If you are looking for a place to just relax and reflect by a pool, this is the place to go. My two friends and I left Manila for a quick 2 night trip to Cebu and found the White Sands to be just what we needed after some tough weeks in the office. The pool was gorgeous and gets... more

I appreciate that some other reviewers have commented adversely on the tiny beach and the lack of marine life within the closed-off buoy area of Cebu White Sands' beachfront. Nonetheless I had a great time and not the negative experience alluded to by some. My room was in the newest wing, about a year old. It had a sala (lounge... more

Three of us have just returned from this hotel. We were pretty much stuck in the hotel as there are very few restaurants within walking distance ( this is not ana good option, see below ) unless we were preapred to take taxis. The hotel itself is set in lovely grounds but cannot in anyway be descirbed as a beach... more

I am a frequent traveler and normally stay at 3 star hotels under 100 dollars a night. The resort is very well maintained and the grounds are gorgeous. You have to realize the attitude at these remote beach hotels is a lot different then in town. They are very strict with thier rules. Guests are charged 500pesos each for day... more

We just visited the resort last October 17. We wanted to see the Mactan beach and compare the white sand of Mactan to neighboring provinces like Bohol... but hey! where's the white sand??? As in where's the white sand? White sand in Bohol is everywhere and yet there's no such thing as Bohol White Sand Resort. humble, i think... We... more

Having read discouraging reviews of this hotel I think that a positive review is due, and having visited and stayed at various resorts in both Cebu and Bohol, I think that I am in a good position to offer a balanced view. I have stayed at this resort twice, firstly in March 2009 and then again in June 2009, having... more

To be honest, I had read about this hotel prior to booking it; it was the Holy Week and since we were late in making our plans, we opted for this hotel. On an overall basis, the hotel is actually quite nice; the rooms are large, the beds comfortable, attached bathroom is large and had a jacuzzi, there is a... more

We stayed a long weekend at tthe White Sands. I would like to be nicer but I would not rate this hotel as a 4 star due to the rooms. The bathrooms need updating, and we had ants all over our sink every am. The hotel should also provide more complimentary items to guests. We only had 2 free waters... more

Got in at 2 in the morning; hence the check in was kinda slow with the night shift reception: Pros: -The staff was very friendly. From the restaurant to the watersports; everyone had a nice smile and would ask you what you need. -Faciilties was sufficient. Decent Pool and nice massage area. -Rooms very spacious Cons: -Rooms a little old... more
