Needs updating. Our rooms were small and very warm. Windows opened very little. The cleaners used a very powerful, perfumy disinfection which was overwhelming

Views of the Irish Sea!
Great hotel close to the ocean with a great pool and fitness club across the parking lot. Walking trail/nature trail is a nice walk to the beach. Front desk staff was superb! Answered all of our questions, gave suggestions and were very helpful. Ate dinner at the restaurant and the included breakfast was delightful. They poached an egg for me and they will also make pancakes to order. Everything else is self serve buffet with everything you could want for breakfast ! A nice respite on our busy trip through Ireland!

Beds comfy, great window and view. We stayed in 7 hotels during our time in Ireland and this was the most expensive, which makes it seem like bad value because we had to clean the bath ourselves - it was full of dirt and hair. This was quite upsetting but as it was late we didn’t want to have to move. The corridor downstairs didn’t smell good which is another reason we didn’t want to move, we also didn’t want to lose our lovely view and comfy beds. It’s just a shame the bathroom was so run down and left dirty and hairy because for the cost you would really expect high quality cleaning. The hotel definitely needs updating and cleaning properly, or the price reduced to reflect the quality. I paid extra as a treat thinking it would be fancy, but even the cheapest hotel we stayed in this trip had a clean bathroom. Bit of a shame but aside from that we had a lovely stay.

Rooms were adequate- very similar to travel lodges I would say but are very Clean and everything you need for a few days. We had a sea view , didnt use the pool or gym as we didnt have time as only stayed 2 nights Breakfast was great. Hot and cold buffet But what makes the Bay great is the staff - really lovely people Arklow is tiny so location is good Will stay again when visiting family

I’m happy we were only here two nights
Our room was on third level near the lift at the junction of three hallways with doors that slammed every time someone closed one. It was also directly above the lounge and the live music came right through the floor. In addition, there was insufficient parking available for guests. At one point it was necessary park up the hill behind a barn in an unimproved unmarked lot. Our water view was over roof of the lobby and building across the way. The buffet breakfast at the hotel is excellent
