I have a long association with the hotel since before our wedding reception there over fifty years ago. We were both born in East Cork and Garryvoe was a frequent haunt. It is always good to revisit and revive the memories of "Happy Days".

The food, a light lunch,dinner and breakfast was excellent. The breakfast was room serviced and arrived at the requested time with the warm dishes still hot. The service at every point was friendly and efficient. The facilities in the health club well proportioned and managed. The location near the beach is a bonus too.
