Trump International Golf Links & Hotel

Our first stop in Ireland. We arrived, the wind was blowing 65mph, it was raining and chilly. However, from the moment we walked into our cottage villa, the comfort settled in. The coziness hit a peak though as soon as the bellhop turned on the fireplace. The villa is incredible, and the view of the Irish countryside through the recessed windows was peaceful, to say the least. Most of the time there, you feel as though you are looking at a painting. Finally, the shower pressure was the strongest we had ever felt. The food was exceptional and the dining areas in the clubhouse are beautiful. Highly recommend the calamari followed by a drink next to fireplace. In the morning, the a sweet woman arrived at our door with a wicker basket filled with a full Irish breakfast for the two of us. While we were there, we also had a chance to participate in the falconry experience on the property. Molly, the falconer was incredibly sweet and informative, and the birds (Ruby and Forrest) were beautiful. If you have a chance, this is an experience not to be skipped while on site. That same morning we also took a short trip to the Cliffs of Kilkee. They are not quite a grand as Moher, but there was nobody there. Had the place almost entirely to ourselves, which was great. Finally, what really puts this place over the top was the staff. Easy to tell that they were all kind people, but beyond that, as professionals, they were flawless. Doonbeg is not a large place and unless you are a golfer, which we are not, I am guessing it goes largely overlooked. That said, there's plenty of things to do nearby and the resort is nothing short of a 5-star experience.

5 star hotel and experience. My favorite hotel in Ireland during our 11 day stay. The stay could not have been better. Staff is amazing, restaurants are amazing, and views are amazing. Rooms very clean, comfortable, and luxurious. I will be back.

Really good experience ! The staff are superb , really welcoming and friendly in particular Odin at dinner and eamon the driver, but in fact all were a credit to the hotel. The room was really comfortable with really good beds and good showers . One slight negative would be that the food wasn’t as good as the service or standard of accommodation, desserts were not great ! We got the breakfast hamper to the lodge which is a nice touch ! All in all a great stay

This place is such a let down , overpriced and terrible. Was expecting much more but it was a huge letdown . I hesitated to recommend this place to even my worst enemy. I traveled from Dublin only to extremely dissatisfied. I cannot express enough my disappointment. The staff were ok , but just OK . Local amenities were average . I best part for me was leaving .

No fresh water in the rooms Food was fine but overpriced No hand soap in either of our two bathrooms Wireless chargers didn’t work Heating didn’t work. Moved rooms at around midnight. Pierre the manager graciously offered to upgrade us on our next stay but we won’t be back. No part of it lived up to expectations except for perhaps that the staff and resident cat were lovely. Also lovely tasteful decor.
