My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While the staff showed exceptional service, and I enjoyed some lovely features during my visit, there were a few significant downsides that impacted my overall experience. The room didn't feel up to par, and the dining options left much to be desired. However, the great location near the National Park was a definite highlight.

I had a nice, albeit short, stay in the hotel. The cleanliness and safety measures provided me with peace of mind. However, the dining and certain aspects of the experience didn't quite meet the 5-star expectations. It was a good getaway, but there's room for improvement.

My stay at Muckross Park Hotel was overall enjoyable with a luxurious focus. The dining experiences were truly exquisite and the staff went above and beyond in their service. However, my room had some electrical issues and felt dated despite the comfortable layout, and the spa experience was somewhat hindered by ongoing maintenance. Overall, it was refreshing but there are areas needing attention.
