Deserved Time-Out with an Irish Hotel Spa Break

The Icon Spa at the beautifully located 4 star Castle Dargan Hotel in Sligo offers therapies ranging from dry floatation, massage therapies, facial therapies, and balneotherapy from its superb Elmis signature line of superior spa products.

Hard work deserves some reward and it is reasonable for to say that, at the least, the dedicated worker needs some recuperative time-out to keep a healthy balance in his or her life. That point alone is one of the reasons why spa breaks have become such a popular choice with many who are looking to de-stress and unwind away from everything to do with the work environment.

For that to happen it is important that a quality spa centre offers everything in the line of treatments and amenities so that it achieves that 'perfect place' designation that satisfied clients bestow when they come away happy. That informal accolade is still a real achievement.  Achievement in this sense means the client is conscious of a sense of wellbeing, and that some elements of rejuvenation, new vitality and relaxation has interposed itself into their general sense of self.

In Ireland, we are fortunate and can boast of the fact that we have so many excellent, high quality spas. Mostly they are incorporated into the wonderful facilities of our first rank hotels where experienced therapists bring to their clients a full spectrum of exclusive treatments. Amenities such as saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, plunge pools underscore the luxury environment of our best spa offerings.

Invariably, this indulgence is backed by impressive and expected premier class accommodation and dining options - all going to emphasise that real pampering goes beyond mere slippers and robes. Here, without a doubt, Irish hotels win out as the standard of service and facilities they provide are a sublime match with everything else that has been integrated into the establishment's separate but complementary spa experience.

Essentially, a spa break is a me-treat available to us all in virtually every county in Ireland. It is something that will make you feel good about yourself and comes at a price that is reasonable for what you get. Confidently, one could say: you won't be disappointed, and you will be glad you did it. Whats more, for some people - and without overstating it - it has tangible and significant health benefits, and becomes something they schedule into their personal routine.

Castle Dargan's Icon Spa provides superior facilities in a secluded location.

Where to go then? Well, the choice of destination is wide and varied and something you can take time over. A check through our 'Ireland Hotels offers' section could give you a good guide to where initially you would like to visit in the country, and after that you only need to search out the particular hotel and spa that appeals to you. Whatever the choice or wherever your fancy takes you, you will certainly have something nice to look forward to and something special to talk about on your return.

To help you on your way and make your wellness break even more special, here is our current discount promotion for spa breaks in Ireland -

Dublin's Temple Bar and Some Great Hotel Deals

In a moment I am going to step out of this delightful Dublin pub - the Oliver St. John Gogarty. This is a traditional watering hole for thirsty Dubs and a irresistible attraction for visitors. It's got that 'old worlde' charm we all rave about, it has got every type of drink you might want, but today it has got what I want most - a good hearty meal. And after just finishing up this delicious repast, I will again venture out from the last hour's pleasant interlude in this most welcoming pub.

That is going to put me right smack in the middle of Temple Bar. I forgot to mention that. But that is exactly where the Oliver St. John Gogarty is located. If you are rambling around here you can't miss it. For good food or drink, you can't go wrong here.  In fact, without either it would still be nice.  Aside from this fine establishment, Temple Bar itself is full of excellent pubs and restaurants. Believe me, choice will not be a problem.

These cobbled streets that are now constantly populated by so many tourists was once in former years a place of ill repute where the activities of the demimonde cast its dark immoral shadow over the delicate sensibilities of the times. How terrible. But now, do we really care about all those depressing tales? That was all back in the 18^th century. Gone today are the ladies of dubious pleasure as well as the craftsmen and merchants that used to ply their trade here. Of course, with so many good people banished, Temple Bar fell into decline for many decades. But a thoughtful rejuvenation changed all that, and now artists and other lofty types have taken hold in Temple Bar, thus making the area once again a place of keen interest and enjoyment.

Well then, we can take it you'll want to visit. So dipping once again into our Ireland Hotels promotion bag we have this nice offering for Temple Bar ......

Killarney's Attraction Never Dims ~ and the Latest Hotel Offers

Ireland is famous for its mix of beautiful scenery, intriguing history and friendly people. Travel anywhere in the country and you will always come across something memorable to impress you. Naturally, in this our first post for our new Irelands Best Hotels blog, we have decided to pick somewhere special and enduringly popular. Although there are many destinations in Ireland that fit in that category, one such place is Killarney with its perfect postcard scenes of natural beauty.

When intending visitors make an internet search for Ireland hotels, often the first destination they may have in mind, outside of Dublin, is Killarney. Its attraction never dims. The area was always exceptional, but the public took even greater notice after the visit of Queen Victoria in the mid 19th century. She was enthralled with the peace and beauty of the place.

 And what was good enough for Queen Victoria, who visited with great pomp in 1861, is good enough for us. With that in mind, our kick-off offer this month is for hotels in Killarney. Enjoy the savings and the fun.
