This hotel is a little gem. With private access to the beach for the kids and a tennis court. The hotel self catering suite is ideal for families two bedrooms kitchen bathroom and access to the sea **** bath beach and sauna that you can book online. The Resturant is 5 star with oysters, fresh sea food beautiful scallops and lobster pie with puff pastry to name a few. Marion on reception is so helpful she can’t do though to help even filling the seaweed bath for me! The staff are very friendly in general and very nice to the children they are very welcome in the restaurant. Very Good cocktails. Despite cold August we enjoyed our stay very much.

Great location, right on the beach with a sauna beside the waters edge. Relaxing in the seaweed baths was a real treat. Accommodation was excellent and food quality was exceptional. Overall well worth a stay. The staff were so helpful and could not do enough to help you at all times.

This is undoubtedly one of the best run and managed hotels in the country. Room was lovely, very well designed and equipped, and everything worked. Food was excellent, carefully curated menus, perfectly prepared and generous. Has EV charging. Location lovely.

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. 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. This hotel was overpriced compared to all the other hotels, in Ireland, which we stayed in.

What a wonderful stay we had at Connemara sands. It’s a gorgeous little hotel in a perfect location with plenty facilitates nearby in Cliften. The nearby beach is just stunning too and plenty other beauty spots nearby. We stayed in a 2 bedroom room which was perfectly equipped and very spacious - a necessity given we had our 1 year old daughter with us. Tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Lovely terrace area which was accessed from the lounge area. Staff were wonderful, I really wish I could remember her name but the dark-haired lady on reception from near Roundstone was fantastic. She was great with our little girl and couldn’t do more to help. Food in the restaurant was fantastic and there was a great selection of drinks. Breakfast was gorgeous and I’ve since found myself comparing other hotels to it on many occasion. A lovely calm setting with a fantastic selection of food with great service. I’m gutted this hotel is so far away from us (we’re in NE Scotland) as we would happily return again and again. Keep up the good work.

Gets better and better! Just back from our second stay in the Connemara Sands Hotel. A little gem perched on the most stunning white sandy beach in Connemara… Our highlight has to be the sea sauna with Irelands most instagrammable sauna view…words can’t describe it! Bedrooms are more than comfortable with voya products, white linens and bright scenic views. The food in the hotel is exceptional, Stand-outs are the lobster pie, monkfish skewers and slow cooked lamb. I can see why it’s a favourite for locals. Thank you for such an exceptional stay and especially to Marion who has the patience of a saint and was so obliging, helpful and friendly throughout our stay… we are already looking forward to our next visit!

We had a great few days at the Connemara Sands Hotel , everything was fabulous, from the great staff who were always at hand to help you out, to the spacious rooms overlooking the beach, the beds were great and so comfortable and spotlessly clean. Overall a wonderful couple of days and will look forward to returning again.

We stayed at the Connemara Sands for 4 nights earlier this month. Situated just 200m from the beach, with fantastic views of Mannin Bay, etc. We had booked a Superior suite, which more than met our needs. We opted to dine in the restaurant on two occasions, food was amazing. My wife had buttered scallops both nights, mine was almond crusted salmon, & the most tender lamb shoulder imaginable. Breakfast on each morning offered a huge range and quality, both hot & cold. Despite intending to, we didn't use any of the sauna, seaweed bath, or other facilities. All of the staff we encountered were super friendly, and would enquire as to how your day was. Typical West of Ireland experience there. However, something that I feel sums up the customer service ethos. My wife & I arrived separately, as I had cycled some of the way. She ordered a coffee & scone in the bar area. Coffee was delivered and shortly after, when she enquired about the scone, they told that there were none left, & that they were currently baking one especially for her. Now, that's impressive. We will return for sure.
