Connemara Sands Beach Hotel & Spa

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.

Gorgeous! On the water Wished I booked a longer stay. Restaurant for dinner was excellent. Breakfast was excellent too

Quiet room. Big parking lot. On the beach. Lots of things to do.

Great place to stay, close to the beach, peaceful and quite

Stunning location; very helpful and friendly staff; delicious breakfast.

All the staff and the Owners were extremely supportive, helpful. Great place

Thoroughly enjoyed staying at Sands, the accomodation / staff and location were excellent. I will definitely be booking a return trip.

The food was SO good! Our room was bigger than my apartment in NYC with an achingly beautiful view. Everyone was so accommodating and lovely and fun. I hope we get back there soon & in the summer for more ocean activities. Sauna was heavenly.

Excellent Great experience and lovely staff. Food incredible

Wonderful food and service Beautiful location

Beautiful hotel in an amazingly beautiful setting.

We had a great family weekend at the hotel with our kids at the end of October mid term break. Lovely beach 5 minutes walk away. Holiday homes were well stocked and had everything that we needed. Great food at the hotel which was an added bonus to our trip. We will definitely return again.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful location. Would definitely recommend.

It was a nice place to relax Dinner was nice. Room was very nice with a beautiful view.

We loved this place. Watched the sunset from the beach there. The bartender, Paddy, was friendly and funny. This was our favorite stay in Ireland.

Room was very nice; bar menu very poor and service average despite it being pretty quiet

Very quiet location and had great views of the sea.

Booked this place months ago. Site said they had a self catering family cottage. They didn’t. They called to let us know they didn’t have cottages but apartment type room, a few days after booking. An hour before arriving after a day of travel & site seeing they called to say there were electrical issues and they could put us in a suit with same number of beds but no kitchen. Let us know they had restraunt there. We accepted the different room, but what else can you do on long weekend at 6 pm at night. They would make reservations for us if we wanted. We chose to eat in town we visit in the day as the resultant prices for our family to have breakfast was to be €40 Next morning however I was curious & went back to site to see what room rate difference was. Found site changed to state only rooms , no self catering rooms at all. They also included breakfast in room cost. We called to ask if they would comp our breakfast & were told us as welcome binder stated we could get a discount. A while later they called back & said basic breakfast was free for Easter. So the hotel made up some of the issue with a free breakfast. Still all in all we had to pay for a few more meals out over our long weekend due to not having what we paid for. If we hadn’t gotten such a good deal for our original rate I’d be unhappy with this stay.
