Really good Dining Experience

I loved dining at the Minazi restaurant, which is open 24/7. The fresh pizzas, milkshakes, and extensive menu made every meal a delight. Plus, the staff was always attentive to our needs. Special thanks to Vincent for ensuring I had gluten-free options during my stay!

Relaxing Spa Retreat

During my stay, I enjoyed the spa's half-hour massage that was included in our package. The facilities looked fantastic, with modern equipment and a soothing atmosphere perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun.

Spacious and Comfortable Room

Our garden-facing room was incredibly spacious and well-equipped with all the amenities we needed. The daily cleaning service kept everything immaculate, and the views of the pools were icing on the cake.

Fun Evening Entertainment

The evening entertainment was often a highlight of our stay! The animation team was enthusiastic, especially during the water aerobics and themed nights at Coco's Bar, where we made many enjoyable memories and met wonderful people like Lucky and Gideon.

I had a fantastic stay at Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa, where the beautiful beachfront location and lush gardens truly set the scene for a relaxing vacation. The service from the staff was exceptional, making me feel welcomed and appreciated throughout my visit. However, some aspects like the check-in process could use improvement, as it took longer than expected. Overall, it's a great place for a beach getaway, but minor improvements could enhance the experience further.

I had a fantastic stay at Sarova Whitesands! The location is perfect, right by a lovely beach, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The dining options were a mixed bag though; while I enjoyed the mobility of the All Inclusive package, some restaurants, particularly Lido, didn’t meet my culinary expectations. The cleanliness of the rooms and amenities is commendable, but a few improvements could definitely elevate the experience. Overall, it’s a great place for a beach holiday, and I'd happily go back.

Our stay was quite a mixed bag at this hotel. While the friendly staff and improved rooms were definite highlights, we faced significant issues with our bookings, which created unnecessary stress. The dining options were decent overall, but more variety would have enhanced the experience. The facilities, particularly the gym, could use some upgrades, especially given that we were unable to enjoy the beach due to weather concerns.
