Silver Beach Hotel

I stayed for a week in July there. I really enjoyed my stay except for some things that left me unsatisfied. Only when service, hospitality, and cuisine come together perfectly can a hotel offer a truly enjoyable moment. The staff at the reception were everytime friendly and helpful. The food was not bad in all which was price ratio moderately correct, but boring. Many waiters’ behaviour was unprofessional some of them seemed not to have good knowledge about their profession and how to behave correctly and treat a client politely and discretely. Although this is also part of the hospitality, not just the food count. Some waiters keep walking from one end of the room to the other both hand in pocket, or sometime arms crossed, sometime even yawning, One of them, a two meters big guy, never greet me when I came in. He moved like a dead man walking. The cooks serving the hot meal at the buffet were almost unfriendly, giving me the impression that I am not welcome there. When I came with my plate for the main course, they seem not to have seen me and then stood there like a robot. The Sega dance performed by the locals in the evening didn’t quite live up to expectations. It felt uninspired and became monotonous due to the constant repetition of the same rhythm.

The hotel is rather small and very quiet, ideal for a relaxing holiday. Rooms (at least ours) have been recently renovated and are very comfortable and spacious Pools, beach and restaurant usually not crowded Staff very friendly On the less positive: Sea in front of the hotel is not great. Water gets immediately deep and (at least during our week) it is not ideal for snorkeling. Also the bay is very open so the sea can get choppy. Food (which is good anyway) tends to be a bit repetitive It's not a proper "all inclusive": you get drinks at the bar but no snacks or food, and the bar closes at 21.00. This is reflected in the price, so not necessarily a negative. The bar only serves carbonated drinks... Final consideration: if you're driving around and use the hotel to rest and relax, it's perfect. A whole week static at the hotel may proove boring

Ein kleines Hotel in die Jahre gekommen. Der Service ist top. Essen gut. Getränke ok. Das Personal sehr freundlich. Strand sauber. Badeschuhe sind ein Muss. Massage sehr gut. Urlaub zum Entspannen, da keinerlei Animation. Garten ist auch sehr gepflegt. Ostküstr ist sehr windig, mich hat es nicht gestört. Abendprogramm, der Sänger war nichts. Aber der Afrikanische Abend war super. Leider gibt es Ausserhalb keinerlei Bars. Ausflüge habe ich bereits über Deutschland alles gebucht bei einem Deutscheguide war super.

We stayed for 6 nights as Honeymooners. Even though they are in need of a face lift/renovations, the cleanliness of the rooms and communal areas were pristine. The food and drinks variety was amazing and always delicious. We tried everything we weren’t familiar with. There was something different to choose from everyday for lunch and dinner. The staff will go out of their way to accommodate any request you have to make your stay more pleasurable and are really friendly. We loved our stay. Will definitely go back.

UN EHPAD FACE À LA MER. La mention de « Silver » aurait dû nous mettre la puce à l’oreille.. Bien triste ambiance dans cet hôtel, qui nous a fait regretter notre précédent hôtel de Trou aux biches. Décoration, animation et population, tout était là pour nous rappeler que nous n’étions pas à notre place. Si vous avez moins de 60 ans, fuyez ! Buffet avec très peu de choix pour un hôtel de cette taille, pire encore, les morceaux de viandes et de poissons sont servis à l’assiette par les chefs en très petites portions. Quand bien sûr les pâtes, riz et autres féculents sont disponibles en grande quantité et en accès libre à tout moment. Une impression de quémander lorsque nous demandions aux chefs un supplément en viande ou en poisson, sans compter le regard dédaigneux et les mots glissés à leurs collègues en créole. La stratégie « All inclusive » est bien établie pour maximiser les profits. À cela, ajoutons une « animation » le soir : des reprises de Mike Brant chantées dans la salle de restauration jaune où l’ambiance « self cantine en maison de retraite » est omniprésente. C’est dommage, car cet hôtel a un beau potentiel au vu de son emplacement face à la mer, malgré beaucoup de vents (côte EST oblige). Nous n’avons donc pas pu profiter du kayak et pédalo. Nous aurions aimé être informés de ces éléments avant de prendre notre décision de réserver une semaine au Silver Beach. En espérant que cet avis pourra aider d’autres personnes à faire leur choix.

We stayed here many many years ago. Really enjoyed it. Food was very good indeed. Drinks very good. Lovrly chalet on the beach very clean. We made lots of friends and had a regular long table of about 16 people for dinner. Staff absolutely excellent. Very friendly. Could not do enough for you. We all got on so well we had a football game between staff and holiday makers. I ended up singing a few times with the band. One of the best holidays ever. Would love to go back.
