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 the exterior of the building. The bedrooms were bright and very clean. The bed sheets and towels were changed every day and the man who cleaned our room made us smile with his swans and lilies that he made out of our towels. Our room was clean and spacious. We had a huge bed which we were grateful for - its nice to have space in bed when its so hot, no matter how much you love you partner! The bathroom was clean and big. We had air conditioning - wonderful. A balcony with table and chairs and a sea view. Every room has a mini bar which is stocked daily and is included in the All Inclusive.
FACILITIES
There is a large restaurant, a bar, swimming pool, sunbathing area and sea, games room and reception. The boys in the beach hut keep the pool and the beach area clean and ensure everyone has a parasol and sunbed. They provide beach towels. They organise trips at a fraction of the cost of the tour reps and are very helpful. The beach is fantastic. The water is clear and calm, due to the reef. We enjoy snorkelling and there were plenty of fish to see, especially to the left of the hotel. Pedaloes are available and so is windsurfing.
RESTAURANT
The restaurant is open from 7.30am-10am for a buffet breakfast. There was so much choice - cereals, fruits, yoghurts, full breakfast, omelettes, and pancakes. Lunch was also a buffet from 12.30pm-2.30pm. There were salads and about 3 hot dishes and then dessert. During the afternoon, there was a snack menu and afternoon tea was available. Dinner was served from 7.30pm - 10pm. 5 nights a week it was a set menu, with a choice of 2 main courses. But if you didn't like what was available, they'd happily cook you an alternative. On Wednesday and Saturday's was a huge buffet. So much food. And the desserts were to die for! I am now dieting!
STAFF
I can't write anymore about this wonderful hotel without mentioning the staff. They were fantastic. They are the reason people return year after year. They are so friendly. They pull your chair out in the restaurant and won't even let you pour your own water. At the bar they remember what you drink and anticipate if you want / need another. But they also chat to their customers and are encouraged to do so. In some hotels staff haven't time and are discouraged from chatting to customers. But that's not the case here. They love English football, so would discuss results, teams and players. We especially liked Dan the Restaurant Manager, Vishal, Vicky and Ryan. They just stick in my mind, but they were all very good.
TRIPS
We used our tour rep for one trip - a submarine trip. This was very expensive and there weren't that many fish. But it was still a nice morning out. We organised our other trips ourselves. We got a taxi for the day to the capital Port Lewis. It cost us £36 for the day and he showed us loads of sights. Another day we jumped on the local bus and went to Flak a local town. It had a few shops and a busy market. The boys in the beach hut organise several boat trips. We went across to Ile Aux Cerfs on their speedboat. It leaves from the beach; they took us to a waterfall, snorkelling and to a beautiful beach. We had a lobster BBQ on the beach by Le Touessrok golf course. We also took ourselves to the local water park. It was great fun being kids again playing on the slides. But some of the pools weren't that clean - I wouldn't take young children.
ENTERTAINMENT
Most nights there was entertainment in the restaurant after 9pm. Sometimes it was a group, or a singer. On Saturday was a disco - but he was limited on his songs. One night there was a Sega show - when some dancers show you the national dance and invite you to join in.
ALL INCLUSIVE
We went All Inclusive, but some stay half board. It was certainly better to be AL. All your meals were included, the mini bar, most bar drinks - including named brands and the use of water sports. The food is better than in any other AL I have ever been in. We certainly got value for money. We paid £1095 per person, which is very good for Mauritius, and with 2 over night flights we were away for 16 days. The AL finishes at 2pm on the day of your departure.
The customers at the hotel are varied ages and nationalities. At 31, we were one of the youngest couples there, but that didn't put us off. It was nice chatting to different people at the bar at night and trying to remember 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.
Advantages: The most friendly people on earth Disadvantages: A long way away
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, ...

Advantages: Beautiful Island Disadvantages: Hotel? Says who? I wonder where they got the stars!
...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 ...

...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! ...

Advantages: SUPERB, A GREAT HOLIDAY Disadvantages: HARDLY ANY - DISTANCE MAYBE
...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 ...

Advantages: Nice comfy and good quality Disadvantages: not many
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. ...
