We visited White Sand for 4 nights after safari in Tanzania. As we had endured many postponements for our honeymoon, we were delighted to finally get here!! The resort is absolutely beautiful. So clean & fresh with a gorgeous pool & beach. We stayed in a private room with a hot tub which was just beautiful!! Had a couples massage & a romantic dinner on our terrace as part of the honeymoon package. Our butler John was amazing! Friendly, attentive & nothing too much trouble for him. The food is absolutely beautiful 😍 different choices every night & super fresh. All in all, 10/10 & would highly recommend for a little slice of luxury!

We stayed at this beautiful hotel for 8 days. We had the most amazing time. Aside from the gorgeous view, the staff was so accommodating and made us feel home away from home! Our personal butler, Mangu, became a brother more than a butler. He assisted us with everything. He understood our need for privacy, and as such, made our stay perfectly tailored to our needs! He understood we wanted to discover a few things, and organised everything. We had an amazing driver, Abderrahman, who brought us upon arrival to our hotel. He was the most amazing man, and we requested he continue to be our driver for the rest of our trip. Mangu made it happen, every time, without fail. The head of restaurants was the lovely Jeramina, that we ended up calling Mama Jeramina 2 days into the trip. She understood our food preferences from day one and made sure to tailor our meals accordingly. We requested local foods and she made it happen. If you are there, make sure to have her prepare her special tea with cardamom, cloves, black tea, a bit of milk, and her secret ingredient. Overall the staff made our stay here all the better, made us want to never leave, and come back as soon as possible. A special shout-out to our Zanzibarian family, Mangu, Abderrahman, and Jeramina. Asante sana for everything. You made us feel very karibu.…

That was a spectacular time for me and my wife. Everything from the beginning was amazing. First of all, general manager Ivan met us personally on arrival - we didn't have such experience before. Beach is so nice and what's really good that there are almost no people. Food is amazing and a big surprice that they change it on daily basis - so every day you can try something new. We highly reccomend this hotel to everyone and we hope to return already if few months again!

Luxury accommodation with private pool set amongst beautiful landscaping and right next to the beach. The team cannot do enough to ensure your holiday is special. Our butler Joseph was superb, as were the bar team, security staff, spa, housekeeping and gardeners. We were well looked after by a friendly and experienced restaurant team and especially Pendo and Joshua throughout our stay. This is a really friendly and exclusive resort. Paje beach is tidal and the kite school is on hand too. Stone town is only 1 hour away, spice farms likewise and the seaweed centre only 10 mins which are well worth a visit.

Stayed here for a weekend to recover from safari. The private villas with pool are amazing, beautifully appointed with your personal butler to attend to your every need. Food was excellent, spa services were top notch. They had local entertainment on Friday night with Masai handicrafts for sale. There was some festival going on in a neighboring property which had very loud music every night until 6:30 am. Nothing White Sands could have done about it. So ask if there are any festivals going on during your stay.

Dear Judi, All the team joins me to thank you for your kind words! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Zanzibar. I am sorry to hear that you experienced these inconveniences regarding the festival. This is an unregular event, and it does not happen often at all. I hope you still enjoyed your little paradise vacation and we hope to see you soon with us! Kind regards, Ivan Shestakov General Manager
