We had a very enjoyable 10 days at White
Sands and we would definitely return again. We received
excellent value and great service from their friendly and very
helpful staff. The beach is the best, and White Sands
is a great place to enjoy it from!

I find White Sands to be friendly, clean and neat. Convenient
to restaurants and the beach is lovely. The bar and the bartenders
are friendly and attract some wonderful people. The restaurant
is good for breakfast and a small lunch. The rooms are decorated
nicely and kept in good repair. A nice place for family and
friends.

We spent a fabulous week at White Sands in late February 2002.
Everyone was very helpful and friendly, the rooms were clean
and comfortable and the beach, of course, was fantastic - miles
of soft, white sand, washed by clear blue ocean. White
Sands is not luxurious, but it is very good value for money.

Jamaica is a beautiful country. I have been traveling there
for the past twelve years and have always enjoyed spending the
time in Negril. My favorite place to stay in Negril is White
Sands Resort. It is small, which I prefer, and the owners and
staff are very special people. I would recommend White Sands
to anyone traveling to Negril who wants a vacation in a place
that is not crowded and has a very friendly family atmosphere.
- Julius Bryant, Columbus, Ohio
Three years ago as we planned a trip to Jamaica, we chose White
Sands in the middle of the 7 mile beach side of Negril.
We fell in love with White Sands the first time we saw it and
have been coming back every year for two weeks ever since. We
could not imagine going anywhere else. It was exactly what we
were looking for, quiet, beautiful grounds and the perfect beach.
To us it is our escape to paradise.
- Bobbie & Mike, Lancaster, P A
I like White Sands. The staff is extremely friendly if there
is anything you need they make sure your needs are taken
care of. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I have been going
to the White Sands for the last 3 years, spending two months
of the year there usually March and the month of November. It
depends the time of the year you go but you can enjoy the gorgeous
gardens. The flowers smell unbelievable. The beach is extremely
close with the white sandy beaches and the turquoise water is
beautiful. When you fall in love with Negril you will be going
back as much as I have. You meet new friends that come back
every year also. Take care.

We discovered White Sands in 1996 and have stayed there
4 times in the last 6 years. Our 5 year-old twins feel
like White Sands is their winter home! The location on
Negril beach cannot be beat. The entire staff is unfailingly
friendly and helpful. White Sands fits our needs perfectly
with it's simple, clean, and well-maintained accommodations. There
just isn't a better combination of accommodations, people,
and location on Negril beach. It's definitely our hotel
of choice.
- John, Joan, Clare and Ian Baumgart, Mequon, WI
Our first trip to Negril and the White Sands was in 1994.
We knew we had found our "home away from home."
The people at White Sands were so friendly and accommodating,
the rooms were clean and reasonable, and the location on the
beach was perfect. We have been back to the White Sands 3 times
since and will return again in a few weeks. We spent last
Christmas at the White Sands with our 2 sons and daughter-in-law
so we could show them the place that has become such a part
of our lives. We've always felt a little piece of our
heart belongs at the White Sands.

If you want to relax and have a good time in a warm and
sunny place, go to White Sands, Negril! You also
meet the nicest people there from all over the world.
The staff at White Sands are all very friendly and helpful!
- Judy Carl / Ogden, Illinois
We always refer to White Sands like we are "going home"
and that's the way we are treated. You cannot find friendlier
or nicer people anywhere else in the world.
- George & Trisha Aarons, Alexandria, Virginia,
USA
We have stayed at other resorts in Negril and a friend recommended
the White Sands, we found White Sands very friendly, relaxing
and a lot of fun. It is the perfect location on
the beach and we felt safe and secure. We have already recommended
the White Sands to our best friends. We had a wonderful
vacation and we can't wait to go back next year! I would like
to thank you for our enjoyable time with you.

I can't find enough nice things to say about our visit to White
Sands, your place and your staff. Take care.

I want to thank you once again for all your help on getting
things organized for our "Christmas in Jamaica".
I know with all the airline changes and different room and villa
combinations that we needed it was a good thing I was dealing
with you and not some big corporate company. Everything worked
out perfectly, the room, the apartment and especially the villa
were absolutely fantastic. Everything was neat and clean and
the workers were very polite. As you know we visit Jamaica once
or twice a year, and you can rest assured that White Sands will
be our first choice. See you next year, thanks again.
- Mike Tritz, Florida
I can truly say White Sands is an ideal destination for the
family. We found the staff very friendly and helpful and my
family felt very at home there. We're looking forward to staying
there on our trips to Negril in the future.
- N T-P
Our group has been coming to Negril every other year for
the last 12years. We have always stayed at White Sands. To my
knowledge there is not a better place in Negril. The staff is
always extremely helpful and attentive to anything that we need
and we have always had wonderful cooks and cleaning personnel.
In addition, the observation deck offers wonderful sunset views....the
bar is open and friendly and at no time over the times we have
visited did we feel anything but completely safe. I would highly,
highly recommend White Sands.
- Bill Rogers
White Sands is a wonderful low-key relaxing vacation - we love
it! It's family-run and everyone is very friendly and
helpful. It's right on the beach, surrounded by beautiful
gardens with fruit trees. The area is generally natural
because of the low-rise buildings and an abundance of lush vegetation.
We have been going every year for the past 15 years or
so. We especially like the cottages (one-bedroom apartments)
as they are spacious and have a full kitchen." Please give
our best wishes to everyone,
- Carol and Evan, Brooklyn
The owners of White Sands Hotel seem to take a genuine concern
for their customers. Their care makes the stay worth while!"

- Tommy and Debbie Lemacher, Arkansas
If I did not like White Sands, I certainly would not have stayed
there already eleven times! And each time I spend approximately
three months. For me, it is the best and nicest place
and everybody is kind and helpful. Please give my kindest regards
to the whole crew. Hope very much to see you all next winter!

Our stay at White Sands was a very enjoyable experience. We
were surprised at size of the cottage/apt, it was huge, and
with a group of 6 it was nice to have the extra room to have
a place to meet and hang out. Also, the price was very
reasonable for places in Negril and the location was nice for
us. Close to bands in both directions. Henry the
concierge, Angi our maid, and Pricilla our friends maid
was very friendly and helpful as were the entire staff.
Everyone was wonderful and very accommodating. If someone
wasn't sure of something, the manager was there to make suggestions
and offer help. We are already planning our stay there
next year.

Dear White Sands Staff Just wanted to drop you a note of thanks
for making our Jamaica trip "picture perfect." Committing
to unseen accommodations via internet, in another country can
be a bit scary. In fact, we have had less than positive experiences
on past trips. However, I can honestly say that we were VERY
pleasantly surprised by the facilities, as well as the superb
treatment we received at White Sands. It was so wonderful to
arrive to such hospitality and so many smiling faces. Everyone,
from housekeepers and bartenders to office personnel made us
feel more like family than once a year visitors. Even your "standard"
rooms were great. Clean, airy and decorated with a Jamaican
flair. Wild parrots flitting about well manicured grounds, mixed
with the wonderful aroma of night blooming jasmine and other
tropical plants seemed to just melt away the stress and help
us leave the corporate world behind. After unpacking and settling
into our temporary "home" we set off to the beach
to see if the water was as clear and beautiful as we had remembered
it from our last visit. We strolled leisurely toward the beach,
our mouths watering for one of those tropical drinks the island
is known for. A mixture of light reggae and calypso music lilted
through the air as we reached the beachside bar. After a couple
of your daily special 2 for 1 "dirty banana" concoctions
we decided to order from your grill. The rat race mentality
was completely erased as our waitress brought a couple of the
best lobsters we have ever eaten up to your sun deck. As we
gazed out over the brilliant blue green waters, sipped our drinks
and munched out on our delicious dinner it was readily apparent
that we had made the right choice in accommodations this year.
We would, without hesitation, recommend White Sands to our friends
and anyone else who seeks the tranquility of a tropical paradise.
For those who want a little more excitement and nightlife, never
fear, there is always a party within easy walking distance along
the pristine sands of Negril. Thanks so much for a wonderful
vacation. (it was sure hard to leave our new friends) Rest assured
that we WILL be back again next year and we will most definitely
make a point to book reservations early enought to be able to
stay at your place when we return. Anyone looking for "that
perfect spot" is welcome to contact me via email----it's
always a pleasure to share a pleasant vacation experience!
Thanks again,
- Miki and Bob Wall (Atlanta), bmw@reflexintl.com
The beautiful location and the warmth of the White Sands staff
has kept me visiting for the past ten years. They see
to your needs and give you tips on places to visit and eat so
you get a true flavor for the country. I know what a wonderful
establishment this is because the same people are there year
after year... both staff and guests! I Really truly do wish
I was there... but you know I am in spirit! Please share my
sentiments with everyone on the staff.... they certainly DO
make a difference and set your establishment apart from others.

We have been coming to White Sands for 9yrs now and enjoy the
hospitality and friendliness of the entire staff. We have been
treated real well every time .White Sands is an outstanding
value and a great place to stay to enjoy the beauty of Negril
beaches. We have already booked our room for 2003,and all so
have become friends with many other returning guests that we
see each year at White Sands. Thanks,
- Dave T., Illinois
After staying in Negril 4 times at 4 different beach properties,
the last one being White Sands, I will now stay at White Sands
every time I return. The rooms were clean, the screens
kept out mosquitoes, the staff was the friendliest & the
price was perfect. The pool, pool table & ping pong
table were also added benefits we didn't know about at first.
This is a great place!!
Juliana, California
The instant I arrive, I feel right at home. Each stay
has been better than the last. I particularly love the small
hotel atmosphere. The hotel staff is so friendly
and helpful! I have made many new friends while at White
Sands. I often ask White Sands staff for dinning suggestions
if I can't decide; I have never been disappointed. The
central location of the hotel is perfect for exploring Jamaica's
famous Negril beach. So many colorful plants surround the
hotel grounds. The different types of rooms available will
suit even the most particular traveler. If you are traveling
with a group or large family, the Villa with pool is the perfect
place to stay. I have looked at other hotels while in Negril
and have found the quality and price White Sands offers unmatched.
White Sands will be my only home away from home in Negril.
Sincerely,
- Shari Green, Duluth, MN
The friendly staff at the White Sands will do everything possible
to make your stay a relaxing and enjoyable one. You will soon
become one of the family and if you are lucky you will experience
the perfect sunset and Aunt Putts perfect chocolate
cake at the same moment! You will not believe the gardens!
There is a rainbow of colors to be found in the unusual plantings
and the tropical birds that visit the gardens. This beauty
along with the staff's warm welcome have kept us returning
for 15 years! P.S. I wish we were there right now. I'd be
swimming.
- Jennifer French, New York
We stayed at White sands for 15 days in February. It was great!
The rooms were clean, the beach was wonderful, the drink specials
were extremely thirst quenching, but most of all the management
and staff went above and beyond the call of duty. You're missing
out if you pass up White Sands mon. Have a great day.
- Steve & Janet, Minnesota
The fact that we have returned every year from 1982 to now
certainly speaks for itself. We are also very favorably impressed
by the improvements in amenities that you have made over the
years. The upgrading of bathrooms and air-conditioning are
other plusses, and you still can't beat the natural beauty
of Negril's seven mile beach and the great sunsets we can
view from White Sands. The friendly family feeling and considerate
staff all add to our relaxing and refreshing experience. Also
the fact that White Sands is on a relatively quiet stretch
of the beach yet only a short invigorating walk to the major
food and entertainment places along the beach are additional
advantages of White Sands.
- Rhoda and George Gruen, New York City White Sands
is Our home away from home........We have traveled the
world over and can truly say that White Sands is our favorite.....The
beach is the best that I've seen and the staff is like family.
No problems Mon!
