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.

Staff wonderful, breakfast gourmet style Area around hotel out of this world and beach and water super.

Fantastic on all areas. Would love to revisit

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.

Die Deluxe Rooms sind extrem klein, man kann kaum ums Bett gehen. Tiny Room wäre passender! Das Zimmer war sauber und das Frühstück gut.

Séjour parfait. Emplacement idéal. Plage à proximité. Chambre tout confort.

Le personnel est charmant, l’hôtel est très propre, le restaurant très bien. En revanche la chambre est petite, rien pour accrocher les serviettes de bain et surtout nous avions la chambre 202 située au-dessus du bar et nous avons été très gênés par le bruit (portes qui claquent, bruit de percolateur ?) qui heureusement s’arrêtent vers 22h30. Des boules Quies sur la table de chevet à notre arrivée nous ont un peu surpris…De plus la vue jardin est essentiellement une vue parking. Nous avons demandé à changer de chambre mais cela n’a pas été possible.

We spent 2 wonderful nights here! It’s beautiful. The food and staff were great. I’d definitely recommend a spa treatment or 2.

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.

Staff was lovely and the beach was absolutely breathtaking!!

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.
