Description:
White Sands Negril is the most unique hotel beach resort in Jamaica, offering true Jamaican charm and ambiance. Owned and operated by the same family for 30 years, White Sands is the Negril hotel of choice for those who desire simple and clean beach accommodations at an affordable price. We are the only hotel resort offering travelers a choice of a four bedroom, four bath villa with pool, spacious one bedroom apartments and inviting deluxe and standard rooms. A vacation at White Sands Negril is the perfect Jamaican holiday for couples, families and singles alike.The history of the resort began in 1971 when Henry Moo-Young and his wife decided to build four spacious apartments on the most beautiful beach in Jamaica, and call it White Sands. Over thirty years have passed and the only measurable change is that the four rooms grew to forty rooms. He still lives on property, greets guests each day and tends to the lush gardens that surround the resort. Having grown up in a family of eleven brothers and sisters, Mr. Moo-Young is a firm believer in the strength of the family. As such, he and his family are responsible for the total management and care of the resort. Guests are treated like family and some have been visiting for over 20 years. White Sands is ideal for the undemanding traveler who prefers something different then a traditional hotel. In fact we take pride in being described as a simple resort with a non-hotel atmosphere.

2007 will be our 14th year of escaping to our favorite place on earth, Negril, Ja., specifically White Sands ! You have to experience it to appreciate it. Awesome partially describes the following: Staff, location, location, location, comfort, the true Jamaican experience--Kick back and absorb the attitude.

This was the worst hotel and trip ever. We were very disappointed. There was stains on the coffee table, no king size bed like they said, no glass in windows, and one small lock on the door. The room wasn't even clean when we got there. It was in the middle of nowhere. There was nothing within walking distance like they said. It also took us 2 1/2 hrs to get to our hotel.

First impressions count but with White Sands, you have to give it a chance. The first day I arrived at White Sands I turned to my hubby and said, I brought my Amex card do you want to try someplace else? I was kind of skeptical of how low-keyed the accommodations were. By the second day, the place kind of grew on me and I decided to stay. The location is directly on the 7-mile stretch of beach and within easy access to good restaurants and night spots. The staff was very welcoming and the owner even challenged my hubby in a round of table tennis.

My best friend and I stayed here and loved it. We normally take a vacation together every other year and to many different countries. We decided that we are going to take a vacation together every year and White Sands in Negril is where we plan to spend it.

This spot on the beach is perfect for budget-minded travelers who are seeking a safe and beautiful place to stay while enjoying Negril.

To get out and discover the "real Jamaica", this is a great place to start. We have been there several times, and although this is a no-frills place, it is clean and centrally located on the Beach. The staff will be looking out for you at all hours of the day and night, even though most of the time you don't even know they are there. Expect friendly bartenders with daily drink specials, but dine elsewhere. Don't isolate yourself in an all-inclusive, get out and see Negril and visit the locals. The staff at WhiteSands will be more than willing to point you in the right direction.

The hotel lobby is not open past 7:00 p.m. I arrived late and a key with my full name was waiting for me in an accessible place outside (accessible to everyone). Someone I assumed was a hotel employee was in the driveway and showed me my room. However, as a single woman traveling alone I would not chose this hotel again if I had a late arrival.

If you're fine with a no frills hotel, you'll love the White Sands. Very relaxing stay and seemed to have many repeat guests (always a good sign). Right in the center of the beach too. The rooms could use a coat of paint, but were clean and comfortable. The only thing that could use help is that the bartenders were not as friendly and pleasant as the typical Jamaican bartender. All in all, a great stay. Would recommend it.
