What Guests Say About Their Stay

Derek

This is a really good hotel if you want a quiet location with a great view and want to relax. Set on a remote coastal road, with its own beach surrounded by farmland with cows and horses The hotel has a variety of rooms, but we liked the Premier Deluxe room which is exclusively for adilts and has ocean views, a wet room shower, self standing bath and a bedroom on a mezanine floor. The hotel provides 2 padel courts, tennis, spa treatments, water acrivities and has 2 sauna huts at its own beach. It caters for families and couples alike although perhaps is not suitable for very young children as the activities are aimed a little older. There is a lively bar and restaurant and breakfasts are excelent. Restaurant food is very good although we felt the vegetables were perhaps unnecessarily covered in syrups and sauces and there was little variety if you wanted something plain. No salads for example. Having said that, we had no complaints and loved the fact that all ingredients are sourced locally. The staff are helpful and friendly. The location is a little remote with the nearest town 10 miles away, so you are a bit cut off if you want to go out in the evening, but the hotel is a delightful place to stay. It is dog friendly.

We had kind of a quick turnaround, wish we had more time to explore and use the amenities. The breakfast was fantastic, great view (the sunrise was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen), very friendly and helpful staff. The bed was super comfortable. A bit of a drive but well worth it.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was one of the best I have had at a hotel. Great variety and freshly made. The evening meal was of a very high standard and a good choice menue.

Room was spacious and clean, staff were sparse at times but all very helpful and cheerful. The area is even more gorgeous than we imagined! All food was spectacular, decadent, and very well presented. Couldve used additional staff for dinner service, but hard to complain when the food and drink was so fantastic.

This hotel was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. Though we met kind strangers and viewed indescribable beauty in our travels around Ireland, the isolated, quiet and luxury of the Connemara Sands was a balm for our souls and a treat to the senses. The menu was thoughtful and the food first class; the accommodations were roomy and tasteful with views of the Connemara landscape and sheep roaming cliffside. A special thank you to staff member, Marion who was there every morning to greet us with a cheery smile , recommendations and true Irish hospitality. We will return to this beautiful haven.

Hotel was geared mainly for people using the spaas there was no guest lounge to seat in and read. We paid extra to have a room with a sitting room so we could sit and read. Breakfast was brilliant lots of different choices and tasty. We booked the hotel for three days and found very little space to put your clothes. The restaurant was good but quite expensive.

A stunning hotel and an absolutely beautiful location. Hotel decor on point at every level and throughout, no short cuts taken or spending held back. Rooms super clean, generous size, warm and comfortable. Service in the hotel was incredible throughout and from every Team member, a credit to the owners. Food at breakfast and the dinner menu were both excellent and the highest level. Can’t wait to rebook for a few nights in the summer!

We stayed in self catering house just few yards from the hotel. The house had everything we needed, was very clean and comfortable too. We ate in hotel on first night. Food was excellent. Hotel is very well decorated and clean. Staff were helpful, especially Marian and Kylie. Didn’t use the spa nor the sauna (which you have to pay extra for). The sauna is by the small private beach. Definitely would highly recommend this place.

We booked a deluxe Double Room with garden view. There was barely enough room to walk around the bed let alone open our suitcases. The bed near enough filled the room. The on-suite door to the shower room opened either onto the basin or onto the bed. There was no bath as shown in the room. Our view was the car park. After a long wait at reception, I asked if we had been given the correct room as it didn't have a garden view. I was told to look past the car park to see the garden. Finally, the air vent on the ceiling was covered up.
