Silver Beach Hotel (Mauritius)

...2 week holiday at the Silver Beach Hotel, on the East Coast of Mauritius. It's a 3 * hotel, with 5 * service. ACCOMMODATION We arrived at Silver Beach early afternoon, tired from a 12 hour flight. We were given a warm welcome by the staff and had a lovely refreshing cocktail, whilst we filled in our registration card. Our first impression was that the hotel was a little plain and could do with a coat of paint - but that was just the corridors and ...
...French and German learnt at school. Finally we will certainly be returning to the Silver Beach Hotel. Many people do. Most of the people we met have been returning for years - surly that tells you how good it is. It's a 3* hotel with 5* service. Wonderful. ...

Review of Silver Beach Hotel (Mauritius)

We visited Silver Beach Hotel on Mauritius in September 2001 on an all inclusive package holiday with Kuoni. For my wife this was a return visit as she had lived there with the Royal Navy 30 years ago. The whole experience was a delight from start to finish. The Silver Beach really is set right on the beach and comprises two kinds of accomodation. The main hotel is a 3 storey building, every room has a view of the sea and being on the east coast ...
...in the gardens of the hotel which is very pretty. All rooms are air conditioned and have a refrigerator (mini-bar) which is restocked daily with beer and soft drinks. It is very much a couples hotel as there is no childrens play area. There are lots of activities for grown-ups in the hotel. Snorkelling equipment is free and there is plenty to look at within a few yards of the hotels beach. Bicycles are free, if you can find the energy to use one, ...

Review of Silver Beach Hotel (Mauritius)

...tricked by brochures. The Silver Beach Hotel on the east coast of Mauritius is a 3 star (the third star is your good will) hotel. I was there in April 2000 on an all-inclusive family package holiday. I got this deal with British Airways Holidays, a reminder that the good names in the travel agency market mean absolutely nothing as we enter the new millennium. If you want an all-inclusive holiday, with ALL INCLUSIVE then don’t go to the Silver Beach ...
...times during my stay; meals were only buffet-style once a week, i.e. you get a set course (that you CANNOT repeat) during most of the week, and the bar (the only existing bar) shuts at 11pm. There is a (always empty) swimming pool, a games room, and a bar, and… that’s it. I must confess when I asked if the meat they were serving and advertising as beef was truly beef (as it did not taste as such) and the hotel manager told me “I don’t know”, I was ...

Review of Silver Beach Hotel (Mauritius)

...have just returned from the Silver Beach, having read the reviews on CIAO and some other websites. I went with trepidation for my honeymoon, not enitrely sure what awaited me. I was surprisingly impressed, the hotel is a 3*+ though despite this it was very good. Room: Was a decent size with a king size bed. We didn't get a sea view room due to the hotel being pretty full. Theirs also a mini bar which is stocked daily with soft drinks and the local ...
...music/dancing this may not suit you. I'm sure there are 5* hotels - which promise more, but the Silver Beach was more than adequate for our means. In my opinion, it was great and if you're on a limited budget this would be the place to go. Go there! ...

Review of Silver Beach Hotel (Mauritius)

...just had a holiday at Silver Beach Hotel, Mauritius. I cannot fault it really, the accomodation, staff, food, beach were all excellent. I went with my Sister and best friend, we had 2 glorious weeks there, we had the threat of cyclone Hennie, which albeit a little scary, quite exciting too, we were WELL looked after by ALL the staff. The rooms were spotless, cleaned everyday, including fresh bedding EVERY DAY. the bar staff were all really nice, ...
...come to the restaurant staff... OUTSTANDING!!! if you go there, watch out for Kamlesh, he is an absolute sweetie, head waiter.. he smiles all the time, and he is such a nice lad, you will want to bring him home with you. Dan..... (manager).. a fabulous man, and a great ambassador to the hotel, was ALWAYS there, and often took the time to pop over to your table to ask about your day and to see if there was any problems. I REALLY CANNOT fault anything ...

Review of Silver Beach Hotel (Mauritius)

I went to the Silver Beach in March 2001 for my Honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed it. The weather was perfect, staff all excellent and could not do enough for you. The entertainment was good and we got on really well with the 'Country Boys' and ended up on stage with them!! The bar was nice with drinks all day and we enjoyed it so much we will be going back soon and taking our friends. Taxi's are available outside the front door to take you anywhere ...
...shop. Meals are very good and the buffets are great. Breaksfast too are plentiful and very nice. The beach is great with coral and tropical fish to view just off the beach - I highly reccomend the snorkelling, together with the pool in the grounds. Watersports a plenty and air conditioned rooms too!! On the whole a nice hotel with just what I wanted and I would happily go again, and take friends. ...

Review of Silver Beach Hotel (Mauritius)

...a 3 week holiday at silver beach hotel. After reading many positive reviews we were very disappointed to find that the hotel fell short of these. The pool is extremely small, deep and lies directly in front of the restaurant. The service was overbearing and annoying. We were frequently moved after sitting down to eat as we had not sat at the table we sat at on the first night. They were obsessed with clearing cutlery and plates disturbing your conversation, ...
...that particular time even though i had said this was not necessary. The rooms were of a good standard and the location was good. All in all mauritius offered some fantastic experiences and a great holiday but i would not recommend that you explore them from the silver beach hotel ...

Review of Silver Beach Hotel (Mauritius)

Dear Reader, The hotel is on first impression not as up market as the surrounding 5 stars but really very acceptable, however the food is absolutely fab. My partner an ex chef could not fault the food and friendly service and nor could I. The hotel is very nice, we visited other 5 star hotels on the island and found the staff at SBH could not be bettered. This hotels friendliness can't be bottled! Dan the Manager of the resturant has come from ...
...second to none. Would we go back, yes we would and the hotel area have the best beaches on the island we took 10 days exploring the island to prove it. You must go to Grand Bay and experience 50 meter diving to the coral reefs in a submarine, a truly memorable experience to see fish much bigger than I had imagined, word of warning haggle as they are too inflexible but if you push them. It's not cheap but it is worth double!! Hire a car but make ...
