The resort itself was nice, however it is loud and the service is extremely bad, waiting almost 30min for beverages when it's empty. The customer service was poor and only 1/10 staff speak English ( we are bilingual) causing a lot of incorrect orders. All in all it is absolutely not worth the 1000s of dollars we spent on it.

The beach had so much trash from the city. It was impossible to swim in the ocean. I am shocked that this hotel has not been shutdown just purely from health concerns.

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 property had many changes since I was last there and it looked fantastic and very trendy and homely. The room was good but we never managed to get a hot shower. Staff were all very friendly, but other than breakfast the food really wasn’t great and very slow service. It’s a shame that these things let the hotel down as they could easily be rectified.
