Very nice hotel. Reasonably priced for an overnight stay included breakfast for 2. Breakfast was fabulous. Hotel is right across from the beach, so we were able to enjoy a lovely autumnal beach walk. Great music in the bar.
Lovely staff, really good breakfast and nice food in he bar. we had a nice big bedroom in the new section but it did smell that it hadnt been used or heated in a while apart from that everything was really good, was in another room in old part of hotel and lovely warm room . would stay again location and views are lovely from from of hotel, ask for a sea facing room, unfortunately mine wasn't.
Stayed one night in this hotel , staff were friendly and helpful, food was good and room was comfortable and had a great view of the Portmarnock strand . I would recommend this hotel and would stay again.
Lovely hotel, staff very helpful. Great price with Lidl breaks. We had a sea view & ate in the bar. The meal was excellent. Would definately stay here again
Stayed here for two nights ,Hotel is in need of some TLC Eg new carpets but we had a lovely quiet room with Sea view and it had all the comforts we needed. We ate in the Hotel Restaurant on the first night which was very good .Hotel staff were very helpful and we would stay again .Good Dart links into Dublin centre
Enjoyed our stay, Staff and Management went out of their way to help, Will definitely stay again thanks Michael Mc Donnell

I booked this hotel for my son and his new wife. He was so disgusted with the run-down exterior of the hotel, the cramped bedroom that felt like a prison cell and the faded bed lined he refused to stay and cancelled the booking. Very disapointing. Zero rating. The receptionist was nice. Noreen Meyler
we found the hotel to be a very nice hotel but have one gripe. we booked a weekend stay in a double room to celebrate my 40th a have time away from the kids one of which still sleeps in our bed but when we checked in we did get a double room but 2 single beds pushed together with 2 single mattresses not attached so they kept seperating if we tried to cuddle even. not what we were expecting and genuinely the only problem we had. the staff were very pleasant and professional and the hotel itself was very clean. all in all a nice weekend apart from the bed situation
I really enjoyed my stay in Sands hotel. It's a lovely hotel, very clean and cosy with friendly staff. The hotel bar is really nice and relaxing and breakfast next morning was very tasty. I would stay in this hotel again, it's in a great location and Lidl Breaks offer great value for money
The hotel room was very modern, clean and tidy. I didn't like the fact that the meal which I thought was going to be in the hotel restaurant was in fact, similar to pub grub in their bar. Due to the lack of staff, it was approximately 30 minutes before we received the menus after being seated. The meal itself was average. Although the bar was by no means busy, approximately 20-30 patrons, it still took 5 minutes to be served by staff who couldn't care less. The fire alarm sounded twice during the night without reason or explanation. The breakfast the following morning was also average with a poor selection of cold meats and cheeses for a continental breakfast. Again, lack of staff. Two latex gloves covered two smoke detectors in the restaurant which sums up this hotel, nobody cares! I would never set foot in this hotel again after our experience here. What was supposed to be a romantic, relaxing break, especially for my wife, ended up being a nightmare. As hotel breaks go, it wasn't expensive but thats not the point, it still will take me sometime to pay it off my credit card. I couldn't recommend this hotel to anyone, thank you.
This was not my first time to stay in a hotel booked through lidl breaks and I do find them great value for money, unfortunately I didn’t feel the white sands hotel lived up to other hotels I have stayed in .When it came to ordering our meal for dinner (which was bar food) & again for breakfast, the service was extremely slow ( although the staff serving me seemed to be rushed off their feet!!). The dinner was mediocre and we had an extra charge for ordering the steak & Salmon for our main course which I don’t think was highlighted at the booking stage. The staff were nice , the room was just ok but the fire alarm sounding at 2am and again at 7am added to an already disappointing stay.
we enjoyed our two night stay in the white sands. It was clean comfortable and the reception staff were very friendly. breakfast was just o k. not great choice expecially the fresh fruit or lack of ;; bedrooms were very nice and very clean . Im sure this must be really beautiful in the summer with the beach just across the road with really nice walks.
The hotel is nothing like it looks in the pictures, although the staff were nice everything else failed to meet expectations. The room was average for a hotel of its rating but that could be forgiven. Dinner was in a bar beside a pool table with poor service. On asking the waitress for a glass of wine with dinner she asked me to go order at the bar. When the food arrived it was presented well but on further inspection it was raw red in the middle. We had the option of ordering another meal which too turned out to be under cooked. The rooms are not soundproof and after the nightclub was finished down stairs the party proceeded into the hallway until 6am. I must say the breakfast was nice with friendly service but a little to late to enjoy the experience.
