We had a wonderful stay in Muckross Park hotel and Spa for our mini honeymoon. The staff were wonderful with special mention for Shah and Patrick who were brilliant at keeping us right in planning our time in Kerry. Breakfast was superb, we had a great wonderful break.

From the time I arrived on the property till the time I left I was beyond impressed with the staff as well as the resort I asked about the jaunting ride they informed me of the price and asked if they could make the reservation for me. The driver of the jaunting car arrived on time and picked me up at the hotel. The entire staff went above and beyond and were very accommodating. I love the spa area for a swim and the outdoor jacuzzi was so nice I would definitely return again. Also the area is beautiful. Loved the morning breakfast daily Well done everyone

We had a fantastic stay with Muckross! This visit was particularly special for us on our 1st wedding anniversary having got married at the hotel last year. We were well looked after throughout our stay, everyone seemed to know it was our anniversary and we were congratulated in every interaction. The hotel even surprised us with a room upgrade which was a really nice touch. This hotel and its staff are exceptional and made our wedding anniversary extra special. Special thanks to Chris for the warmest of welcomes. We’ll be back soon.

Words cannot describe the incredible experience we had on our wedding day at Muckross Park Hotel. From seeing it in January to booking the venue, to the wedding day in September, it was flawless. Niall is the best of the best in everything wedding planning, he answered all my questions on email I had about the venue, arrangements, timings and he even gave us the local knowledge on where is best to go and look at getting wedding photos. Niall really is one of the greatest wedding organisers who just excels at his job in every way. Nothing was a bother and he remained calm, professional, focused with great humour and was the perfect man for the job. The bridesmaids and myself had an amazing breakfast sent up while we got ready and the suite we were in was truly stunning, it even had a little balcony for the Child of Prague to do his job! Which he did excellently! ;) The wedding team at Muckross do everything! We decided on The Atrium for our reception and then the Abbey Suite which was perfect for our 130 guests. It was set up perfectly with fresh flowers, candles and they even allowed us to add our own little details to make it more personal for our guests and it was exactly how I imagined it would look. They had the red carpet rolled out for our arrival and Prosecco for our guests before dinner. They even allowed my dog to be downstairs in the atrium to mingle and be part of the day! The food is like none other. Our guests were blown away by the food and as my husband's family are all American they could not get over how good the Guinness tasted! (Of course!) The two Chris’ who ran the wedding itself were incredible start to finish and I know it is a long difficult job! They were professional, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Joanne - who ran our food was so sweet, caring and fun - doing the simplest of jobs of putting a napkin over my dress as I forgot in all the excitement. What a woman! And Dan at Collgan's the night before made sure guests were looked after and he had great humour throughout. The hotel itself is impeccable and ran by wonderful people who keep a great atmosphere. The hotel rooms are well equipped, super clean and the honeymoon suite is beautiful. The staff went out of their way to make us feel special and I will never take that for granted. Muckross has the biggest place in our hearts and my family and friends who I know will return. Thank you for the most beautiful weekend. We loved every second. It was magical. Maeve and Jon x

My wife and I just returned from a 4-night stay at Muckross Park Hotel & Cloister Spa. This 5-star hotel lived up to its rating in every regard. The suite we stayed in was just beautiful and with the extra sitting area above the entrance, my wife commented that she felt like a princess. The Cloister Spa was exceptional and we enjoyed the service there on several days. All of the international staff - from the doormen, front desk to wait staff - were pleasant and helpful to any issue. We ate dinner at Blue Pool and Molly Darcys pub - 2 of 3 on-site resturants. The staff at the was especially helpful with the wine selection as we celebrated our anniversary one evening. The food was absolutely delicious at both places. The hotel is right across the street from walking paths, jaunting carts, and the Muckross House in Killarney National Park. All in all, we absolutely recommend this hotel and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
