Disappointed big time. I agree, it's NOT a resort!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/27/09
Rated it "Awful" because the website looked so nice and that is what I should have expected. I read quite a few mixed reviews before going really didn't know what to expect. I stayed in Building 100 - though they did tell me it was their "economy room", I figured - it's suppose to be a Resort and Spa" so I'm ...
this place was over priced,and under staffed, the pool was not clean and we overlooked the parking lot! we couldn't get lounges by the beach because they didn't have enough to accomedate their guests,the white sands is a motel maquerading as a resort and spa...don't waste your money!
Oh crap, im booked to stay here later on in the season. Now im curious to see how all these reviews are going to compare to mine. I will write one when I get back.. dump/or no dump that is the question.

Not a resort !!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/06/09
Way over priced for a plain room. Don't let the website fool you It's no Resort! Our room didn't even have a place to put a suitcase! I guess if the floor counts they do. The room was clean I'll give the cleaning staff an A+. The poor guy at the front desk needed help! He was very nice He also gets an A+ Just too much for one ...

Not a resort - don't let their website fool you!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/13/09
Ok, the ONLY two positives is the location of this place which is steps away from the beach and the nice little old lady working the front desk. Whoever did their marketing and website is a genius because they made it look like a beautfiul resort with a luxurious spa, pools, etc. NOT EVEN CLOSE! The place IS a run down old motel, the pools are ...

Best Beach Resort On The Jersey Shore!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/19/08
My family and I stayed at the White Sands recently and all I have to say is wow! You cant beat the location by a long shot anywhere else on the shore. You have everything you need without having to go anywhere. Pools indoor and outdoor to accomodate any kind of weather, the rooms were clean and comfortable, service was awesome, private beach, spa ...
We arrived and had dinner in their second floor resturant. The food and service there was great. The manager was awesome, she made a point to stop by and introduce herself and welcome us. Our hotel room was very large - two king sized beds. Everything was clean and well kept. The hotel is a little bit away from the boardwalk, but it is walkable.

Don't go here
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/02/07
First this is not a resort. For what I paid I expected more. Yes they have a spa. So what, I can get a massage anywhere. Let’s start off with making the reservations. I was told I would have an ocean front room. Well unless the parking lot is the new Ocean, then I missed it. Then they did not tell me they were going to be withdrawing the ...
Here's what I can say, the place has a fantastic location, and in the end that's what matters. However, it has some detractors. The service staff is indifferent, at best. When we checked in, we walked into our room and were promptly greeted by soaking carpet. Apparently the bathroom sink's pipe had come undone (screw together pvc) ...
