White Sands Hotel (Honolulu, Hawaii) 2 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"There’s often a sense around Waikīkī that the best time to visit might have been a few decades ago, before the beachfront filled in with towers. White Sands Hotel proudly declares itself to be the “last of the vintage walk-up hotels,” and it’s exactly that: a low-rise, three-story compound oriented around a palm-lined swimming pool and plentiful lounge and garden space. It’s an intentional throwback to the Seventies, when Honolulu still felt like a world apart from the continental U.S., and when laid-back bohemianism had yet to be replaced by sanitized luxury." - Tablet Hotels
