    Closed down.... have you tried the Majestic or the Grand Hotel.

    Hotel choice in Tramore is not great tbh. Try a guest house you might have better luck. But given that it's a Bank holiday weekend and there's a lot going on especially the Spraoi, you might have left it a bit late

    Try this

    Moving to Waterford County

    The Sands Hotel is closed a while now. You have the Majestic, The Grand and O'Shea's. Otherwise, you can go with B&B's. Or Self Catering apartments / houses / Caravan & Camping. :)

    Passed The Sands earlier today. Outside is getting a lick of paint and looked like the fridges are getting restocked.

    Anybody know if it has a new owner or whats happening down there. A bit late in the season to be opening up, but better late than never i suppose.

    Don't know, don't think it was ever released publicly. It went up for sale pretty quickly after it was taken from Freddie and there was one attempt at re-opening it but it didn't materialise.

    I got my first pint in there, 16 years old, it was a great place to get a pint when you were underage.

    Spent 5 summers of my youth working there.

    Hell on earth to work sometimes but the staff were a great craic, it's what kept me working there. Changed for the better when Freddie took over.

    Good to see it back open and always seems to be a few in there when I pass.

    It's the same hotel, was originally opened as the Marine Hotel in the mid 1800s.
