Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate
Galway
12/04/2026: Truly 5 star across all aspects of the hotel.
Fabulous spa, gorgeous room with great views, fantastic breakfast, amazing kind staff.
08/04/2026: I was really excited to stay in this hotel - it's been on my list of hotels I have wanted to go to for a while. Overall I wouldn't be coming back which is real shame as I was looking for a nice place to take my family every Christmas.
1. Stains on my pillows in bedroom - the two stained pillows should have been put in bin I have no idea why the housekeeper put them on bed.
2. The hotel says it's an ''estate'' with over 138 acres - the reality is there is a 9 hole golf course - with a short 20min walk to the side of it as the only real ''walk''. On the website it is rather deceiving making it seem it is a large estate with many walks. There is small walled garden and just the 20min walk - which is really just on golf course. I was expecting trials and various walks around for 1hour.
3. I really like listening to piano player in bar - but two days in a row he plays the same songs..
4. If you want any service in the cocktail bar you have to go to the bar yourself which for a 5 star hotel isn't acceptable. There was only one bar man - who has to cover 3 different rooms himself as well as make cocktails and also do whiskey tastings. He needs atleast one other member of staff there.
5. The cocktail bar during day has music so low if it's just you and another table you hear their whole conversation which I don't want to. Same as having lunch in the abbey with my partner another couple same in - with no real music and small space you feel pretty awkward even talking.
6. The Pullman restaurant is an unusual experience however the food isn't to standard for 1 star Michelin and staff. I could go into another 8 points here as to why but I won't.
7. No gym - how can a hotel be 5 star with no gym?
8. Spa treatments are nice however relax area looks on to golf car park? First time for everything - a simple curtain to block this out would be better.

Dan's Bar
Athenry
16/10/2025: It might have been the time of day but I am 53 and I felt like the youngest person there by far. It is a nice pub and I will return. The Guinness was good and the food was good. A worthwhile stop. The bartender and the chef were very friendly and welcoming.

West
Bearna
17/05/2026: This place was such a hidden gem. We found it last minute coming from Galway and managed to get a reservation. The service was great and the food was even better. The prime rib was honestly some of the best I’ve had great quality and cooked perfectly. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to soon.
14/05/2026: Our favourite place for Sunday brunch. Amazing food and atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Santoor
Oranmore
01/04/2026: We read a review saying it was the best butter chicken they'd ever had, so we had to go and see for ourselves. It was fantastic. We loved it so much we went back the next day. The service was also very attentive.
Thanks to the anonymous reviewer and thanks to the restaurant team.
01/04/2026: Amazing food and amazing service. We went there 2 nights in a row 🤩 and it was really good! The butter chicken is really good, and also the size of the starters is pretty good and you get to try different things (like the tandoori chicken -2 big pieces in the picture or the lamb kebab -4 pieces).
Really recommended

Happy Food at Home
15/04/2026: The best Vegan food in Ireland , amazing delicious very healthy too, I try every Saturday to go to the milk market to get goodies or I try go to ballysimon on a random Wednesday if I can. My favourite thing in the world is the marinated tofu focaccia sandwich thing. I am obsessed. Infact I'm going to the airport tomorrow and I'm going to get the tofu sandwich today just to have at the airport that's how delicious it is! For dessert, the peanut chocolate crispie squares are to die for ! Thank you Ciara! Love from Aisling Lyons, Limerick.
27/11/2025: Superb salads here! Fresh vegan menu that changes every week. Easy to find too, just plug it into google maps ;-)

05/10/2025: The waitress was quite rude, the scone and the sandwich were dry and the soup was like spicy baby food. Disappointing.

Wow, you won't want to leave. If you love sweets 😀
The display alone is a dream and absolutely delicious.

The Arches Hotel
Baile chláir
09/05/2026: I was in there for dinner and it was really disappointing. Chips were raw. Dishes weren't described as they came. There was a bone in the chicken dish and everything had no flavour and lacked salt. Very disappointing wont be coming again
03/05/2026: Very friendly service. You can eat in peace and quiet at an affordable price.
