Been waiting a long time to see the renovations to the spa at Park Kenmare...and it was worth the wait. Loved the spa under the Brennans leadership...and the new owners have surpassed my expectations. Starting at check-in, the serene tones greet you as well as key staff. Met Katy at the Landscape Spa who exudes health and fitness! May even get me to try a yoga class. Before my massage I indulged myself with the renovated lap pool...we think filled with the tears from maidens! So lovely and a great way to do your laps undisturbed! While there is a stunning sauna by the pool, I chose to explore the stone bath (hot) and cold plunge pools. Finally, booked the Full Renewal Ritual (exfoliating and massage) with the amazing Maria. This therapist is professional, respectful, and provided one of the best massage I have had since moving to Ireland. I will be returning soon! Thank you to the Meehans for giving me a 5 star spa experience right in my area.

Great Hotel. Really really wished for a more thorough starting tour. Could have made use of the hot tub and cold plunge had I been aware of their existence.

Stayed here 9 years ago and the Hotel has not lost a beat since then except the food and service is even more exceptional. The food is locally sourced and prepared to perfection—the best we’ve had in all of Ireland. The new Spa just opened two weeks ago and the facility is first-class. My wife and I each got a 60-minute massage. Also, visited the ancient Stones of Kenmare near the town center, and left a wish on the Hawthorne Fairy Tree. Hotel was expensive but a good value. Highly recommend it.

The hotel is right off the Main Street of Kenmare so everything is very accessible. The trails around the lake are beautiful. The bar area is fantastic and we had a lovely and delicious dinner at the hotel. The staff is wonderful! The new spa area is great as well.

I wasnt going to leave a review as it is not in my nature to complain, but the explicit email from the hotel instructing me to only leave a good review on trip adviser has really wound me up. The hotel is just average but expensive. We stayed 4 nights arriving late due to a delayed flight. The room we stayed in the first night was awful. Dark, narrow with the lift next door. We asked to change the next day and they made out they were doing an enormous favour to move us. If they hadnt we would have left. The second room was fine but weird as there was no mirror so had to dry my hair in the bathroom. Bit of a hazard. Very limited restaurant options. Wanted to order bar food at 6.30 and told we had to wait until 8.00pm. Not really what I would call 5 star.
