Connemara Sands Beach Hotel & Spa

Excellent restaurant.

This is a really good hotel if you want a quiet location with a great view and want to relax. Set on a remote coastal road, with its own beach surrounded by farmland with cows and horses The hotel has a variety of rooms, but we liked the Premier Deluxe room which is exclusively for adilts and has ocean views, a wet room shower, self standing bath and a bedroom on a mezanine floor. The hotel provides 2 padel courts, tennis, spa treatments, water acrivities and has 2 sauna huts at its own beach. It caters for families and couples alike although perhaps is not suitable for very young children as the activities are aimed a little older. There is a lively bar and restaurant and breakfasts are excelent. Restaurant food is very good although we felt the vegetables were perhaps unnecessarily covered in syrups and sauces and there was little variety if you wanted something plain. No salads for example. Having said that, we had no complaints and loved the fact that all ingredients are sourced locally. The staff are helpful and friendly. The location is a little remote with the nearest town 10 miles away, so you are a bit cut off if you want to go out in the evening, but the hotel is a delightful place to stay. It is dog friendly.

Loved the location on the beach.

Wonderful family run hotel on a stunning beach with excellent food!
