“The White Sands Hotel occupies a prized spot directly on Ballyheigue's Blue Flag beach, a prime draw. It seems a classically styled, family-run place where you'll find genuine local flavor, especially with the live music in the bar. While some might find it a touch dated, its blend of affordability, community engagement, and seaside access feels compelling.”
