We have stayed in the Connemara Sands Hotel several times down through the years and it has never disappointed. The location is amazing but it's the warm,relaxed atmosphere that makes it extra special. Marion at reception was friendly and helpful as were the staff in the spa and the restaurant. We enjoyed relaxing treatments in the spa and the outdoor jacuzzi was a wonderful new addition especially on a drizzling Connemara day. The food was delicious and the service perfect. We went to relax for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We arrived in September as a couple from clare looking for a relaxing getaway, greeted by a lovely women called Marian in reception, she was exceptional, professional and friendly she really does go out of her way for everyone, nothing is a bother to her , she is a credit to the hotel , we got a beautiful two bed suite overlooking the bay , everything was spotless and so comfortable and cozy , the food was top class and the service from all members of staff was excellent, breakfast was amazing, variety from a beautiful Buffet to full irish and pancakes, everything was perfect for our stay , the outdoor sauna , jacuzzi and seaweed baths are a must ♥️ the owners are really lovely people and work exceptionally hard we can't wait to return 😀

We booked 3 nights at the hotel.We stayed in one of their houses along with our 2 dogs everything was first class .After eating in the restaurant the first evening we then ate all our breakfasts and dinners at the hotel because it was that good.The large sandy beach at the hotel is great and there are more nearby all thoroughly enjoyed by our dogs who love to swim.We pretty much had the beaches all to ourselves. The staff at the hotel were fantastic we were given a table in the corner of the restaurant were we could accommodate our dogs. Thanks to all
