Amazing location, staff, and facilities. Food was great. Room was spacious and comfortable.
Bar and cafe were very expensive. Tea and coffee facilities in the room were poor. Despite multiple signs, there were children in adults-only areas of the spa and pool. This was of course the parents' fault - not necessarily Parknasilla's, but there were no staff on hand to enforce the rules When I advised a staff member at reception she apologised and told me she would let her manager know. Unfortunately, this changed nothing the following day.

Almost everything. It’s a wonderful building beautifully maintained with fine artworks on every wall. The staff are attentive and well trained and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is varied and plentiful. I had dinner on both nights in the Pygmalion Restaurant which was faultless. The service from the food and wine waiters was superb. The team in the kitchen put together mouth watering plates of food which left me feeling that I’d had a quality selection of foods. I wandered around the building quite a bit and all the staff were friendly and engaging. All in all a terrific experience.
It would have been good to be able to go directly from the Spa to the sea jetty without having to go up through reception then out through the main entrance Dow n more steps to end up 10 metres from where you first started. The issue is elf and safety apparently 😱

We stayed for one night and the setting and hotel are amazing, weather was glorious and between the outdoor pool and infinity pool and gorgeous walks and beaches it is hard to think of anywhere that could be better Hotel itself was gorgeous and our room had lovely views of the mountains however our shower door wouldn’t close fully which led to a soaking wet floor. Staff were amazing however a little more attentive in certain areas, like explaining the tokens for the lockers in the spa & little bit more explanation from reception when checking in.. eg. Breakfast & where it is on Overall we enjoyed it and will definitely be back :)

Lovely spacious rooms Great staff and facilities
Food - we ate in the bar for lunch and dinner. Very expensive for both and food was of a very low standard. Toasted special, Caesar salad and pasta of the day particular poor, bland, appeared to be heavily microwaved and quality of ingredients low - definitely pre packed chicken and one slice of wafer thin ham in €12 toasted special. We had pre booked the bar for dinner before arrival, asked to be moved to restaurant for dinner having been disappointed by lunch but no availability unfortunately.

I had stayed before and it was the very high standard that I expected. The bed was so comfy and the pillows soft and downy. I had to stop myself from bringing one home ..
I did have a bit of disappointment on the second night for dinner. I ordered the Lamb two ways I think it was called. Whenever I have had similar it had included the lap as this did, but this time it was pure fat and almost slimey and not crispy which is what I would be used too. Also one cutlet was very little meat and a lot of fat. However, I was offered a complimentary dessert which I very much appreciated

Hotel itself is spectacular when you arrive and the remoteness was ideal. Pool area and infinity pool was exceptional with the water heated and all facilities in perfect condition. We didn't get any treatments so can't comment there. Breakfast was lovely and plenty of food with excellent table service. Lunch and Dinner were only ok and not what you would expect for the prices so not a good review here - not that there was anything wrong with it but just very ordinary for extraordinary prices. Location is lovely and the walks and views around the hotel are like nothing else you would find.
Food at lunch and dinner could be better for what you were charged - we paid over €100 for lunch and nearly €200 for dinner for 2 courses. Found that €14 for a glass of wine extortionate and €17 for a cocktail if you wanted one a bit steep.

This was our second trip to Parknasilla in 6 months and again it did not disappoint. I had recently stayed in my first 5* hotel and it was not a patch on the experience I had in Parknasilla. If you are looking for a relaxing break away well this is the place to go. The beautiful grounds, numerous walks around hundreds of acres, the stunning infinity pool, food was great, we ate in the Doolittle restaurant for lunch and dinner on both days and most importantly the staff were amazing. The staff are super friendly and helpful with everything, it appears nothing is too much of an ask. 5* worthy resort and we have already booked our return trip for September and we look forward to taking a boat trip from the resort around the stunning Peninsula.

Staff were wonderful and very helpful. Breakfast was big and worth the extra price. Room was large with roomy bathroom area. The spa was nice with multiple areas for steam rooms, sauna, and showers to cool off in between. Loved the walking trails which are well-maintained, even in the shoulder season. Wish I could have stayed longer! The lounge areas were cozy with fireplace and games. Appreciated that the outdoor pool is adults-only. The pool area does require swim caps for an extra fee and towel/robe rental for an extra fee which seemed excessive due to the price of the hotel.
The whole place is just a little bit outdated and could use some small renovations to make it feel cleaner and fresher. But still a lovely place.

Fantastic location with stunning views, walking routes aplenty, nice relaxed atmosphere with guests of mixed ages, and easy to explore local sights. The outdoor heated adults pool is so relaxing with great views over the bay. We also enjoyed the food in the Doolittle bar - tasty & well priced. The live pianist in Doolittle bar added a great atmosphere!
The bed was quite hard. No fridge in the room meant no ability to have chilled water. The bathroom is quite small, hard to move around with the door so close to the toilet. Staff were nice, but there wasn’t the same warmth and chattiness that you get in some Irish country hotels. Some dishes served at dinner in Pygmalion were pretty average - burnt rice accompanied a main dish and the bread basket was a bit stale. We found breakfast pretty basic - no proper coffee machine, not great options for dairy alternatives. Fresh fruit selection was basic - no berries etc. I would advise improving your breakfast offering to really make this a great destination!

The location of this property is outstanding. We loved the views from the breakfast room, Infinity Pool and outside terrace. I swam every morning in the indoor pool during the adult only session. We also did three walking trails and stopped for a cup of tea at the Golf Club.
The Hotel is very busy so it is better when the weather allows you to spread out and sit outside. We also struggled and failed to arrange a boat trip having given 3 days notice.
