On behalf of the Irish Cruising Club, we would like to thank you and all your teams at The Radisson Blu Hotel and Spa Sligo.
At every intervention and contact with the staff in The Radisson Sligo we were overwhelmed by the friendliness, courtesy, skill and professionalism that we experienced. We received ongoing reassurance about the level of expertise that we would encounter in relation to our event – Irish Cruise Club Conference – and this was only surpassed by the level of service, professional courtesy and hospitality that was actually shown to all of our members and guests during our event.
The quality of the food and service was superb all the way through and one of our highest critics, a hotel proprietor in his own right, stated that the fish option “was brave” but excellent. We would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel to anyone wishing to hold an event or wanting to stay in the general area and from comments of many of our members we are sure they will be returning to enjoy your hotel and its facilities in the future!
Our specific thanks to Berni, Fiona, Olive and Keith and especially Paula who came in on multiple occasions on her time off to make sure our event was a success!

Aoife and David Beattie, Irish Cruising Club

Berni, you were a pleasure to work with from start to finish, nothing was ever too much bother. Your team in Sligo are exceptional, they accommodated our every request, while being very friendly and personable at all times. This made a huge difference to both ourselves and our delegates.
Lorraine, your Reservations Manager, in Reservations was exceptional regarding our accommodation bookings, not an easy job considering all the changes right up to the last minute, she was so friendly, efficient and professional, a real asset to your team. And what about Fiona!!! She was a true pleasure to work with, so efficient and pleasant, a lovely person, always available both before and after the conference, and nothing ever appeared to be a problem for her, another great who came
The Radisson Sligo team are on top of your game, and I would not hesitate to book our conference with you again. I will be highly recommending your hotel to my ETBI colleagues for future events.

Elaine O’Reilly ETBI

Many thanks again to all the Radisson staff for their seamless and outstanding work last week for the Irish Council for Social Housing Conference 2022. This made our jobs so much easier! Many of the delegates noted that the venue, service and staff was outstanding. More detailed testimonial to follow – sincere thanks to all!

Dolores Byrne, Finance & Office Manage, Irish Council for Social Housing

“I would like to say a huge thank you for all your hard work in preparation for our Conference. We were thrilled with everything. Your hotel is fabulous. You left no stone unturned in your preparations and you certainly made my job so much easier and made us all feel so welcome. The rooms were all perfect and all the delegates commented on the excellent food quality. I would highly recommend your hotel to others for conferences. In fact, I have recommended it to my colleague in the Home Economics Teachers Association just this morning and a friend in the HSA yesterday”.

Ciara O’Riordan, President BSTAI

“This year’s TII National Roads and Greenways Conference was held in the Radisson Blu Hotel, Sligo on Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd of September 2022. The conference was attended by 350 people. Berni and her team were great to work with and managed to make the conference a huge success. Due to Covid we had to postpone the conference by two years and the team at the Radisson were very accommodating and flexible allowing us to move the date on a few occasions. The hotel is very well run, and the staff, food and accommodation are all five stars, as such I would highly recommend the Sligo Radisson for anyone planning a conference in the future”.

Alastair de Beer, Head of Road Safety, Transport Infrastructure Ireland

“Many thanks for all your assistance in helping to make our conference so memorable. For me, personally, it was the most enjoyable one so far. Everything went so smoothly and the hotel was just the perfect setting. All of the feedback we are receiving is extremely positive
Importantly, there seems to be a very nice working relationship between all of your staff and that shines through. It lends to a very nice atmosphere. I don’t know how the food at the gala dinner was kept so hot. That was some achievement for sure.
I have absolutely nothing negative to say about anything. I was really proud to have been part of the conference and to have met and worked with you all. I want to thank you again so much and to wish you all the best for the future. If we did not have to move around the country on an annual basis, I have no doubt you would be seeing us again next year”!

Maurice Leahy, Transport Infrastructure Ireland

“On behalf of myself, The President, The Executive Council and everyone in the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation I wish to sincerely thank all of the staff, in the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Sligo, for their help, attention and assistance during our recent Annual Delegate Conference held at your hotel and events centre.
We recognise our conference kept everyone very busy and I am sure many of the service staff had very long days. A special mention to Fiona Boland your M & E Manager who went above and beyond in the run-up to and during the conference. Her positive and professional approach was greatly appreciated by the team.
Thank you for a job very well done! “

Phil Ní Sheaghdha, General Secretary, INMO

“Social Care Ireland held their first live conference after the pandemic at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Rosses Point, Sligo in April 2022. The conference & events team are exceptional and so responsive. Any queries were answered within minutes and we could not fault them in this regard. The conference facilities were excellent and the team could not have done more to assist us over the 2 days of our Conference. The professional way they dealt with our conference committee and delegates alike was outstanding and the food provided was of an excellent standard. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel for any live event, big or small, and would gladly revisit the Radisson Blu in the future.”

Charlotte Burke, CPD Co-ordinator, Social Care Ireland

“I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you and the team most sincerely for the wonderful hospitality at the Forsa event last week. Everyone in the hotel was an absolute pleasure to deal with and ever so efficient. I would honestly say the food was one of the best meals I’ve had at a Gala dinner, the standard was superb.
Congratulations to you and all the team on such a wonderful conference.“

Michelle Thornton, Managing Director, Hotel Solutions

“We chose to hold our annual conference at the Radisson Blu hotel in Sligo. We are delighted to say that we found the hotel facilities and staff to be of a very high standard, attuned to our every need and all located in a beautiful area with views of both the sea and the countryside. Our group had a very successful conference day in the hotel welcoming external speakers from the local area, followed by activities in and around Sligo town which included an evening at the races, a walking tour of the town, yoga on the beach and seaweed baths to name but a few. A truly fabulous experience and a part of Ireland I would highly recommend to any company or individual and the Radisson Blu is the ideal place to stay”.

Andrea Claydon, Senior Manager – Finance UK & Ireland United Airlines

“The Radisson BLU Hotel and Spa, Sligo, was the perfect venue for our annual Critical Care Nursing conference. At all points in our planning, Bernie and Fiona were impeccable in their ability to respond and listen to what we needed during preparations and on the day itself. All of our trade partners were very happy with the ample exhibition space. If you are thinking about having your conference in the North West, I would highly recommend the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Sligo”.

Derek Cribbin Vice Chair IACCN

“I recently booked the Radisson Hotel in Sligo for the second time for our Annual General Conference. I was once again blown away with the service. The staff catered for our big numbers efficiently and professionally. The food was amazing and hospitality second to none. I would like to thank the management and staff for our positive experience and I would have no problem recommending the Radisson Hotel, Sligo for any corporate event”.

Tom Delaney, Prison Officers Association

This is just a wee note to say thank you for all your assistance with the preparation for our referee’s awards dinner on Saturday night past.
Please pass on our thanks to Ramees and the events team at the Hillgrove Hotel who looked after us so well on the night they were so very helpful, and this was appreciated very much, it definitely helped things run so smoothly on the night. I would also be grateful if you would also kindly pass on our compliments to the chefs and the catering staff, for the lovely meal that they had prepared, the food was absolutely beautiful.
In particular, I would also like to thank you for organising the prize kindly donated by the hotel for the charity raffle that we had on the night, we are very grateful to you for this, so thank you.
Best wishes to you and the team for the year ahead.

Geraldine – GAA Event Organiser

We would like to thank the Hillgrove hotel for an amazing night. Manta and her team were amazing with excellent customer service throughout the meal and the band was fabulous and catered for all age groups. It certainly was a night to remember.
Hope you and your team have a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for 2023.

Martina – Corporate Conference Organiser

Thank you so much for your email – we had a fabulous day!
The Hotel is truly beautiful and our Carers felt pampered and relaxed in such a charming environment. Also the Christmas Dinner was sumptuous and very tasty – Thank you so much.
Looking forward to visiting the Hotel for Day 2 in January!

Kellie-Ann – Christmas Party booker

Just a quick follow-up to reinforce Barry’s note below – we had a fantastic evening and the Hillgrove did not disappoint for the GAA Gala– everything was excellent including the food, venue and most notably the staff – please pass on our thanks and appreciation.
In addition, we would like to thank you personally for all the help, support and guidance you provided from making the very first enquiry.
Hopefully, the Hillgrove did alright out of the night as well (the bars certainly looked busy all through the event and into the small hours!).
We’ll hopefully cross paths again. Speak soon.

Shane – GAA Gala Ball

Thank you, we all had a lovely time. The Hotel certainly lived up to our expectations, it was beautiful. I did see an office close to us, I was going to ask if it was yours, would have been nice to meet you.
Our feedback is all positive. From our scones and coffee ready for us to arrive, the facilities for the conference room, right through to our main meal that evening, it was all delicious.
Our rooms were excellent, I just wish I had off had more time to enjoy the pool etc. That was the boss’s fault for arranging a Saturday morning meeting.
I’m hoping to bring my own family over Christmas for an overnight stay, it was great, just an hour away, so I may see you soon.
Thank you again,

Veronica – Voluntary Organisation

Radisson Limerick Johnson & Johnson All Ireland Finance Day Sept 2024
On Behalf of the Johnson and Johnson Organisation Committee of J&J All Ireland Finance day Sept 2024 and the Finance Directors (Talent Council), we would like to thank you and congratulate you on a fantastic event It was a wonderfully well-run event and most certainly ticked all boxes on what was asked of you from the outset. There was a fantastic vibe throughout the day and everyone we spoke to thoroughly enjoyed it.
This would not be possible without the work Michelle and Suzanne and the Team at the hotel done, you could not do enough for us from the moment we selected your hotel the lead up ask’s and the ask’s over the last few weeks hours and days and the day itself was dealt with a positive and proactive manner and the efficacy of all your staff from Patrick who set up the room and Gabriella and her team with the bar and all the evening asks, reception girls and you both.
Thank you all and we wish you and all in the Raddison Blue Hotel in Limerick the very best in your continued success.
Maura Deane, J&J Innovative Medicine Principal Operations

I booked several bedrooms and a conference room for a company Board meeting. Not only were the facilities terrific, the people were even better!! From the second I arrived, Marina (front desk) went out of her way to ensure we had everything we required. Emer (meeting facilities) was outstanding and went above and beyond to rapidly assist us whenever needed. Debbie (front desk) was part of the evening crew and always greeted our team with a tremendous smile and incredible efficiency when asked for assistance. When you couple this type of service with a great facility and only a short drive to Shannon Airport (LOVE Shannon Airport – really easy in / out!!), this is the perfect place for us to have all of our future Board meetings!

Keith – Corporate Meeting Booker

Thank you to the Meeting and Events Team
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Michelle Sousa, Meeting and Events Executive and all the meeting events team at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Limerick today. We hosted an early morning event and they couldn’t have been more professional and attentive.

From the moment we made the booking until the day itself the whole process was made incredibly easy. A very professional team. Thank you to all.

John – Business Meeting Organiser

Hi Suzanne and Michelle
Just want to pass on our thanks for your hospitality this week. The facilities, rooms, restaurant and staff are amazing.

Brid – Executive Officer, Health Authority

I deal with the INUA Group with regards to my events, namely The Irish Hotel Awards, The Irish Takeaway Awards and The YesChef Awards.
We have had the great pleasure of working with their Radisson brand in both Sligo and Athlone and the Fairways Hotel in Dundalk.
The teams in all of these properties have delivered superb support for all our events. Every little detail or request was carried out in a seamless and professional manner. Any assistance that could possibly be offered was offered without hesitation. The teams take a real problem solving approach to their working and are solution focussed.
We have just completed the YesChef Awards held in the Fairways and I can say with the utmost confidence that everyone at every level within the group and not only the property was on hand to ensure things went as planned.
I believe that the INUA Group have a business attitude much the same as myself, “If they look good, so does the client”. I can’t speak more highly about the point of contact within each property and the level of support that has been offered to our company, I can highly recommend.

Shane Smith

I appreciate all the hard work, commitment and attention to detail during our time of collaboration. Looking forward to working with you again.

Colette, Professional Conference Organiser

Hi all, just a quick message to say that the Fairways, not surprisingly of course, turned out to be a fantastic venue for the evening part of our Student Chef of the Year event, which was celebrating it’s 25th Anniversary yesterday.
A massive thanks to all the staff there (nothing was too much of an ask), the professionalism, the food, the rooms, everything was excellent.
We had 9 Catering Colleges represented, 9 students (competitors), who all had a ‘helper’ on the day, their lecturers, and other representatives from the colleges. This years hosts was Dundalk IT. We also had Marketing Personnel present (from UK and Ireland), Alex Hall who manages the UKI Culinary Team, our Trends/Insights person (travelled from the UK), Irish Country Lead and of course Audrey our Executive Chef in Ireland.

Neil – Organiser of Student Chef of the year

To Siobhan, Georgina, Eugene, Ashling, Rachel, Roxane et all,
Just wanted to say a massive ‘Thank You’ to you and all the team for making our night a huge success on Friday. Everyone had an amazing night and a much-needed group hug from the company made all the more special by the efforts put in from all the staff at The Fairways
We will be chatting about it for months to come, and I hope this leads to opportunities for more events like this with you guys in the future.
Thank you, Eugene, for being an awesome manager leaving no room for worry on our side, from what we could see everything went as smoothly as possible.
As suspected, our CEO authorised the bar tab to run over on the night, so please forward the bill for the balance as soon as possible and I will add it to the bill.
Until next time,

Karen – Corporate Event Organiser

We are beyond delighted with how everything went in The Radisson Blu Hotel, Cork for our recent 2 day conference for 140 delegates. You should be so proud of your team in the hotel. From front of house to housekeeping, they were all amazing.

Hazel – An Post

‘The Radisson Blu Hotel, Cork team was an absolute pleasure to work with. They were very responsive throughout the entire planning process, kept our team updated on changes, and were very accommodating to all our needs. Notably, when we had any last minute changes, floor plan amendments or catering issues they were very quick to respond & resolve. Our exhibitors, suppliers & delegates had nothing but praise for the Conferences and Events team. We know the event would not have been as successful as it was without their invaluable contributions & ease to work with. Needless to say, we will be returning for our 2025 event for an even bigger & better event.’

Deirdre – Cargill

With the past 5 years or more, I have been coordinating events for PDA Ireland. It is always a pleasure when we are having one of our events in Cork that we use the services of Radisson Blu & Spa, Little Island.
Joanne, her team and the wider team within the hotel provide a seamless service. From our Networking Events held the night before the main event, beautifully laid out with drinks and canapes in the stunning Ditchley House, to the conference day itself, their attention to detail means that there is very little stress and worry for the organising team.
The conference space is well equipped and spacious even when there is a delegation of over 160 persons present.
The tasty food within the hotel, the lovely appointed bedrooms and of course the gym and spa are lovely additions for our delegates.
PDA Ireland look forward to continuing to holding our events in this lovely hotel and highly recommends the Radisson Blu & Spa, Little Island.’

Deirdre – PDA Ireland

On behalf of the team at Whitelight Events, AIB and Mongey Communications please accept our huge thanks for a wonderful event last night.
We couldn’t have asked for a better partnership in delivering this event for the team at AIB.
From the moment Carla took our inquiry, we knew that we were in safe hands – she has been superb throughout the planning process. Our site visit and meeting Chris further confirmed that. The Pre-Con meeting with you, Irene, Chris and Carla demonstrated how dedicated your team was to helping get this event right for our shared client. And that gave us great confidence.
Giving us early access, for advance set up, was a huge help and we appreciated it very much. When we arrived on Monday evening, your team lead by Chris and Patrick, made us feel so welcome, and were so professional and caring in all of their dealings with us. Special thanks to Amy in the Brasserie for taking such good care of myself and Con – she was wonderful both days.
Thank you to the culinary team for feeding us and our guests so well.
Thank you to all of the Banqueting Operations team for consistently going over and above to ensure everything was right for the event. They really were superb and their professionalism and care for our clients was deeply appreciated by us all.
This was the first of these events for AIB and the team at the Radisson Hotel Athlone have set the bar very high. Please extend our thanks to all of the team, to everyone who contributed to the success of the event.
Fergus, we wish you and your team continued success in all that you do, and we look forward to working with you again in the future!
