The Europe Hotel & Resort

We went to The Europe to celebrate my birthday and honestly, this place is heaven on earth. ❤️ We’re local to the area, so we often pop in for lunch or dinner, but staying here was extra special. From the moment we checked in, the staff were so warm and friendly, helping with our bags, having a chat and making sure we were all okay. We had such a lovely surprise waiting for us in our room, which really added to an already amazing stay. We had dinner in Riva, which was beautiful in its simplicity — pasta, pizza, wine and beer, and we were sorted! 😂 The staff were once again 10/10. The next morning we had breakfast and the view is honestly something to be treasured. Absolutely amazing, and that’s before you even get to the delicious breakfast, pastries, tea and coffee. ❤️ Before heading to the pool, we were chatting with Maria in the spa. She is an absolute gem — so knowledgeable and professional, but with such warmth, wit and genuine kindness. She is a real credit to the hotel and her care and attention added so much to our stay. Everything from the moment we walked through the doors was hard to explain. You really have to experience it yourself. The level of detail is perfection — the staff, service and efficiency are all second to none. And to top it all off, the breakfast staff the next morning had wished me a happy birthday, even though I hadn’t mentioned it to them! They had simply seen it in the notes on my booking. Such a lovely little touch and such a special way to start my birthday. The Europe made it a birthday I’ll remember for a very long time. We’re so lucky to have this place on our doorstep. ❤️

This hotel charms you from the minute you arrive. The staff is enchanting and helpful. The grounds are impeccable and the rooms are amazing. We enjoyed dinner in the Bistro and it was perfect. The breakfast in the morning is one of the best I’ve had. If I do Ireland again I would stay here and just do day trips to see the sights. One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in.

Had a lovely time at the Riva Restaurant. The food was good but the service we received from Ira, a lovely waitress, made the experience so much more memorable. Thank you Ira.

I stayed at this hotel with my family in August, and it was wonderful. We had a lakeview room with an amazing view. The room was very well appointed and had a 110-voltage plug, too. The bathrooms were great, and I loved the ESPA products. Breakfast had many options available, as well as a buffet, and the view to start the day was incredible. We had dinner at Riva and Panorama, and both were very good and not rushed. Definitely take your bathing suit because the pool overlooks the lake and is indoor and outdoor. The spa is very popular and offers a variety of services. The gardens leading down to the lake were very well kept, and we enjoyed walking around each day (we were very lucky and had great weather). The horse stables are onsite, and complimentary horseback riding is available. The staff and concierge team (they had 3 Les Clef d'Or onsite...which is very impressive) at the hotel were beyond helpful. They assisted with touring to Dingle, a carriage ride into Killarney National Park, dinner reservations in Killarney and helped with golf arrangements. As a travel advisor, I will definitely be sending clients to this property, and I cannot wait to return for my personal travels.

From the moment you step inside you can tell this is a special place. From the breathtaking views, the amazing breakfast to the incredibly attentive staff. We truly enjoyed our first stay at this beautiful property and look forward to making this a family tradition.
