I had 3 kids and we stayed in the family room and the stay was very nice, clean, staff friendly. The only down fall is there is only one price €15 for breakfast. 1 child had a croissant and this cost me €15
I think there should be a cheaper price for kids.

We had booked for 1 night in Ocean Sands but Enniscrone so beautiful & thankfully there was availability in the B&B next door where we could avail of the ocean Sands facilities so we checked in for a 2nd night..
Family gathering but unfortunately 2 couples with very tired & young children didn't get into their rooms till 6pm following an afternoon on the beach ...
Overall, v welcoming hotel,couldn't fault our stay & will definitely be back there.
Dog friendly which was a decider for some families.

Family Trip
Hotel is perfectly placed for the beach and exploring. Dinner in the restaurant was great and breakfast was brilliant with lots of variety. Staff were really helpful. Family room was really spacious and a comfortable quiet sleep. Beautiful hotel, however if you look too close, you'll see some parts could really do with a little bit of tlc. Overall a fabulous hotel.

The staff are very pleasant, the lobby and restaurant are nice, however once you get to your room it’s clear the property needs some deep cleaning and/or renovation. All in all not bad, just a bit steep in price for the quality of the room.

Really nice hotel.
We had a lovely stay at the ocean sands hotel. We're a family of five and the kids really enjoy they're stay, we only stayed one night but would of loved to stay longer. Location is gorgeous, hotel is right next to the beach so excellent for little ones. Had dinner in the restaurant which was stunning, prices were great for the quality of food we were served. My only negative is that our room was fairly cold when we arrived but it warmed up quick enough once we put on the heaters. Lovely hotel staff in all areas. Id definitely recommend a stay here.

Nice but not 4*
We had one of the apartments with a balcony detached from the actual hotel and up a flight of stairs. Room was tastefully decorated and bathroom was amazing but needed balcony repairs, replacing dead plants in window boxes and walls in bedroom had a lot of scuffs and high window was filthy with cobwebs. Bed comfortable but provided with an oil filled radiator didn’t make sense as temp gauge on wall? Nice touches like nespresso machine and mini fridge (which is noisy) but be prepared for no WiFi connection as we tried for entire stay and never got connected . Other thing to be careful with if a function on these apartments can’t hide from the noise and there was a lot last night so always pre check before booking

Great Dog Friendly Hotel
We chose this hotel as we could bring out 2 dogs. The hotel is very dog friendly with areas that you can eat and socialise with your dog as well as great dog friendly rooms. Our room had lots of space and was very comfortable for us all. Perfect position right in the town but also a right by the beach. Parking was very easy, the buffet breakfast was lovely with plenty of choices and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
We will certainly consider staying here again.

WiFi did not work
Front desk thought it was reboot issue
However; WiFi poor throughout multiple days and alternative parts of complex
They need more routers in garden buildings and breakfast area
