Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

White Sands Cove is a hidden gem just north of San Pedro Town. From the time of our arrival to our departure Rosie and the staff of White Sands Cove made us feel comfortable and provided amazing service to my wife and I throughout our stay. Rosie scheduled our pick up at the airport, arranged a golf cart rental, and three amazing excursions during our stay making us feel we were at home. The food was awesome and the rum punch was cold. I highly recommend this resort! Thanks Rosie! The Martinsons.

We loved every minute at White Sands Cove! The staff, esp Rosie and Ricky, were helpful and welcoming. The property is SO pretty and well-maintained. Pool and beach areas offered shade from plenty of palm trees, a hammock, nice lounge chairs, and of course, a bar! We were able to borrow bikes everyday to ride around the island. The villas are spacious and have everything you need. This location is "north of the bridge" and therefore out of the hubbub of the center of town. But still a short golf cart ride or bike ride to plenty of restaurants. Highly recommend!

We stayed at the hotel next door and discovered White Sands Cove and their restaurant La Cala. We had appetizers 1 day and Dinner twice. There may have been a couple of trips to the bar as well. The food was wonderful, the facility was well maintained. A special shout out to Alec and Shaggy. We hope business is getting back to normal and you guys are doing well.

We just returned from our 1st trip to Belize. We extended our stay an additional week and found this hidden gem! Alec goes out of his way to make you feel at home. His staff Janelle, Shaggy, Candi & Rosie are an incredible team. There is nothing they will not do to make your stay easy and comfortable. Highly recommend this great little spot!

White Sands Cove is an incredible find for us. We initially flew into Belize City, then took a small plane from there to San Pedro. The flight only lasted 15 minutes. A cab from the resort was waiting for us to take us to White Sands Cove. Once we got there, we were greeted by Rose. She had our luggage taken to our villa, while we were seated in the outdoor bar, with complimentary drinks. She gave us the lay of the land. We later met Alec, the owner, and he too, was quite affable. Let me just say it now, everyone was very nice, and fun to hang out with. The morning bartender was Ginell (sp?). You can get free coffee, as well as order breakfast. She shared with us places to go to like the Secret Beach, (It’s called that, but everyone knows where it is, so it’s not much of a

We had our second visit to WSC planned for May 2020 but obviously had to delay the trip. Once we heard things were opening up on Ambergris Caye we booked our trip for the week of Christmas. We were met by Alec and his staff and enjoyed their hospitality and attention during our stay. We felt very safe with the steps they have taken regarding COVID. WSC and the island as a whole have taken precautions which make it safer than it is here in the States in my humble opinion. As usual, the grounds were immaculate, water was clear, drinks were cold and food was delicious! We're planning trip #3 sometime this summer.

Just got back from our fourth stay at white sands cove. It truly gets better every time. The place is absolutely beautiful. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Perfect location out of the hustle and bustle of town. But still close enough to bars, restaurants, secret beach etc. Not a huge mega resort if that’s your thing. Staff will help you with anything to get you around to experience a great stay on Ambergris Caye

White Sands Cove markets itself as a resort / hotel, and i think this is misleading and setting the wrong expectations. The property is actually owned by several private owners who then effectively rent their appartment/studio/bedroom when they are not there. As this is managed centrally as a client you are none the wiser. On the plus side, it means the rooms are big and equiped so you could cook for yourself. On the other hand, there isn't the amenities and more importantly there isn't the vide of a hotel. We went in January and the residents seemed to be mainly the owners of the flats (70+ retired couples). Even though the surroundings are beautiful, and there is a pool bar, there isn't much atmosphere at all. The beach is nicely kept but due to the wall edge you don't really

Great resort! Beautiful location. Clean. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Stayed in the 2 bedroom condo and it was perfect. Was steps from the pool, beach and restaurant. Great food. Rented a golf car for 2 days to drive around to San Pedro and to secret beach. We did book transportation through them to/from the airport and our flight from BZE to/from San Pedro through them and it was flawless. We stopped to get food at a grocery store that had limited options. The only recommendation would be that the beds were not the most comfortable. In spite of that, we’d highly recommend them!

We were looking for a short weekend getaway to Belize since we had never traveled here before, so my wife found White Sands Cove Resort. It looked just right and was it ever. Very quaint, secluded, quiet and relaxing. Accommodations are not too fancy, but just what we love, to feel like we are on the beach and not in a high rise hotel on the Vegas strip. The bar and pool were perfect with great food choices. They offer cart rentals and can book your snorkeling trip to have you picked up right at the dock on their property. It's also very convenient between San Pedro and Secret Beach. We will definitely be back soon!!

Thank you so much for your amazing review! We are thrilled to hear you had an amazing time on your first visit to Belize. The resort is just in the right location, away the busy town which makes it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the amazing view of our shimmering waters in the Caribbean. The food is so good! there's not enough words to express the delicious food Belize have to offer. Here at the resort, our dishes are beyond fantastic, so glad you got to enjoy it, as well with the accommodation the resort has to offer. We are so happy we had you guys as our guest. We truly hope you guys decide to come back very soon! Once again thank you so much for your review.
