For a five star hotel, the Carton House was a real disappointment…read more The outside and grounds are impressive, to be sure. Two full golf courses tells you who the target audience is. This is a conference center/golfing destination that is geared toward larger groups. I was supposed to share a room with a friend, and we were told there was a water issue so we were upgraded to each have a room. Awesome, right?The room was a nice size, and the bed was very comfortable. But the air conditioning wasn't working in either -- or in the hallway. When we told reception about this, we were told, "Maybe you're not used to the air conditioning in Ireland -- it's not as strong as in the States." We'd already been in Ireland for two weeks, and in every other hotel that had air conditioning, the AC worked perfectly. They said they'd send someone up to look at it; when we returned from dinner, nothing had been done and there was a small fan in the room that did nothing. I tried opening the window but had to close it quickly because it was so buggy. The next day, I called someone else at the front desk, and they said, "Yes, yes, we know about this, we will look into it." The staff feel like they're made up of people who are there to be trained; a real mish-mash of folks who didn't seem to particularly enjoy their work. Unlike every other hotel we stayed in throughout Ireland, where people told us proudly how long they'd worked in a particular place, stories about the area, and just about themselves, the people working at Carton House barely made eye contact (with a few exceptions). Understaffed bar and restaurant.

I could play Portmarnock 300 more times and never see such great weather. You could say I got lucky…read moretoday because it was 60 degrees and never rained. Wind never even really picked up either. Perfect scoring conditions. The staff is super friendly and the restaurant upstairs is first class. The nines are all wonderful. The yellow nine (not part of the Championship Course) is fun. Shorter than the red and blue but still challenging with fescue and gorse lying in wait for offline shots. The signature 15th hole is so difficult even without wind. Beautiful, challenging, and fun. €193 gets you all 27 holes, €10 meal credit, and a yardage book. 10/10, would go broke here again. P.S. I shot a 77!

There are two golf links courses in Portmarnock. This is the older one (1894). Some bigger…read moretournaments have been played here including the Irish open. The course is beautiful to be sure- rolling hills and wetlands tied to the backdrop of palms and the sea- its really pretty remarkable. If you are not familiar with these types of courses (I was not) its easy to be fooled by the beauty because the course was tough-really tough! We had a caddy (no carts allowed) who shared a lot of great local history and stories of some of the pros that have played the course. Besides posting a score that most MLB pitchers fastballs can't reach, this was a great morning. The people were nice, the setting was amazing and the course was challenging. You get a lunch with your greens fees. For me it was a once in a lifetime type of course but walking the fairways, looking at the sea, and having a good laugh made this a very memorable course and experience.

Afternoon tea had great scones but the desserts were more pretty than tasty. They mostly serve English Breakfast in tea bags so I wouldn't come here for actual tea quality. Great bang for your buck though. Dinner was nice and very fast if you eat at 6pm. Interior design was very nice with the big open windows. Rooms were comfortable but no AC so crack open your windows.

Then we ordered room service and the manager literally took the food away from us in the bar because food wasn't allowed (why? who knows?). He actually snatched the plate of food off the table. wtf. Aside from being a huge asshole for no reason the manager was a completely ridiculous person.
