We stayed at Port Marnock Hotel and took a walk on the beautiful beach below hotel. It is very level and goes for miles. Views of the off shore islands and rainbows abound.

The best! Best coffee, croissants (ham & cheese 🤤) & toasties. Lovely space amongst the trees, free parking next door, lovely friendly young staff and complimentary treats for dogs. 10/10

Reception stall very friendly. Room was clean but furniture very dated. Tiny wash hand basin in bathroom. Had breakfast both mornings and it was freshly cooked and well presented

The beach was so clean. The weather was perfect, we actually went into the water. I loved that everyone brought their dogs.

Not worth a visit, extremely bad service! Take your money somewhere else as many place would be able to accommodate you much better!
Worst service by a manager of the Jameson bar called Leo, he is a jokes which makes the whole establishment similar to a motel.
No customer service what so ever..
Would never recommend this place to everyone - please avoid!

I arrived on the beach shortly before sunrise, that is at 5.30 in the morning. A clear day was announced, but still cold at that time. I was afraid I would be alone on the beach, but surprise: at least 50 people of all ages were already swimming. I have no words to describe the joy when the sun appeared on the horizon!

It's a nice sandy beach with some areas of shingle, lovely lapping water and seems to gradually get deeper rather than a steep drop off shortly into the water.
Looks clean and tidy. Nice for a walk, swim or running along the compact sand

Absolutely stunning beach. My young daughter said "it's like the beach was hoovered" not a stone. Honestly one of the best beaches I've visted. Only in Ireland u'd see a horse swimming.
