This was my first ever visit to Hawai'i and my partner and I stayed 8 nights here at White Sands Hotel. I loved how friendly and helpful the staff was. Our room was clean, we loved the hot tub, and loved how close the hotel was in walking distance to so many things in Waikiki. We loved that we were able to borrow beach chairs for free as well. The food was good and a great option for us when we didn't want to leave the hotel area. We also loved the slushies and breakfast burritos at the front desk. The one thing that was kind of a bummer was that we had to valet our car every day/night because we had no other option and it got a little pricey. But even with that, the valet staff was super welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

The staff was really nice and helpful but for the price you pay to stay here the amenities just aren’t there. The bar is right in the middle and very noisy so no matter what room you get you will hear music until about 10:30-11 pm even though the bar closes at 9pm. Plus for the price, most of the drinks are tiny compared to the price tag. The pool is also right in the middle of everything so you hear all the people and the entrance is constantly wet. It also says that the rooms were all renovated recently but they don’t look it. The room we stayed in has some pretty bad water damage in the bathroom. The door and the wall were peeling and the wood was puffy from water also the shower is very small. And lastly I’m not sure what’s going on but I think the pipes are messed up. Everytime you or anyone else uses water there’s a scary loud banging in the wall. That, coupled with the springs in your back from the bed, the hole in the sheets and the noisy outside make for a terrible nights sleep. So although I appreciated the staff the hotel just isn’t worth the price you pay. My stay was almost 3,000 dollars and I came back exhausted and riddled with hip and back pain. And side note the restaurant IS the bar and again for the price, the foods nothing to write home about and they have a weird no outside food after 9pm policy. Staffs great! Everything else needs work.

The bar was well stocked and fun atmosphere. My room was clear thoroughly and staff were always available and helpful to our concerns. Our room was great for what we paid for. It was close to the strip of restaurants. This is our second time staying here and we enjoyed the accessibility of being close to the beach.

I booked 2 rooms, upon check in they said they only had one on their records and I had to pull up my confirmation email to confirm. I checked in later at night and they ended up giving me a room that already had folks sleeping inside. Went downstairs to inform the person that checked us in and he said he was going to give us an upgrade but it wasn’t an upgrade. The rooms were also only cleaned once in our 4 night stay. But the extent of the cleaning consisted of making the bed and emptying the trash cans. It feels more of a motel instead of a hotel.

$50 per night valet parking, sometimes hard to find the valet person, hard to find a place in front to even use the valet. I had to drag down three heavy suitcases when I left, and no one was in sight to ask for help. NO ELEVATOR. Garbage route in the morning is LOUD. Room service after every three days, but it was clean. The beds are not good, very bouncy, and old.

Upside: Lovely staff! Super-nice Monday evening live music duo by pool/bar. Good location, without the corporate/high-rise atmosphere. No elevator, but assistance with luggage. Comfy bedding and good climate control in room. Good price for area. Downside: Older property with all that entails in terms of room carpet, shower. Functional, but old.
