Nice one night stay at the White Sands, looks a little tired from the outside but rooms and bar area really nice. Unfortunately the welcome was not very warm, we did arrive early so thought we would see if the rooms were ready, but the receptionist looked at us as if we had committed some atrocity. All staff we encountered later were very warm and friendly, but first impressions matter.

Very dated room. Bathroom was stained. Mould on the wall behind the curtains. Windows didn’t close properly. Looks like the property is being renovated, but even the newer areas had water damage on the walls. The staff were pleasant and friendly. Didn’t check out the bar or restaurant but there is a lovely Thai takeaway next door.

Great pub with lots of locals and a good pint at a fare price. Food was good for lunch and dinner but the breakfast at $16 euros was just okay. Visit Jordan in the Pub great service. They are renovating the rooms on floor two so if you like to sleep in ask for another floor.

Overpriced for what the quality was. Was convenient area for the airport. Rooms were run down and bathroom was not super clean. Had a restaurant but priced for high for what was offered. Plus side was it’s open until the evening which most in the area are not.
