There’s a lot going on at Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club. A two-hour drive northwest of Dublin, the 222-room property is set in 300 acres of Irish countryside. That means Slieve Russell can offer their guests “everything and anything really,” says PA to the General Manager Laura Brown.
Great for guests, but quite a challenge for Slieve Russell staff. How to ensure guests know exactly what’s on offer and how to get the most from their stay?
Go Paperless, Lose Nothing
The inadequate answer to that used to be loads of literature in the rooms and signs everywhere, says Laura. But then Slieve Russell turned to the Vamoos Guest App.
“Now we just direct everybody to the app. People download it, all the information’s there,” explains Laura. “We now have no literature in our bedrooms. Everything is on Vamoos. Guest directories, menus, booking facilities. And the only sign we have is one in the lobby with the QR code to download the app.”
Help Guests And Staff
Putting everything guests need in the palm of their hands is obviously great for them. But Vamoos helps staff as well because it’s so simple.
As Laura says: “If there’s something that needs to be updated, I can just log in, update it, done and dusted.” No need to contact IT or pay for updates. No need to painstakingly change every menu in the restaurant, or every directory in every room. Griffin Group have found much the same.
Decrease Your Footprint
And then there’s the elimination of waste. Why provide guests with reams of paper they just don’t need or want? Why provide a paper map when a digital one within Vamoos is much more interactive and useful?
For Laura and the Slieve Russell team, Vamoos has helped them be more environmentally friendly while improving the guest experience. No paper needs to be thrown out anymore; there isn’t any.

Dare we say it… the reign of PDFs is almost over! In a world where travellers can find everything they need, from interactive visual itineraries to key travel documents, all within a single platform, it’s difficult to resist the appeal of a travel app. But the hard part isn’t deciding to embrace travel tech, it’s choosing which app solution is right for you.
For tour operators and travel agencies, the ability to communicate directly with travellers, share important travel documents and keep clients informed about itinerary changes is crucial – especially if you want to deliver an excellent overall experience. Here’s the bad news: emails are getting in the way. They’re outdated, time-consuming and easy for your clients to miss. Don’t worry though; we’re sharing 3 ways in which emails are letting you down, and showing you why an all-in-one travel app could be the solution to your problems.
In our first villa travel blog, we looked at why villa travel companies need to ditch paper and emails to offer a more holistic, modern experience that matches client expectations. This time, we’re showing you how to go one step further by using travel tech to integrate trip-defining detail into that experience seamlessly.
