I want to highlight the excellent services provided, especially by Noah, who was fantastic. However, I did have a less-than-ideal experience with the staff member managing the umbrellas. She seemed a bit aggressive regarding the tiki area and asked us about our room checkout in a manner that felt rude, almost as if she thought we were taking advantage of our stay. It would be helpful if the communication could be more friendly and understanding in the future.

The room was cool because it had a murphy bed, so it was spacious when the bed was up. It was more of a suite with full size fridge, sink, dishes, and utensils. Private beach access was close, and chairs and umbrella were set up by the staff.

Pros: - Lovely pool & bar area - Big rooms and kitchenette in the suites - Access to the resort's other properties (particularly Three Waters which is the best place to hang out) - Free Rum Runner water taxi was brilliant and we also did a boat trip on it. The crew (Jen and Kristin were fab). Cons - Noisy / broken air con in the room which made it hard to sleep. - No crockery or cutlery in the kitchenette so completely unusable.

Love Silver Surf~AMI~ Just about everything you need for a fun stay. Very clean, modern, perfectly located, beach across the street with cabanas, chairs & umbrellas, option of beach massage, catamaran & jet ski rentals, outdoor pool is big and lots of loungers & tables plus a bathroom, grills, bicycles to rent, walk to restaurants, bay behind the hotel, room had good working A/C, king bed was comfortable, kitchenette has everything needed, large shower, lots of drawers & closet space. Plenty of parking spots for your car or golf cart. Staff were friendly & accommodating. Continental breakfast was average. Reasonably priced for April school vacation week- thank you! A few recommendations: 1. A shelving unit with a bench in the bathroom under the hooks for storage & a place to put your clothes would be helpful. 2. Murphy bed was very uncomfortable. Could use a replacement or mattress topper. 3. Half wall in shower allowed for the floor to get soaked. Maybe add a curtain to prevent this. Will stay here again and highly recommended this wonderful hotel.

Wonderful family stay

We stayed for 6n in two rooms that were interconnecting. 2A 2C On arrival the resort is bright and clean, with plenty of parking. The rooms are of a good size and have plenty of storage. They are modern and clean. I’m plenty of towels and pool towels provided. The free breakfast is basic but a bonus. The beach is over a small rd where the traffic stops for you to cross. Wow it’s beautiful. The added bonus of sunloungers and parasols for guests is a huge plus point. A watersports company are there for jet ski hire and paddle boards etc they give a discount for silver surf guests. Watching the sunsets is a nightly ritual and each night it was different. There is a trolley bus stop outside the reception area which is perfect just scan the QR code to find out the next bus times. We toured the island on the trolley to familiarise ourselves. If you thought the sea was like a bath the resort pool was just as warm. Plenty of loungers and tables always clean. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. There are two communal grills and bikes to hire. You are walking distance to the Bridge st area and several bars and restaurants. Publix can be accessed by the trolley or car but not walking distance. There is a circle K within walking distance for any necessities. We hired a golf cart for a fun way to get around. We felt the price point was very reasonable. The island still has some construction and demolition but nothing that would impact your stay.
