Ireland vacations are designed around experiencing all of the breathtaking beauty, historic castles and sites, and warm and friendly culture that this great destination has to offer. Ireland appeals to the adventurous soul – those interested in exploring rather than staying put at a resort – and the country is small enough that tourists can cover a lot of ground in a single Ireland vacation. Dublin is a beautiful and diverse destination for those interested in pubs and nightlife as well as history and culture. Many tourists choose to visit Ireland after hearing about the country's breathtaking beauty. Once you've been there, you'll understand what all the buzz is about.
Getting Around: Ireland tends to suit young tourists who are comfortable with venturing on their own path as well as older tourists who appreciate the many coach bus tours that are offered. Canadians are generally comfortable with renting a car and navigating the relatively narrow streets to explore, and access to a vehicle will go a long way to maximize the experience. Hop-on Hop-off busses are available in major centres, and tours are available for those who are not comfortable with driving on the opposite side of the road.
Where to Stay: Hotels in Dublin such as Sandymount Hotel and Ashling Hotel Dublin offer well-appointed accommodations to visitors. Our travel agents can help you select the best hotel for you.
Weather: Average temperatures in Dublin range from 2-8C in January and 15-19C in July.
Attractions: The locals are generally very friendly and travel throughout Ireland is very safe. Independent types will certainly appreciate Ireland as they soak in all of its beauty, either hiking, touring, or driving through countless picturesque locations. For the younger crowd, Ireland vacations provide the opportunity to party in some of the best pubs in the world. Ireland is also great for golf enthusiasts. For those who can tolerate the cooler waters, the west coast of Ireland features some beautiful beaches that are worthy of investigation. For the history buff, castles are a very big feature, and there are plenty to see across the country.

It is a year since my granddaughter and I stayed in the Clayton. We found the staff helpful, and very knowledgeable. Our room was clean and quiet, and the restaurant was very nice. Walking along the pathways and parks, was wonderful after a long flight from Canada.

Verified PurchaserAshling Hotel Dublin: Would definitely recommend to anyone touring Dublin
Very friendly and accommodating staff who were always willing and able to answer questions we had regarding local sites to see and where to eat. Room very well appointed. Probably the best breakfast variety and quality I have seen anywhere I have travelled. Top marks.
The hotel was in a good location downtown Dublin. Staff was friendly and the rooms were clean. I would highly recommend this hotel. Breakfast was very fresh with many options and the price for the stay was quite modest as well.

Verified PurchaserClayton Hotel Ballsbridge: Home Away From Home
Because we came in a day earlier than our tour start date, we got to spend two nights at the Ballsbridge. The location of the hotel afforded us the opportunity to walk to downtown Dublin and take in many of the sights that were not part of our tour. The staff was very helpful and friendly, the rooms were spacious and very clean and the food was very good. Definitely a hotel to recommend to others.

Verified PurchaserThe Croke Park Hotel: Fantastic Hotel Amenities
We had a wonderful week long stay at this hotel. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Concierge was always very helpful. The staff was all friendly. And the full breakfast was the perfect way to start every day. The location of the hotel was great for us because it was just a short walk to the city centre but also allowed for some peaceful moments away from the bustle of the late night pubs crowd.

Verified PurchaserAcademy Plaza Hotel: Very Good
This hotel was in the heart of the city, therefore, we had easy access to everything. The hotel staff was courteous and very helpful. The room was always clean as well as the lounge. The staff answered any questions that we needed answered. The staff in the bar/lounge, especially Simone were friendly. Simone was fun to talk with and always seemed to be interested in what we were discussing with him. He always had a smile on his face and made any drink we asked for, even suggesting us try different ones. He gave suggestions of places to see and things to do. We always made a point of stopping in to see Simone if he was working. He works very hard and is very pleasant. Also when we needed to book a tour of any kind the staff was extremely helpful and booked it for us.

Verified PurchaserHilton Garden Inn Custom House: Good Stay At Jurys Custom House,Dublin.
Hotel room,albeit a bit small for two people sharing,had a beautiful view of the River Liffey from the window. Situated in a nice area within walking distance to downtown. Local,sightseeing and airport buses stop in front of
hotel. Breakfast was delicious,nutritious and varied. All hotel staff, from front
desk,restaurant,housekeeping,and maintenance,were very courteous and
helpful and worked hard to keep the premises clean and the customers happy. All in all,a very good choice in accommodation for my sister and I.
We traveled to Ireland June 1 to June 9th with the flight and 7 nights B&B deal. I have rated this deal as average since the Bed and Breakfast accommodations that you can book are limited and although we purchased the 5 star package there were no 5 star B&Bs available.
I booked in March and thought that 3 months would be enough time to get good accommodations. We were unable to get anything in Dublin (with a private bath and at least a 3 star rating). I believe that booking B&Bs privately (without a voucher package) and purchasing a flight (on sale) would be better value. This was o.k. for a first time visit and we had no issues with the voucher and accommodations we did find. Don't underestimate the amount of time you will need to find accommodations that suit your itinerary;. I have rated our accommodations separately (2 out of 3 were good), Newlands Country House near Kilkenny and The Ferris Wheel near Kilarney. Check out their websites.

Great location in Venice along the Grand Canal. Five minute walk to the bus station which you can take to the airport. One hour walk to St Mark's Square through the city. Good breakfast served every morning. Friendly staff. Room was nice but did not meet my expectations based on price per night.

Verified PurchaserRiu Plaza The Gresham Hotel: Historic charm
Very clean, front and inside were class. The room was small and quaint, we had no view out of our window, but we're not there for the hotel anyways.
The food was absolutely amazing.
I would recommend not venturing out at night and to see the sights outside of Dublin city

Ireland is a "must see" as the people you meet are just wonderful and scenery is truly 'emerald' along the coast and beautiful. You really have to get around the whole country as it is different scenery north to the south.
