The Ocean Sands Hotel
Review
Having extensively traveled all over Ireland, I must confess with a touch of embarrassment that this was my first visit to Enniscrone. However, my stay at the Ocean Sands Hotel & Spa has ensured it won't be my last. This hotel, perched elegantly on the coast, offers a blend of comfort, luxury, and stunning views that make for an unforgettable experience.
The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the meal at the hotel's restaurant. With a panoramic view of the breathtaking Atlantic Ocean as my backdrop, I indulged in a mixed fish dish that was nothing short of exquisite. The fish was fresh, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented, making it one of the best seafood meals I've had in Ireland.
The spa at the Ocean Sands Hotel is another gem. Ideal for couples seeking relaxation, it offers a range of treatments that are both rejuvenating and reasonably priced. The ambiance is serene and welcoming, providing the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Accommodation at the hotel is top-notch, with a variety of rooms and apartments that cater to different needs and preferences. My room was spacious, well-appointed, and offered a stunning view of the ocean. The hotel's location makes it an excellent base for exploring both County Sligo and County Mayo. Whether you're here for the scenic beauty, the rich history, or the outdoor activities, you'll find that the Ocean Sands Hotel provides a convenient and comfortable home away from home.
In summary, the Ocean Sands Hotel & Spa in Enniscrone is a fantastic destination for anyone looking to experience the best of Ireland's west coast. From its delectable dining options and relaxing spa to its ideal location and cozy accommodations, this hotel has something for everyone. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit.
