It's really hard to rate this property, I wish I could review the hotel, the spa, and the…read morerestaurant separately. I did not book the hotel, we were booked by our tour company. Twin room was pretty small with a large bathroom and entry hall. We ended up storing our luggage in the hall. The soap and shampoo dispensers were really hard to use so we were left using a small bar of soap I happened to have with me. The shower did not drain well so I had to pause halfway through my shower to allow it to catch up. There is a towel warmer but we could not find the switch to turn it on. There is an electric kettle, but it's huge and difficult to fill from the absurdly small bathroom tap. I had a seaweed bath in the spa. Very enjoyable but I had asked at booking if I should bring anything with me and was told no. So I got in the jacuzzi buck naked. Fortunately I was the only one there but when my bath was ready, the spa matron informed me I should have brought swimwear for the communal portion of the facility. I think the restaurant is their strongest element. Breakfast buffet was excellent. One could assemble a full Irish or any portion of thereof. Dinner is price fixed either 2 or 3 courses. Simpler fare can be ordered in the adjacent bar. I especially enjoyed the Chicken Supreme with apple pie and ice cream for dessert. My vegan companion enjoyed the tofu appetizer and the vegan chocolate cake with lime sorbet. The bar menu is comprehensive including a sophisticated selection of wines in any price range.

This is our first Seaweed Bath Spa experience…read more The place is right out of a 1940's / 1950's movie. Very dated, in a old tired seaside town. Yellow and Green Tile from the 1950's. However, that added to the atmosphere and experience. The advantage of this location and age is the prices are more competitive to the newer fancier Seaweed Baths. That said, the staff was very helpful, and made the process very easy. They fill the baths and set up the rooms while you are in the waiting room. The Seaweed is fresh and authentic. The baths are hot, the steam box steamy. After about a hour after the baths, I must say, my skin felt great. My head was clear, and I felt refreshed and alive. The next day, my body felt great, and I had more energy than normal. It was a great experience, that none of us would normally do. We have nothing like this in Los Angeles. If we did, or we had more opportunities in Ireland, I would definitely do a Seaweed Bath again. In fact, I would like to get some natural fresh seaweed from the Pacific and take a bath at home. Parking was limited, I ended up parking across the street on the sidewalk, where other cars were also parked. We arrived late in the day, and it was raining, which added to the unique experience.

I've had Indian Head Massage on back arms neck and head this was one of the first Treatment's I got in Kenkō Health and I've had this treatment done many times with holistic practitioners, in spas many places but Kenkō Health was by far the best I went in tense stressed and overall just tight in my body Anna's Treatment was from start to finish extremely professional starting with a hot cloth on my feet which it's only small but really it's so satisfying to amazing frankincense oil which she uses in all the treatments I've had so far it calmed my body and mind straight away and her repetition of the treatment on both arms and sides of my back were to a T she didn't miss so much as one movement when I left there I felt alive refreshed so calm and my back and shoulders where so relax that tight horrible feeling had just gone. I also have had hopi ear candle treatment which I have never had before and it was a treat!! But yesterday I decided to stop on my way home to go Charlestown where Kenkō Health is based in the heart of the town and got a full body massage the energy of the place as you go in is so inviting, the treatment room is beautiful with a heated treatment table loads of towels so you won't get cold, beautiful relaxing music in the background and as Anna does the treatment you feel completely at ease. Anna at Kenkō Health does a multitude of treatments which you can see in her brochure and all her certifications are on the wall for you to see She is very experienced at what she does and knowledgeable. I would give this charming and relaxing place five stars and say if your looking for something to treat yourself too that Kenkō Health is the place to go or pick up a voucher for someone and if you are traveling from to the west stop of at Kenkō Health in Charlestown you won't regret it I promise.

We headed down to County Mayo to spend Friday-Sunday at Breaffy House Resort, which is situated…read morejust outside Castlebar in 90 acres of woodland. It was dark when we arrived but we could tell the hotel was an stunning and impressive old building. We checked in to our standard double room which we felt was very spacious with a good-sized bed (King perhaps?) The long drive meant we didn't explore the hotel that evening but it was up early the next morning to head down for breakfast. The dining area was separated into two buffets- one 'cold food' section with breads, hams, cheeses, cereals and pasties, and one hot 'food section' with typical fry items such as eggs, sausages, bacon and beans. I had a fry and, because I was on my holidays, treated myself to a sweet pastry to finish. (As if I needed an excuse!) It was then time to explore the grounds and to walk off the big breakfast. Barry and I headed off towards the "forest walk" trail. It was a dry but cold morning so we spent about 1 hour walking around the parkland. As part of the deal, we were welcome to a complimentary spa treatment each in the hotel's "Breaffy Spa". Barry wasn't keen on receiving one so I was lucky to have both. We could pick from three different treatments and I selected the 30 minutes Dry Float (normally €30) and the 20 minute Hydro Bath (again, costing €30). The Dry float felt like I was on a warm cosy water bed, while the Hydro Bath was a specialised bath with over 200 jets messaging from shoulders to toe. After I had both spa treatments, I joined Barry in the hotel's lesuire facilties which included a 20 metre indoor swimming pool, gym, sauna, jacuzzi and steam room. Bliss! (An really enjoyable afternoon!) We then headed back to the room to get ready to go down to the restaurant for dinner. Again, as part of the package, we were able to avail of main course each. I selected the Roast Irish beef served with potatoes and vegetables, while Barry chose the spinach and ricotta ravioli. We decided not to have a dessert (as to be honest, we thought the mains were just ok) and instead went to check out the hotel's Healy Mac bar where we had a few pints of Healy Mac's own beer. The bar has a good atmosphere so we stayed for a few hours. We enjoyed our stay at Breaffy House, particularly the pool & spa but were slightly disappointed with dinner! A nice weekend though!

The beauticians are really and friendly and know me well from going so often. The service is great and treatments are done very well. I had my hair cut once and the stylists are not the best, but if your going for a simple trim or colour, then it should be no problem. However, they don't seem to do "fashion colour" or all those really high fashion kind of hair styles, just simple cuts, upstyles and colour. They also do Shellac nails (but not gel extensions or acrylics), manicures/ pedicures, bare minerals make up, spray tan and massages. The Dermalogica facials are only 65 euro (Most other places seem to charge 75-80) which I find is a good deal. The prices are very reasonable, lower than most salons, and the staff are very friendly.

You get a nice bathrobe and slippers and the staff are very professional yet friendly. The facials here are much better than regular beauty salons and the products they use smell gorgeous.

The atmosphere is so relaxing with nice relaxation chairs, dim lights, cushions, magazines and self service tea. I would highly recommend this spa for a massage or bath treatment as the quality is very high and the service is excellent.
