Silver Beach Hotel

Man sieht dem Hotel sein Alter an, aber das ist zweitrangig. Die Lage direkt am Strand ist einfach traumhaft, die Gartenanlage sehr schön und gepflegt. Sehr hervorheben möchten wir den hervorragenden Service. Alle Angestellten sind überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend, namentlich Kavi, Mia und Tivesh. Aber auch alle Kollegen - an der Rezeption, im Restaurant, an der Bar, der Zimmerreinigung - sind immerzu freundlich und umsichtig dabei sich zu kümmern, dass die Gäste sich wohlfühlen. Was uns besonders gefallen hat, ist die sehr leckere, abwechslungsreiche, frische und häufig lokale Küche. Der Mauritius-Abend war besonders lecker. Nochmals herzlichen Dank an das Küchenteam. Wir haben es sehr genossen. Alles in allem: herzlichen Dank, wir kommen wieder. The hotel looks its age, but this doesn't matter at all. The location directly at the beach is simply perfect and the garden is very nice and well maintained. We would especially like to highlight the great service. All staff is extremely friendly and corteous, namely Kavi, Mia and Tivesh. But all other colleagues, too - at the front desk, in the restaurant, at the bar and the staff cleaning rooms & hotel facilities - everybody is very kind and doing their best to make the guests feel comfortable and welcome. What we really enjoyed was the very tasty, fresh and local cuisine with a lot of variety. The Mauritius dinner was very delicious. Once again, thank you to the chef and the kitchen team. We've enjoyed it a lot. Alltogether: thank you very much, we'll be back.

We arrived very tired after travelling for nearly 24 hours , check in was very basic as was reception, not a great welcome feeling. We had breakfast straight away as we arrived at 8.00 am , breakfast was ok with a decent offering if cooked items and pancakes as well as fruit . We slept most of the day after eating and on waking realised we only had 1 bottle of water some of which we had drunk on arrival to last us till morning, I went to reception to ask for more till morning and was told each room only had 1 bottle per day. Really ! After thinking about it back in the room I found this hard yo beleive do I returned to reception to query this , eventually after 15 minutes of complaining to the guy he relented andcsaid he would send us another bottle to the room . Not a promising start , we're they really that tight they couldn't provide more water ? Anyway in summary, bad points , food choices very limited if you like meat , only ever 1 choice of meat with evening meal, 1 night was beef which was rarely cooked , another night was lamb which was mainly fat abd again barely cooked, after complaining to the restaurant manager Dan , who was very helpful and did his utmost to resolve this , I was served a lovely meal of steak and chips cooked to my liking by the chef. Tbh it never really improved despite Dan's efforts and was told off the record by a couple of members of staff it was all down to the management not allowing the catering staff to buy better ingredients down to costs. The rooms were in desperate need of upgrading and the restaurant was still looking like it hadn't been improved since the hotel opened in 1984 ! The whole hotel although only a 3 star is in desperate need of investment and is in several areas very scruffy and worn out , the paintwork is dirty especially on the banister handrails on the main staircase , see pics attached. Good points, fantastic beach and waterfront setting , the staff are a credit to the hotel a few of whom are very loyal and longserving but apparently do not receive the recognition they deserve, ie Dan & Malina in the restaurant. Overall we feel we were vastly overcharged for our 10 night all inclusive stay which was to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary! I would definitely not recommend this hotel as value for money, there are much nicer hotels available on the island from what we heard whilst there.

This hotel was amazing! The staff were wonderful. Dan and Malina were attentive and very friendly. When we arrived they made a fuss of us for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. The room was big, had a fridge and kettle large bathroom all immaculate. Cleaned daily and new towels everyday. The bar staff served the best cocktails 🍹 and soft drinks on tap. The beach at the hotel should get more credit, we travelled to many of the main public beaches around Mauritius and would say the hotel at the beach was better than most. White soft sand and amazing blue clear swimming area. My husband snorkels and just outside on the reef seen many species including lion fish and puffer fish. I am a very fussy eater I don’t like a lot of foods like fish, tomato, butter and sauces. However there was not one meal where I did not find something I could eat. The food was lovely and well cooked and if you were particularly fussy or kids they would make fries and chicken or steak. The breakfast was amazing great choice both continental and cooked breakfast as well as an egg station and pancake bit. Daytrips can be organised by the front desk and not too expensive. All in all I would highly recommend the Silver Beach to anyone looking for a relaxed experience. Thank you to everyone at Silver Beach for giving us the holiday of a lifetime.
