Charming hotel with great staff

Lovely, smaller sized hotel in a very convenient location close to the beach, shops, restaurants and the best coffee in Waikiki (Kona Coffee Purveyors). Rooms are spacious and very clean, and staff are wonderful.

Enjoyed our stay

Affordable room conveniently located. A bit shabby chic but the staff and vibe couldn't be beat! Swing away and enjoy a cocktail at the bar or make new friends around the pool. Everyone; both guests and staff seemed happy to be at the White Sands. Cars are conveniently valet parked right in front of hotel.

Great stay! Perfect location but tucked away enough, feels like someone’s back yard in the best way
Patricia, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Overpriced for the Quality

First night pool & bar was closed but we were offered $30 food credit for inconvenience which was nice for them to offer. Hotel is outdated. No elevator just stairs. AC in room seemed to not work properly. Service from staff was great I have to give them that. The hotel just needs some updating. For the price we paid it’s definitely overpriced in my opinion.

We loved White Sands… it felt like an oasis in the middle of Waikīkī. We especially liked how quirky it was with things like swings at the bar. The staff was great… friendly and helpful and fun!

Rosa, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It's OK for the price.

It's a cool place but management has no idea how this place needs a deep cleaning. It's clean on top but grubby around every corner and nook. Front desk staff needs a course in guest management as well.
Robert M, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We loved the old Hawaiian ambience and the friendliness, The free use ovv gf the lobby expressi machine between 9-11 am was a big plus. The location was great within 1/2 block from the major thoroughfare. The pool cafe and bar were great.
John, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cute & busy

Resort fees here = $30 per day. It was very cute upon arrival. The pool area and bar is also very cute. The rooms are a bit dingy, but ok. Mostly the floors felt dirty like they needed a good shampoo and the shower is extremely small. I’d guess 2.5-3ft long and wide. There is a microwave and fridge in the room as well as a balcony looking over the pool area. This first night was quite loud when we tried to fall asleep. I also could very clearly hear an incessant bird in th morning, but didn’t have this problem subsequent mornings. The bathroom has shutter “windows” which doesn’t lend to ver sound proof or humidity proof rooms- tip- keep that bathroom door closed so the ac and fan can work its magic. Got our car parked by valet for $45 This is very Spendy, but truly was no better options without a 15 minute walk or if you can get the rental bike or scooters to work.
Destiny, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hidden gem is in the heart of Waikīkī. Walking distance to great food and entertainment. The hot tub jets weren’t working but it was nice and hot! The pool swings at the bar are a fun treat. Staff is awesome.

Oasis Places

The property had a nice atmosphere, but parking was terrible. Either you have valet, which is $45 a night, and the was cheaper than most places. You park on the meter parking our find somewhere along Ala Wai, that's usually packed as well. Overall, service is answered promptly. My first room had a messed up bathroom knob, they switch me to a better room next to the poolside view. People are usually in and out here at night because of the bar services. Friday DJ is there.
