Writing this review was been very difficult, because of the controversy how is possible to have such a terrible hotel in one of the MOST AMAZING places in the World. Unfortunately our stay just confirmed the wave of negative reviews in tripadvisor, and I think is all about bad management LOCATION Fakarava is without a doubt one of the last... More

Great for scuba divers, it also offers a nice beach, spacious and clean rooms (very few with air conditioner), great service and outstanding food. Granted, the menu is not very extensive but, during our stay, we had a fantastic and incredibly varied dinner buffet served by the beach, very nice! The rooms are specially designed for you to be able... More

We came to Fakarava on our honeymoon. A friend of us recommended the hotel to us. We stayed there for 5 days and have to say : it was great ! The place is quiet with a great white sandy beach. Snorkeling just off the beach is wonderful with lots of fishes and corals. At sunset even sharks, manta rays... More

We spent almost a week in the White Sand Beach Resort and enjoyed it, even though we didn’t know what to expect after having read all these reviews here on Tripadvisor. Anyway, we had a really relaxed and romantic vacation with excursions to the blue lagoon and pink sand. To me that’s how paradise looks like: palm trees, white sandy... More

Sometimes I really feel ashamed of my co-citizens. I know myself how the Americans can be cruel if you don’t understand them fast enough (my mother tongue is Russian, but I have a US passport for 12 years now). Are you aware that – if somebody doesn’t understand your English right away – he doesn’t have to be stupid?? At... More

Opinions on this place are polarized and, according to a travel agent I talked to, getting increasingly negative. The truth is in the middle. If you don't dive, you should not come here. But if you do dive, Fakarava has some of the best diving in the world, and even with its faults and overly high pricing, White Sand is... More

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, based on my recent stay. At $340 per night [for 2 people] it was the worst money invested in an otherwise great Tahitian holiday. When you add the added expense of Air Tahiti it was about $1,000 spent for two nights in a bad accommodation. The Positive Aspects: 1) Beautiful white sand... More

We went to White Sand Beach Resort for the last stop in FP on our honeymoon in June and absolutely loved it. The simplicity of allowing the views, beach and water become your focal point was really amazing for my husband and I. The beach bungalow looked right out into the ocean (you could see it from bed!) and we... More

We stayed at the White Sand Beach Resort June 15-17, 2012. Our bungalow had air conditioning and the doors in the front open to your own piece of beach which is dotted with coral. Hans, who runs the hotel was gracious. Everyone was friendly and the service prompt. The view from the restaurant was the best we have had in... More
