White Sands

[Blandy1]

Have stayed at White Sands & Fun Holiday, of the 2, I would pick White Sands. Sunrise Club is across the road from the beach, had breakfast there & it was good. Food & drink at Fun Holiday was not that great. Nice beach area at White Sands, food was good & they have a different 2 for 1 drink special everyday. Hope this helps.

Love the location of White Sands

I've stayed at both WS and FH. I choose FH I like the location a little better (across the street from the Jungle, next to Roots, close to Alfreds and Sunnyside Bar). I like the beach at both. I never do AI, but I have eaten at both and they are both OK. I think the food at FH improved last time (november'13). Bar is better at WS, say wasup to Tony for me!

WS has rooms on both beach side and morass side - FH is beachside only. If you are getting same price at WS as FH - be sure it's for a beachside room for apples-to-apples price comparison. I've stayed FH before, but not the other two - although have eaten/drank at both.
The things I liked about FH - price, their pool fronts the beach and they have in-pool bar, and the location (Roots 2 doors down and Alfred's an easy walk).
The things about FH I didn't like so much - agree the food is nothing special, but fine if too tired to go out. And the rooms were very basic and seemed a little run down - like had seen too many spring breaks (although clean/safe - which is all I really care about).
All in all, I would stay again at FH.
WS - Has a good beach bar with different daily special - best Dirty Banana on the beach, IMHO. Used to be no TVs in the rooms - but I hear some might have them now?
Sunrise - probably the best food of the three. But as was pointed out before, morass side only - so if go to the beach daily will have to find a place. Not too much of a problem - Bourbon Beach, Mama Flo's, and Sunbeach Bar sort of cater to this - I'm sure there are others.

Hey Russ12 I have to give my vote for White sands I think it has one of the best locations on the beach. Very central easy to walk anywhere. I have stayed many times I love it.

I have stayed at both WS and FH... my pick is FH! The location is great as is the price. I also like that the beds and rooms are bigger at FH then WS (we had single beds at WS). I have only had breakfast at FH and it was just ok, but with the location you have many other restaurants to choose from. We always bring/buy our own booze, so don't use their bar too often, but if I recall correctly they don't have a very big assortment and the Red Strip is on tap.
Only 87 more days and the STL Party Crew arrives!
