Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at White Sands. The food was a standout, with excellent variety and taste that catered to different cuisines! However, the conference room felt a bit cramped for our large group. Overall, I would recommend this place for both leisure and business purposes.
My stay at the hotel was frustrating due to various issues. While the views of the beach were fantastic, the experience was marred by noise from a wedding party right outside my room and poor dining options. The facility overall felt subpar, and I doubt I would return after this experience.
I recently had a wonderful stay at this beach front resort. The view from my room's balcony was breathtaking, and the ambiance was so peaceful. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, but there were some quirks during check-in and the beach cleanliness was a bit of an issue due to external factors. Overall, it's a decent place that I would recommend for its beautiful setting and comfortable rooms.
I had a truly disappointing experience at this hotel. We were excited to get a sea-facing room, but instead, we were right next to a wedding party that went on far too late. The shower was poorly designed, making it difficult to use, and the food quality was simply unacceptable. Unfortunately, it left us feeling frustrated enough to check out early, and we won't be returning.
I had an incredible stay at Hotel White Sands while celebrating my wedding over three days. The staff was accommodating and friendly, catering to all our guests' needs, including dietary restrictions. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the hotel offered a delightful breakfast. However, I did notice that some guests mentioned poor service experiences during their stay, so consistency might be an issue. Overall, it’s a great choice for a beach getaway close to the city center.
My experience at White Sands Dar es Salaam was frustratingly disappointing. While the check-in process was quick and the gardens were beautiful, the issues with cleanliness and maintenance quickly overshadowed these initial positives. The beach had a concerning amount of litter, and the bedbugs made for an uncomfortable night's sleep. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel due to the serious cleanliness concerns and poor customer service I encountered.
I have stayed here a few times and really enjoy the hotel's beautiful grounds and inviting pools. The rooms are clean with comfortable beds, but the dining experience is a bit lacking since the fire incident last August. I look forward to seeing the improvements once the reconstruction is complete.
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel with amazing staff and beautiful views. While the beach was a bit disappointing with some trash, the ambiance made up for it. I would definitely recommend exploring the nearby island if the weather is nice. However, the service can be hit or miss, as I noticed some lapses in attention at times.
