Silver Sands Beach Resort

The gentleman at reception wasn’t very welcoming from the start. My husband had been quoted a rate but it wasn’t honored when we got there, paid 100 more than we were expecting. But what ruined it for us was that we had two rooms and when we did a walk thru to the second room, where our daughter and her friends were going to stay at, we saw broken glass in the floor. We reported it to the front desk man and he said he had no one to clean it up but when security arrived he would send them. No security ever showed up, what they did was leave a raggedy broom by the door! If we hadn’t noticed this, and not told my kid not to get barefoot, I assure you they would have gotten hurt! Incredible

Location.

Great choice if you looking for a basic no-frills property with great location that is steps to the beach. Our double pool view room had a table and chairs with umbrella right outside our door. We did not use the pool. Our room could use an update to the front door (warped sticky with wobbly door knob) and dated teal bathroom counter (too bad it wasn't replaced when the kitchen was done).

They sold the parking lot to a corporate film shoot and insisted i park in an inconvinient location to accomdate there lack of coordinating

Very old hotel that could use a little upkeep, BUT it was very clean. The rooms were spacious and both double beds very comfortable. The pool was huge and well kept. I dont think you'll find a better deal right on the water in Key Biscayne. Also, a great location with many businesses within walking distance via beach or sidewalk

A diamond in the rough, for sure. Spent four nights in a spacious room right by the beach. Unbelievable location, right on the beach! The rooms are run down, everything is off-kilter, the A/C is noisy, but the water pressure in shower is great, the room was impeccably clean, the staff very kind. I would happily stay again!

I only stayed 2 nights to avoid traffic for a festival. The hotel staff in the lobby was kind. First day of my stay, my room was cleaned while I was out. Would of liked to have prior knowledge of this before they came in. Was not given a sign to hang outside to not have my room turned over. Felt uncomfortable since I had valuables in the room and the room had no safe. The hotel is a bit older, gives off Miami motel vibes. Ample parking. My room came with 2 full beds and a small kitchenette. The bed I slept in was hard as a rock, pillows didn’t have much fluff to them. My bathroom, had a full shower, great water pressure however one of my water nobs fell during my stay, which is made it nearly impossible to turn on the hot water. Wall unit a/c worked great in my room, and it was on a running when I arrived. Didn’t have much time to check out other amenities, however did pass through to the beach, saw that there was a decent sized pool, with chairs, and an easy to get to walk way to the beach.

Close to the beach

Retro and we enjoyed that. Nice beach access and pool area. Funky and worn down motel. Their restaurant blew away with hurricane Andrew. Clean, but harsh chemical cleaners used so we had to air it out. Other reviews were accurate so we knew the pros and cons. No regrets.
