Was hesitant at first at booking this hotel. I didn’t know what to expect as side from looking at the pictures especially for the price that I paid. Hotel is very convenient and walkable to places. All staff were wonderful and welcoming from valet staff to check in staff and the bar staff. Dakota and the other two bar tenders (forgot the other two guys’ names) that attended to us were wonderful and had some good recommendations of drinks. Check in agent were very welcoming. I forgot her name but when I asked for a late check out I was given a discount out of her own kind gesture. That was very kind and unexpected. Thank you! All in all stay was amazing and would likely consider booking this hotel again.

Its like walking into a Retro Hotel in the 1980;s awesome pool area, bar and food was excellent. Rooms are a good size , 3 storeys no lifts but manageable. easy access to shops, valet parking at a reasonable rate, live music a couple nights and a sneaky speak easy. Short staffed on the front counter, and rooms cleaned every other day but linen is freshed daily. great balconies facing inwards towards the pool area. White Sands Highly recommended.

INCREDIBLE. Loved it. Stayed at several other hotels in Waikiki at a similar price point over the years and White Sands was far and above in experience!! Obviously it’s no five star resort but it was clean, staff was awesome and friendly and helpful, food and drinks onsite were DELICIOUS. Pool and hot tub were both comfy. Free slushees in the afternoon were such a fun treat. And great location for walking to just about anything else off site you could need. We will 1000% absolutely stay here again!!!

The vibe of the renovation and idea they were going for is cute but the area is unsafe, 2 days in a row we saw literal fist fights right next door at the rundown bar. Our room was on the same side as the speak easy so music blaring and screaming until 2am.
