During my stay at this hotel, I enjoyed the stunning views and beautiful grounds, but I found some aspects lacking for a five-star resort. The views overlooking Lough Leane were unbelievable, and the ambiance in the public spaces was inviting. Unfortunately, the breakfast experience fell short, with some disorganization and the food not being what I expected for the price. The room service and other amenities seemed to be below par, which was quite disappointing considering the hotel's reputation.
