Newer resort across the lagoon from town. Was pretty much empty when we visited. Rooms was large and well decorated and furnished. Large decks provide big views. Centrally located fresh pool is available but did not look clean. Hotel uses a water taxi style boat to shuttle you back and forth to town. Water taxi schedule is posted but not strictly adhered to. From the resort transfers to area beaches easy to arrange and reasonably valued. Local tours easy to arrange at hotel while you pay an extra 20% or so as compared to making your own arrangements. Restraunt appears to be facing some challenges in maintaining adequate inventory of some menu items. Generally speaking the prep and dish quality of meals we did order was average to better than average... the exception being the cevishee which contained only snapper as protein. Food/drink pricing is high but you have to go across the lagoon to do better. We found the staff here very approachable and fluent speakers of English. We genuinely enjoyed the conversations we had with staff. The only negatives are the coffee pot not cleaned after previous guests and beach style towels unavailable to take around.

Start to finish this resort was top notch service and care! In a time of covid, they were clean, careful, and conscientious. Like many other reviews, you will see that every person you encounter you will know by name and will have a passion for the service they provide. The sheer logistics of how they manage everyone on the island and their activities is just amazing and it makes for a perfect relaxing tropical experience. Let me take you through a typical day. You wake up to your coffee and tea (with all the fixing on how you like it) outside your cabana at 6am or whenever you want to wake up. Go to breakfast and they have a menu of delicious food served EXACTLY how you specify and need. I can't emphasize the care that goes into making each guests menu preferences right! SPOT ON! They come around and take your temperature and ask what you have planned or tell you about your day based on what you already scheduled for activities. What you should do, who you should see, what you should wear, etc. Everything is handled, you want to go fishing, just ask, you want to go skuba, just ask, you want a massage, just say, you want to try your hand at sailing, just let someone know. Tours of Mayan Ruins, Ziplining, Cave tubing, you can do it all! And they handle everything just show up! Relax on the beach and on a whim decide to go kayake and see the manatee., or take your coffee watching the sunrise on new years day! Best vacation spot, will be back!

White Sands Cove is a welcoming place with private rooms, a gathering area, and very polite staff. They have taken the extra steps for cleanliness and safety and the manager Alec is very helpful and you can tell he loves his job. Thank you White Sands for a great stay!
