Connemara Sands Hotel & Spa

Gorgeous place. We will definitely be back. The staff are so friendly and the food in the restaurant is delicious. The hotel has a lovely relaxed vibe and the rooms we stayed in were clean and really well laid out. I wish I could have stayed longer.

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!!!.

The Connemara Sands is an ideal location for a relaxing break. Superb service, food, and facilities all combine to create a relaxing atmosphere. We had lunch in the Sands bar before our jacuzzi, seaweed bath, sauna, and sea swim experience. This was followed by a delicious dinner with a fabulous selection of food and drink. We were surprised to have live music in the bar that night also! The following morning we had a fresh to order hot breakfast, and more time in the sea! The staff of the Sands went beyond expectations throughout our stay.

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.

Amazing staff & lovely food. I had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make me feel welcome. The rooms were spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. The location was perfect—close to everything, yet quiet enough for a peaceful night’s sleep. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with a great variety of fresh options. Every detail felt thoughtful and refined. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I can’t wait to return!
