Holiday World Resort is often praised for its spacious rooms and the fun provided by its entertainment team. Many guests appreciate the variety of food choices, though some have found the temperature of the buffet could be improved, with microwaves available for reheating. The water park is a highlight for many families, along with the pools, which offer a sea view and exciting tyre slides, plus an underground cave.

Mixed feelings about this hotel

visible stainingpoor entertainment
Honestly, there were a few things that REALLY bothered me. First, the room needed an update. There was visible staining on the floors and balcony. It was not nice. the entertainment was quite poor. During the day, the staff asked us to guess their age for a prize. It was quite lame.

cold fooduncovered foodexpensive depositpoor location
The hot food was often cold. flies were all over the bread in the dining area. Nothing was covered. i had to pay a seventy-five euros deposit just for the wrist band which is not something i'm used to. the location is not great since it is between two towns and there is nothing much to do outside the hotel.

the staff were very polite (i found them very helpful). the hotel maintained a high standard of cleanliness. rooms and public areas were always tidy.
