Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Doonbeg Ireland

The hotel located in the middle of nowhere,but it’s still doing a good service and nice spot to stay..they also prepare a dessert platter for birthday,it’s awesome

Beautful facility, wonderful staff and the best breakfasts of our entire Ireland trip. We absolutely loved our stay here even though we are not golfers. The common rooms and bedrooms are luxurious and views of the sea from the restaurant are wonderful. We enjoyed strolling on the beach each morning after breakfast. The staff recommended a great local restaurant for the night we did not eat here. It is also a short drive to the Kilkee Cliffs where we had it all to ourselves. A gem in every way.

Gracious hospitality, outstanding breakfast, wonderful setting, excellent golf course. It was hard to imagine how wonderful a facility Doonbeg was and is until we moved to another facility in Dublin.

Unlike most guests, who were avid golfers, we did not play golf during our stay. Instead, we spent a full week using the resort as our base while exploring the breathtaking west coast of Ireland. LOCATION – The property enjoys a truly stunning setting, positioned approximately halfway between the Cliffs of Moher and Loop Head Lighthouse. The nearby beach is exquisite — long, serene, and ideal for leisurely walks. The resort’s peaceful seclusion adds to its charm, though it is some distance from shops or restaurants, something worth noting when planning your visit. ROOMS – The cottages are situated about an 8–10 minute walk from the main building, where the restaurants are located. We were fortunate to stay in a suite within the main house, which was spacious, elegant, and exceptionally comfortable, complete with a small kitchenette. The room was immaculate — I’m meticulous about cleanliness and was impressed to find every corner spotless. The décor featured beautiful, classic furnishings that exuded character and warmth, in contrast to the minimalist modern style often found elsewhere. The bed was luxuriously comfortable, dressed with fine linens. Our only challenge was temperature control: the rooms are well heated, and the heavy duvet became a bit too warm at night. Opening the bathroom window helped but invited a few insects in. Housekeeping kindly provided lighter blankets after a couple of nights, which resolved the issue perfectly. The shower was powerful and modern — a delightful touch. SERVICE – From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. We had the pleasure of meeting Charlie, Trudy, Clíodhna (forgive me if I’ve misspelled her name), and Nicole at breakfast — each one warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Their professionalism, combined with a natural Irish charm, elevated our experience and made our stay truly memorable. DINING – During our visit, which fell in the low season, only one restaurant was open. The menu was limited but offered well-prepared dishes made with fresh, quality ingredients. As most guests appeared to be golfers staying only a night or two, the selection suited them perfectly. However, for those staying longer, as we did, it’s something to keep in mind. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay. The setting, the comfort, and above all, the gracious hospitality made for an unforgettable experience. We would happily return — perhaps next time for a slightly shorter visit — and would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking tranquility, beauty, and genuine Irish warmth.

We stayed here early April, and it was an amazing experience. Our room was in the courtyard by the main front entrance, and it was jaw-dropping. Open plan sitting room and bedroom area led to a huge bedroom that had en exit out onto the beach. Another luxurious bedroom was also locked up the stairs which has spectacular views from the balcony. Delighted to see Samsung TVs in various rooms! Hopefully,someday, Samsung smart appliances will also go into the kitchen as well!
