Relaxing Spa Day

I recently enjoyed a wonderful spa day at the Grotto Spa, where I indulged in the mineral pool and a soothing full-body massage. The experience was truly rejuvenating, especially with the amazing tapas provided. The ambiance was perfect for unwinding after a long week. I was thrilled to spend over 5 hours in relaxation! Can't wait to go back for another day of pampering.

Gourmet Dinner Experience

Dining at Cedars was an absolute delight during my stay. The endless tapas we ordered were a great choice, and the flavorful dishes paired wonderfully with the beautiful views. The staff was attentive, and every dish was presented beautifully. I recommend trying the seafood chowder; it was delicious! Overall, it made for a lovely evening.

Cozy Cabin Retreat

I rented a cozy cabin during my stay, and I found it to be well-equipped with a kitchenette and a comfortable bed. Firewood was provided, which allowed for lovely evenings by the fire. The cabins felt private and were just a short walk from the beach, making it easy to enjoy the scenery. The overall experience was peaceful and rejuvenating.

Convenient Parking

The guest parking at Tigh-Na-Mara was super convenient. I appreciated how easily accessible it was to the cabins and main facilities. I didn't have to walk far with my luggage upon arrival, which made my stay start off on the right foot. Plus, it felt safe and secure during my visit.

Tigh-Na-Mara Resort is a lovely place for relaxation, featuring a beautiful spa and cozy cottages that evoke a rustic charm. The Sunday brunch buffet is a highlight, especially with its emphasis on local seafood. However, I had a frustrating experience with the wedding coordination, which left much to be desired, affecting the overall enjoyment of my stay.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort, with a cozy and clean spa bungalow that made my experience truly relaxing.

I had an unforgettable experience celebrating my mother's 92nd birthday at this beautiful resort. The cabins were tranquil and perfect for our group, while the condos offered breathtaking views, albeit with more noise. The service was absolutely superior, especially with the thoughtful golf cart rides for my mother. However, one guest did mention a disappointing experience due to the overall condition of the woodland cabins, which could certainly benefit from some upgrades.

The resort offers a fabulous spa experience and stunning views, making it enjoyable for relaxation. However, the overall resort is somewhat dated and could use significant updates. While the service at the spa is top-notch, it seems to fall short in other areas, especially during check-in. We found some dining choices to be unexpectedly pricey, which made us question the overall value for money.

Tigh-Na-Mara offers a rustic and pet-friendly experience that I found enjoyable, especially with the close proximity to the beach and numerous walking trails. The amenities like the pool, gym, and hot tub served us well, and the on-site restaurant delivered a good dining experience. However, I felt the overall spa facilities and some rooms needed an update to match the expectations of a luxury retreat.
