  • Overall: Rating of 3.8 out of 5

    "Overall, the beach could have been much more enjoyable had I not been asked to buy something every 2 minutes." source Orbitz

    "(same rooms where the office is located) highly recommended." source Hotels.com

    "I would definitely stay there again." source Priceline

    "The trip was excellent the room and hotel were excellent but I do recommend bringing something along such as a portable DVD player as there are no TV's or Phones Or alarm clocks. the hotel has a great resteraunt and is not far from many local attractions and activities, I do recommend bringing along some DEET as there are mosquitoes but the trip was great and would go back the hotel even has its own bird atrium as well as an outdoor pool table by the pool but like I said there is only a fridge." source Travelocity

    "try the Rainbow Arch next door, a great place for lunch." source Expedia

  • Clean: Rating of 4.1 out of 5

    "it was) -Real Neighbors -Non crowded beach -Crystal waters -Nice locals that worked there -Great Price -Awesome native view(not planted from Home Depot) -Safe -Awesome Maids -Neat little bar/restaurant right on the beach CON's -Upstairs room wall did not go the whole way to ceiling." source Hotels.com

    "Negril beach is full of hotels, but White Sands is a really great deal because there's no bar, no restaurant, and no frills driving up costs - just a clean room, super nice staff, and an awesome location." source Travelocity

    "Here you can spend your time on the most beautiful part of this clean beach (no rocks, no shells, no driftwood - just fine white sand), and you have the chance to check out local food and fine dining far away from all-inclusive buffets." source Expedia

    "The rooms were clean, the staff helpful, the drinks cheap and the location is within a 10-15 minute walk to almost anywhere on the beach." source Hotels.com

    "Quite and clean rooms, but no clock radio or tv for the late evenings in room." source Hotels.com

  • Service: Rating of 4.0 out of 5

    "The service however was excellent." source Expedia

  • Location: Rating of 4.6 out of 5

    "Excellent location, very laid-back, excellent house keeping, beds were a little hard, the refrigerator was not working properly and not addressed, and the people were somewhat bother some even during the evening events with asking for money/drinks at the reggae shows and events, not a problem at the hotel, lobster brought to you freshly cooked on the beach is awesome." source Orbitz

    "This hotel was the perfect location, it was big enough, nice size shower and the staff were more than accomodating." source Hotels.com

    "The staff was always very polite, friendly and helpful; the location, in proximity to our interests, was very practical." source Priceline

    "beach side bar was nice to have as well as a short order sized grill for meals (we only ate breakfast there, but I would recommend breakfast at Normas, located just north of there on the beach) Things I didn't like- No safety deposit box in the room, and the bed I had felt more like box springs than an actual mattress, it was one of the worst beds I have slept on in a hotel." source Travelocity

    "It was a great bargain for the location and beautiful area of the beach that it sits on." source Expedia

  • Value: Rating of 4.6 out of 5

    "For about * dollars a person we got a fullmeal of rice/peas, cabbage, and a cold drink with freshly made seafood, chicken dishes, or veggies." source Travelocity

    "White Sands is a great hotel for the price." source Expedia

    "Good value, beautiful beach, eating in restaurants on the beach $10 - $20 per person, grocery store next door, motorcycle rental next door." source Travelocity

    "I found the rooms a bit bare and the no tv surprising given that the cottages next door cost half as much and offer these amenities." source Travelocity

    "In my opinion, the White Sands is a real find for people who like to have a fun vacation without spending a zillion dollars." source Travelocity

  • Room: Rating of 3.5 out of 5

    "The hotel information stated that it is a "beachfront" hotel,however most of its rooms are not beachfront and we were assigned to a room across the busy street from the beach. The room had wooden jalousie windows so there was no natural light if you decided to turn on your air conditioner which was certainly needed." source Hotels.com

    "For the price, the rooms were to be expected. I booked a 1 bedroom apartment but it was not like the one shown on the website although it was very large and we enjoyed having a kitchen & dining room." source Travelocity

    "My room had a fully equipped kitchen and a lovely patio." source Expedia

    "rooms are good,didn't have tv,but who cares we wasn't there to watch tv anyways it was always something to do,me and my friends had a ball and well be back in july again." source Travelocity

More information on White Sands Negril

Voted Best Value on the Negril beach by Caribbean Travel and Life magazine. Located about 29 miles southwest of Montego Bay airport, White Sands Negril is ideal for families, singles and couples alike. White Sands is a great choice for the undemanding traveler who prefers the ambience of a bed and breakfast to that of a traditional hotel. We take pride in being described as a resort with a non-hotel atmosphere, whose rooms are simple, clean and affordable.The philosophy is that a vacation is all about spending time with family and friends, and that it is best achieved by eliminating everyday distractions. This is why at White Sands you will not find televisions, telephones and internet connections in the rooms. Rest assured, there is a telephone in the front office, all major US cell phone carriers roam in Jamaica, or you can rent a cell phone while you are there. We offer free wireless access by the front office for those with a laptop, and there is a television at the beach bar. In a way, White Sands challenges their guests to disconnect from their everyday working lives and reconnect with those near and dear to them. In a digital, on-demand world this can be a challenge for some. At White Sands Negril our wish is for you to escape to a pace of life that you control, and not that which controls you.

Traveler Photos of Negril

The cliffs of Negril. Very, very cool. Great place to go snorkeling. The water was SO nice and warm and clear. I've dreamed of it a few times in the past few weeks. Our dinnertime entertainment... not too shabby, eh mon? Ocho Rios - this is the Martha Brae River. Rafting down this river was one of the nicest, most relaxing time of the entire trip. Very nice. 05153ccf38604f01ecd3e6e0a34abea5
