Very dated room. Bathroom was stained. Mould on the wall behind the curtains. Windows didn’t close properly. Looks like the property is being renovated, but even the newer areas had water damage on the walls. The staff were pleasant and friendly. Didn’t check out the bar or restaurant but there is a lovely Thai takeaway next door.

Nice one night stay at the White Sands, looks a little tired from the outside but rooms and bar area really nice. Unfortunately the welcome was not very warm, we did arrive early so thought we would see if the rooms were ready, but the receptionist looked at us as if we had committed some atrocity. All staff we encountered later were very warm and friendly, but first impressions matter.

Beautiful location! Right across the road from the beach. Great walking trails. There is also an attached restaurant so you can get food. This is an older hotel, however it looked to be in good condition. Our room had been redone and was nice but the bed wasn't the greatest mattress. Check In and Out was smooth with a nice friendly woman. I would definitely stay there again because of the beautiful water views/trails.

Great location. Wonderful restaurant and bar on site. Modern room. One caveat - bath tub and shower would be difficult to enter and exit for an older person or someone with a disabilty.
