Silver Sands Beach Resort

Very basic accommodation and pricey for what it is compared to a number of places I've stayed in Thailand but it might just be Koh Tao that's £££. The bathroom stank of ammonia despite the fan being on 24/7 and it the room was very mosquito-ridden despite our best efforts keeping windows/doors closed at all times. The location is fantastic though - bang in the middle of the restaurants and buzz but still slightly tucked away for a good night's sleep.

Friendliest staff! We had a great stay. Room is spacious, everything works as it should, location is perfect and it’s not too loud even though it’s super central. Only thing that could be improved are the blinds- they were quite dirty. Will be staying again :)

This place has a good location - close to the beach (like 1-2 mins walk) and also plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. We found the staff to be helpful and friendly... Even if they are always watching videos or playing games on their phones when you first walk into the reception! They always helped us with what we wanted. Rooms have fans but if you pay a bit more they will turn the air conditioning on. We thought it was worth it for comfort and also reduced mosquitos at night. There's also a fridge - which is perfect for keeping drinks cool and storing snacks. Really liked this place.

Welcoming resort with diving school attached. Very friendly...the bar serves snacks and selection of Thai food. Resort rooms come with air conditioning fridge and overhead fan ..some of the bungalows have fan only . Whilst rooms are basic they are clean and the beds are comfy.

The room was basic but nice enough. Staff were a mixture of some friendly and some unfriendly, but the English was generally pretty bad, the worse we had in Thailand, which did make it a bit difficult. Bathroom had warm(ish) water and the air conditioning was good, but the place SERIOUSLY needed mosquito nets. We got bitten to shreds, which was largely due to so many mosquitoes being around from sitting water on the street outside. Only other negative was whatever the cleaning product they use in the bathroom was like nuclear waste. Honestly smelt like sulphur. Someone seriously needs to get some Cif or Dettol over there or something!

Can't really use the beach. Cousy bungalows but very hot. Order aircon and not fan. Reception not very good at English but, they are friendly. Reason for 4 stars is definitely the djl that is next too. Full of happy and friendly divers.

On scooter rental only: Silver sands scooter rental will make you sign a contract whereby you are responsible for the cost of replacement of any damaged or scratched part. Beware because roads are extremely steeps and dangerous. Accidents happen quite often. You,d better go a bit south of Sairee beach and look for the rental with insurrance. It is 100 bahts extra per day. I would have saved 3000 bahts in damages had i known.
