We arrived late are were appointed a room which smelled strongly of chemicals. As an asthma sufferer and presently on steroids I couldn’t stay in same. At reception a very pleasant and helpful young man explained that the room was newly renovated, thus the chemical smell( paint or carpet adhesive) anyway, he went to extrordainary lengths to sort us out and restored our faith in this 5 star establishment. Well done Joe, ask for a raise you deserve it!!! Thank you for turning an unpleasant experience into a positive and happy one.

A gem in the rough
We were so disappointed in the overall experience at Fota! It seemed criminal to be disappointed, as this was truly a beautiful facility! There were a few staff who really treated us spectacularly, however, there were more who just missed the mark. They could really use some training on enhancing the customer experience. The bar and restaurant, especially. We were initially assigned a room with a lovely layout, king bed, plush robes- just lovely. Then, 4 hours in, the toilet stopped working! They moved us a few doors down into a wheelchair assist room with a double bed. Bathroom facilities not conducive to relaxation, a shower that barely trickled, no tub, paper thin robes. Said they’d overbooked the hotel and had no other room for us, which we would understand, it was just the delivery of the information that was appalling. The experience overall left us cold. We were compensated with a small bottle of wine and some chocolates, and the next morning the gal who checked us out comp’d our bar bill and a small room service fee. That made us feel better. But we won’t return.

Not a 5 star experience
I recently stayed at Fota hotel for New Year’s Eve,we stayed in a suite. Upon arrival we were full of excitement,our check in was great, the receptionist gave us a lovely welcome and we received our key card.
We entered our suite and on first glance it looked lovely. We headed to the pool in our robes (belt missing on one robe) then returned to the room. However upon return and after running a bath we discovered the tv wasn’t working in there and that mostly all cupboards were fairly worn,definetly not 5 star standard. I ordered new robes from reception as ours were now wet from the spa,they said they would send up the robes but they didn’t arrive for over 20 mins,we both were already showered and dressed by this time. We then attempted to make tea and discovered the kettle was broken. I didn’t call reception as the robes took so long I wasn’t waiting another 20 minutes for a new kettle. I then wanted to request a breakfast in bed the next morning but the order slip at the door had already been filled in by someone else, so I presume the cleaners accidentally left it in our room.
After this we just went downstairs for dinner which to be honest wasn’t great. I had duck for starter which was so dry,my partner had soup which was ok and we both had a burger for mains which was also disappointing.
It’s just really disappointing,I’ve been to quite a few resorts around ireland and I really did expect more. I paid £267 for the night.
