Had a fabulous time during my stay a few weeks ago.The hotel is very close to kenmare town centre. Close to local amenities. Particular staff that come to mind are two bar staff that we met over our stay by the name of micheala and darragh who were very friendly and attentive to our needs very genuine people.And this young...

I have just returned from 2 night stay in this hotel. I had purchased a great deal from one of the deals websites and while it was clearly great value I think the service provided in the bar was unacceptable. The bar was busy for dining customers and it appeared to be one waitress working so she appeared under pressure.... More

Stayed for a Saturday night while attending a family event. Room was spacious and very neatly kept. There was a lot of activity in the hotel with communion parties but this did not disturb our stay. Leisure centre facilities are brilliant. This was our second stay in the hotel and both were fantastic.

We spent 13th and 14th May in this hotel. From the very first the friendliness of all the staff was overwhelming. They had upgraded us to a superior room, which had a bathroom with an actual bath, plus heated floor and heated mirror. The walk into town is only two minutes, and we went out both evenings on strolls to... More

This hotel is quite good. It is a 10 minute walk into the town. The rooms are clean and the bathrooms are decent. The breakfast is good, we also had dinner here which was average enough. We ate at some restaurants in the town and there is a good choice. The hotel overall is good but the thing that lets... More

I recently had a very pleasant weekend in the Kenmare Bay hotel. Despite the awful weather we enjoyed the relaxing, comfortable atmosphere and the town being so close is great given our climate. The reception staff were very helpful and took time to answer our questions and of course discuss the weather. The room was comfortable and the bed was... More

Just stayed in the 4* Kenmare Bay Hotel and here is why we loved it. Firstly they get the basics right, good location minutes walk from Kenmare, great standard of accommodation (we stayed in the luxury lodges), good facilities and nice staff. However, the real winner is the Kids Club which made all the difference. Our kids did baking, painting,... More
