Home from the best family weekend, we had a larger group of 9 adults and 6 children, the houses and hotel rooms were amazing, the cleanliness, hospitality and facilities were second to none. The food itself is another level from breakfast to evening meal we have never experienced anything like it. We all hope to return next year and make it an annual holiday.

Our family are just back from the Conemara Sands Hotel, Ballyconeely. We had such an amazing experience from food, having our own private beach with sauna & hot tubs. Accommodation was perfect. Would definitely recommend a visit. Thanks to Dean, Cathy & all the staff member. Will definitely be back soon 👌

We were so excited to stay here after reading the reviews. The staff on reception left us waiting alone at reception for 20 minutes even though we arrived nearly an hour after check in time. When we finally got our suite, the floor was wet -like it was only just cleaned at 5pm. The TV didn’t work either so we had to go back to reception to ask for help. The patio areas for each suite run into the next so we had many people walk up our section and look into our rooms when they were not staying in our area. It would be easy to divide these with plants for some sort of privacy for the guests. The breakfast is amazing and by far the best hotel breakfast I have had in years. The wait staff are so lovely and do add to the experience of staying here. We dined in the bistro on night one so wanted to avail of the food truck on night two. Reception advised us this opened at 6pm and to order at the bar. When we tried to we were told it only opened for lunch and it was too late for us to get anything so we had to go to Clifden for food. I really wanted to enjoy this stay especially considering the cost but was left very disappointed. The potential is there but it felt very short staffed during our stay and that was reflected in how the guests were treated.
