Ocean Palace
Ballina
28/07/2026: We ordered food at 8:58. Called two hours later at 10:43 as it still wasn’t delivered was told it was only just out for delivery (2 hours after ordering). Still havnt gotten any food at 11:20 and they’re advertised as closed at 11:30.
09/06/2026: Very underwhelming. The waitress is awful, walking around chewing gum, and can't even look the customer in the eye or smile and no interaction.
Food was average, I had pork with ginger and scallions, couldn't taste the ginger, and there was maybe half a scallion. The other meal was Thai chilli beef stir fry, which was basically in a sweet chilli sauce, not as we expected from the menu description.
Sorry, but not a good experience, I would save my money and go elsewhere.
Toilets are filthy 🤮

08/04/2026: Old tired bathroom with grout missing from tiles in major need of a refurbishment. Never a 4 star hotel. Bedroom also old fashioned. Whole place needs modernisation.
Update, the hotel apologised and said I should not have been in room 212 as it should have been closed for renovations. The hotel kindly offered a full refund. I will update score after I stay in another room.
Update
Room 209, bathroom brand new

Twin Trees Hotel & Leisure Club
Ballina
29/06/2026: One night at this Hotel was all I need to escape my daily routine ❤️
Receptionists were friendly and helpful.
Shouts to Aishling, Leisure Centre Operations Administrator.
Would love to visit again 🇩🇿 absolutely worth it
28/06/2026: So disappointed with the service. We had to wait 1 hour in the check in at 3pm as the room weren't ready (so the check in was at 4pm). It seems it was a confusion with the guests but they call me the day before to confirm it. Please avoid the bar and restaurant. We went with 2 kids (1 year and 4 years) for dinner and we had to wait for 1 hour (I'm not lying here) for terrible and cold food. If I were you just book to go to the swimming pool only as it is the best part of the hotel.

Lantern Chinese Restaurant
Ballina
12/07/2026: They are trying to be dog friendly. Just call a few hours ahead, talk to the owner and she may make arrangements for you to sit Ina cordoned off area.
11/07/2026: Takeout food okay, maybe a bit highly priced.
The only Chinese restaurant in 60 years that has no chop sticks... And you get a soup bit no spoon...

Supermac's Fresh Express
Ballina
06/07/2026: I would rate better than McDonald's and burger king try the chips and chilli
08/06/2026: Sophia is just amazing in there, so friendly and kind. I had a very moody and tired toddler who didn’t know what ice cream he wanted, she was so good with him and he was then able to pick one. She was so patient and friendly though out the whole interaction. What an asset to the place :)

Apache Pizza
Ballina
31/07/2026: Not very helpful. Order two medium pizza for collection over the phone, they would not give the pop in deal price per the website saying it was online offer only. Other locations are customer focused and provide the offer for walk in collections.
30/06/2026: i ordered 3 cheese garlic breads and a portions tenders. Guess how many times we had to ring?… THREE, three times they hung up cause they thought we were a scam, just cause we couldn’t hear him with his shitty signal. THEN and only then he threatened to call legal sources on us. WE JUST WONTED OUR FOOD but i guess not it just kept going and going it got to a point. we got our food quick though and that member of staff and that girl only was nice. I was very disappointed in the attitude in our ringer so i wish to worn other near victims
kind regards,
amy, saoirse , chloe, katie & siphie

Bisini
Ballina
29/07/2025: We were on our holidays in Ballina and decided to get an Indian takeaway. Going on reviews on Tripadvisor we went with Bisini. I don't know what the people who reviewed this were eating but our experience was awful. The onion bajani were burnt and the food was awful. We would never again go back!
15/06/2025: The beef korma is absolutely delicious
