take a look at the meets thread at the top of the page- you won't be stuck for company! I'm sure you will be made more than welcome.
Have been to Silver Sands twice. Lovely place to stay really near the beach. Also near the restaurants annd bars. Staff really friendly. Definately a basic hotel - do not go if you are at all fusy. I would defiantely go there again.
If you do a search on the Goa Forum you will be able to read previous posts; I think there are quite a few on Silver Sands. It is a great location; virtually on the beach at Candolim. You will have a great time!
hello all!
I am staying at the silver sands in april and was wondering what those of you who have stayed there make of it?
I have read all the reports but really want some advice on which part of the hotel is the best place to stay? Is it the cottages or main part of the hotel itself?

hi! my aprents returned a few weeks ago!
they say that the best part is the hotel building not the cottages as everybody wealks past the cottages and dont get as much privacy! apparently the best rooms are either F10 or F11 if you can request them! They look out to the pool and beach area.
Im thinking of booking here for december. Who did you book with?

Hi lauraj , I am staying there too, did your parents enjoy it?
You can book silver sand through - jewel in the crown, First choice and odyssey worldwide.
I booked through first choice as I got a good deal , thanks for the info about the rooms as I was wondering whether to change room to cottage , but sounds like I'm best leaving it as it is.

I have been looking at first choice, and for a week in december it is coming in at around £520! so think i will book.
I would keep the nromal hotel room if i were you!

They used the pool. They say it was small but just right! not overcrowed!

I think you may find Jewel in the Crown or Travelpack cheaper than First Choice. Not sure though if Travelpack use Silver Sands. It is a popular hotel; we know several couples who return every year. The staff are friendly and the location is unbeatable; two minutes to the beach! Our friends stayed in one of the bungalows ( i think they have been recently updated) and had no complaints.
Stopped at Silver Sands for last 4 years. Stayed in 1st floor top, ground floor back, ground floor front and this year a bungalow. Bungalow is by far the best appointed room but you do get every one going past. The main block however echos and you can hear every door open and close.
Tried to book for next year and all the flights for a three week holiday are booked up. Had to book flight only and look for alternate accomodation as I hear Silver Sands are only booking rooms through the three tour operators mentioned. Tried all three last year and first choice had the best deal.
Enjoy your stay. By the way, they now have some new rooms which are supposed to be very nice with TV's etc. These are located just above the Angarra restaurant on the beach road. Look nice but may be a little noisy.

Hi Everyone
I know we have a hotel review page on here, but there are quite a few conflicting views on the silver sands. Has anyone been there in last few months? I have been quoted a price of £577 pp for next March with First Choice airline trying to avoid Monarch by booking early i know where silver sands is and have had a brief look round it last year. I know its not the best but any additional help would be greatly appreciatiated.

hi Paul
Silvver Sands is probably the best location in Candolim and travelling with First Choice is better than Jewel in the Crown.
we stayed there from 19th March-2 April The bungalows are ok basic but do-able -if you get the hotel rooms particularly on the ground floor -you just as well book into a prison-DISGUSTING!!-I think first choice now offer an option to book a bungalow-at a price-but if you do like us and complain to reception after check in the bungalow will probably be available any way- for free-see my full report on this page-and in the hotel reviews!

Paul,
we booked the silver sands for the same time as you, then cancelled after reading several poor reports from this season. Re booked with first choice ex manchester to the phoenix park at a cost of £1280 including £40 for admin costs. So total difference was about £80 extra.
Admit we had a look around the SS and thought it was OK but only saw the bungalows and found out at home that to upgrade to one of these made it dearer than PPark etc.
hope this helps

Thanks for the advice both of you! Del, who did you book with for that price for PP? That would be our 1st choice but prices were coming up really high.
The bungalows are 7.00 per person per night extra - I should know - I have just changed to one after reading the report by DJFrostie.
If you do a search on this site there is quite a lot of info on the Silversands by suesteph who is a regular there.
