Room was spacious and clean, staff were sparse at times but all very helpful and cheerful. The area is even more gorgeous than we imagined! All food was spectacular, decadent, and very well presented. Couldve used additional staff for dinner service, but hard to complain when the food and drink was so fantastic.

This hotel was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. Though we met kind strangers and viewed indescribable beauty in our travels around Ireland, the isolated, quiet and luxury of the Connemara Sands was a balm for our souls and a treat to the senses. The menu was thoughtful and the food first class; the accommodations were roomy and tasteful with views of the Connemara landscape and sheep roaming cliffside. A special thank you to staff member, Marion who was there every morning to greet us with a cheery smile , recommendations and true Irish hospitality. We will return to this beautiful haven.

We spent 2 wonderful nights here! It’s beautiful. The food and staff were great. I’d definitely recommend a spa treatment or 2.

Hotel was geared mainly for people using the spaas there was no guest lounge to seat in and read. We paid extra to have a room with a sitting room so we could sit and read. Breakfast was brilliant lots of different choices and tasty. We booked the hotel for three days and found very little space to put your clothes. The restaurant was good but quite expensive.
