We stayed 5 nights. The best rooms are those in front of the sea. We stayed also in a garden view room, similar cleaness but without little balcony. The staff was very kind. Continental good breakfast served in a very nice opened restaurant in front of the beach. All the night there was a security guy around the bungalows. The... More

We spent three nights at White sands beach bungalows. The price we paid included breakfast, which was plenty. The free internet and cable television in the rooms were working well, and the staff were friendly and eager to help. There is a bicycle rental place next to the hotel where we rented bicycle and explored Jambiani village. The village people... More

Very good value, honest price. The manager is very helpful, modest and polite and does everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The service is increadible, the breakfast awesome! In White Sand they serve the best breakfast we had on our entire trip! And while you enjoy this lovely breakfast, you can enjoy a tremendous, breathtaking view.

Nice place but unfortunately on our last day all our money was stolen out of our room were it was hidden in a drawer. We had left the key with the reception which was probably not the best idea even though recommended. So a very bad finish of an otherwise acceptable but unspectacular stay.

Thanks for writing a review. I received a report that the guest lost around $80. We reasoned with the guest that there is a high probability that he has lost the cash on his way back from the pub a night before and not in the room as obvious other items were left intact including camera, a mobile phone and...

White Sand Bungalows is a small destination, with seven separate bungalows directly at the quiet side of Jambiani beach. The room was clean and cozy. Thanks to Neema and her friend (sorry we don`t know her name) for the good service. All the stuff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good and rich. The food was varied, spicy... More

Our 5-day holiday spent at Jambiani Whitesand was very comfortable. Our beach-view room was just on  the beach and we could  hear the waves.  We did enjoy the food and the staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. Jambiani is between Bwejuu-Paje  and Makunduchi. These are nearby villages worth visiting.  We stay on half board and the... More

Our experience was terrible...bad food, with prices variable by hour, lack of hospitality and people with are trying to cheat you every minutes. Surrounding is very poor, not like in the picture. Hussein especially is not business oriented.

This is the worst accommodation that my boyfriend and I have ever stayed at. We have traveled extensively, on several continents including Africa, and are not high-maintenance people.
