Connemara Sands Beach Hotel & Spa

Connemara Sands Beach Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel, restaurant and property were beautiful! Everything was beyond perfect. The beach and the grounds were lovely and all the amenities were very nice. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was prepared by an exceptional chef. This is definitely an unforgettable experience to stay there with its close proximity to the Sky Road, Kylemore Abbey and Connemara national park."

The Boat Inn

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed at the property for two nights. The bed was about right for a single person in the room was quite small but impeccably clean as I understand. It’s very new. I tried to book again for the weekend, but the price was extremely high and I decided to go elsewhere. I found it fascinating that it was a digital check-in, but it was fast and efficient. Please note if you’re carrying luggage, you have to carry that upstairs if you’re older and your luggage is heavy that might be a consideration for you. Please note you also park on the street which was a little difficult during dinner time. I temporarily parked behind the Tesco. Overall, I would stay again during the week as the price was reasonable for the area."
