Silversands Grenada

I would split my rating as 5 stars for the building and rooms (just), and three stars for the service and food. The building is well appointed, looks good, has a great gym and spa. The pool is one of the best I have been to and there is generally a good vibe around the pool during the day. Right on the beach. Don’t take the VIP option at the airport, they didn’t show up for us and it is very easy anyway. At $150 ish each it is a total waste of money. Same for the VIP transfer, just get a cab outside. Very safe and much cheaper. The hotel rooms are good. We had a penthouse sea view and it was very nice. Only issue is the neighbouring dogs barking every night, there are lots of them and they are loud. So try and get a room in the middle of the resort. Food is not great. Very average and bland. We ate there most meals and were not blown away with any of the options. It is also expensive for what you get. The guacamole was served in a ketchup sized bowl with a ton of oily nachos, for example. We also ate at the sister property and although the service was much better the food was pretty much the same. We heard from another guest the company has a restaurant in St George’s, which was meant to be pretty good - it was a shame no one told us this as we had no time to go. Turning to service. This is a tricky one as I think there is an element of Caribbean time here but there is very little pro activity or stepping forward. I asked for guacamole and was told they only had bread. Make sense of that one. Then the next day I found out they did have it on another menu that was available had I only asked. The service around the pool was slow and often food would come out at different times. Finally turning to value. The hotel itself is good value, but the food and extras is not. The best example is the $200 each they charge for access to the VIP lounge at the airport, which is available for $30 when you get there. The food and wine is expensive, especially for the quality. We had a nice time but we will not be returning. Having visited the smaller sister hotel there is clearly a team vibe there. The staff were happier, more proactive and warmer, so I can only conclude there is a poor team culture and this is evident in the service and general ambience. All of these points were common themes amongst the guests. We talked to several others and the above reflects the shared experiences.

Just got back from 5 days with my sister and daughters celebrating my 60 th birthday.While the property is gorgeous this is much more like a 4 star hotel …if not for Soha the food/beverage manager who really tries I’m not sure we would have had the time we did . The breakfast is very sub par given the money paid/the hotel actually ran out of milk on our last morning .Be prepared to wait upwards of 25 minutes for a coffee to be served at breakfast .The buffet is decidedly average again given the rates charged -too bad because the place is stunning . Whilst they were kind enough to give us a late check out at the villa we were staying in it had NO water coming out of the taps to take our last shower -again for thousands of dollars a night not cool. When I mentioned it upon check out all I got was a tepid apology…again so not what would I expect from a hotel that’s 5 star rated and charging what they do both for food and accommodation..

Gorgeous Caribbean resort (our favorite find yet!), with friendly hospitality, warm weather and very few crowds (after school breaks in early January). Very tastefully designed and decorated. Staff is fantastic! Good food (albeit not elite) and beverages. More about enjoying a beautiful place than launching amazing day trips to see truly unique sites. Great alternative to Turks & Caicos - already looking forward to coming back!

My husband and I (50s) just spent an amazing, relaxing 10 days at Silversands. The open air lobby is beautiful and opens to the pool. The pool is even more stunning in person and there are so many places to sit and relax poolside, either in the sun or out. The beachside area is lovely with many places to choose to sit. The staff at the beach is top notch and attentive. They bring around various small bites throughout the day and you can, of course, order food and drinks to eat on the beach from the nearby Grenadian Grill. The beach itself is small (directly in front) but has beautiful views down the very long beach towards the more developed parts of Grand Anse Beach. There are various restaurants within walking distance. The water was clear and calm which made for beautiful swimming. The breakfast in the Asiatique restaurant is varied and delicious and the look of the space is very sophisticated. The Grenadian Grill on the beach is both great for lunch and dinner. Get the catch of the day. We were in room 105 which is a garden view king on the ground floor in the first building. It was spacious with built in cabinets to unpack into. The bathroom was gorgeous with a tub set under a window which opened onto beautiful vegetation. The staff without exception were excellent, friendly and accommodating. We loved every minute of our time there.

Being a proud Grenadian who tries to visit the island every year, my brother and I decided to break up our holiday into two parts. We stayed in the north of the island for a few days, which made it easier to visit family, and then we decided to treat ourselves by staying in the new Silver Sands hotel. I am not sure if words can describe our experience. This is more than a 5-star hotel. The ground floor room I had with the garden view and the top floor room my brother had with the stunning view were truly amazing. Not to mention the rain shower, bathtub, app for lighting and curtains, and mosquito net. The staff and team were truly amazing. They could not do enough for us, making our experience even more special. From Merisa, who ensured our breakfast was more than satisfactory, to Sabrina, who made me a mocha coffee, and the team in the spa, which provided the best deep tissue massage I have ever had. Special mention to the person who did the rum tasting with us, whose name I unfortunately cannot remember due to the memorable experience (lol), and not forgetting the captain himself, Sharif. As we were preparing to leave the island just before Hurricane Beryl was approaching, Sharif was very supportive and kept us updated with the airlines. He assured us that if the flight was canceled, he had a room ready for us, which I thought was very nice.

Hotel is extremely nice. Rooms were large and the top floor suite in Building 1 had a great living room.the beach is great. Service is as friendly as i've seen but still learning. Food is good. Need to replenish more at bkfast as we worked out before we ate so were on the late side. Lunch and dinner at the two restaurants was good. Need a little more variety. Service again was attentive and they are still learning. Island itself is interesting. Took tours. Didnt find any great restaurants.
