The Dining Room with its stylish Champagne Bar, acclaimed menu and service is classical in every sense of the word.
Totally dedicated to resident guests this Kerry hotel has no meeting or banqueting facilities to distract the young and professional staff away from caring for residents.
After a heavenly day touring the coastal roads, playing some of the world's best golf courses or surrendering to the holistic pleasures of SÁMAS, the hotels Deluxe Destination Spa, evenings can be spent watching the legends of the silver screen in The Reel Room, a 12-seat cinema showing some of the great classics nightly.
From its conception SÁMAS was designed to soothe and revive the tension, stress and fatigue that fill our every day.
