Park Hotel Kenmare

Excellent experience 10 out of 10 we loved our room and the spa was wonderful. We highly recommend it!

We visited for lunch. The staff were very nice however our lunch was certainly not what you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Our chips were cold and a steak sandwich was also cold. A burger was not as described and also was barely warm When we mentioned that our chips were cold we were told that they would be replaced however we were ready to leave and the chips had not been replaced. We mentioned to a staff member who just apologised and said that they would note our comments. He did not change us for 2 drinks. My husband then felt that he needed to speak to a manager. 5 star hotel needs 5 star attention .The manager asked where we were from which was 4 hours away and he said that the next time we were passing to call him and he would give us a free lunch....Feel that the Park Hotel is not as it was with its previous owners, and food definitely not 5 star. So disappointed with food and response to our issues

I honestly feel like I have glimpsed heaven. A beautiful and charming hotel, full of old fashioned charm and friendliness, with views of gardens, mountains and a lake, you could only dream of. The breakfast and dinner were perfect. I hope it never changes

Romantic get away with gorgeous grounds. The spa is over the top. We will return. Also the service and attention to detail was impressive. Thank you for a perfect time. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

We haven't been in the park in 11 yrs which we stayed in a couple of times. I was disappointed in the refurb.But that's personal taste. We called in for there blue bottle coffee best in Europe. Sadly it was average and it was Luke warm. The waiter brought the scones which where nice. I had to ask for side plates and knives to butter them. We weren't even given napkins for the younger ones. So 5 star service this was not and I had being longing to get back for an adults spa weekend after the many wonderful stays there before kids but after this its lost its appeal sadly.

We enjoyed a lovely one-night stay at the Park Kenmare. The hotel is well-appointed and the property is gorgeous. You will have access to trails that bring you through gardens and down to the water. It's really very pretty. The grounds are meticulously maintained with beautiful flowers and plants. Whoever is in charge of landscaping deserves a hat tip. It's a really pretty place to spend some time. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and bright. We enjoyed the sitting area outside - they may want to consider umbrellas for rain or sun. The room temperature was perfect for us, a welcome change as it was unseasonably warm and Irish hotels tend to run hot. The spa is fantastic and worthy of another trip. The thermal suites and amenities, especially the edge pool outside, are high-end and ultra luxe. The staff are helpful and friendly; my massage treatment was excellent. I hope to return someday relatively soon for a whole spa weekend with multiple services. It's a destination worth considering for Samas alone, but Kenmare town makes it even better. The hotel is a quick walk to town. Kenmare is small, but worth exploring. We enjoyed live music at Crowley's. We did have cocktails at the bar. My spouse said it was the best Negroni on this trip. I enjoyed a martini. The piano in the sitting room was a nice touch. The service was friendly. This was a big hiking trip for us, so we arrived disheveled with only backpacks. They didn't bat an eye! They also pointed us in the right direction for our hike back to Killarney on the Old Kenmare Road. If we had to give any constructive feedback, it would be that the service staff at breakfast fell short. They need to let you know if things need to be ordered a certain way. For example, we ordered yogurt and fruit (this is exactly how it's described on the menu), but we only got a bowl of yogurt. The waiter never checked up on it and we didn't want to hunt him down. I ended up putting the jam on the table in my yogurt. Other tables had toast and bread (presumably why there was jam on the table), but we did not receive any and we were not asked if we wanted any. Did we need to order that special? We don't know because it was never explained to us. It felt like there was a secret breakfast menu ordering technique that we failed to realize. Overall, a lovely stay with compelling reasons to return. We regret we could not stay longer and hope to visit again.
