White Sands Hotel

The facilities are great, the staff were amazing, and the location was very convenient. We were walking distance from so many places to get musubi, which was very important.

The swing tiki bar was a blast. The staff were wonderful.

RJ is our new friend. He’s awesome. Extremely hospitable.

RJ is awesome and such a good guy. He’s so helpful

Play garbage loud music every Thursday annoying the neighbors. Best to avoid this dump!!!

We did our 50th birthdays here and will be back soon for sure! Great spot for staycation too. RJ was so kind, and accommodating. All the staff had much aloha to share. RJ made us feel like queens! Many Mahalos 🙏🏽💕🙏🏽

The location was perfect! Walking to all the best Waikiki has to offer but off the main road. The atmosphere took me back into a time when tropical oasis existed on an intimate level. The rooms were decorated to match the vibe and were spacious with all the amenities you need for a stay away from home. The value made this destination a must! Rooms and hotel were clean and well kept. We were on the ground floor and went to bed early, it was a bit noisy but worth it for the DJ/Party being so close to my bed. lol. The service at the front desk was by far the best! I was shocked to learn the front desk employee was only 19 years old. He was so friendly, attentive, and welcoming.
He made me never want to leave.

Received world class service from RJ at the front desk. He was so awesome!! So nice and helpful, made my stay so special!

Stayed at the white sands for a 50th birthday celebration with my girls and we had the most excellent time. The front desk staff was so friendly and helpful. RJ made our stay feel extra special with his warm hospitality and accommodation.

Very relaxing, good staff. Couldn’t ask for a better stay

Retro feel- poolside ambiance- garden and koi pond view-amenities like beach chairs to use- closeness to Waikiki beach

The White Sands is a perfect hotel for those who want a less commercial and overdone chain experience. The place has style and a great staff. The pool/bar area has great energy and lots of great music and people. The speak easy was and extra bit of kitsch. All around good time. We will be back. Prices are very reasonable also. The happy hour is a great deal and California residents get a discount.

I would rate 4 out of 5 just for minor hiccups. Was surprised that they don’t have elevator though ; gladly we didn’t have a huge luggage to carry towards the stairway. Other than that, the two front desk of which one attended to me right away and checked that we can already be at our room which was awesome! Thank you… Also, when I request for a room clean up & new towels, I waited & was explained by Myra that she had to do first that needed attention for new guests. I totally understand and we clicked coz we both are from the Philippines islands. Thanks Myra for attending my needs & extras.

This is an honest review of the hotel you may not see otherwise:
Pros -
Good pool area with cute bar
Hidden bar/speakeasy is a plus
Reception staff very nice
Location great but really Waikiki area so small that any hotel here is walkable

Cons -
Rooms old and musty with tiny bathrooms. Big disappointment
This place in great need of renovation
Housekeeping was pretty bad and non-existent
Get more beach chairs!

- Sehr schickes, kleineres Hotel mit super Lage.
- Grosse Zimmer, sauber und sympathisches Personal.
- Schöne Oase in Waikiki, mit eigener Poolbar.

The pool and bar a vibe I would stay at a different hotel and visit only. I would not recommend staying here. The smell down by the ice machine and walking up to the rooms was terrible. It’s a mix of pee and zoo. The rooms were nice to see we had a balcony and a table but the bed was just not something you’d expect at a hotel. The comforter for the beds it’s self are thin top sheets they’re both completely see through they give you two. The sheets over the mattress itself came off every night and we are not crazy sleepers never has that even happened at my home or any other hotel. The bathroom has no vet fan to help with humidity and you can smell it. The bathroom door if closed smells like wet mold and there are black spots on the walls where they have you hang towels and near the shower it’s self. The shower curtain was just a see through sheet piece that was always wet and just grossed me out every time I touched it.

The staff were super friendly and the bar was nice for a sunset drink. Also the rooms were very cute.

We absolutely love the White Sands Hotel and staff. It is the only place we stay when on Oahu. We love it so much we come twice a year! It is truly our happy place. Relaxing, authentic, delicious and overall the vibe you want when on the island. Its location is perfect and the rooms are so beautiful and comfortable. I can’t say enough good things about it. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
