White Sands Hotel is a wonderful little gem set in the heart of Waikiki. It's not fancy but the rooms are comfortable and there is a quaint tiki bar with swinging chairs and delicious food. The pool is small but offers comfortable loungers and other seating in a comfortable tropical surrounding. The area offers lots of restaurants, cafes and shopping very close by which makes it a perfect location for an affordable, comfortable stay.
