We really enjoyed our stay here, the staff were very professional, friendly and warm towards guests. The hotel and facilities were very clean. We really enjoyed the option of breakfast in bed too. The only two things I would make a note on were 1: The cups in our room, they were leaking water, cups and utensils need to be checked. 2: The tiles in the steam room were cracked and falling apart in areas which can cause guests to hurt themselves if they were to step on them. Could do with a touch up tile job! Overall, I would definitely recommend Fota Island Hotel & Spa and we would come back.

Stayed here with friends for a spa weekend, we loved the hotel , rooms were spacious and very clean , spa was very relaxing , unfortunately the jacuzzi and outdoor sauna were out of order but apart from that it was very enjoyable. Lunch and dinner were delicious. Breakfast was nice but it was very busy and had to wait for order for 30 mins. All staff were very friendly and helpful . Highly recommended.

Modern hotel with comfortable room. Dinner service in the restaurant was very poor, the food was pretty good. In an isolated location with beautiful grounds.
