Fota Island Hotel and Spa  

Everything. It's a great Hotel. Pure luxury.

Excellent staff, service, food and spa. Would recommend.

The hotel was fabulous the spa and pool were fabulous. The staff were very accomodating we had not booked dinner in the hotel and it was 9.30 by the time we arrived at the restaurant and it was full so the concierge booked a near by restaurant for us and drove us to it himself.

Its location and grounds surrounding the hotel. The breakfast was quite good but alot of young children around.

The room was not as luxurious as we would have expected. The en-suite however was. The bed, as big as it was, was not the most comfortable. We found it to be very hard. Our main disappointment was the spa. There was nothing that was included for the price other than a small swimming pool where the water was very cold and the windows looking outside were filthy which was very off putting. Also it was very family orientated with alot of young children in all areas of the hotel all the time which became very over-bearding considering it was a spa hotel. Although Fota Island hotel was a nice hotel, it definitely was not of 5 star quality and we would be quite reluctant to return.

Hotel is clean & luxurious, the rooms are spacious. Located close to Wildlife park & Fota house. The food in the restaurant is excellent, bar staff are friendly & helpful. Overall a very enjoyable trip, and I would happily recommend Fota island hotel.

It is simply the best !!

Everything including the receptionist.

Very friendly staff, excellent food, large room.

Little bit outside Cork, just to be aware

Food & Beverage Staff were excellent! My partner asked for very rare steak and received it well done but the manager took care of it very quickly and replaced it with a wonderful dish thank you! Room was nice perhaps a little small but we did get it at a reasonable price view was nice and it was quite. Liked the idea that we could access the spa directly from the rooms

The Front office staff were polite but cold/distant! I don't like staff sitting down while you talk to them makes the guest feel very uncomfortable. As we have stayed in a few 5 star hotels ie Dromoland Castle, Ashford & Four Seasons was disappointed that Foto Island didnt have the same feel or luxury to it no little extras in the rooms or main bathrooms etc to me it is a good 4 Star only. Golf course fantastic swimming pool small and surprised that hats were not needed!! Overall, they have a great Food & Beverage team so thanks to them but Front Office Staff need to be looked at as they are the first point of contact

Warm friendly welcome well appointed room excllent food with comprehensive wine list situated in a most wonderfull setting

Hotel accounts failed to apply reduced vat rates introduced days before our visit

Great food

I loved the spa area.

The food in the dining room was not up to 5star quality

I didn't like the fact that there were black spots for the WiFi Hotspots. and the lack of connectivity from the room.

Loved the location. Reception staff could be better informed as I asked whether the pool had a sauna and steam room, said that she did not know and I could phone the spa and ask, room could do with a revamp, I would not rate this hotel as a five star.
