Reviews for Fota Island Resort
A Blissful Return for a 50th Birthday Escape
We returned to this hotel for a special 50th birthday pampering weekend, having first visited 12 years ago—and it absolutely did not disappoint. This isn’t a flashy Instagram hotel; it’s a serene haven of pure peace and quiet luxury. From the moment you walk in, everything feels effortlessly perfect—from the calming scent in the foyer to the heavenly beds (seriously, the beds!), to the beautiful bathrooms and high-quality toiletries. Every detail whispers indulgence. Dining at the Amber restaurant was a standout highlight. The food and service were nothing short of exceptional. The chocolate silk cake with ice cream? Absolute perfection. Breakfast was an experience in itself—worthy of high praise, especially the poached eggs, avocado, toast, butter, and the divine pastéis de nata. A special shout-out to the housekeeping team, who operated with ninja-like precision: silent, efficient, and incredibly professional. Every staff member, from reception to the restaurant and lounge, made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. Before we left, I treated myself to a spa session—and I haven’t felt that relaxed in years. We’re already counting down the days until we can return. This place is a true sanctuary.

Warm welcome, Great food and a fabulous facility
We booked Fota Island Resort as a last minute getaway and for our first time going we were delighted we chose Fota Island Resort. Friendly staff, great facilities and great food made our stay. We were looking to get away from the Hussle and Bustle of the city and Fota Island Resort was the perfect choice for us.
