Silver Beach Hotel

Staff were (on the whole ) rude, the food was very poor with no vegetarian option. When I asked they answered (in an abrupt manner) if I had informed them in advance. I pointed out that it was quite normal for a hotel to have vegetarian options not just vegetables. They have a ridiculous dress policy of men must wear long trousers for dinner and closed shoes, which isn't communicated anywhere. I had to buy trousers for my son or they would have refused him entry to the restaurant! The place is old, with paint peeling in numerous places. Overall the experience we had and attitude of the staff was so bad that we left five days early. Not a single member of Management approached to ask why we are leaving early, which sums them up.

Silver beach is incredible! Food is brilliant, there sure are few options at every meal, 2/3 options of either fish, beef, pork or chicken. Every lunch and dinner are different. Our favourite was anything that was made in their bchamel sauce and their crme caramel. Pork, beef and shellfish are all served together just FYI for any food aversions. Their bar serves local gin,vodka,rum,whiskey and local wine - all made from sugar cane. The beer is Phoenix on tap. We had endless cocktails on the beach and in the bar. Their vanilla rum is amazing. You can snorkel directly from the beach in front of the hotel and lots of beautiful tropical fish. Bring your goggles and flippers, you dont want to miss it! Bring a good pair of comfortable sandals/aqua socks for long beach walks and days at the pool. Make sure they have good grip as tiles here are slippery when wet. Dinner is more formal and has a dress code-no shorts or slops and a shirt for men. The rooms are cleaned beautifully every day and the linen is good quality. Towels are supplied for the room and beach so no need to bring any with. Vaping is illegal. FYI. No vapes. But smoking is allowed in the designated area. The hotel employees are so hard working and in the heat they deserve a medal. Children are allowed but no child care/kids club and I would not bring babies here, it is hot and humid and lots of fun and loud music and fireworks-all awesome for kids and adults but babies dont exactly love it. It was so wonderful to be somewhere where we felt so safe anywhere we went. Mauritius is an incredible place and we highly recommend Silver Beach. If I had to give a downside it would be that doing laundry there is seriously expensive.

A lower cost All Inclusive hotel and the first impression was it shows. The reception is basic bordering on barren and the check in welcome wasn't much better. Our sea view room was clean with nice bed clothes and towels, TV, fridge, safe, a/c, WiFi but the room does have a dated look with the furniture newly painted but a drab green colour. The low cost also showed itself in the limited array of choices both at breakfast buffet and dinner. Drinks offered on AI were decent beer, wines, local alcohol with mixers and a small selection of cocktails. The saving graces were the very good white sand beach and stunning blue sea and the staff. The waiters dinner and breakfast, at the bar, even the beach towels chap, all very friendly and efficient, better than some more expensive hotels we've stayed in. All in all good value for money although the repetitive limited range of food might become irksome after 5 days.
