Oahu Scuba Diving Holidays

Paid for city view w/ balcony , when I checked in I was informed the balconies was closed off on the room due to remodeling and there wasn’t any city view rooms available

Unfortunately, my stay at White Sands Hotel was far from enjoyable and did not meet my expectations. While the hotel benefits from a convenient location near Waikiki Beach, restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, the overall condition of the property left much to be desired. The bathrooms were noticeably dirty, the room had a strange, unpleasant odor, and the corridors throughout the property appeared poorly maintained. Housekeeping was disappointing, with a clear lack of attention to cleanliness and basic upkeep. To make matters worse, the hot tub was not operational during my stay, and there was no communication from the hotel prior to arrival advising guests of this inconvenience. This was particularly frustrating, as guests should be made aware when advertised amenities are unavailable. The only redeeming qualities were the hotel’s proximity to Waikiki’s beaches and city life, along with the pool bar, which served decent food. Overall, the property has potential, but the lack of cleanliness, maintenance, and proactive guest communication significantly impacted my experience. For the price and expectations of a Hawaiian getaway, I would recommend exploring other accommodations in the area. Unfortunately, I would not choose to stay here again.
