Stopped in here to have dinner with my wife. Great waitress, food was delicious and a lovely pint. Very nice outdoor area at the rear of the hotel that had the late afternoon/ evening sun. Probably the best value for money dinner/quality that we had on our break in Tramore. Highly recommend.

Guest reviews
The Sands Hotel averages 3.7 out of 5 across 167 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
We spent a day in Tramore on the beach and decided to eat here as a break from the fast food outlets. We arrived and were sat outside which was fair enough as it was nice weather. After having to take menus from the front desk as no one seemed interested in serving us, we were finally seen to. As we had a baby and infant in our company, this hotel did not offer us a baby chair, nor did they provide a baby bowl or a sandwich for the children . A first in an Irish bar. The menu looked good at what they offered, but it came out on plastic plates. The hot dog was just a dry sausage in a bun without sauce or onions or anything!, and the chips were burnt to a crisp. We got sauce sachets handed…
There was 7 girls on floor just slowly walking around chewing gum and not making eye contact so had ask to be served then waited over 30 minutes for breakfast which was awful we had to ask for toast and then ask for teas and no side plates the manager was just as bad while there was about 10 waiting to dealt with he decided to have a staff meeting so we had to wait for out tea there was not one happy customer while we were there anyway. One man must have got up 10 times to sort things for his table anyway my advice would be to avoid it
