“On behalf of Skibbereen Active Retirement and Social Club. I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to you for organising a wonderful trip for 25 of our members. From the moment the bus picked us up in Skibbereen the bus driver Colin went about and beyond to make our trip a success. The staff at the Arklow Bay Hotel were exceptionally helpful and accommodating dealing with different dietary requirements. The lake and wildlife walk was a relaxing experience. Our day trips were well organised and enjoyable.”

“Just wanted to let you know we had a very successful trip to Belfast, everyone really enjoyed it. The coach was very comfortable and the driver was excellent.”

“Many thanks for helping us organise our trip to the Arklow Bay Hotel recently. We had a very kind and helpful bus driver in David Spillane. The hotel was very comfortable and the food was excellent. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We look forward to a return trip in the future.”

“We have received many, many compliments from all the members who travelled to Castlebar on our recent trip. In particular, our driver was singled out for praise – he was helpful and kind and supported the schedule in every way possible. Please give him our thanks and kind regards. The hotel was very comfortable, and the food was excellent - a great choice on your part. Thanks to you also for all your help and support in organising the event and we look forward to more trips again with Select Hotels in 2025”

“In April 2024 I organised a trip to Tullamore on behalf of Youghal Active Retirement Association. It was our 2nd time travelling with Cronins Coaches and Select Hotels. They were so accommodating and helpful. A special mention for Miriam who was so easy to deal with and looked after our every need and always so professional. We can’t wait for our next trip to Mayo in September.”

“We had an excellent trip. One of the best yet is the feedback I am getting. Everyone loved the hotel and the Manager and staff could not have been more helpful. Full marks also to Liam our driver”
