I stayed in a 3-bedroom suite at Trump's Ireland hotel that costs over $1,300 a night. It felt straight out of a fairytale.

- My family and I visited the Trump International Hotel in Doonbeg, Ireland, for my cousin's wedding.
- The authentic Irish setting, amazing service, and luxury feel were impeccable.
This past fall, I visited Ireland for the first time to attend my cousin's wedding.
I paid 765 euros, or about $840, a night, for a two-bedroom ocean-view suite at the Trump International Hotel in Doonbeg, Ireland. I thought it'd be the most comfortable option to accommodate me, my fiancé, my mother, and my daughter.
Though we paid for a two-bedroom suite, we were upgraded to a three-bedroom suite, which typically costs about 1,250 euros, or $1,360, a night.
Here's what staying at the hotel was like.
The drive to the hotel took my breath away.
The hotel is located along Ireland's southwest coast, near Bunratty Castle and Doolin Cave.
The entire area is surrounded by rolling green hills, so our journey to the hotel had idyllic views.
The hotel had a luxurious yet modern cottage feel.
There was beauty all around, with charming cottage decor, ocean accents, and a fireplace.
We were upgraded to a three-bedroom suite at check-in.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that we'd be staying in a three-bedroom suite instead of a two-bedroom.
Even better, every single window in our suite had a nearly panoramic view of the ocean.
The rooms in our suite had so many luxurious touches.
Each room was very spacious and had its own controlled temperature.
There were walk-in closets in every room.
The closets had thick robes, slippers, and a security box.
I was glad to see plenty of space to store the clothes I brought.
No stone was left unturned when it came to amenities.
The washrooms featured heated flooring and waterfall showers with luxe soaps.
My bathroom even had a walk-in shower with a glass door.
Walking around the premises felt like a daydream.
My family enjoyed exploring the grounds during our stay.
I felt the architecture had an authentic Irish feel.
There was lots to do, and my group especially enjoyed walking along the beach.

The Cliffs of Moher were only a 30-minute drive from the hotel.
The extra care and consideration of the hotel staff made us feel at home.
When my daughter was sick, a staff member drove my fiancé to the pharmacy and offered to clean our rental vehicle and car seat.
Breakfast was included with our stay.
There were lots of food and beverage options to choose from during our stay.
The breakfast menu alone offered choices like eggs benedict, salmon, avocado toast, cereal, and cocktails.
Though we were in Ireland, there was plenty of American cuisine.
My family missed some American cuisine during our trip, so we turned to the dining services at the hotel.
Funny enough, the hotel seemed to be the only place in Ireland that had ranch dressing.
Rain or shine, the team here had us covered.
We could also take advantage of complimentary shuttles, which take guests around the premises and to nearby destinations.
Overall, the grounds were a beautiful venue for a September wedding.
