One night in a one bedroom Newly Renovated!! suite and 2 nights in a 2 bedroom suite with family. We always feel very welcome and we are never disappointed with our accommodations. It is a great way to get everyone together for a great weekend. We would definitely recommend Ocean Trails to friends and family. read less

Very clean well maintained grounds. Bit of a long steep walk to the beach but it's amazing once you get there?

Great heated pool and big jet hot tub. Great setting in a forest with a number of small size buildings. Very well maintained. Dishwasher broke on day 2. Management offered a big discount to make up for that as the machine could not be replaced right away ... 😞 - Small thing - mattress in one bed room was quite worn and weak ... read less

I'd recommend to families looking for a safe enjoyable vacation away from crowds yet convenient to all shopping needs and services. The beach is a short walk down a private trail and children will enjoy the pool. read less

Our room was tastefully updated, although the lack of AC was unfortunate. That being said, the pool was a great option in which to cool down. The pool's depth ranged from 3.5ft to 5ft, and there's a hot tub and change/washrooms. Access to the beautiful beach was a short couple of minutes down a gated path. The thing I really appreciated about our room was how quiet it was. I couldn't hear our neighbours beside or below us. It was amazing. The customer service from the front desk attendees was prompt and top notch. read less

My parents took myself, my husband and our two young kids (ages 3.5 years and 17 months). My brothers also came up for a few days each.

We had a 3 bedroom unit and we found it spacious, updated and especially loved the waterfall shower in the downstairs bath. Enough space for all of us and the kids loved the coziness of the upstairs as we don't have an upstairs at home. Good idea to bring salt and pepper as well as some food storage stuff for leftovers if you are planning on cooking. We also rented a BBQ for the week which was great. Loved that the outdoor table had a fold out extention leaf! Our kids also absolutely loved the foresty Grove outside our unit. They loved just playing in the dirt with their trucks.

We loved the proximity to Rathtrevor Beach (best beach with kids ever and also a very nice almost private stretch of beach at this point of the beach). One downfall is the ramp down, it's very steep which was a bit of a struggle with a younger child as well as anyone with mobility issues. Also the way the ramp is structured with the wood pieces you can't really pull a wagon up and down it so you have to haul all your stuff up and down by hand. Manageable but not easy with young children.

Others mentioned feeling like AC was needed, we were comfortable and never overly hot. Upstairs cooled off exceptionally well at night.

The pool is a WINNER for all and extremely family friendly. Our kids loved it! We all loved it! The hot tub is amazing as well and everything was always clean. We didn't use the playground much but it's a nice addition to the resort as well. Games, puzzles, sporting goods, books, etc available to borrow from the office also a nice touch!

Proximity to essentials like gas and grocery stores is less than 5 minutes. There is a mini golf place right across the street which was enjoyed by the adults. My husband and I also had a glorious kid free splurge at the Grotto spa at Tigh Ni Mara which is a 5 minute walk from the resort, we would highly recommend!

All in all we had a fabulous time, so fabulous that we already booked for next summer! Can't wait to go back!

Thank you to the friendly staff who answered all our questions and were prompt with anything we needed:) read less

Very comfortable, although I wish they had AC. Great place to take kids, with the pool, the playpark and the wonderful beach so close. Plenty of things to do in the area.

We never knew if it was sunny until we went out the front door. We would have preferred a king bed but there are not many to be had. The Front Desk was very friendly and welcoming. The heated pool and hot tub were fine. | Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities read less
