Beautiful hotel

The hotel was beautiful from the outside and so well kept, food was of good standard as well as the service. The rooms looked dated a bit and needed modernising the shower door was loose and water came out when showering also there nowhere to go outside of the hotel, was very quiet the time we were there but overall was nice hotel.

A jewel in Dar es Salaam

We loved White Sands Resort. We were six people in two one-bedroom apartments with a connecting door, just perfect for us. The kitchens were convenient, however one was not stocked at all and the other just had a few plates and a couple of forks and spoons. We didn't plan to do much cooking so didn't say anything about it, but probably the staff would have responded had we asked. Otherwise, the stay was perfect with excellent air conditioning and two pools plus lovely beach walks to choose from. Breakfast buffet was remarkable and got us started each day!

The staff was very nice, and offering good service. The rooms were quite clean, but the kitchen was without any equipment. The food at the restaurant was fine, except one of the dishes we ordered (grilled chicken with grilled veggies) was dry and barely lukewarm. The beach was clean at the start of the day but got filled with garbage from the ocean as the day went by. Breakfast was very good! The hotel has very nice and calming surroundings

The white sand beach is beautiful but there were lots of trash swimming in the water next to the shore. They had beautiful jetty built that had a staircase going straight into the water but it was closed for the guests’ use, so we had to push floating trash away to get in the water. More than that, we were pleased with our short stay.
