Bannisters by the Sea Mollymook

Really disappointing stay at Bannisters by the Sea. It was tired, worn around the edges and dated. The building looked like a ‘70s motel. Take a plug with you for you phone as no usb sockets!! The pool was absolutely stunning and very clean. The staff were very friendly although there seemed to be a lack of anyone in overall charge. The bedsheets were ok but the duvet and pillows were not great quality and not what we expected at this level of £££ Molly Mook is a stunning area with breathtaking beaches and coastline. I’d definitely go to the area again but would not return to Bannisters

Have stayed many times and it never disappoints. Falling asleep to the sound of the sea is magic. This time we splurged and stayed in a suite - room 33 which was amazing. We also had dinner twice at the on site restaurant ( see separate review) and loved it. The staff were all great which speaks volumes at a time when many venues struggle to get and retain good hospitality staff.

Definitely doesn’t feel five star and wouldn’t go back. Bunker bay is incredible and its proximity to the beach is its selling point. The resort itself and the service was average. Little things like we didn’t receive our coffees at breakfast a few times, restaurant wasn’t great and the rooms were the most basic we had over our trip in the region. Dark with an unusable balcony, a weak shower and a toilet that didn’t flush properly. It’s probably an ok resort if you have children and need to all be in one place, but it’s not 5 star and wouldn’t recommend for a couple.

We got a great deal from Luxury Escapes. We got to experience the spa, Ricks restaurant, the pool bar and had a water front room with a spa on the deck. We were there in winter and loved it. The warm spa on the deck was fabulous. We will be back and would recommend to couples.

Lovely staff at check in, the ocean deluxe room facing east was wonderful, spotted whales and dolphins too during our stay. The breakfasts are really fresh and generous, the pizza and cocktails on arrival were sublime and provided by a warm and professional waiter 'Dimitris' who went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Lovely ambience, overall a great experience, we will be back!

Dining at Rick Stein's restaurant was an exceptional experience, with fresh, locally-sourced seafood dishes that were both innovative and delicious. The staff were attentive and genuinely friendly, enhancing the overall stay with their warm hospitality. Additionally, the location is superb, with easy access to the beach and nearby attractions.
