Reading many of the reviews already entered, there is not much that can be argued against. The hotel is dated, the decor needs refreshing, and the availability of food at times during the day can be "hit and miss". Having said all that, as a family group of 3 generations, with children ranging from early 20's to 6, the location... more

Just back from Clonea Strand Hotel after spending one of the the most relaxing and enjoyable weekends we have had in a long time. We were bowled over by the helpfullness and friendliness of the staff who could'nt dop enough for us. The facilities wer amazing! Kids had a ball in the pool and play loft which gave us a... more

Visited the Gold Coast for food one night. Having been ignored for some minutes while waiting at the bar to order, I eventually got a girl to take my order. However, midway through taking my order she walked off, without a word to me, to provide a "change service" to what I can only assume was one of the regular... more

I stayed at the Gold Coast hotel with my husband and 3year old for one night. In general, the decor was shabby and dated and the hotel generally had an air of being badly maintained. The ceiling in our bathroom was peeling and mouldy and peeling paint seemed to be a feature of many of the corridors. The carpets were... more

We had great weekend. The food makes the hotel well worth visiting. We got the best of food when we visited. Everyone enjoyed their stay with many making the most of the beach and the hotel facilities. The staff couldnt have been more helpful and effective at their jobs. This made the service fantastic from start to finish. We would... more

Take my advice and avoid staying at Clonea Strand Hotel. The accommodation is by no means worth the money that is charged for it. The entire hotel is generally grotty. It may have received three stars from Bord Failte but to my mind it gives Irish Tourism a bad name. more

I checked into this hotel for one night and was glad not to be staying longer. The hotel is very dated and quite run down. The leisure activities it advertises are not really worth checking out. The pool is very old and the gym is a shocker! The staff were OK, nothing special though. I had dinner and breakfast here... more

I have to say that this was one of the best holidays I have had with all the kids. This was one of the most child friendly hotels that I have been in. Situated right by the long supervised Clonea Strand Beach, at the end of a cul-de-sac, the hotel was perfect for a family like ours that loves the... more

We visited this hotel for a weekend break with our two young children. On arrival our first impressions were of very dated 1980's decor, fake plastic ivy trailing down from the ceilings in the lobby, all of the woodwork consisted of varnished plywood. After checking in we proceeded to the elevator which had buttons missing from the control panel and... more
