I had a lovely week-long stay at Parknasilla with my family, enjoying the beautiful grounds and engaging activities. The accommodations were immaculate, and the pool and spa facilities were fantastic, providing a relaxing escape. However, access to Sneem was a downside due to the dangerous road with no footpaths, which made it difficult to explore the area on foot.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Parknasilla, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The hotel's atmosphere and beautiful surroundings made for a perfect getaway. The luxurious accommodations were impressive, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. However, we did face some challenges during our stay, particularly with noise levels in the dining area and some overcrowding in the pool. Overall, it's a wonderful place for families and leisure activities, but it might not be the best choice for a romantic escape.

Parknasilla offers a delightful retreat with breathtaking views and a variety of activities, perfect for families and those seeking relaxation. While the accommodations are well-kept and comfortable, the dining experience at times lacks attentiveness during busy hours. The spa and pool facilities are outstanding, providing ample opportunities for unwinding. However, the noise level in public areas can detract from a peaceful stay.
