We stayed in a 3 bed logde. It had TV (flat screen) in all bedrooms, kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need. Hotel very posh if you have kids, business centre has internet access available (so teenagers discovered). Gym large and lots of equipment even though we did not get time to use it. Swimming pool small and... more

Just back from a 3 night stay at the Fota Island Hotel with my boyfriend. I thought it would be a real treat, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed and annoyed with some details...Ok, the positives: this is a very nice hotel, and the staff was very helpful too. The rooms are spacious, and the bathroom... more

We stayed in Fota recently and loved it! The last time I was there was as a child at the wildlife park. The hotel is a little unusual looking from the outside but the interior – especially the lobby and bar - is just beautiful. The staff could not have done more for us right from when we first arrived... more

This hotel is ideal for a relaxing break away from it all. The hotel is situated in a lovely scenic area and still very accessible to Cork city and Cobh if you have transport. I had a treatment in the Spa which was of a very high standard. However, the only downside, if any, to the treatment was I wasn't... more

My wife and I stayed at this resort over the Irish Bank holiday weekend, the hotel is very well appointed and looks amazing. Upon check in the staff were friendly and helpful, we went to our room which was well appointed, with free wired broadband, comfy king size bed and good tv. Problems started when we found there was no... more

We decided to spend a week in Cork this year and had heard about these self catering lodges from a number of friends with small children. We were not disapointed. The lodges are great value and are very comfortable, clean and modern. We booked a 2 bedroom lodge but were given a three bedroom lodge at no added cost. We... more

Stayed for one night only so didn't use the leisure facilities but they looked good. The room was meant to be a deluxe but if it was I don't know what the standard rooms were like. The bed though was really comfortable. The bathroom was excellent, with huge shower & bath and had a good supply of toiletries. The food... more

We recently selected Fota Island for a 2 night break. Having spent the previous night at Waterford Castle, the immediate impression on arrival was one of concern - from a charming, superbly presented castle to a bland "chain hotel". Once inside, all concerns were lost. The hotel is very well appointed - tasteful decor and thoughtful internal layout. We had... more
