Just returned home from our first trip ever to Negril. We along with three other couples rented the villa at White Sands. It was very accomodating. Villa was clean, the pool was great and Henry was there every other day to clean our pool. The bar was magnificent with a great staff. Drinks were amazing and the food was good.... More

I agree about the pillows, just ask for more. Staff very accomodating, for the most part. Tried the Gardenside for a change, so I wouldn't have to change rooms. Very nice, quiet, nothing facncy, but thats not what I look for. I look for a good bed, clean bathroom & fridge (big +). Breakfast is teriffic----they don't do dinner, but... More

We just returned from our 4th stay at White Sands and it was again another wonderful vacation!!! The staff has always been wonderful and welcoming and no doubt one of the many reasons they have many repeat guests. It is a nice family owned hotel in the middle of 7 mile beach. This last trip our son Nicholas had an... More

If your looking for minimal accommodations and close enough walking distance to food, drinks, ect. This is place for you! I met great people and it was cheap and clean. My only compliant is that they turned off the water sometime which happened twice during my time. The staff were great and I felt safe!

Well said and to the point. Glad the staff treated you well, they are what keeps so many great people coming back each year. Sorry to hear about the water issue you experienced, but glad it was solved. There have been water issues in Negril but we have our own self contained system and water delivery is not an issue...

We spent all of our time out of the hotel so a basic room was fine by us. We were on the beach side on the ground floor. There was no view from our room so sitting on the balcony was a bit pointless. However we did put our bikinis out here to dry. One point our bikinis went missing... More

My hubby and I stayed at White Sands last week for three nights, during our second trip to Jamaica. Our only regret is that we didn't stay at White Sands longer.

Thank you for allowing us to host you again. 3 years is a long time. Negril is a bit addictive, so once you visit and fall in love, it is hard not to come back every year. Or multiple times a year as many of our loyal repeat clients do. Great advise in the post you submitted. Thank you for... More

I almost regret putting them on Trip Advisor. My hubby and I discovered White Sands about 10 years ago. If you want a resort...go somewhere else! If you want a good time...friendly owners and staff...People that know your name...come hang with us. They had some growing pains when they went green....but they did do it.
