Trump International Golf Links & Hotel

We stayed here early April, and it was an amazing experience. Our room was in the courtyard by the main front entrance, and it was jaw-dropping. Open plan sitting room and bedroom area led to a huge bedroom that had en exit out onto the beach. Another luxurious bedroom was also locked up the stairs which has spectacular views from the balcony. Delighted to see Samsung TVs in various rooms! Hopefully,someday, Samsung smart appliances will also go into the kitchen as well!

Stayed and played a round of golf at the golf links and hotel in Doonbeg. Overall the experience was well below what one would expect from an alleged 5 star facility. Firstly the golf course. While the course per say is a nice links course and well laid out the greens are so poor and simply rock bottom in terms of standards. The ball hops and bobbles all over the place. Really poor maintenance and serious lack of investment in the course upkeep. Countless courses in the west of Ireland far superior and a lot cheaper. As for the hotel, I had the breakfast lunch and dinner while there and none of it was pleasurable or memorable. All bland and what you would get and expect of typical pub grub. No buffet breakfast on offer. In summary very over priced and under whelming. Spend your money and time elsewhere. The whole place is tired and lacks serious investment and upkeep.

This is a beautiful resort with timeless elegance, breathtaking views, exceptional dining, and impeccable service. Visitors to the area should stop for a drink or a meal, even if not playing golf or staying on site. Trump Doonbeg captures the warmth and beauty of west Clare. We will be sure to return!

Absolute zero value for money. A totally distasteful environment. Its veneer of grandeur is overshadowed by tacky decor, nasty wallpaper, frills and finishing touches that belong in Target. An uncomfortable bed, lumpy mattress and cheap pillows from China. It’s almost like an individual with no taste, decorum or style vomited over some great architecture.

We had a wonderful one night stay. We booked a suite and were upgraded to an ocean view suite on arrival. The check in was smooth. Staff were amazing and really helpful. The suite was absolutely gorgeous and such a treat. All areas of the hotel were relaxing and luxurious. We had some lovely drinks in the bar looking out at the gorgeous views of the sea. My husband was very impressed with the standard of the Guinness served. We had dinner in the bar and restaurant which is a separate building but still very close by. Once again, excellent service but honestly we both found the food underwhelming. My meal was very bland and my husband wasn’t overly impressed either. It was just ok. Breakfast the next morning was phenomenal. Fresh, flavoursome and loads of choice. One of the nicest hotel breakfasts we have had. We ended our stay with a lovely refreshing walk on the beach attached to the hotel. Overall I would highly recommend a stay here. It is expensive but for a special occasion it is totally worth it
