Silversands Grenada

This is an outstanding property! Rooms very comfortable, clean, and well furnished. Restaurant has good food and a good bartender. Of course the pool…goes on forever! Clean grounds, fantastic staff…and airport transfers in a Tesla! Well worth it.

We really liked the facilities at the Silversands. Architectually it is a gem. All the rooms are modern and overlook the sparkling ocean. The setting on Grand Anse beach is beautiful. The pool extremely long! The spa is wonderful. Extremely relaxing and my signature massage was wonderful. We had some trouble with the AC in our room, but the manager moved us right away. The food was fine and service a little slow but it is the island life and should be I think, but I wished for more variety at breakfast. We ate at a couple places down the beach that were good.

My stay at Silversands was a mixed experience. It has the foundation of a 5 star resort but it fell short in some key areas, and if not for the issues I encountered I would be at 5 stars as well. First the good. The grounds and beach area are beautiful, clean and modern. The room exceeded my expectations and was nearly perfect. The beach attendants and staff at the Asian restaurant were friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately we had some issues. There was an electronic security panel right outside our room and one evening it started beeping very loudly. I called the front desk and they said they were working on it. It was so loud that it ruined our night and prevented us from being able to sleep, which in turn soured the next day. In the morning I asked again and was told it would be fixed that night. It was finally fixed around midnight that day. This essentially ruined one day of our experience. I was not surprised they had to call an engineer outside the hotel staff to fix but I was very surprised the woman at the front desk didn't seem to care that it happened. I was not offered a free night or anything else to make up for the day. In fact I didn't even get an apology from management. Literally any gesture of acknowledgement or concern would have bumped this to 4 stars. I've stayed in many resorts of this level and usually management deals with issues in a much better way. I fully explained the issue and lack of sleep but I didn't want to have to argue for anything. The food and service at the Asian restaurant were great. We experienced the opposite at the other lunch restaurant. We had asked before we booked if they could accommodate a vegan diet and they were very encouraging that they could and there were items on the menu already that worked. When we actually went to eat though the vegan item was not available even though it was still on the menu. The uninterested waitress said there was nothing to replace it but she gave us a very short list of options. We ended up getting the salad and a side of fries. Both were tiny and not good. The salad tasted undressed and was mostly lettuce. This took a really long time and they charged $85 USD. We didn't even get drinks. We immediately cancelled our dinner reservation after that so I can't speak for that menu. The beach was nice but we were unable to get a spot the first day as there were no chairs left. We were told when we first got in that the beach never fills up. After that first day we went early to grab a spot. It would have been nicer if there was a bar at the beach but the awesome beach staff brought drinks to our chairs. If you don't have problems this can be a 5 star experience easily but if you run into issues be prepared for them not to care.

Things that stood out: 1. The centrepiece / its pool - just simply beautiful . 2. The well appointed rooms with full attention to details. 3. Service is impeccable especially at front desk and in beach area - restaurants slightly behind. 4. Great location on the most popular beach in town. 5. The cocktails were very made. 6. The food was a disappointment both at lunch and dinner time, but the breakfast was fabulous. 7. Super well maintained with staff constantly cleaning every crevice.

This is an exceptional hotel. Probably the best rooms in any beachside hotel anywhere in the world. It's 100 metre pool and a stunning beach adds much. The staff are superb, kind and attentive and always friendly. The downside as others have mentioned, is the mediocre food offerings. Breakfasts were good (the egg station is always on its game) but the Grenadian is overpriced and very ordinary (no real evidence it is a grill). The Asian offering was better but served in the breakfast area lacked any feeling of being Asian. Our other comment is about the lack of any bar. There is a strange room off the lobby that seems to open erratically but why no walk up beach bar, there's room for one? We snuck round to 61 West for sun-downers! The new manager will we hope get Silversands up to genuine 5 stars and we will return!!

Silversands almost gets a perfect score but the food needs a lot of improvement. Our 3 bedroom villa was amazing - one of the best hotel stays I’ve had. The resort grounds/landscaping is beautiful. The staff and hospitality is amazing. Everyone is always smiling and greeting. Very friendly. The Grand Anse beach is beautiful. The food needs a lot of work. The breakfast is ok-basic. I was hoping for better for the level and cost at staying at such an establishment. The food at Grenadian Grill is okay - mediocre and overpriced. There was a bbq on the beach one night. Again very expensive per person for very average food. The food and drinks at the beach take very long.
