Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Jurassic Park and amenities very good and the dinosaur show we watched for free was excellent. The kids loved the Bouncy Castle also. Animals and playground lovely. The dinosaurs on exhibition were fantastic! Hotel location is good, very short drive from town and ample parking. Food in The Terrace and Scott's was good but very expensive for drinks. We were disappointed that we couldn't be accommodated for something as simple as a bowl of cereal for our child with sensory issues in The Terrace. We were rudely refused and also refused toast. (Which we were more than ready to pay whatever price for!) The hotel room and lack of cleaning was our main concern. On arrival, we had to wait until half 4 for check in which is ridiculously late. Room upon arrival was stuffy, muggy, hot

I just had a great stay at the Newpark Hotel! Even from the check-in, the customer service was outstanding. A lot of the staff seem very young but are all very well trained, Luke did the sign in with us and he was so helpful! We did have to prebook our swim times and evening meal but even this was easy to do online. The kids absolutely loved the Jurassic park and went on the big bounce multiple times also! The rooms were clean and well set up too.

Just returned from a 2 night stay with my husband and 2 kids. We purchased a 2 night stay b&b with 1 dinner costing a whopping 880euro. The dinner for the kids we were informed when we arrived is served in the kids club which was pretty useless to us as our kids wanted to eat with us so we didn't use that meaning we had to pay an extra 30 euro for their dinner on what should have been our "free" included dinner A few things put a downer on the stay for us unfortunately. We arrived only an hour early after a long tiresome journey and room wasnt ready. You had to prebook everything ,( dinner,breakfast,pool, jurassic bounce) we prefer to go with the flow on holidays especially with young kids and felt tied to times for nearly everything which kind of took the relaxation out of it.

I recently stayed here for a family wedding - the hotel was absolutely amazing. The staff at this hotel in particular are unlike any other, they are so friendly and attentive - no problem is too big. I have to give a particular shout-out to the night porter Kieran. I found myself in a peculiar situation regarding my room the night of my stay. He was so kind and helpful, and went above and beyond to help me with my problem- I cannot thank him enough. I would highly recommend this hotel to couples, families or groups of friends, it won't disappoint!

We had our wedding there in August 2023. Working with Sinéad in the lead up was stress free and super enjoyable. She is great to deal with and nothing was too much for her to deal with. ‘That’s no problem.’ Was her most used phrase. The meal, the setup, the ballroom, the drinks reception, dealing with our outside vendors …. All amazing. Guests raved about the food and the drinks reception was generous. Guests were happy and well fed. Aga was an absolute star during the meal and throughout the day. She made us feel so relaxed and was super organised which we loved. The hotel honestly couldn’t do enough for us and we are so happy we choose them for our reception. We also decided to have our day 2 there with the bbq. Relaxed and picture perfect. We had a great day. 100%

What an amazing trip right from the very start. The girl at the front desk , i think her name was Hannah, was so helpful and so good with the kids, and the rest of the holiday was no different. The hotel is perfect for kids my two young lads absolutelty loved the kids club and the staff up there were so nice and accommodating and they had a ball playing down at the jurrassic park . I think their highlight of the stay was seeing all the dinosaurs and the ranger was so great with the kids. The hotel is not just for little kids though as my eldest and I had the most relaxing day in the spa while the younger lads were being looked after at the kids club. The food was also amazing i had the nicest Lamb Shank and the hubby devoured his Steak and the guys taking our orders were so

We had our wedding here last Saturday. We cannot recommend this hotel enough for a wedding, night away, couples, spa day, family break. it is THE BEST hotel we have ever stayed in. from the very first day we visited the newpark as a potential wedding venue we were blown away. the staff have been outstanding each every time we have set foot inside the hotel. Sinead, who was our main contact in relation to the wedding was always very quick to answer any questions we had and we always felt well taken care of. Aga was the main woman on the day of our wedding and without her it would not have gone as smoothly as it did. Dimitri was also amazing, i couldnt believe it when he approached me at 3am still offering to do anything he could for us, i was amazed. Cian was our main server at

My twin sons have additional needs and love Dinosaurs so this hotel is an ideal break away for us. We have unlimited access to the park and they also enjoy the swimming pool. The family room we stayed in was lovely and spacious and all the staff were very helpful and made us feel very welcome.
