Reviews of Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa

Jeffrey
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, showing great Irish hospitality. The room was comfortable and offered a lovely view of the Atlantic. The meals were exceptional in terms of quality, choice, and presentation. The spa facilities were enjoyable. The location of the lodge was idyllic, with outstanding views. The welcome glass of champagne added a special touch to our arrival. The plush couches in reception and assistance with our bags made us feel truly pampered. The Irish Mist drink upon arrival was a great touch.
Everything was spot on.

The hotel really is a blast! The location between the two beaches is unique. In the rooms you can hear and see the Atlantic all day long. A lot is offered but also in the rooms you can relax very well. A real treat!

Your staff are outstanding. Every member of staff we had contact with was charming, helpful and really kind.Your location is special, too
We eat in The Pub and had good food. We decided not to eat in the main restaurant, because, on looking at the menu, we thought the selection looked dull.

Margaret
The location of the hotel is delightful, with pleasant drives and beautiful scenery nearby. The spa treatments are top-notch, and the staff, especially Brendan in the bar and the housekeeping staff in the restaurant, provide exceptional service. The rooms are comfortable and bright, with good views of the beach. The breakfast offers a great selection and is well presented.
The WiFi signal is poor and the speed is low.

The location was enjoyable with a welcoming pool. Meals in the bar had limited vegetarian options. The staff was pleasant and helpful, willing to assist with requests. Breakfasts by the window had a wonderful view.

The courtesy and friendliness of all the staff. The location itself was very peaceful and the views were superb.
At breakfast fried eggs were not cooked to order! No doubt this could be due to staff shortage in kitchen. Not a complaint... just an observation!

The room was very comfortable and the staff were extremely friendly yet professional. The dinner was excellent - a very creative menu and all dishes were cooked and presented perfectly.
We were very disappointed with the leisure centre and spa facilities. We felt that the leisure centre was dirty - tiles in and around pool and in the steam-room were dirty. Many of the jets in the pool were broken. My husband and I both felt our massages were rushed, we didn't get a choice of oils and the oils were not heated. The relaxation area is not very comfortable - very noisy and fruit/drinks provided were not fresh.

This hotel was fantastic! The location was absolutely amazing, right on the edge of two beautiful beaches. I could easily walk from the hotel to the spa, the restaurant, and the changing area. The views from the balcony in my room were stunning, overlooking the beach. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of options to choose from. the hotel facilities were top-notch.
Couldn't stay longer.

A few staff members were particuarly nice and helpful.
This hotel promotes itself as a relaxing spa resort. it was anything but. dinner at the hotel was poor and overpriced and children were allowed to run wild around the restaurant. the restaurant manager for breakfast was downright rude and all in all i found the price was far in excess of what was reasonable. this hotel doesnt really know what it is or what its market is, in my opinon, it is not a quiet relaxing spot by any means.

The location of this hotel is absolutely stunning. It is situated right next to the sea, offering breathtaking views of the beach and ocean. The rooms are beautiful, with comfortable beds and luxurious bathrooms. The staff at this hotel provide exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The breakfast options are varied and delicious, catering to all dietary needs. The facilities, such as the spa and pool, are top-notch and perfect for relaxation.
The only downside is a small issue with the breakfast on one morning, where a guest found eggshells in their poached egg.

The view from the bedroom was beautiful, the quiet relaxing room with the fire where one could read etc.
no, just quite expensive for 3 nights, most hotels would offer a free meal for 1 of the nights at the rate we got.

Nothing to be said.
