We booked this property because are preferred property was undergoing renovations. The rooms are a bit small and the food is very expensive so we ended up going all inclusive. Overall, the stay was worth it. We loved all the different pool areas and the staff are very welcoming and helpful.

A bit of paradise

Nice hotel. Great place if you are looking for a self-contained resort. Four pools, multiple restaurants, private beach, bars, spa and more. Definitely a great place to unwind, relax and enjoy beautiful surroundings. Hotel is a bit remote; you’ll need to hire transportation to visit places.

Great staff and variety of quality food choices. We really enjoyed our 2 hr snorkelling trip off of the beach. The beach itself is nice for walking ,but expect some salespeople to interrupt you and a fair bit of seaweed in the water. The pools were perfect though for us and our teenagers. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 nights at Whitesands.
