I had mixed feelings about my stay. The facility boasts beautiful grounds and some child-friendly amenities, making it great for family time. However, the cleanliness in our room left much to be desired, and the dining experience was quite chaotic during breakfast. Overall, it lacks the consistency of a true 5-star experience, but we did enjoy some highlights.

My recent stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the grounds were beautifully manicured and the spa offered fantastic treatments, there were significant issues with room service and dining that fell below expectations for a hotel of this caliber. The check-in experience and some staff interactions were quite pleasing, but overall, the service should be improved to match the hotel’s purported standard. While the amenities were decent, better maintenance would go a long way.

We had a lovely weekend at Fota Island Resort, where the staff provided exceptional service that truly enhanced our stay. The spa facilities were a highlight, with amazing treatments that left us feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. However, there were some issues with the dining experience that didn't meet our expectations, particularly the food quality in the bar. Overall, it was a mixed bag but I would recommend it for the spa and friendly staff.
