I stayed in the White Sands, Portmarnock because of the location. It was close to friends that live nearby and also a very nice view of the water and the beach. The room was clean and everything that did not work properly was quickly remidied (door key didnt work right the second day and dead batteries in the tv remote).... more

When we first got to the White Sands we were given a horrible unclean room and did not sleep well we asked to change rooms as we were staying for three nights but we could not be changed until our last night. The room was noisy due to the nightclub there and in a morning there were broken bottles outside... more

Having read the previous reviews, I was a little dubious about booking the hotel in light of the "nightclub", but decided to go ahead anyway. Upon arrival, we had a few difficulties in our reservation. This had not been done, so we had to "make do" with a ground floor seaview room depsite requesting a good room on the reservation.... more

Stayed at the White Sands from the 18th thru 21st of aug/08, and it was great! We had two rooms, and they were clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff was great - we did have a problem with something in the room, and it was quickly remedied. The breakfast was great, served by very cheerful staff. The location was great...one... more

If you want to sleep 2-3 hours a night this is a great place to stay. The staff lie and misrepresent noise levels. Tuesday night we had Karokee Night until 3.00 a.m. - the walls shook with booming base noise. I was about to check out next morning with my family when I was informed that the hotel would be,... more

Having recently returned from a short stay at this hotel I have decided that I will never be back. There are lots of problems with this hotel, the condition of the rooms, poor quality breakfasts, staff that don't really care if you have a problem, and it is extremely noisy. We booked a non-smoking room and we were given a... more

Decided to treat ourselves and book a Hotel for the night. The Sands was perfect. Checked in on a Saturday afternoon. Room was lovely and modern, comfortable and clean. Hotel is right beside the beach and after a nice walk returned to the bar for a drink. Good mix of people in the bar from locals to people out visiting... more

The White Sands Hotel is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at, they say that the hotel is family run, family run? If you want to get to sleep, forget it, you would have a better nights sleep if you lie down onto the road outside. What they don’t tell you is that there is a night club 5... more
