Delphi Mountain Resort & Spa

Delphi Mountain Resort is located in the back of beyond, but that’s okay, after all you wouldn’t be staying at Delphi unless you wanted to get lost in wild and wonderful Connemara.
If you are interested in getting away from the smog and the smoke of Dublin, I couldn’t recommend Delphi more. Not only do they have a spa, but they have a range of outdoor activities which gives you an opportunity to take in the wonderful scenery surrounding the resort. These activities appear to run on an adhoc basis (i.e.varying on demand and season), so don’t expect to get your wish list of activities to be fulfilled in one weekend.
The food and accommodation are both beyond reproach. Make sure to check out their restaurant which serves local produce such as crab, mussels and lamb. If you feel like relaxing in more informal attire, head to the bar which provides similar dishes at a lower cost to your pocket.
Avoid Delphi if you can’t leave your phone down for more than a moment. The whole resort is an absolute blackspot for coverage, and you’ll have to drive a long distance to receive even a bar on your phone. Make sure to ask reception about the thermal suite open and closing times, as I missed out on these facilities as I was unaware of the open and closing times. Spa treatments are slightly costly and will need to be booked in advance.

Great location and perfect for anyone wanting to disconnect for a few days, literally.

I realise the only cons apart from inconsistent food are things that are generally seen as a plus but they can be cons for someone unprepared for the experience. Overall I couldn’t recommend a stay here enough! If you want A real taste of western Ireland this is the place to be. Special mention to the staff as they are second to none in dealing with customers and are enough to make me come back! Seriously some might say these guys are wasted here but they make it what it is.
Would have given 5 stars but for the inconsistently of the food quality. Easy to see the difference between head chef’s cooking and everyone else’s

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Delphi. My husband were fortunate to spend a few nights here ~ 2 years ago while driving through Ireland, and it was unforgettable. The setting is pristine, the rooms were gorgeous, the staff was so friendly, the food and drinks were great (we ate our dinners at Delphi each night), and the interesting mix of eclectic individuals that were there during our stay really made it interesting and very fun.
Might I add, that neither my husband nor I fish (at all!), but would absolutely love to stay at the Delphi again on a future visit to Ireland.

Delphi is a very family orientated place but it does cater greatly for groups.
I was there on a Hen weekend (not a typical wild girls night out which I liked) We enjoyed 2 evenings of delicious dinner and It was all very relaxing.
I tried out the kayaking which I loved despite the torrential rain! Some of the girls had spa treatments which they enjoyed, and there are numerous walks as well as other activities like archery and wall climbing to enjoy.
