Detailed Reviews
The beautiful coastal walk from Portrane to the far end of Donabate Beach is a great Sunday stroll. Halfway along you will come across the Dunes Hotel. It is ideally placed along this walk to take a break. Unfortunately there is nothing else to choose from if you do want to stop for lunch or a snack/drink. Our group of four entered the hotel on a recent Sunday. It was busy, both inside and out. Finding a table outside which we had to clear ourselves (not a big problem) we set about trying to order some sanwiches etc. But on a Sunday you can only order from the Sunday Menu which does not have any sandwiches. We ordered soup, fried squid and two chicken goujon w/chips main courses. Soup and squid were ok but €12 for three chicken goujons and a handfull of chips was a rip-off. When we asked for some garlic mayo the friendly server returned with a small portion and then asked for 50 cents to pay for it. Very odd. Overall, very poor value for money. Coupled with the odd whiff of a very bad smell coming from somewhere close by it was a forgettable experience, almost.

I arrived at the Dunes Hotel on August 23, 2005, I was shocked about the condition it was in because on the internet the picture look 10 times better than in person, I was so unhappy with the condition of the builiding that the same day i made reservation at another hotel that was only one block away which was comfortable and the elevators were clean and it wasn't messy at all.
I hope that they do some major improvements on that hotel, because I really wasn't comfortable about leaving my things in the room, since someone had reported theif in her room. So that really made up my mind.

We have never stayed here but we have eaten here on many occasions in fact it is one of our regular haunts including many family reunions. The management and staff have always been helpfull and friendly although at the busy times the staff can be overwhelmed but still retain a sence of humour and efficiency. The big rooms reception and bar area are always clean and tidy. Recently we had a family gathering in the Samphire Restraunt and the food and service was excellent. The location of the Dunes is stunning being right on the sea shore with the waves crashing onto the beach if you are in the area treat yourself to some good food and drink by the seaside.
