Amber Springs Hotel (Gorey, Ireland)

With a large and diverse menu of beauty and health treatments offered at Amber Springs Hotel and Health Spa, it's hard to choose just one. You'll feel thoroughly pampered when you take a dip in the indoor pool and use the sauna and Jacuzzi post treatment and then saunter back to your room for a much deserved catnap.

When travelling with your family, it's important to choose a hotel that can accommodate your entire clan, and this one is a great choice. The spacious rooms can accommodate everyone and the options for your children's entertainment like a game room, petting zoo, go karts and indoor play area will keep them happy for hours. Then, you can take advantage of the babysitting services offered here and take the night off.

It's great that this hotel does not allow smoking on property. This is good news for those who don't imbibe and can't stand the acrid smell of stale, second-hand smoke.

You may have to wait to be seated and then again for a server to take your order as the service in the restaurants is a bit slow, which can be a bit frustrating.

Sometimes the housekeeping staff at Amber Springs Hotel and Health Spa is thorough and sometimes it really missed the mark. Carpets that need a good cleaning, unattended waste bins and dust in places long-neglected are the worst offenders.

Sometimes the food here is not what it should be, especially when it comes to the temperatures of the dishes. Often, they come to your table cold and lacking in the flavour you'd hoped for.
