Connemara Sands Beach Hotel & Spa

We had a great family weekend at the hotel with our kids at the end of October mid term break. Lovely beach 5 minutes walk away. Holiday homes were well stocked and had everything that we needed. Great food at the hotel which was an added bonus to our trip. We will definitely return again.

Booked this place months ago. Site said they had a self catering family cottage. They didn’t. They called to let us know they didn’t have cottages but apartment type room, a few days after booking. An hour before arriving after a day of travel & site seeing they called to say there were electrical issues and they could put us in a suit with same number of beds but no kitchen. Let us know they had restraunt there. We accepted the different room, but what else can you do on long weekend at 6 pm at night. They would make reservations for us if we wanted. We chose to eat in town we visit in the day as the resultant prices for our family to have breakfast was to be €40 Next morning however I was curious & went back to site to see what room rate difference was. Found site changed to state only rooms , no self catering rooms at all. They also included breakfast in room cost. We called to ask if they would comp our breakfast & were told us as welcome binder stated we could get a discount. A while later they called back & said basic breakfast was free for Easter. So the hotel made up some of the issue with a free breakfast. Still all in all we had to pay for a few more meals out over our long weekend due to not having what we paid for. If we hadn’t gotten such a good deal for our original rate I’d be unhappy with this stay.
