We booked an ocean view but it was on the lower floor so we had to pay to upgrade to a top floor. It was worth it for the fabulous views the laundry facility was very useful. The setting was lovely. The food in The Lounge was good value with a lively atmosphere. Staff I. The restaurant were very friendly.

Fourth time staying here. Always a good stay. Clean and well-appointed suites with a nice ocean view. Kitchen is sufficiently setup/stocked if you want to cook your own meals. Lots to do on the grounds (good facilities) and a short walk to the beach. Beach is really lovely. Really nice gift shop on site too.

Tigh-Na-Mara is in a beautiful setting with many on-site activities for their guests from young children to teens, adults and seniors. Their rooms and cottages are extremely clean and luxuriously appointed. Rooms with ocean views are relaxing retreats with balconies that extend your living space. The property has acres of forest and beach to explore and enjoy. It is also located close to many fun destinations in the local communites. The staff is extremely friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. They are very helpful if you need help with your activities plans as well as with your needs as a guest. We really enjoyed our time at Tigh-Na-Mara!

I had such a relaxing stay at Tigh-Na-Mara! I was impressed that despite the size of the property, it remained incredibly quiet and peaceful throughout my visit. The scenery is absolutely stunning—being right there on the ocean is a total highlight. The Grotto Spa was an experience unlike any other; I’m already planning my next trip back just for that.

The rooms were clean and well stocked, the the property itself was beautiful and had a lot of amenities we enjoyed including the pool, hot tub, playground, and direct beach access.

Check-in was a breeze thanks to Tyler—our one-bedroom unit, with a kitchen that faced the water and was very comfortable. We've stayed at Tigh na Mara before, it is a beautiful hotel with cabins, pool, hot tub and workout area. The number of trees surrounding the site makes you feel like you are really in nature with the comforts of home.
