We spent a week at Silver Sands, July 4 -11. We got the BOB deal. We didn't expect too much after we read the reviews. I also think it's what your standards are. We were spoiled that we recently stayed at a 5 star all-inclusive in Cancun for a week. We knew it would be different but this was a... more

Almost forgot that me and my fiance stayed here for like 1 and 1/2 days back in March (b/c our stay was up at our beach house apt and our flight didn't leave until the next day). My only real complaint is that the pool is disgusting, it needs an upgrade and desperate need for cleaning. There were plastic cups... more

Thank God I only had to stay one night here! We had spent a week at The House which was gorgeous and then because the plane home was overbooked we opted to stay an extra night. Virgin put us up in the Silver Sands! The staff were on the whole rude and unfriendly, the room, a twin, was tiny and... more

Stayed for 2 weeks, rooms are in bad condition, even after paying for an upgrade, the oven wouldnt open the toaster and remote didnt work, the window locks were about to drop off, its in need of major modernising, very very basic. i also had £60 stolen by a cleaner from my bag. The swimming area is nice and beach... more

After missing our flight in st. lucia we had to catch a connecting flight in barbados. I contacted our family to book a place for myself, husband and 2 teens as we had no internet acess available. They went through expedia and found the silver sands which according to their website looked half decent for an overnite stay. The grounds... more

I booked the resort for a 2 week self catering stay (via my travel agent) after my first choice hotel was not available so had not done any prior research. After reading some of the reviews and relevant horror stories on Trip Advisor I was so concerned about the accommodation that I tried to change to another hotel without success... more

We booked our stay very last minute through Virgin and paid less than you'd pay for the airfare for a week RO. I have to admit though i generally don't take much notice of reviews anymore as it seems that in todays age everyone has something to moan about and 9 times out of 10 its not really worth moaning... more

Went on a very fun surfing expedition 04/08. Barbados is a lovely island of not really that many people and a bunch of sea turtles. People are politely reserved which may be mistaken by non locals for arrogance. Reception is accordingly cool. No one is in a hurry for anything. Tip: order a taxi in anticipation ! PROS: 1. Beachfront... more

Leave your high expectations at the door. If you are looking for a fancy resort with great food in the middle of the tourist areas with lots of things to do, this is not it. However, if you are getting an excellent deal and simply need a place to sleep at night, you will be pleased. We stayed at the... more
