I love the beaches at Crandon park on Key Biscayne so I looked for a hotel on the beach. Silver sands was perfect and affordable. (ritz was very expensive and next door) Motel style , very "70's or 60's" very basic and clean. Lush grounds and a great pool. Unfortunately the beach closed on our 3rd day for repairs but... More

This is the worst hotel I've been too! The beds had little bug body parts and the floors were nasty! The woman could have at least learned a little English. The salt had bugs in it and the lamps never worked. The location was pretty but the cons overpowered it. Don't go!!!!!!

We spent 5 days at the Sony Ericsson Tennis open and stayed at the Silver Sands Motel. I know, "motel" sounds tacky, but we had a wonderful time. Our room had a private patio just outside our door, with table, umbrella and 4 chairs. The room was neat, the beds comfortable, the A/C was new, and the bathroom spotless. The... More

I booked a three night garden view room at the Silver Sands during the Sony Ericsson Tennis Event. Check in was supposed to be at 1:00 and I requested the room not be cleaned with any chemicals because I have a lung disease. Arrived 3:30: room not ready, faced seaweed instead of garden, and room smelled from pine cleaner. Called... More

we have been staying here for years. quiet and relaxing. no, it isn't the Ritz, but the prices can 't be beat. yes, there isn't much beach here, but just up the way a bit is beautiful Crandon Beach, which is huge and mostly deserted in the winter time. the rooms on the courtyard side are the best. we like...

This is not a resort. It's not even a fancy motel. The rooms are spartan but functional. My bed was firm and comfortable. The bathroom had seen better days but there was plenty of hot water. The fridge in the kitchen as well as the cabinets should be replaced. Sometimes the noise from other rooms (esp. through the connecting door)... More

We read reviews on tripadvisor and went for the room on the courtyard so happy we did. My 4 year old son loved being able to have a picnic everyday. I loved the peaceful atmosphere, hard to believe you are only 30 minutes from Miami Beach. The beach is narrow, but as a parent its easier to keep your eye... More

I'm just leaving after 10 nights and want to record my views. The island of Key Biscayne is very quiet and beautiful and pretty exclusive--no spring break activities here that I could detect, and lots of ridiculously fancy homes along the bay. Easy access from downtown Miami over tolled causeway ($1.50). And for hotels, the choice seems to be between... More

This is a very personal review: we are traveling with young kids and were looking for a place that would offer a direct beach access, a (heated) pool, a little kitchen and calm/quiet surroundings with easy access to all Miami activities. Silver Sands offered all of this and more, so we were very happy to have made this choice and... More
