Centrally Located -- 5 minutes from Beach ! Friendly Staff ! --- Our room was old and the kitchenette area is very small -- but for 1-2 people it will do. It is NOT the cleanest place !!!. Dissapointed that the jacuzzi never worked -- and the Pool is FREEZING ! The little waterfall by the Jacuzzi was cute .... More

I was looking for budget accommodations for a quick trip to Honolulu, and this hotel came up as a package option on Expedia. “Budget” doesn’t have to be synonymous with dirty or dumpy, but that’s pretty much how I’d have to sum up the White Sands Hotel. When we arrived, I discovered that the parking lot consisted of about 8... More

We stayed here for a week in Sept. 2011 & really enjoyed it. We were upgraded free to a large double room with a view of the hot tub & swimming pool. Everything in the rooms worked & the staff were friendly & very helpful! We were close to everything & had an assigned parking space. If we go back... More

Pros: Has a fridge and stove. Quiet. Price Cons: Dingy. Parking is $25 a night. No internet signal in my room. No elevator to third floor. I would not recommend staying here. More

We were looking for cheap central accommodation, we wanted a kitchenette so we could be independant. We asked for a pool view, and when we asked for a balcony also they happily changed us. We enjoyed the privacay and although we lost the pool side, it was a good move as it was quieter. The place was tired, but had... More

This hotel was okay for our budget holiday in Oahu. Can't beat the price for location and a pretty good pool. Booked the cheapest room and had a view of a wall but that's the way it goes for $80 in Waikiki. Kitchenette was a bonus but could of used a better cleaning, room was good size, 26" tv, ice... More

As a long time Hawaiiana customer I was thrilled to find that the entire staff had gone to work at the White Sands Hotel, formerly known as Celebrity Resorts. I was uncomfortable with the location after dark, but seeing the same familiar faces year after year is the draw for me, especially Lisa and Christieann. I had two stays at... More
