Beautiful resort and location, shocking service, poor attitude of receptionist, cold supermarket bought food over priced

StephenCoffeeLover 5/20/2025 TripAdvisor review

Last minute option due to all surrounding hotels being booked from Dublin to Naas, at 10pm this was my last option other than the Car, so had to fork €260 Euros for a room only, which is not an issue, however on check in the Receptionist insisted to take and extra €100 Euro's payment to cover extras which again is understood, however wouldn't provide a formal receipt therefore expect to have an issue in the morning. I then enquired about room service as it was late and understood restaurant would be closed, immediately the girl told me its closed and no bar food or room service available, however she was quickly corrected be her colleague who confirmed if I dialled 5 on the room phone I could still order room service. Therefore went to my room and immediately placed an order for a basic dinner Pizza and Chips, not exotic or 5* however just something simple. Well that was a 10:30pm, which I was advised it would be 20 minutes, however lost in my work I realised it was 11:20pm and still no food nor drink, so called to reception to be told they are just pouring my drink and everything would be with me momentarily, 11:40pm my food and drink finally arrived, accompanied with an almost €56 bill to sign. Ok I thought rather steep for a handmade Pizza Chips and 2 pints of Guiness however 5* hotel so ok is what it is. Final straw has come about to this complaint - the Chips are stone cold as clearly been left out and the food forgotten about, the Pizza actually is either a basis one from a local takeaway ( at best ) in reality tastes like a Pizza you'd find in the Frozen food isle at Lidl, barely worth €3 let alone €20+ euro's, I should have realised there was going to be issues upon check in when the girl at the desk looked down on me as I wore Jeans and a Polo Shirt, however what she fails to know or failed due to pre-judging is that I am a Managing Director of a high net worth multi million GBP company, just because I don't dress in a suit or waste money on over priced label brands, she pre-judged me on what I wore late at night after spending the whole day mentoring and training customers. I was looking to bring some friends over to this area for a golfing holiday later this summer, however based on this experience I will be looking elsewhere. From what I can tell the Hotel location and in the main looks stunning, however the quality of service / food / price of very poor quality food is absurd, the room again looks on the face of it looks nice however clearly is dated and in need of refurbishment, as dirty skirting boards poorly fitting carpet, Faulty TV as keeps wanting to update, ordinarily I would say €260 for a nights stay wouldn't be so bad, however the over charge for Substandard 2* food that was told would arrive in 20 minutes, that took over an hour, and when it arrived was cold has left a poor taste let alone the attitude of the receptionist so I will not be a returning customer and will take my money elsewhere. This is written from my Hotel room this evening 20th May 2025.
