The hotel offers breathtaking views over the marina and is convenient for exploring the area. While my room was spacious and well-equipped, there were significant issues with noise from neighboring guests that disrupted my stay. The staff were generally efficient, but I faced challenges when reaching out for assistance, particularly regarding the pool closures. Overall, it has potential with its beautiful surroundings, but improvements in soundproofing and customer service are needed.

I had a wonderful stay overall with my second visit to this resort in Cullen Bay. The apartment was clean and well-furnished, offering great views of the marina from the spacious balcony. However, I was disappointed to find that the pool was closed for part of my stay, which wasn't communicated before my arrival. The staff were generally helpful, but some aspects of the service could use improvement.

My stay at Vivo Cullen Bay Resort was a mix of highs and lows. The location is lovely with wonderful views over Cullen Bay, and the apartment was clean and comfortable, making it a decent choice for the price. However, the facilities felt a bit tired, and a few essential items were missing, which was frustrating. Overall, I did find good value for money, but improvements are definitely needed.
