Lovely facilities, very clean rooms. Staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Dinner options on the first night buffet were fantastic - seafood galore! Saturday breakfast with bubbles was a nice touch. As the week progressed the food quality and options became much the same fare with small pockets of variation. The fruit selection for breakfast was wonderful but management need to make it more accessible to multiple guests at a time as waiting and pushing in became an exhausting problem. The plastic sunbeds along the seafront need to be updated, the Lamu style beds in the seafront are a big hit. Having single beds would help with overall availability for guests, especially when busy. Great hotel and a fantastic stay.

Had an excellent stay at Whitesands! Property has been impeccably maintained, food was excellent as always with lots of variety, and especially loved the daytime food stations that are always fresh and hot. Lots of activities for everyone especially the kids, decent but small gym, lots of pools, and very friendly staff. I had one issue that was promptly addressed. A !

Sarova Whitesands is an excellent facility with one of the best beaches in the world. This was our second consecutive stay at the hotel. We loved it so much last year that we returned this summer and stayed for six days and we could have stayed longer. The staff is professional, courteous and responsive to requests. The food is delicious. The variety of pools provides options for children and adults and the rooms are well serviced. I used the Ozone children’s club for my son and the spa and I would give both a 5 star rating. We will be back!!!

Great dependable venue that we have stayed at many time. Outstanding service from waiters, cleaners, staff in general. The only reason I don’t give it a 5, is that we were given a room very far from the dining area and entrance which meant that my dad had to go up and down several stairs to get to the room from the dining area. They were able to move him to a ground room, but it was even further away! Considering we were staying for 5 nights, I’d have hoped for more accommodation. Otherwise they were great. Beautiful beaches, clean facilities, excellent location and setup.
