Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We visited Silvermine Beach Resort for two nights during Chinese New Year. Due to covid restrictions, everything was closed, so from all the hotel facilities we could only enjoy the room and the restaurant. The room was small but very nice. Heating, TV and the shower worked really well. The seaview from the window was absolutely fantastic!
The hotel itself is stuck in the soviet era, it smels of cheap bleach, the carpets are 100 year old and dirty. The worst thing is the restaurant where we had breakfast and dinner. For breakfast there were two options - western and asian, all food was canned food that was microwaved. If you wanted more food, the only option was bread with jam and butter. For dinner we had a set including salad, soup, main dish and a drink, together with the delivery to the room it cost app. 500hkd for two people. It was not tasty at all.
Overall, the hotel is not bad, we might come back again. But don't waste your time and money on the restaurant, there is a nice cafe right across the corner with excellent breakfasts.

As work was going on in my apartment block, I booked into my local beach resort, Silvermine through Agoda for a good price, for 2 adults (as my niece was perhaps going to be staying too) for 2 nights (Saturday and Sunday inclusive) in a room en suite with a sea view, including breakfast.
I was in a separate block apart from the main resort building, which was great. The room was spacious with 2 beds (bigger than single but didn't look as big as a double) and a sliding door window (which didn't open) looking onto the ocean, which was beautiful. Except for the 3 main lights (bathroom, passage outside bathroom, 1 wall light opposite beds), none of the others (2 bedside lamps, 1 standing lamp, 1 desk lamp) worked. Luckily it was enough light for me to use my laptop at night, but inconvenient and did not give a great impression of care. The carpets had marks on them and the decor is old and outdated. The saving grace is the beautiful sea view onto Silvermine beach.
There were tv channels that showed only English or Chinese options, and others that showed that it could be in either English or Chines. When I tried using a channel advertised in English or Chinese and couldn't do it and called reception to find out how to change it to English, I was told that it couldn't be done. No point in printing it could be in either English or Chinese, when in fact that wasn't the case.
The vegetarian breakfast was not terribly good - very standard quality. Others who had breakfast at the sea facing restaurant with me did not enjoy the quality of the pork sausage and ham (very processed and low quality) or the bread, but the lady who served us (Gloria) is lovely, charming and friendly.
The grounds are quite nice and had facilities been open it may have been better, but due to covid 19 regulations, wasn't. The reception staff were friendly enough and I was given permission to leave my bicycle inside the perimeter of the resort locked up, which was kind (as there is signage very clearly stating that this is not allowed).
My niece ended up not staying with me after all, and I was told by reception that generally, they do not allow only 1 person to stay in a room, and it has to be 2 people or more. I find this so odd, as I am a single woman and have often booked into hotels on my own. Penalized for being single? Ridiculous!!!
Would I stay there again? Of course I would have to find someone to stay with, as I don't see them changing policy just to accommodate singles :) So the answer is: No, I won't stay there again.

This facing beach iconic hotel sits at Mui Wo for decades, trust brings back many childhood memories as a popular picnic site.
We always chose to stay at hotels in the rural areas and this was one of our list, not to mention, they offered good package with breakfast, afternoon tea and recreation coupon. Simple deco standard room as expected since clear official website which fitted what we wanted to spend more time with the beautiful nature nearby. And also, some relaxing moments within the hotel areas.
The memorable highlights of the trip was from Mr. Chung, the recreation manager, who offered the most professional pro&pre services where we are able to enjoy all activities which matched our agenda. He followed up with emails before our visit. And upon arrival, before we started each activities, he offered us short yet detailed briefing and safety instructions. We also got close encounter hospitality greetings from him even Mr. Chung was overwhelmed with groups of guests.
The restaurant staff also gave us pleasant surprises with their welcome and all rounded services to demanding family groups. Except the manager/owner whom turned us and another group for his no-care manners.
In conclusion, I see many good reasons to come back with any age group at this still very busy resort where we sure love to spend more time at the well maintained back garden within this hotel. Because we saw the effort they had put to every corner even it is a easy affordable resort.

We stayed for 14 nights and we were not disappointed. Fronts the beach. BBQ evenings . Excellent location, rooms are big enough for a 2 week stay . Bedding , towels changed daily and nothing was too much trouble. We even had our grandchildren overnight so they put an extra bed in for us . Lovely friendly staff especially on reception. Special thanks to Winnie . We will be back xx

This is a tired hotel staffed with minimum manpower even when they are fully booked over Easter. 1. Check in took one hour, you must stand in line in the sun to wait your turn. There are no exceptions even if you have a baby (wasn’t us). 2. Air conditioning in room was weak, it was 30 degrees out! 3. Restaurant staff are grumpy, rude and will fight back if you complain. You place your own placemat and utensils then you wait to be served. Everyone gets the same food, no exceptions. 4. Restaurant staff bring out your plated breakfast but they’ll serve people who are near the windows first closer to the kitchen. If you complain because people arrived after you already got served and you are still waiting the restaurant staff (Donna) will tell you it’s impossible you have been waiting. If you complain more restaurant staff (Gloria) will start filming you and tell you she is not only filming you with her phone the CCTV is on. 5. The breakfast toast is extremely chewy, the ham is very pink and looks strange, no seconds allowed. 6. The toilet was blocked twice. 7. Swimming pool was nice but not enough towels. 8. The bathroom was moldy, the glass door to the shower was wobbly, I thought it would fall down. 9. The staff gave me the feeling they hated working there. 10. Bring your own toilet paper, if you run out at night after housekeeping are gone they won’t give you another roll. 11. Floor in room broken, be careful. 12. Shower stall looked like it wasn’t cleaned properly- hair. 13. Downstairs bathroom super stinky with toilet paper all over the floor. Super gross!!! 14. Beautiful sea view, faces the beach, within walking distance to Mui Wo Pier

According to our record, In fact, check in time is 15:00 but your check in time was 15:07, while our stated check-in time is 15:00, there was a 7 minutes delay. Sorry that were unable to meet with your expectations. 2. There is a temperature controller in each of our guest room, guests can adjust the temperature according to their own need.

We had investigated the filming incident. Kitchen is an restricted area for outsider, anyone not belongs to Restaurant Department is not allowed to enter. There are knives, sharp tools, hots stuffs, It is dangerous for a stranger to go into, especially when everyone inside is working busily. Our staff tried to stop you from entering but in vain, so she took a video to record the case for reporting purpose. The video had been deleted from her mobile after our investigation. 5. The breakfast is served on a set basis, so individually refill is not provided. 6. As per our record, the toiled was blocked because of too many toiled paper inside. We apologies for the inconvenience caused. 7. We have towels provided in swimming pool, each guest should have at least one towel. In this pandemic period, we have restricted the number of guests to enter into swimming pool, therefore, towel should not be a problem. 8. Before we release a room to our guest, all fixtures or appliances have been checked and assured safe under normal usage. 9. Our staff might be too busy to give a smell on their face, especially during the long holiday session. We are sorry to have giving you this impression. 10. Toilet paper is provided in each guest room and will be refilled upon cleaning or on requested. 11. Should you find anything broken or not working properly, our Engineering Department will be available to fix it immediately. We always aim to provide a comfortable experience for our guests.

Room rate too pricey. The pet room cost us $1.4k but it only included pet bowls and a toy which we couldn’t even bring home
We requested for late check out so they extended it to 12:30pm for us. At 12:10pm, the front desk called us and said “it’s 12:25 now”... The hotel was empty and not busy at all but we felt very rushed to check out
Breakfast was super limited, there was no menu and they only serve 1 dish - which was so dry and bland
Anyway the restaurant staff were kind at least! And the swimming pool was pretty :)
Overall silvermine could do so much better but we don’t recommend it for people who want to stay at “pet friendly” hotels

This hotel has 1970s charm and clearly nothing has been done to invest in the hotel's interior or facilities since then. Walls, carpets and everything is are worn out and dirty. Towels in our rooms had holes. Bed sheets were stained and stank of smoke.
We booked two hotel rooms for our family of four as we were advised that we couldn't stay in a single room. This turned out to be a lie as there were signs all over the place that the maximum occupancy were four people.
To add insult to injury, one of our rooms was practically unusable as it stank of cigarette smoke despite supposedly being a non-smoking room.
The hotel is clearly favoured by the local population who have overrun the hotel and are shouting at each other all day long.
The swimming pool supposedly opens at 9am but there was a long queue of around 20 people waiting for 45 minutes for someone to arrive to actually unlock the gate. Repeat complaints to management/reception were ignored.
The staff hardly speak any English, so unless you're a local and enjoy 70s charm, this place is best to be avoided.

I booked this hotel before our arrival because it was close to the beach and looked like it had lots of stuff for us to enjoy with our kids, we wanted to make the most of our 24 hour delay in Hongkong. We arrived late, which I clearly indicated when booking that we would be due to a late night flight. On their website it also states that they are open 24 hours. The taxi driver dropped us off in the middle of the street with all our bags and drove off. We walked down the block to the resort to find that once we got into the building there was absolutely no one around. We rang the buzzer, knocked on doors and called around to see if anyone was working. The place was completely vacant so we waited and waited. Around 2am my husband walked up and down the streets of Hongkong to see if there was someone who could get us a room for the night. With no such luck and no use of our phones to call anyone we tucked our two young kids into the chairs in the lobby and covered them up with the clothes we had in our bags as blankets so they could get some sleep. We sat in the lobby freezing for 6 and half hours with no use of a bathroom or access to any drinking water. When the cooks arrived at 630am to cook breakfast we asked them if they could some how help us check in. They told us they would call someone from reception to come in and check us in. We waited another hour and they told us “sorry they are not answering the phone, we can’t help you.” So we packed up our kids and walked down the street and waved down a taxi to take us back to the airport were we paid an insane amount to check into another hotel so we could get a few hours sleep before our 12 hour flight back to Canada. I tried reaching out to them to get our money bank and no one has returned my calls. Worst travelling experience I have ever had, don’t book here unless you want to sleep in their freezing hell hole of a lobby with the same jazz song on repeat.

We stayed 2 nights. Upon arrival from the airport you take a Blue Lantau Taxi and you are dropped off a few minutes walk away from the hotel as cars are not allowed to drive on the walkway to the resort. It's easy to follow the path to the hotel but best to have wheels on your luggage. At the reception we were greeted by Kitty who was very nice and informative about how to walk to the ferry pier. Kitty also helped me print out my electronic visa for Cambodia. She works the evening time so I highly recommend seeking her help if you need something. The breakfast buffet had a lot of choices including western and asian food, fruit, cereal, toast, congee, oatmeal, eggs, sausage, etc. I did not find the food very tasty. We stayed in a deluxe ocean view room and the view was nice. The bed was very comfy and the shower was good. No elevator so prepare to carry your bags up the stairs. There was a man who helped us carry up our heavy bag as we had trouble lifting it up the stairs. The walk to the ferry is about 5 to 10 minutes depending on your speed. The hotel is older and shows wear and tear in the hallway carpet and other places. Our room had been updated so it was in better condition. We stayed over New Year and the hotel was busy with guests. We paid over 125 USD with taxes per night. If you want to be in a quiet peaceful location on Lantau, consider this hotel. Taxi from airport is approx 170 HK dollar for 2 people one way including two big bags.

During a three-day and two-night trip, I found that the hotel TV had no sound on the first night. I tried changing the remote control in the neighboring room but it still didn't solve the problem. I asked the staff, but several staff couldn't solve it after checking. They had to wait until the next day to solve the problem. There was no one at the hotel to help, so there was no TV to watch all night. It was also discovered that there were blood stains on the sheets, but no one took care of them that night. The next day, someone changed the sheets after repeated reminders. When I went back to the room that night, I found that there were still hairs on the bed after they were changed. The toilet was clogged that same night, and the caller had to wait half an hour before someone came to follow up. It was so disturbed that I couldn't go to the toilet. After the audio was processed on the second day, the TV could not be transferred to the station. For the next three days, I could not watch the TV. It was a nightmare trip for three days and two nights. No one followed up or handled the whole process, and I will never stay again.

There is a bus going from the airport, bus S56, to Tung Chung bus terminus (approx. 30min.) and from there you can take bus 3M to Mui Wo ferry pier (approx. 45min.). From there it will still be a 10 minute walk to the Silvermine Beach resort. Make sure buses are still going at that hour.
Otherwise you could consider taking a private minibus direct from the airport to Mui Wo.
Enjoy your trip!

Hi, this hotel is about 40 mins drive from airport at a cost of approx ÂŁ15. You would have to leave again at 5 am probably to get checked in etc- maybe something nearer airport better. If you were arriving earlier I would say yes, perfect , but you probably would only be there 6 hrs. Sorry don't know about airport hotels .

Disney is on the other side of the island. Taxi will probably take 45 mins by taxi and The roads are really windy and lots of up and down so if your main goal is go to Disney you may consider staying in the Disney resort or somewhere near Tung Chung side.

We stayed in a room overlooking the beach, so the South Wing. It was a bit basic but OK.
I think your bigger question is about location. Mui Wo is quite isolated from Tung Chung which has the retail outlet and cable car station. Buses and taxis will take a good 20-30 mins to cross to Tung Chung on the airport side of the island. Buses also run up to the Buddha from Mui Wo but these are not frequent. That said, Mui Wo is a nice place with a good beach. It is worth considering staying in an airport hotel or at Discovery Bay if you want to travel around. These have faster links to HK island and MTR stations as well as the main hub of the island. Mui Wo, though, has old world charm.
We split our stay between Discovery Bay and Silvermine/Mui Wo. This worked really well.
There are more places to choose from in the Hong Kong area.
