We were so excited to stay at ocean sands and we got there after check in time and had to wait almost 30 minutes for our room. The staff was not friendly at the front desk or at breakfast. We booked an ocean view room and ocean view was a stretch. You could see the sand on the beach and if you stood on the corner of the balcony and leaned over you could barely see the ocean. The resort does not look anything like the photos. Our room was not clean, the shower was not clean, and we were in bed and a HUGE spider crawled down the curtains. I was ready to pack my stuff up and leave at that point. Also, breakfast was just terrible. I didn’t end up eating anything. Super disappointed in this hotel. 1000% would never stay there again.

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.

Enniscrone May BH 2025

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.
