We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights on the 31/01/12 as part of the KGB deal and i must say it was excellent !

The staff were very friendly and the reception staff were very helpful.

The Breakfast in the morning was very nicely presented and hot too !!

The situation of the hotel was Fab just across the road from the beach where the views were stunning and it was also a short walk (40 mins) to the local village Malahide.

Thank-you to all Staff at the hotel - we w,ill be returning in the summer.

We stayed in the White Sands Hotel on the 28th and 29th January. Staff were very pleasant, helpful and accommodating.

Our room was very clean, comfortable and warm.

If you have your own transport, Portmarnock is a great base from which to visit north county Dublin, and has Malahide and Howth just a few miles down the road.

We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly return.

My Husband and I got married on the 6 august 2011 and had our wedding reception

here at the White Sands Hotel.We would like to thank Helen who is the wedding

co-ordinator and all the staff for all there kind help and attention for making our

wedding day so special.We could not have asked for anything more it was

perfect in every way.We would have know hesitation in recommending the

White Sands Hotel for your special day.

We stayed twice in one week due to family arriving in from different parts of the world and needing a place to stay while waiting for planes to arrive/depart I found this hotel online offering a good deal and after nearly falling over by the quote we got from the Grand Hotel Malahide of 179e with NO breakfast we scooted over to Portmarnock and were checked in in a flash. My fiancee and our enterage ate three times in the hotel in the evenings. There was a meal deal which included chicken wings with a house sauce which everyone thought was yummy. We stayed in the old part of the hotel the first time and the room was overstuffy but adequate in towels, clean sheets Tv could have had more channels.
On the two occasions we stayed the breakfast was quite early in the morning and there seemed to be only one person on serving - Cold and rather empty we didnt care we were heading off early and it served its function. The second visit was a two nighter and we stayed in the 'modern' part of the hotel which had interconnecting doors and was very adequate for your needs however i didnt like the idea of us being looked in on by the rooms at the other side of the courtyard.They really need potted grasses or trees to shade the nakedness of that space.
There are plenty of bus connections into the city centre 32a/b will get you there in about 3/4s of an hour and go back from Middle Abbey Street. We had a really nice afternoon shopping and came home to a nice steak and bottle of wine.
Now for the only negative thing i have to say about the place. We were woken up by a) the noise from that nightclub and b) a fire alarm (first time I apparently slept through it!) which went off at 2am and again at 8am not impressed at all...so take note hotel management you need to sort out the staff using the emergency exits first thing in the morning.
Also we experienced the broken airconditioning and the lights were impossible to figure out and nearly went mad listening to the fan in the bathroom until i shut the door!
The staff make up more than enough for the few niggles we had Ann was very efficient and friendly and the bar staff accommodating -keep up the good work, try and get more people staying there as the views of howth, irelands eye and lambay are stunning ... thank you for looking after us
