Hotel itself is in good condition but our room was poor and was clearly in need of maintenance.

On arrival, around midnight, a few people were congregating at the entrance smoking, not a great start to an apparent 5* guest arrival. I then loitered in the lobby until the night manager finally looked up from his screen before he gave me my room key and pointed me toward the elevator. Room was ok, I suspect it was nice in earlier days but the furniture felt dated and tatty which is excusable. What felt dirty was the mouldy grout in the shower and the silicone that looked like it had been applied with a spoon. Towels were replaced on housekeeping but soaps were not. Breakfast was top tier, very good standard of food for the cooked items. But the most disappointing part of the stay was inability to sleep due to the compulsory participation in the wedding event below the room. They had great music but it’s very tiresome when trying to sleep. I’d genuinely considered sleeping in the car it was so loud, not what you’d expect for what is considered a 5* luxury resort. I’d like to think that the ability to sleep is the most important factor of any hotel, and it’s not something this hotel sells at weekends! Very disappointing stay in general as I’d hoped to escape the hustle and bustle but ended up feeling as though I was sleeping above a night club - or trying to!

The property is very nice. However, there isn't much to do there if you aren't golfing. Reservations are required to use the pool and there is very limited availability. Avoid the on-site restaurant- food and service are not good.

This hotel is gorgeous. The whole experience from start to finish was brilliant. All the staff were friendly & helpful. The room and bathroom were spacious and spotlessly clean. And the breakfast was lovely too with a great selection of everything. Hoping to return again sometime.

Lovely hotel. Nice public areas,comfortable bedrooms and first class bathrooms. Very good breakfast and food in adjoining clubhouse was excellent. The only thing we did not like was leaving and hope to rectify this in not too distant future

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. Our room was beautiful and having air conditioning was fantastic! We did book a room that was supposed to have a bidet, which it did not. We also had a room with a deep soaking tub, which is what we wanted since we were on our honeymoon. However, the drain stopper for the tub did not work so we had to "MacGyver" something in order to have the tub hold water. The water pressure in the tub was also not great, so between that and the water slowly draining out, it took about an hour to fill up the tub. By the time it was ready to use we were frustrated and it was late - put a pretty big damper on our night.

Great hotel and amenities. Great breakfast in morning. My only grip would have been that I thought the food was overpriced for what it was. In the bar area €24 for a burger that was just average and a starter at €16. The service was excellent though and maybe that was why it costs so much.

All parts of Foto we experienced were beyond expectations. It was a special spot and a perfect respite from Dublin for a long weekend. Every staff that we came in contact with exceeded our expectations. The minute we came thru the gates, the beauty of the resort was astounding. The food was fabulous. Every meal was a treat. Hope to go back

I think the is the nicest hotel we have ever started in. Everything was such a a high standard. All spotless, friendly and helpful staff. Grounds are amazing and the hotel restaurants and pool are really nice too. Along with being so close to the wildlife park. It’s the perfect family hotel
