Had a wonderful family break at Connemara Sands over Easter weekend. Staff, service and food all amazing and the location is simply breathtaking… the beach sauna and outside sea**** baths are an additional unique experience experience, Brian the barman and resident musician is a star in the making… thank you to all at The Sands. We will return.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The hospitality was top-notch, the food was fantastic, and the easy beach access made it even more enjoyable. The hot tub and sea**** baths were perfect for relaxation after a swim. Stylish rooms, a comfy bed, and a great night's sleep – I'll definitely be returning!

I visited the hotel as a part of a group at the end of February and I am only sorry I waited this long to take a trip. The quality of the guest room was fantastic, the water pressure was amazing, the VOYA products in the room were wonderful and the room was spotless. The hotel itself is located in a spot that is perfect to get away from the world for a while and immerse yourself in nature. They had a Sauna, outdoor Hot tub and sea**** baths also available. The hotel is very well maintained. The two stand out things for me were the team at the hotel as well as the food. Shannon, Marion, Brian and owners Dean and Cathy were such fantastic hosts and as a hotel worker myself I genuinely appreciate now when guests say its the staff that made their stay! Their head chef Sinead provided dishes of which ingredients were sourced locally, for our evening meal and this was fantastic from start to finish. Breakfast was equally as good with their Avocado and Feta dish being a favorite of many! Thanks again to all at the Connemara Sands for your hospitality and I am looking forward to my next visit :)

Top class is every way. It was early in the season when we brought our group of 20 to Connemara sands and the hotel was fantastic. It is so modern and kept so well, everything recently painted, and spotless. The warm welcome, spacious warm comfortable rooms, professional service, stunning local food on offer, everything was Excelent. Our group enjoyed the outdoor sea**** baths and sauna and hot tub and took several swims at the beach behind the property. We hosted a dinner for 30 people one of the evening and it was everyone’s highlight. Can’t compliment the chef and service staff enough. This is an amazing hotel. A real hidden gem.

A quiet town with a quieter atmosphere. Alone with my thoughts and a strong, gaelic breeze I wandered the premises day and night. Beach-water would slap you sideways and leave you broken-hearted, but they installed a boxcart sauna to combat this misery. I recommend going during the summer, as majority of the facilities and surrounding area are built upon it. (I went off- season to avoid children as I have bad memories with them) Food was surprisingly good, although I had a bad oul guiness, must’ve been a dodgy batch.

This hotel is my favourite place in the world. The staff, the surroundings, the food, the cleanliness, the facilities are all top class. The beach is amazing - even in November. The breakfast every morning was the best Ive ever had. The staff always remember our family (there’s enough of us) and treat us so well every time we visit. The new facilities such as the hot tub and sauna are a fantastic addition. Walks around the area, a few drinks and great food with attentive, friendly staff, what more could anyone wish for in a holiday? We cannot wait to return again next year.

I'm afraid to leave too good a review that I won't get a future booking! This place is a gem. We've returned as a family groups for years now and it never disappoints. From the initial booking with Marion to arriving at the entrance to see the friendly faces of Kathy and Deane. The accommodation is excellent, the food and drinks never disappoints. The location is stunning, it's the true gem. It's a tonic switching off and getting out no matter what the weather. Thanks again for the great break, Sorcha & Ronan

Just one word MAGICAL! Just back from a trip with my mother and aunt. Straight on arrival we were made feel extremely welcome by Marian at reception. Our room the deluxe suite( which consists of a double & a twin bedroom with a living / dining room, was absolutely beautiful with very tasteful decor and stunning views. The whole place was immaculate. We decided to have dinner in the hotel that evening which I can’t but only describe as exceptional( Quality of food menu and presentation) We had a young lad serving us( sorry didn’t get his name). Lovely and pleasant lad. He made us feel at home. The food was so delicious that we decided to eat there the following night again. The quality and presentation continued at breakfast with all locally sourced produce and great choice of continental and cooked breakfast. I like to thank Dean Kathy Marion Tony and everyone else in the team for a wonderful stay. Definitely be back again and will recommend to any of my friends and family.
