White Sands Hotel

“Great Ambiance ”

Relax on the spotlessly white sand and swim in the waters. A popular resort where you can enjoy refreshing cocktails and taste the good food. Take a boat to Mbudya for snorkel and clean beaches.....

“Get the Updated Room”

1) Be sure to stay in the updated section or room. It's makes a difference. 2) Even though you stay in an updated room, the bathrooms need updating. I don't know what it is about grouting and old tiles, but it's kinda dingy. Only place I saw modern bathrooms was the Hyatt Kiliminjaro 3) The AC w... more

1) Be sure to stay in the updated section or room. It's makes a difference. 2) Even though you stay in an updated room, the bathrooms need updating. I don't know what it is about grouting and old tiles, but it's kinda dingy. Only place I saw modern bathrooms was the Hyatt Kiliminjaro 3) The AC worked great, which is a big deal in this town, especially since the power goes off all the time 4) WiFi was OK, but the power cut off all the time, so you never know. Again, only place this didn't happen much as the Hyatt 5) If you need rest or like quiet rooms, you better ask if you are facing one of the many private events they host on property. My ocean view room faced a lawn they hosted wedding ceremonies, kids' birthday parties, receptions. Let me tell you - it was LOUD. The speakers were under my balcony. My windows literally vibrated from the base. There was zero way I can have a work Zoom, phone call or even take a nap. I had to complain to the front desk but they just say "oh. ok" 6) Breakfast wasn't anything great. Warm fruit. Dried eggs in chafing dishes. Stewed beans. Coffee wasn't good 7) cleaning staff is great and thorough 8) There's no liquid dish soap in the kitchenettes or sponges 9) There's a good supermarket about 5 min away if you need it

“This hotel can be much better ... clean the beach, there was a lot of plastic on the beach!”

Hotel taxi picked us up at the airport half an hour late after 3 phone calls to the hotel. We almost had two accidents with the hotel taxi during the 35 km ride.

Hotel taxi picked us up at the airport half an hour late after 3 phone calls to the hotel. We almost had two accidents with the hotel taxi during the 35 km ride. We drive like maniacs, both by our driver and by fellow road users. The lady at check-in did not enjoy her job. We could get a yogi drink as a welcome drink. Even though there were almost no guests, we got a room on the first floor. Anyway, the room was good, neat and clean. We arrived just before lunch so had a light lunch and a delicious dinner. An otherwise sweet service at dinner. Spent the afternoon on the beach and noticed that there was a lot of plastic on the beach, while there were many staff at the pool doing nothing. Then go and clean the beach..... Because we were taken to the airport by hotel taxi at night, checked out in the evening. That was a lot more pleasant.
