I was visiting a friend volunteering for the Peace Corps just down the road so my location was critical. Was pleasantly surprised upon arriving at the White Sands resort. My room was well apportioned and very clean. It looked out through palms to a beautiful white sand beach and ocean. They even strung a hammock just outside my door which made for excellent down time. The road in is in pretty bad shape but they are looking to repair it. It adds to the rustic flavor! This is a very small and quiet resort There was no loud music or flurry of activity. It was wonderfully relaxed. The soon to be new owners have lots of fantastic plans to upgrade the property so I will be sure and return to check those out. I did visit the resorts further north and found them to be loud and rather cheesy. Bottom line is for the cost this is a wonderful place to stay in western Tonga.

We loved our stay and our welcoming hosts- staff was great!

Sticky rusty floors, no aircon, damaged windows, fans that have so much dirt on it you cannot see the metal. Oh and there is no water the next day. It’s one of the worst places I’ve stayed in. And oh, it’s NOT a white sand beach. Coarse ugly beach. Can’t believe I flew all the way to Tonga for this dump!

It’s a dump!

The photos are exactly what you expect. Its a small resort with an amazing private beach. The owner was accommodating and it was so relaxing. You do need to bring your own food and drinks but there is a kitchen area to use.I loved it as its more laid back and back to basics then a full on resort and more private. I would definitely come back here again!

really nice place. Very spacious rooms. No wifi or cell phone network in the rooms but if drive 1-5 min you will find coverage.
Friendly staff and we appreciated that there was almost nobody else in the resort. Good for people looking for chill and quite place.

Nice!

What a beautiful setting. I had the best view of Tonga Tapu from my deck, right by the water. The owners and staff are very polite, friendly and accommodating. I have stayed at a few different resorts, bed n breakfasts, lodges and backpackers since being in Tonga and I found White Sands  to be the best and just what I needed. Booked in for a week and will be staying another week. Thank you Gloria, Marissa, Bessie and Richard for making my stay a very pleasurable experience indeed. Sunday Umu was great and tge sunsets from my deck...Exceptional. Arohanui Charmaine

The Tonga National Basketball Team have players from all over the world who came to Tonga for team camp prior to the Pacific Games 2019.  We were fortunate to stay at White Sands Beach Resort for the duration of our stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time out at the beach.  The resort quickly became a second home to us as the staff and management made us feel welcomed and cared for.  Nothing was too difficult and although some facilities were damaged from the recent cyclone this did not detract from the peaceful beauty of the resort and surroundings.  Thank you Gloria for hosting us!

It is in a beautiful coral beach that caters both Tourists and localsIt is a friendly place for women alone and familiesIt is better to have a carNo restaurant for now ... I cooked,for,myself.... The owners gave me a ride To the Bring water shoes to walk on the rocksBeautiful place

This resort is more of an experience than a resort, and not the type that most travellers are expecting or desire. Imagine a 1990s car with rust, a broken radio, missing hubcaps, temperamental headlights, and an aweful noise for each action. That car is in the same family as this resort. Our room was first quite dirty with cob webs and bugs, with no working bathroom light (lamp on the floor as a replacement). We shared the room with ghekos, mice, and a colony of ants. The running water smelled foul, sometimes didn't exist, and the hot water heaters weren't always functional. We also initially didn't have bathroom towels provided (received them on the third night). There was a lot of false advertising, including no pool or conditioning, and the amenities on site are not what you'd expect from a resort located a long ways from a shop. We stayed 11 months after the cyclone reaked havoc on their property, but not much was restored. The place is quite worn down, the owners are friendly, but I was disappointed in the lost potential of the property. With some effort the beach could be free from pollution, the tables and chairs on the beach could be set upright and level, the guest rooms could be fixed up so they all close and the holes in the screen are patched up. There could be a little shop on site with water, non-perishable  Digicel tu

Firstly, I am seasoned traveler, reasonable person and very accommodating. I have stayed in backpackers and 6 star hotels. I am struggling to find a SINGLE thing that this place has to offer that was worth the money I paid. 

A backpackers would have been an upgrade. Awful awful accommodation. You'd need a 4x4 to access it safely as its literally in the middle of nowhere. The beach is not swim-able and is poorly maintained. This place reeks of imminent shutdown. There are NO amenities. Major FALSE ADVERTISING. No Wifi, No Air Con, Windows don't close, moldy sheets, battered mattresses, NO FOOD,(except a continental breakfast apparently, which would not be served to me as I was 20min early. 08:10am!!)  Nothing available to purchase. Ant, fly and mosquito infested. I had brought a bottle of water with me and asked a friendly neighbor if there was anything around in the area I could purchase some food/drinks. No. He knocked on my door some time after with some noodles as he felt sorry for me.

 It will cost you $80 in a taxi, and about 45min to get there from the airport. And the best bit ??? THE MANAGER. A completely lethargic, unprofessional, unfriendly individual who didn't have the decency to even introduce herself. On arrival I asked for a fan, she looked around confused and said "i'll see if there's something lying around" She never returned. She never asked me would I like anything or how I was, my name, nothing. She couldn't have been more unhelpful, and rude frankly. 

I had booked 5 nights, I immediately checked out the next morning and found alternative accommodation. Any chance of a refund ?? haha a blatant refusal to refund, for any reason, not interested in any customer complaint. It baffles the mind how this place is in business, especially when you consider the price. I'm guessing the positive reviews here are from friends.
