Lusty Beg has a charming island setting that's perfect for weddings, offering a unique atmosphere with beautiful scenery. However, attention to room comfort could be improved as some beds were uncomfortable and there were issues with noise levels and spa treatments. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some dishes pleasing while others disappointed, especially regarding consistency. Overall, it's an enticing spot, but be prepared for a mix of experiences depending on your timing and expectations.

Lusty Beg Island offers stunning views and a variety of nature trails, which provide a beautiful backdrop for your getaway. While the serene environment is relaxing, the accommodations and dining experience leave room for improvement. If you're looking for a unique island retreat, this place has a lot of potential, but standards should be raised to match the current pricing.

During my stay at this resort, I was impressed by the stunning location and beautiful island atmosphere. The food quality, especially the Seafood Chowder and steak, was exceptional, making dining a delightful experience. However, the accommodations could use some serious updates as they felt old and quite basic. While there were some enjoyable activities, the facilities appeared dated and lacked investment, which detracted from the overall experience.
