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 😀

Lovely hotel , staff is very helpful and super friendly . Room was excellent . A very special mention for the restaurant , the food was phenomenal . Breakfast was also excellent . We only stayed 2 nights there but are thinking on returning next year for a few days more . When we were in Dublin we noticed the hotel was listed in the 100 list of hotels to stay in Ireland .
