We loved White Sands… it felt like an oasis in the middle of Waikīkī. We especially liked how quirky it was with things like swings at the bar. The staff was great… friendly and helpful and fun!

This place was RAD. We were first at a condo on the beach and amenities were space. We came here and BAM tiki bar, pool and hot tub, close to food and shopping, in room- record player, boogie boards, towels, beach loungers, yoga mats, an actually “bedroom” with a door that closes for separate sleeping quarters. The staff was great. It was a few minutes walk to the beach. The experience and atmosphere was unmatched!

Definitely not necessarily kid friendly. For sure a party scene hotel. Cute vibe. Older rooms and facility. The staff semi rude / short but the valet guys are VERY VERY nice and welcoming. Two blocks away from the beach, walking distance
