I booked for white sands and as a returning customer (who previously stayed at the Kantenah), I was very excited to stay at the white sanes side of the resort - however it turns out it was heavily under construction on that side and I spent all my time at the other 2 resorts. While the resorts are very beautiful and I have no complaints about them, I was looking forward to the beauty of white sands and was unable to see anything as everything was tarpped up. It was disappointing, especially since I previously got married here and wanted to revisit it, but it was closed. Also it was kind of dangerous that we had to walk along the roadway that the trollies drive on to get to the other resorts because of the construction. Especially dangerous at night time since there are no lights on this roadway. I would have very much loved to have seen the resort I booked at. I also woukd have like to kave known in advance that it was under construction and maybe I would have booked at the Kantenah or Colonial instead. I also did not enjoy being harassed every day by the TRS promoters trying to sell us on the members only buy in. I love the Grand Palladium resorts in the mayan riveira. I just wish we didnt book white sands under false pretenses. Construction is understandable for upkeep, but if I had known, it would have saved a lot of stress and hassle upon arrival.

The white sands resort was average. 3/5 Unfortunately, majority of the property is under construction at this time. I would highly recommend the colonial or TRS. Colonial lobby is the most beautiful lobby of all 4 resorts. However, after staying 5 nights at TRS, me and my wife agree that property was the best experience and offers so much more! Trs is the only exclusive property. So Kantenah, colonial, and white sands share all the amenities. Hope this help!

The people at the resort were absolutely the sweetest. Shout out to Efron who was always there to help out during dinner time with my toddler. The only downside was that the resort was under construction at the time, and the resort is huge. We would have to walk all the way around, which was quite tiring and time consuming, but thankfully they have little shuttles around the resort which made it a lot easier when you can catch one. Overall, great experience here!

Like: Everyday average staff. Nice, helpful, and accommodating. Dislike: Dated resort. Hard sell timeshare club sale. Food was average to poor at time. Transport around the resort was not organized unless you sign up for the club or were in TRS. Beach was a joke. No real beach in most locations. TRS and family select have ok beaches but still not what I expected. Most alcoholic drinks are watered down or bad brands unless you are in TRS or the club. White sands lobby smelled of sewage unsure if it was related to construction. AC and refrigerator were down at check in. Room service ordering was poor. They always left off one or two items.

It is far from everything so if you want to go and leave the resort and explore, it’s nearly impossible and very expensive White sand selection is doing renovations so you can’t even see the beauty of that property The rooms are horrible very outdated and the beds are very uncomfortable. Our AC wasn’t working the first night we got there and every day we called about hot water issues and we stayed in one bedroom villa. For the price we paid. I do not recommend this resort. It is really really big. The food quality is horrible. We ordered hamburgers for room service and we literally got ground beef patties raw. I mean, I understand because the resort is so big there are so many people you’re now fighting with quantity rather than quality
