Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Doonbeg Ireland

Unlike most guests, who were avid golfers, we did not play golf during our stay. Instead, we spent a full week using the resort as our base while exploring the breathtaking west coast of Ireland.||||LOCATION – The property enjoys a truly stunning setting, positioned approximately halfway between the Cliffs of Moher and Loop Head Lighthouse. The nearby beach is exquisite — long, serene, and ideal for leisurely walks. The resort’s peaceful seclusion adds to its charm, though it is some distance from shops or restaurants, something worth noting when planning your visit.||||ROOMS – The cottages are situated about an 8–10 minute walk from the main building, where the restaurants are located. We were fortunate to stay in a suite within the main house, which was spacious, elegant, and exceptionally comfortable, complete with a small kitchenette. The room was immaculate — I’m meticulous about cleanliness and was impressed to find every corner spotless.||The décor featured beautiful, classic furnishings that exuded character and warmth, in contrast to the minimalist modern style often found elsewhere. The bed was luxuriously comfortable, dressed with fine linens.||Our only challenge was temperature control: the rooms are well heated, and the heavy duvet became a bit too warm at night. Opening the bathroom window helped but invited a few insects in. Housekeeping kindly provided lighter blankets after a couple of nights, which resolved the issue perfectly. The shower was powerful and modern — a delightful touch.||||SERVICE – From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. We had the pleasure of meeting Charlie, Trudy, Clíodhna (forgive me if I’ve misspelled her name), and Nicole at breakfast — each one warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Their professionalism, combined with a natural Irish charm, elevated our experience and made our stay truly memorable.||||DINING – During our visit, which fell in the low season, only one restaurant was open. The menu was limited but offered well-prepared dishes made with fresh, quality ingredients. As most guests appeared to be golfers staying only a night or two, the selection suited them perfectly. However, for those staying longer, as we did, it’s something to keep in mind.||||Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay. The setting, the comfort, and above all, the gracious hospitality made for an unforgettable experience. We would happily return — perhaps next time for a slightly shorter visit — and would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking tranquility, beauty, and genuine Irish warmth.

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful hotel. The location and views around the hotel itself are stunning. We were so impressed with the staff here, the bar staff were so friendly, the drivers that take you to and from the hotel were fantastic and Jack on the reception desk really impressed us, he was so helpful and gave us lots of great info about the hotel and created a lovely, welcoming atmosphere at front of house. Look forward to returning!

Stayed here with family and had an absolutely beautiful time. Hotel, Rooms, Food, atmosphere, service was 10 out of 10. Will definitely be back but will not recommend staying by the houses at the service area as it was very loud and there was construction work been carried out. Kept us awake most of the night. But a beautiful place to stay and will be back.

We only stayed one night, as well as played a round of golf, and it was nothing shy of an amazing experience! The cottages were perfect for a cozy night sleep and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The food at the Trump restaurant was so delicious… the wagyu burger is the best I’ve ever had! The staff here were all attentive and helpful, the golf course well manicured, and the grounds surrounding the facility just perfect. I used the spa, but only the hot tub, sauna, and steam room which was nice but wish they had a shared facility that both men and women can enjoy together. As a couple it would have been nice to have this option rather than being segregated. This said, the spa facilities were decent but also nothing extraordinary. We very much enjoyed our stay here at Trump Doonbeg and glad we chose it as a stop on our Ireland country tour.

The second you arrive at the hotel perfection takes over, from check in, the suite, the bar, food and the restaurant, breakfast the course it is all perfect!!! ||I cannot praise the staff service enough, every single person we came across was impeccable, fantastic. ||The breakfast was perhaps the best we’ve ever had in any hotel stayed in. ||The suite had everything you could ask for. ||I cannot praise this hotel enough. ||I hope we will be back again someday.

Our first stay at Trump Doonbeg was wonderful. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the bottle of zero Prosecco in our room was such a thoughtful touch. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the whole resort had a lovely, relaxing atmosphere. Overall, a beautiful stay — we’d definitely return!

My wife and my favorite place to stay in Ireland! Five star plus service and accommodations. Amazing golf course and the staff are wonderful and show genuine Irish hospitality as well! I’ve been multiple times with my wife as well as Golf friends through the years. Planning our 2026 trip as we speak and Trump Doonbeg will be a part of it!

Let me preface by saying that we did not stay here, nor did we play golf. ||We were driving part of the Wild Atlantic Way on September 10. We were on tiny roads, nearly in the middle of nowhere. My husband spotted the sign "Trump International". We had no idea that it was out there. We turned around to check it out. As we entered the property we came to a little gate house. A nice looking man, came out to greet us. He asked if we were checking in. We told him we were just driving by. I was holding my breath, I thought he might tell us to turn around. To our absolute delight he smiled his fantastic smiled and said with a bit of a giggle "Just wanted to have a look see?" We said yes, that we just wanted to see it. He told us where to park and encouraged us to go upstairs to the restaurant "at least have a coffee while you're here". We looked about the incredibly maintained grounds. Checked out the back of the property. Looked over the pro shop. Then went upstairs to the restaurant bar. The bartender was VERY professional but also kind. When I asked him sheepishly if I could keep one of the little cloth coasters, he said sure and "take this too" as he tossed me a pen. We went back to the pro shop looking for a sweatshirt. The extremely gracious employee in the shop told me that they'd be in the gift shop. He said it was closed. He made a call and said "she's opening it up". Then he walked us through the property to take us to the gift shop. I love my sweatshirt. What a fabulous little surprise on our adventure.
