We had a lovely stay in Fota, the staff were amazing and the food was amazing. The hotel itself is nice hotel but the spa is a bit underwhelming. My wife had a treatment and rated the treatment as excellent so that part is impressive it the spa facility itself that needs some work.

One night stay as a family
One night stay, would have loved a longer visit. Every single member of staff that we met was professional, obliging and genuinely pleasant and in good form. That tells a lot about a hotel. We plan to return again.

The stay was very standard —kids are not allowed into the pool after 5 and the hot tub was freezing cold - there was very little here to make us come back.
