Connemara Sands Hotel & Spa

We spent a lovely afternoon here! It was our first visit despite coming to the Ballyconneely region for many years. A welcome hour in the sauna overlooking the strand followed by a pint of Guinness in the comfortable bar. We then enjoyed an excellent dinner served up to us by Susan who was more than a match for us! Service with a smile as indeed was the case with the entire team. Thumbs up also to the young barman who mixed brilliant cocktails for us with great aplomb!

Another relaxing stay here. The surroundings are perfect with beautiful headland walk. Remote beaches, Connemara ponies..Chilled vibe at hotel. If weather allows, sitting on deck outside our room with a drink is nice way to spend the evening. The restaurant is better than anything in Clifden. Will definitely be back.

We could not recommend this hotel highly enough, it was a pleasure to stay in. Dean, Cathy and his family together with his wonderful staff were so helpful and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious! There is so much to do onsite from the private access to the beach, hot tubs and sauna, just a lovely getaway in the West of Ireland. The music provided in the bar was fantastic, really lively and we even got to play the bodhran which added to the craic. If you are looking for comfort, good food and drink and to take in all the sights of Ballyconneely, Clifden and neighboring towns you can't go wrong with the Connemara Sands Hotel!!!.

This os the best hotel breakfast I've ever had. They make everything they can from scratch and it shows. I had 3 dinners and a lunch here and every meal was sensational. Its a stylish, very comfortable hotel, a 3 minute walk from a private beach that looks tropical. Comes with a sauna, hot tubs, seaweed baths. The staff couldn't be nicer and I've already booked to come back

Superb experience. The ideal place from which to explore Connemara. Stylish hotel appartment, very well equipped. Very comfortable bed. Wonderful sea view and beautiful sandy beach (private access, just a 3-minute walk from the room). A very relaxing place. Dean and Kathy are lovely hosts. My only regret is to not have spent more time. We will definitely come back.
