Just stayed with 6 other couples for my Husbands 40th birthday celebration. Pre stay the staff were in constant communication about our groups needs. Upon arrival we felt extremely welcomed and everything very organised. Service throughout our stay was impeccable and friendly. The boys in the group went off golfing with 5 carts (husband recommends getting a cart for this course) while us ladies staying on the clubroom balcony. We had an amazing time, again service from the restaurant wast great, friendly and attentive. We were also lucky enough to have our own two massage ladies provide exceptional relaxing masssages! BLISS!! The rooms we stayed in were very clean and had amazing sunset views over the golf course. Dinner in the restaurant at night was also great fun with amazing food and drinks. All in all we all felt very happy and relaxed with our amazing weekend getaway to Links Lady Bay Resort.

I arrived at 4.30pm to find the place all locked up. There was a note stuck on the window with a contact number to call to get the duty manager, and another note pointing ”out of hours” arrivals to a security box. There was no answer on the number. Fortunately another couple turned up, and they had been sent a code for the box, to get their key. |The lady was rightly dubious but opened the box to get their key and then took my name, and gave me my key, so fair play to her for being security continuous. I did not receive any correspondence from the hotel with my code, or even any contact prior to my arrival to find out my ETA. The whole complex was deserted, which for mid december, I do not understand. My room was probably the furthest away from everything, and for the whole night I was there, there was noone else in my block. I went to the pool, and sat in the spa for the 5 minutes that it is allowed to run for - there is a note saying it must not be run again for another 30 minutes (I think) after it has done its 5 minutes. Eventually another couple came along and sat in the spa, so it got swtiched on too early I would guess... Forgive my sarcasm here, but that makes no logical sence, One thing I forgot to mention was that due to me arriving ”out of hours”, although I cannot understand how 4.20 is out of hours at a big hotel and golf complex, there was NO food anywhere, I had to leave, and drive 20 minutes back to the previous town. The internet was sketchy, so I hate to think what it would be like if there was more than 3 people staying at the hotel. My tv didn't work, I discovered that the aerial was not plugged in, and then I had to manually retune it to get it to work. I left very early the next morning to get a ferry to KI, and there were no more cars in the carpark than then I had arrived (i.e none). The shower water ran brown for a few minutes, so I guess that no one had been in my room for a while. This was probably the weirdest hotel stay that I have had. The place was quite literally deserted.
