Stayed here for three nights with my partner in October and had a great time.

The plus points are as follows:
Lovely public areas.
Lots of facilities including indoor pool, outdoor hot tub and Tennis courts.
Very nice restaurant serving wonderful food.
Good choice of food at breakfast which is served, i think, up to 11am.
Excellent hotel bar and public bar, prices quite reasonable.
Very helpful and enthusiastic staff.
Hotel situated right on the coast overlooking Galway bay.

Minus points are:
Rooms could do with refurbishment, not really up to 4 star standard.
Very little to do in the immediate area of the hotel.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay here but if we visited Ireland again we would probably look to stay in Clifden which is about an hours drive from Galway. We only visited Clifden for a few hours but it seemed like a lovely town and was situated right on the coast with some wonderful surrounding scenary.

we stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and had dinner there the first night - total cost 480 euro

this is a hotel which needs some money pumped into it. Our room was a standard double, it was clean but old fashioned - for instance there was a patterned bedspread on the bed - what is wrong with a clean white duvet?????? The bathroom needs to be regrouted and the showers need a pump badly. The bathroom was also very cramped and the towels are a bit overused......

The swimming pool and spa were ok, but again a bit dated - i wonder when the outdoor hot tub was last cleaned .....

The food in the restaurant was mediocre - i had a veg thai curry - the sauce was not homemade, by any stretch of the imagination. brekkie on day 1 was overcooked, day 2 was fine

overall, this is a hotel living on its location. it is dated and overpriced

We were on a Brendan tour and spent a night at Connemara Coast Hotel. It was a true delight . What can I say but that watching the sun set on Galway Bay and hearing the song of that same title being sung in the pub is something I will always remember. We had a wonderful dinner in the dining room in the evening and a filling breakfast in the morning before setting off on the bus to continue our tour. Our room had a lovely view. We strolled down by the water's edge after dinner and it was so peaceful and quiet. The weather was ideal with not a cloud in the sky. They also had a fun pub with a entertaining fellow playing his guitar. Hope we get to return someday.

As all the reviews have said the views from most rooms are excellent, however, on our first night there we were given a room which only overlooked the restaurant terrace. You could just about see the sea if you stood on tip toe!

Unfortunately that evening there was a large wedding in the function rooms and as the weather was hot after the music finished at around 01.30, people continued to talk outside on the terrace into the very small hours. As the rooms do not have air conditioning it was necessary to have the window open if you wanted to sleep however the party prevented that. I suspect that many of the people with rooms on the Galway side of the hotel wee kept awake late into the night.

The next morning we changed rooms to the Atlantic side and what a difference that made. Great views and a good nights sleep.

It is not surprising that this hotel is popular for weddings. The food is great and in general the accommodation and staff are superb too.
