Great location and great spot to relax in great comfort.
Pros:

The view out to the National Park was superb. The room was beautifully spacious, well-appointed and comfortable, though, being out-of-towners we did struggle to work the heating. The casual dining was a little disappointing in terms of the quality of the food, and, on the second evening, the service was very slow. But otherwise, we felt very privileged to have been able to stay here.

Cons:

The food was a little on the ordinary side, and the service, on the second evening, in the casual dining bar-room, was very slow.

4 night stay at Aghadoe Heights Hotel
Pros:

Spectacular views from the hotel but unfortunately not a 5 star experience. Didn’t get to sample the fine dining as the area set up for this was not conducive for fine dining and we cancelled. Cooked breakfast most of the elements over cooked. Service was patchy one outstanding exception was Vittorio who served us on 2 nights. His energy, friendless and efficiently was very lmpressive.

Amazing views but not worth 5 star rating
Pros:

We spent one night here. The views are absolutely amazing and the standard room was also really lovely too! There was no atmosphere in the ‘bar’ area it was just a huge open space with no bar and all of chairs. Dinner was poor - we were initially given the incorrect menu then when ordering the fish option were told we would have to pay extra as it wasn’t included in the B&B rate. The food wasn’t piping hot and I was quite sick after it during the night. Breakfast was nice especially with the view. The thermal suites were such a let down and the pool area - really out dated. Overall I would say it was a very underrated experience especially for the price amazing views but sickness from the food and lack of atmosphere was disappointing

This luxury Killarney 5 star hotel offers so more than just picture-perfect views!
Pros:

We absolutely loved this place and the views are to die for! The location was the main reason we chose this hotel as we wanted to do the ‘Ring of Kerry’ tour. However, on arrival we realised the hotel was to a higher standard than we expected. The room was beautiful and very clean, and the bed was large and super comfortable. The staff were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We used the pool and spa facilities available and everything was spotlessly clean with everything you needed there. Would definitely recommend.

Aghadoe, the perfect Hotel to go
Pros:

The location is spectacular, overlooking the lakes and the mountains.
On arrival we were warmly greeted by the staff who were very friendly. Check in took minutes and we were given a brief tour, that covered everything.
As we moved through the lobby the decor was stunning and this continues as you discover the rest of the hotel facilities. We were switching off and relaxing before we got to our room.
When we saw our room, the size and quality of the room was amazing. The bathroom alone was huge.
Breakfast was more than adequate with a huge choice, to satisfy fussy eaters like myself.
The restaurants overlooked the mountains and lakes and the food was excellent and reasonable.
The pool added to the relaxing atmosphere.
While we were there, there was a wedding on but you could not hear any music or noise. The hotel was quiet and peaceful for our 4 day stay.
Perfection in a lovely hotel, brilliant staff in a stunning location. Superb value for money.Spotlessly clean inside and out.
Wow.
