Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Parknasilla Resort & Spa boasts amazing views and a coastal location perfect for exploring woodland trails. Guests frequently enjoy the heated infinity pool, and many appreciate the convenience of sea trips for seal and dolphin watching. The Doolittle Restaurant is a popular choice, with tasty and well-priced meals often accompanied by live music; however, some guests have found the lack of air conditioning to be an issue. Spacious rooms with garden views are a highlight for many, and the walking trails, including the 'mission impossible' trail, offer outdoor adventures.

Underwhelming Stay

outdoor trailsfeeble water pressuredismal shower
The outdoor trails were acceptable , with some nice scenery to observe.
The room had a dismal shower. I could barely get the water to trickle out , let alone wash my hair properly. The feeble water pressure, and I expect more from a hotel that charges these rates.

Wonderful experience

great viewwalking trailsleaking shower
The location was fabulous with walking trails. The room was spacious, including a separate area for the kids and a great view. We enjoyed the 'mission impossible' trail. It was very entertaining. I would have loved to stay longer since there was more to do.
The bathroom needed some attention. The extractor fan did not work, so the room was damp after showering. The shower screen leaked water. It had been leaking for some time, not great.

Wonderful Retreat

amazing viewsheated poolunavailable conditioner
This hotel has the most amazing views I have ever seen. The adults outdoor heated pool offered such relaxation as I overlooked the bay. I loved the food in the Doolittle bar. The tasty meals were well priced. A live pianist created a great atmosphere.
I felt disheartened when there was no conditioner available. The shampoo and conditioner combination made my hair greasy and tangled. Such a small detail had an unfortunate impact.
