The accommodations were fine but the restaurant was lacking. The food was not very good overall and the prices/set meal structure was by far the most expensive we encountered on our 2 week trip. We ate at restaurants in London, Dublin, and Edinburgh and not only was the food much better it was actually more fairly priced. Last, the hotel seemed to be family vs couple focused which is fine if traveling with children. We weren’t but the info may be helpful for other travelers if seeking a couples get away or the reverse.

A very friendly hotel staff with great activities for families. Our room was comfortable but no air conditioning available. All requests were achieved quickly and great location in Killarney.

The hotel was large and well suited to the older generation or families. Entertainment and the accommodation was more suited to those groups. Having said that the staff were friendly and very helpful and the location was fantastic being right opposite the national park. Fridge in the room would have been nice

It was disappointing that the girls who competed at AllIrelands weren't allowed to use the pool even though they had showered the evening before to remove the tan and again the following morning.. but seemingly there cannot be a trace of tan on them... Good luck with the guests that you let in the other 51 weeks of the year.. Apparently I was told by a member of senior staff that its parents that put on tan on children for comps and to show her where in THE CLRG POLICIES that's its compulsory even though dance teachers tell all competors over 10 to wear it and they are all members of CLRG
