A very large hotel resturant was not a place to sit and relax extremely busy with families and extremely loud too many dtaff with little knowledge of service. Sitting outside the fake grass on the ground was saturated with water and the was furniture filty. A plastic bottle dumped in the flower pot. Unclean carpets throughout the hotel and absolutely no attention to detail. It could be perfect with the right management snd professional staff. Breakfast was perfect 👌. More of a 3 star than 4.

Great family hotel, very friendly staff, fast service which really accomodates young children. Fabulous facilities all around and of course the Jurassic Park is an extra special place, especially for kids who love dinosaurs! So much to do without being fleeced at every turn. Family of 5 and we had an absolute ball!! Girls already asking to go again!

This was a nice property with friendly staff and good food. There were lots of families with children so it was pretty busy. The beds were a bit lumpy/worn in spots and the bathroom shower drained in such a way that you had to be careful on the floor surround.

We loved this property for many reasons. The food was great. The pool and spa area was a great surprise. It was kid friendly and there was a steam room, plunge bath, hot tub and sauna for adults. There is a great petting zoo, park, dinosaur walk and fairy lane for kids. The room was a bit hot, the AC was loud and didn’t work thoroughly however it could be because it’s Ireland and we are Canadians with different weather extreme experience! Overall would recommend!

Overall a good stay however not enough towels or toiletries in the room for a-family of 4. Breakfast was ok my children and I had pancakes which were very rubbery in texture and not nice to eat.
