Thinking about the Marriott Resort in Ireland?
 

Then you should wait about a year to go. Just stayed there Friday night at the end of a two week jag through UK & Ireland, used points for a room (it's a Cat 5).
Beautiful property, no question, but definitely a typical Marriott resort; miles from anywhere, designed for conferences, and spread out over several acres! As a MP Plat, I was upgraded to a Golf Course View room. Mine was the only room to have grass in front of the windows. Everyone else was looking at straw.
The nearby town, Newtownmount Kennedy, about 10km north of Wicklow Town, is a blink-and-you-miss it town. When I say nearby, I mean 10 minute drive. Two pubs, both of which stop serving food at 6pm. Very nice folks, made a toasted cheese sandwich when I said I was hungry, but definitely a small farm town type pub.
If you don't want to eat at the hotel, you are looking at a 20 minute drive to a good restaurant.
Staff was nice, but poorly organized. This can certainly be excused for a new property, but I hope it improves.
Overall, nice place for a business meeting or a golf outing, but for a feel of traditional Ireland, this ain't it. Hopefully Marriott will purchase something in Dublin soon.
Cheers for now...beerflyer

Yes, I too just spent some time at the Druid''s Glen Marriott... you've hit the nail on the head. Great Hotel, but new - the service levels need to be reviewed. Food in the restaurants is excellent.

updated review?
 

Anyone stayed there recently and have more updated review?

Do a search on 'Druid's Glen' and you will find some more recent info.

Thank You
 

Thank you MileKing. I just booked a reward stay for August at the hotel.
