I go to this resort several times a year and enjoy the spa immensely. I will make this short. I found the Resort and the staff outstanding, not only did they do everything to make my stay wonderful they went above and beyond my expectations. I had a fantastic vacation with great service, food and the spa is fantastic I... More

Loved lots of things about this resort, such as the quaint cottage, large comfortable bed, access to the beach, but there were a couple of items that we were disappointed with. Our shower was below standard, the kitchen sink had more pressure. Our biggest complaint was with the wifi. We were very disappointed when attempting to access the wifi in... More

I had seen a lot of the reviews for Tigh-Na-Mara and they are mostly favourable, so when we booked a stay through a Travelzoo deal, I was expecting something pretty special. While we went to Tigh-Na-Mara on a discounted travel offer, I expect the business is using such a vehicle as an opportunity to create repeat and referral business. We... More

I recently took a trip to the Tigh Na Mara resort with my family. I usually stay at the Beach Club resort but as we wanted to take our dog this time around, we decided to give this resort a try. We had heard great reviews about this resort so we had high expectations. Unfortunately our experience was not a... More

The only bad part about Tigh-Na-Mara is the sadness you feel on the day you leave. The location is ideal with an amazing beach right on the doorstep. Very relaxing place with a ton of space for privacy. It feels like you are in a very remote location but you are actually within close range to some amenities. If you're... More

We stayed at the Spa Bungalows at Tigh-Na-Mara resort, which are across the street from the actual resort so no view to the ocean, but the bungalows are very nice, clean, have all amenities in them, including kitchen and dishes, etc. Beds were comfortable, however, we could hear our neighbours as the units are pretty close to each other.

Stayed one night in a cabin. We did the "Girls Night In" package. Cabin was rustic but comfy, wine waiting for us. When we got to the spa, were disappointed to find out we didn't have "time for the lovely mineral pool, as we had to be picked up for our pedicure appointments (half hour before they were due) When...

I took my fiance out to Tigh Na Mara for a weekend getaway. The rooms are not luxurious or modern. It is more laid back in a cabin/lodge sort of way. This is ideal to get away from our modern society. I found this type of accommodation to be equally relaxing and enjoyable. We had a jacuzzi in our room... More
