Everything you need is within 2 minutes walk. Not for anyone looking for an island escape but if you just want a no frills, comfortable place to base yourself and like your shopping and nightlife then it’ll do you nicely. The southern end of the beach isn’t the best, so you’ll find a better stretch of sand a few minutes walk north.
It’s a good deal, especially for families, as the Deluxe Quadruple Rooms which have two double beds (sleeping 4 people) for around 2,500 Baht / night are very competitively priced. There’s even a swimming pool and garden area tucked away at the rear of the hotel where you can relax and sunbathe in peace.
There are some issues with noise form nearby bars, but kudos to the management for informing guests about this when they make a booking. Alina Grande Hotel isn’t an ideal place if you enjoy the sounds of silence. But if you plan on being out on the town or don’t mind a bit of bass late night, then it’s good value.
However, if you are a light sleeper then go for the rooms on the north side of the building are recommended. That’s the quiet side of the building.
😀 - The location, room, pool with restaurant the staff were all great we have used this hotel a few times now and it's great for us. We really enjoyed staying here. It's a special place for us. 😞 - All is good with this place the only thing is that it is hard to get parking at times. Apart from that it is 🪭 fantastic 😍.

😀 - The location was great, the access to white sand beach was just across the road and there are many restaurants nearby. The room was spacious and the view from the balcony was great too. The staff were really nice and they offered motorbike rental for 250baht per day which is very cheap 😞 - On arrival The bedsheets on the bed were stained and when I asked the staff to change them they put on a set which had a big hole in it. The WiFi was only available in the hallway and didn’t work in our room. The pool is very big however the tiles on the pool floor and walls are sharp and need to be retailed as myself and my younger sister had cut ourselves on them a couple of times.

Mostly good 😀 - Nice stay, the room was spacious for the 3 of us and felt very comfortable. The hotel itself is a little dated but that wasn't an issue for us. The main thing we found was that it was just an old mens place to stay. There were 15 old men round the pool and it just felt a bit uncomfortable. Not sure why the target audience was for them but if you're a female probably worth knowing that. The pool was bit dirty and we didn't really enjoy the food. But overall it was a pleasant stay

I would recomend everybody as budget friendly option at White Sand. 😀 - Perfect location for good price. Staff was super friendly and we spoke even to owner at evening pool. Breakfast include selected meal + toasts with butter and jam + little bananas + watter/juice/caffe/tea. Pork on basil is recomended. Hotel bar at pool has same prices as 7/11 and good drinks with enough alcohol. We enjoyed our time there. 😞 - Little more bugs then expected as well as little outdated equipment/facilities, but nothing too bad for offered price. Little friendly gecko helped us with insects.

An old hotel,but clean and comfortable,well worth the price for a room also staff very nice 😀 - Staff very friendly 😞 - Pool and location
We were put in the Alina on the beach first of all which was extremely old and run down. Shower and handbasin did not work and the bed was dirty. The following morning we moved across the road to the main hotel which was excellent. Would definitely recommend as a value-for-money hotel.
Nice hotel. Very clean, basic and good value for money. Casual and easy going. Would stay here again.
