“Little slice of paradise”

If you crave an expansive uncrowded beach with plenty of shade, sun and chairs, this is the place for you. We stayed a few condos down the beach at Discovery Point Club several years ago and switched to Silver Sands for this trip and were very happy that we did. The bedrooms have more space and the grounds are more of a campus feel with 7 buildings surrounding a pretty manicured garden/lawn and sizable, deep heated pool. Yes, they have a pool that actually is 9 feet deep - hard to find these days. Discovery Point has a hot tub, but in 85 degree weather in April, that was hardly missed at Silver Sands.

The 2 BR condo wasn't furnished up to our standards for a $500/night (incl tax) accommodation, but that's Cayman. You pay for location. . . which includes the ability to slide fins on and snorkel right off the shore towards cemetary reef and see a wide variety of fish. Almost half of the condos were rentals, the other half are owned. The place was deserted, with maybe 10 units occupied. I heard the same about other condo resorts along 7 mile as well.

I would encourage getting a second floor upper unit as the sound proofing between floors isn't the best. Our unit was one of 3 buildings that border the roadside, so our teens were up early every morn once the traffic got heavy, as their bedroom was on that side of the unit, but again, that's Cayman . . . most of the condos in that northern section of 7 mile are situated along the roadside due to the narrowness of the strip.

Reservations were easy to arrange, staff was helpful in recommending boat captains, etc and their website is very informative, with pictures of all their rental units.

If you're looking for a condo where you can cross the street to get to breakfast or dinner, you might look a mile more south towards Plantana or Avalon.

We did have a non-Silver Sands issue with snorkel rental. Beware of Diver Supply in West Shore Plaza. When we picked up our gear for the week, they indicated the price for every 2 days of rental. When we returned it 6 days later, a different counter person stated that the price was only for the first 2 days and then there's a higher daily rate after that. The rental gear was low quality . . . we would have been much better off simply purchasing better quality gear, hauling it back to the states and paying the additional luggage fee! Or it would be a nice added feature of Silver Sands management to provide rental equipment for a small fee.

“Best Stretch of beach on Grand Cayman”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2010

We are on Grand Cayman 3-5 times a year for business/pleasure and this was our first experience with Silver Sands. We wanted a quieter area on 7MB and we couldn't have asked for a better location, beach or unit. The gardens and tennis courts are beautifully maintained and the wide, wide stretch of beach is manicured daily. While the units are a little older than some on 7MB they are roomy and very clean. Could not have asked for a better location for a relaxing vacation and we will be back.

“Perfect location on Seven Mile Beach!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2009

I zeroed in at staying on North Seven Mile Beach. The south side was rockier and busier than I wanted. Central SMB was too expensive and crowded. That left the North side. And since I wanted to keep all 7 of us in one condo, that left two options – Silver Sands Condos and another one. I called the other one first and they told me I could have a max of 6 people in a unit. When I asked if they could allow 7 since 3 of them were kids, they said no and tried to talk me into renting a SECOND condo (I don’t know why they wouldn’t work with me since it was the slow season). I turned them down and moved to Silver Sands. Boy, did I luck out. The Silver Sands property was absolutely beautiful. It was perfectly landscaped and as I later discovered, it had a much larger beachfront than many of the condos in the area. It was so large and so far from the crowds that we rarely saw anyone at all. It was like having the beach to ourselves. And with the large trees there, we had plenty of shade while still enjoying the beautiful view. Even better, it was just 100 yards from Cemetery Beach and the beautiful reef there. I could enter the water at Silver Sands and swim directly to the reef in very little time. The units themselves were very nice and suited our needs perfectly. Everyone had a private room and private bathroom, there was maid service, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The balcony overlooked the beautiful turquoise water and we saw everything from pirate ships to waterspouts as a storm passed. Who needed the TV? The only drawbacks were the roosters nearby. They would crow at 5 – 5:30 am and wake the kids, my wife, and I up. By the third day we figured out we could drown out their noise by turning on the AC fan. The staff, though cordial, wasn’t particularly chatty. They didn’t volunteer any information unless I specifically asked about it. Despite this, I’d go back there in a heartbeat. I was amazed because I didn’t hear much talk about this condo online and many of the locals didn’t know where it was. Maybe I should keep it a secret!

“Excellent location, relaxing vacation. April 7-15,2009”

We just returned from a week at the Silver Sands Condos, on Grand Cayman. We were pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed our stay. The Condo is not a brand new condo, but it is comfortably furnished and it was very clean when we arrived. We were there over Easter so the staff had Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday off. Despite that we were not in need of anything.
The Beach is huge almost 200yards. It was well equipped with grass hut cabanas, volleyball court, a Gazebo, and some beautiful shade trees.
Only 14 of the 42 units are rented out it ,and it seemed to be only half full. The pool was nice 25 X 50 approx. Plenty of chaise lounges around the pool and on the beach.
The flowers were in bloom on the property and it had a well manicured lawn.
We rented unit #42 (3 bedrrom 3 bath unit on the second floor) , and it had a great view of the ocean, which was only 50yards away.
The price reflected the fact that this property is not brand new, but it was an incredible value. We almost booked one of the newer units in central region of 7 mile beach, but I was glad we didn't, because we were not lacking anthing. The extra $400/night was put to use on transportation and meals.
We ate out everynight, and did not have a bad meal or bad service. The people of the Caymans are wonderful hosts. We were always greeted with smiles, and we never felt we were being patronized.
After spending some cold Easter breaks in Florida we were glad we opted for warm weather and hospitality of Grand Cayman.
