Our stay at White Sands was pretty much perfect the entire way through. We stayed in a suite, which was the perfect size, it was always spotless thanks to the cleaning staff, and my personal highlight was the jacuzzi bath, which we used on our one rainy morning. We tried both archery and rifle shooting with the wonderful Paula. She was so fantastic at teaching and it was a really fun activity to do. Jovani was one of my favourites of the bar staff. He served us at both the sports bar and the adults only pool. He made a custom cocktail for us and always remembered our order. The drinks were so delicious and he was really fun to be around. For breakfast and lunch we ate at the buffet, which was consistently a super high standard. I can barely believe the enormous range always on offer. For dinner, our standouts were the Brazilian BBQ and Mexican restaurant, as well as Poseidon, which we booked for sunset down on the beach. A really incredible experience. We also discovered that there is a new cafe just outside of the lobby area of white sands. Wendy and her team made us super welcome and the space itself was very chic. I personally spent a lot of my mornings at the gym, which was really well equipped, especially for a hotel gym. It was totally spotless every time I went there.
