The Gleneagle Hotel & Apartments
Killarney
20/08/2025: We stayed at the Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney for one night (all 33 of us) to celebrate our Dad’s 80th birthday and it truly exeded all expectations. From start to finish, the staff could not have done enough for us.
A huge thank you to Anita, who was wonderful in helping us organise everything in advance, from rooms to dinner and dance bookings, making the whole process so easy. On the night, the amazing Fiadh Restaurant team made our family dinner really special. They had a personalised birthday sign for Dad and brought out dessert while singing 'Happy Birthday' - such a thoughtful touch! With our big group (and a few late arrivals!) we weren’t the easiest bunch to coordinate, but the team were so kind, patient and accommodating throughout. The food and service were excellent.
We’d also like to mention Seán, the duty manager, who went above and beyond to make sure we were all seated together later in the evening. His attention and care didn’t go unnoticed and really added to our experience.
The entertainment with Jimmy Buckley and his band was simply brilliant - there was something for everyone and the dancefloor was full all night long, with every generation joining in, from the little ones right through to Dad himself! It was the perfect way to celebrate such a milestone birthday and we all had an absolute ball.
Beyond the celebrations, the hotel itself was fantastic. The rooms were lovely and comfortable, the kids had a great time in the leisure centre and breakfast the following morning was absolutely delicious. The lobby spaces were ideal for our family too, with plenty of room to meet, sit and chat - especially perfect for our parents to relax while the rest of us came and went. The reception staff were also so friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
We left with full hearts, sore feet from dancing and the most wonderful memories. Thank you to everyone at the Gleneagle Hotel for making it such a wholesome and memorable family celebration - we couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend!
18/08/2025: Wonderful hotel. Staff are lovely and facilities fantastic. The only points I would mention is the lack of communication on busy dining periods at the hotel. We had to taxi to Killarney as waiting period was 1hr for seating and 40mins to service. If this was relayed at check in we would have put our name down sooner to avoid hangry children.
Also the room was like a SAUNA. So bad that our youngest didn't sleep a wink which meant we didn't which meant we checked out early to get home to sleep. I understand weather is a factor but this was beyond uncomfortable.
These are points I make but the hotel and staff as a whole deserve 5 stars.

Major Colgan's
10/08/2025: After a long day exploring the Ring of Kerry, we had a great dinner at Colgan’s during our stay at the Muckross Park Hotel. The Guinness beef stew, pan roasted Atlantic salmon, & apple crumble tart were all fantastic!
05/08/2025: Excellent service and the food was out of this world! From the main plates to the dessert we so enjoyed our time here!

Casita Mexicana
Killarney
17/08/2025: I had a very disappointing experience at Casita mexicana in Killarney. From the moment we walked in, the three staff members (two boys and one girl) were laughing, staring, and gossiping while looking at me and my husband, which made us feel mocked and disrespected. It was extremely unprofessional.
The food was also underwhelming. The orange juice tasted like it came straight from a concentrate box — bitter, poor quality, and with a strong taste of preservatives. The portions were very small, and instead of authentic preparation, they just threw some Doritos on the plate and called it Mexican food.
Overall, both the service and the food were a major disappointment. I would not recommend this place. The staff need proper training in both customer service and professionalism. I left feeling sad and disrespected.
02/08/2025: The food wasn't bad, and the service was good. The only thing is that I think it's a bit pricey for what they offer. A €21 dish is a bit much for what they serve, and it's never enough for two people, as recommended. (They do have gluten-free options.)

Paul Geaney's Bar
An daingean
14/08/2025: Alot going on and crowded. Otherwise, great pints
12/08/2025: I didn't come for food only drink. I believe if I were a local this is a pub I would attend more frequently. This is just salt of the Earth. No gimmicks nothing to bring you in but a warm atmosphere and great staff. Excellent pour of Guinness and I strongly recommend the Dingle whiskey.

02/03/2025: Called in here by chance on our stay in Tralee and have never been in a more friendly bar!! Our son was with us and everybody from the owner who bought him a magazine and an Easter egg to the lady behind the bar who went out of her way to get taytos for us as they did not stock them to the clientele who all had big hello's and many stood to our son, hugely grateful that we called in and to all in the bar who made it such a pleasurable evening we are extremely grateful, hope to be back at some stage!

Mountain View B&B
27/06/2025: I fell in love, here you can really breathe the air of the Irish countryside. A pearl immersed in the greenery, surrounded by horses, cows and sheep. A quiet place and cared for in the smallest details.
The owner was really kind and friendly, she was kind enough to advise us on the best tour to do to visit the area and she recommended excellent restaurants with typical cuisine.
If you have to stop in the area, you will definitely not regret staying at Mountain view.
23/06/2025: Good choice. Friendly owner, perfect location.

O'Carrolls Cakes
Killarney
10/06/2025: Gary is a very conceited man who does not accept criticism, I pointed out to him in e-mail that the website is poorly constructed and they charge money for orders they cannot fulfill. I was listed a lot of criteria which I did not meet when I placed the order in a very conceited way. I still haven't received a refund. I didn't think that ordering a cake would be so complicated. just modify the website in such a way that you do not collect money from the client when you are unable to complete the task. Not understanding my postulate, I was called very rude!
30/04/2025: I have ordered cakes from O’Carroll’s for a number of occasions including our wedding cake and my wife’s 30th birthday. The cakes have always tasted outstanding. Everyone raves about them they are a real crowd pleaser. Gary clearly has passion for his work, the cakes are very reasonably priced, very generous portions and always fresh and tasty. Gary has also been extremely accommodating. I highly recommend O’ Carroll’s cakes for any occasion you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for all the lovely cakes we look forward to ordering more in the future.

The Horseshoe
Kenmare
13/07/2025: Esta fue nuestra primera experiencia cenando en The Horseshoe después de muchos años de simplemente "tomar bebidas" en este popular pub de Kenmare. En busca de mejillones con salsa picante los encontramos en Horseshoe. Una salsa de chile y chorizo que estaba perfecta. Los mejillones estaban cocinados en su punto justo, de modo que todos menos uno se abrieron, pero permanecieron regordetes y sabrosos en la salsa picante que estaba distribuida uniformemente sobre ellos. He probado porciones más grandes de mejillones en otros pubs, pero rara vez una salsa picante con mucho cuerpo que te pidiera que comieras la salsa que quedaba como sopa después de haber comido todos los mariscos. Nuestro mayor cumplido siempre es: "Volveremos".
10/06/2025: Gran lugar. Parece un restaurante una vez que estás en la puerta, no dejes que esto te desanime. Muy agradable. Gran stout. Muy agradable, personal amable. Comí unas pintas antes y luego volví para la cena, que estaba delicioso.
