Wonderful Hotel - walked straight from our room into the sea Rooftop bar was so relaxing and the guy at the swim up bar was so friendly and accommodating

Good breakfast, you can order your preference from the menu. Staff were really great reception best in class. One thing … allowing external clients to come to occupy pool and beach side sunbeds… means you cannot maybe find a place as a hotel paying guest. These people come, leave towels on sunbeds and disappear for the day… that needs to be monitored better for paying hotel guests. Otherwise recommend the Hotel.

The property is located little bit outside the town but the nearby area here is also very nice. This property offers room at very nice location and with a spectacular view. Special mention to the breakfast offered in the morning which was fresh and as per the choice. We really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend this place.

6/10 Good

The hotel itself was absolutely stunning, truly one of the best I've ever stayed in. The rooms were luxurious, the amenities top-notch, and the views were incredible. However, I was a little disappointed with the service, especially considering I'd mentioned it was a surprise birthday trip when I booked. I was really hoping for a small gesture, like a birthday card or a tiny dessert, to make the occasion even more special. It's a small detail, but it would have made a huge difference. We also noticed that our room was different from the other rooms as our light at the front door wasn’t working and the toilet flush seemed broken as it took multiple attempts for it to flush properly.

An absolutely beautiful hotel, rooms and all the hotel spotless. The staff were so polite and helpful always with a smile and couldn’t do enough for you. We ate at both the pub and restaurant and both were superb and reasonably priced. Both pools were lovely and relaxing. It may be a bit far out but lovely and relaxing and we used the buses or bolt to get around. Would highly recommend.

8/10 Very good

Amazing view of the bay from the hotel bar, restaurant and infinity pool. Rooftop pool with complimentary lounge beds were a big plus. Bar drinks and food very good. Breakfast very good. The location of hotel wasn’t great if you want to do anything besides stay in the hotel as there are no shops, and only one or two bars or restaurants nearby. There is no walkable central area for shopping. We had to travel a lot by Bolt taxi and bus. The hotel would suit a couple on a spa break but would be disappointing if you thought it was near amenities. We had to pay a €200 damage deposit on checking in which we didn’t expect. It was refunded a few days after check out. The staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean with big TV. We didn’t like the mirror over the bed. Not for us!

Damare Resort and Spa is a lovely hotel providing excellent customer service. I had a wonderful experience there.

Oh, and I must also mention the stunning indoor pool; it was breathtaking.

Great views from waterside rooms

We had a waterside room and could be in the sea with seconds of leaving the room. The enterance is just off a busy mainroad, with nightlife only a 10 mins taxi ride away. Breakfast was fresh, with a good selection. Service was mainly very good, there were one, or two minor issues at a £250 per night we would have expect a near to perfect service, however, we would definitely go back. On-the-roof pool area was very good, the views from most areas of the hotel were truly stunning.
