Arriving for three nights of R&R after a three-day mini-safari drive from Nairobi, this hotel seemed like an oasis. The refreshing arrival drink and wash towel offered us in the open-air tropical lobby decorated for the Christmas season were much appreciated. Walking to our room across the spacious and well-landscaped grounds past huge rambling, crystal clear swimming pools, slides and... more

I could go on for ages about this hotel and more importantly First Choice holidays. The only thing more disappointing about this hotel is the capabilities of the tour operator First Choice who were to be blunt an absolute waste of space! List of issues..... Air Conditioning didn't work. Staff were rude and had bad attitudes. Business people were treated... more

If you want a hotel bases holiday then I would recomend this hotel, talking to other people it seems that it is one of the best around that area, the rooms are a good size with balcony or terrace. A/C could be a little more powerful but I suppose it is Africa. Bathrooms clean but very dated. The hotel grounds... more

I was extremely disappointed (and to be specific, it was the third time... more

First, I want to say that generally I would call it "above average", but I have found that accommodations in Africa need a little perspective, and in relation to hotels in East Africa, Whitesands is a 5-star. Grounds: The grounds are amazing, absolutely beautiful. Although it's quite spread-out, it's not that big a place and you can get anywhere in... more

We have just returned from a one week stay here, can honestly say we had a pleasant enough week although the weather conspired against us! Most days were dark and damp with high winds which made it difficult to enjoy going on the beach or joining in th evening entertainment which for some reason was usuallt outside where we were... more
