Escape to Paradise: Mauritius' ALL-INCLUSIVE Silver Beach Resort Awaits!
Mauritius Bliss: Silver Beach Resort - My Unfiltered Take! (Prepare for Paradise… and a Few Minor Hiccups!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups! Because I just got back from Mauritius, and the Escape to Paradise: Silver Beach Resort promised me? Well, it almost delivered. Let’s dive in, shall we? Forget those polished, perfect hotel reviews – this is the REAL DEAL.
First Impressions & Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (But Mostly Good!)
Landing in Mauritius, the air hit me like a warm hug. The drive to Silver Beach? Gorgeous. Lush, green, and promising everything I’d hoped for. The resort itself? Pretty stunning upon arrival, all bright white buildings against that turquoise water.
Accessibility: Now, here’s where things get a little… interesting. While they say they have "Facilities for disabled guests," I'm not sure how extensive they are. The reception area was easily accessible, and the main pathways seemed pretty flat. (Important note: I'm not in a wheelchair, so I can't give a definitive opinion on full wheelchair accessibility. Call and ask them directly if you have specific needs!) The elevators were there (thank goodness!), which meant easy access to rooms on higher floors.
The Rooms: Oh, The Rooms! (And That Damn Mini-Bar!)
My room? Pretty darn lovely! The air conditioning was a lifesaver (thank you, Air conditioning!), and I loved the Blackout curtains. Seriously, those things are a game-changer for sleep. The Free Wi-Fi in the rooms was a godsend (more on that later!). The Internet access – wireless was spotty, but the Internet access – LAN worked well. The Slippers and Bathrobes? A nice touch.
But… that Mini bar! Okay, I know it's included in the all-inclusive, but it was tempting! I swear I spent half my time eyeing it and the other half trying to resist the urge to polish it off. And the extra long bed was awesome, but… I'm a hot sleeper, and the sheets were a bit… thick. Minor gripe, I know.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: Food, Glorious Food! (Mostly…)
Alright, let's talk food! This is where the ALL-INCLUSIVE really shines.
- Restaurants: Restaurants, restaurants, restaurants! They had a few. There's a main buffet restaurant, and there were a couple of a la carte places, which were pretty good. I really enjoyed the Asian cuisine one.
- Drinks: The Poolside bar was my best friend. Happy hour every day? Yes, please!
- Breakfast: The Breakfast [buffet] was a glorious spread. Western breakfast (bacon, eggs, the works), Asian breakfast (noodles, dim sum – yum!), and everything in between. The Coffee/tea in restaurant was plentiful, which is crucial for me in the morning.
- Snacks: The Snack bar by the pool was perfect for those mid-afternoon cravings.
The Downsides
- The main buffet was a bit chaotic at times. It's a buffet, so you know what you are getting into but I did find myself getting a bit irritated with the crowds.
- Some of the a la carte restaurants required reservations, which was a bit of a pain.
- The food, while generally good, wasn't always amazing. It's not Michelin-star dining, but it's definitely satisfying.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day Bliss! (And a Tiny Bit of Gym Guilt)
Okay, this is where Silver Beach really shines. They have a gorgeous Swimming pool [outdoor] overlooking the ocean. Absolute bliss. I spent hours just floating around, staring at the view.
The Spa: Oh. My. Goodness. The Spa/sauna was heavenly. I treated myself to a Body scrub and Massage. The Pool with view was a great bonus. The Sauna was a great way to get rid of all the toxins. Seriously, I came out feeling like a new person. The Steamroom was pretty good too.
The Gym: I tried to go to the Fitness center. Emphasis on tried. Let's just say the pull of the pool and the bar was stronger. Still, the Gym/fitness facilities were there, and they looked pretty decent.
Cleanliness and Safety: Comforting, But Not Perfect
- COVID-19 Precautions: They took things seriously. Hand sanitizer everywhere. Staff trained in safety protocol. Daily disinfection in common areas. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. This made me feel safe.
- Room Sanitization: They offered Room sanitization opt-out available, which I liked.
- The Imperfection: The Anti-viral cleaning products were strong. I'm very sensitive to smells, and the room sometimes smelled a little too clean.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter (Mostly)
- Daily housekeeping was fantastic.
- Free Wi-Fi was a lifesaver.
- Luggage storage was helpful.
- They had a Concierge who was very helpful with recommendations.
- Cash withdrawal was super convenient.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly (But I Don't Have Kids!)
They had Kids facilities and a Babysitting service, which seemed great. I didn't have any kids with me, so I can't personally vouch for it, but it looked well-equipped.
Getting Around: Easy Peasy
- Car park [free of charge] – big plus!
- Airport transfer was smooth and easy.
- Taxi service available.

Southampton's Bentley Hotel: Luxury Redefined (NY)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into a week of glorious, sun-drenched, rum-soaked chaos at the Silver Beach Resort in Mauritius. Prepare yourselves, because this isn't your perfectly curated Instagram feed. This is the real deal.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Buffet Frenzy (aka, Carb Loading for Paradise)
- 7:00 AM (ish) - Departure from… wherever the heck you're starting. My flight was delayed. Of course. Because the universe apparently enjoys testing my already fragile patience. Finally, on board, and I swear, the guy next to me was snoring before we even hit the runway.
- 1:00 PM - Arrival at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU). The humidity hits you like a warm, wet hug. A slightly suffocating hug, but still… a hug. Customs? A blur of stamps and bewildered smiles.
- 2:00 PM - Shuttle to Silver Beach Resort: Okay, the resort looks amazing online, but in reality? The turquoise water is even more turquoise, the sand even whiter. I may have squealed a little. Don't judge.
- 3:00 PM - Check-in, Room Reconnaissance, and the Holy Grail: The Buffet. First impressions? Room is… adequate. The view, however, is a postcard come to life. Okay, let's be honest, I sprinted to the buffet. It's a jungle out there, people! First plate? A glorious mountain of carbs. Pasta, bread, rice… I'm not ashamed. I'm carb-loading for a week of intense relaxation (and maybe some snorkeling).
- 5:00 PM - Beach Stroll and Sunset Stare: The sand is like powdered sugar between your toes. I found a comfy spot to watch the sunset, and my jaw dropped. Seriously, it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I may have shed a single, happy tear. Don't tell anyone.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner, and the Discovery of the All-Inclusive Hangover: I went back to the buffet, obviously. And then I discovered the bar. And the cocktails. And the free-flowing rum. Let's just say, I may have overdone it a little. My memory of the evening is a bit hazy, but I remember laughing a lot, making questionable dance moves, and probably embarrassing myself in front of the entire resort.
Day 2: The Snorkeling Debacle and the Sunburn Symphony
- 9:00 AM (ish) - Wake Up, Regret, and the Quest for Hydration: The hangover is real, folks. Real. Water. Coffee. More water.
- 10:00 AM - Snorkeling Adventure! I'm usually a land-locked creature, but the water was calling my name, so I decided to brave the waves. The snorkeling gear was, let's just say, not exactly top-of-the-line. I swallowed half the ocean, almost got swept away by a rogue wave, and saw precisely zero Nemo-esque fish. But hey, I tried!
- 11:30 AM - Sunburn Revelation: I forgot to reapply sunscreen. My skin is now approximately the color of a cooked lobster. Ouch.
- 12:00 PM - Lunch (and the desperate search for aloe vera): The buffet, again. This time, I focused on hydrating foods.
- 1:00 PM - Poolside Sloth Mode: Found a shady spot by the pool and vowed to do absolutely nothing. Successfully executed. Until…
- 3:00 PM - The Great Poolside Nap Fail: I drifted off to sleep, only to be rudely awakened by a splash of water and a gaggle of screaming children. Apparently, my peaceful slumber was directly in the path of a cannonball competition.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner and the Endless Buffet (Again!): The lobster-red skin is still screaming, but hunger must be appeased. I may have overindulged in the dessert bar, but hey, I deserve it, right?
Day 3: The Rum Run and the Quest for the Perfect Beach Photo
- 9:00 AM - Breakfast and the Planning of a Day of Beach Domination: I'm getting the hang of this whole "all-inclusive" thing. It's a dangerous game, but someone has to play it.
- 10:00 AM - Beach Exploration and the Search for the Perfect Photo Op: I roamed the beach, determined to find that Instagram-worthy shot. Found a cute little cove, but the lighting was all wrong. Tried a different angle, but I kept getting photobombed by a family of overly friendly seagulls. Finally gave up and just enjoyed the scenery.
- 12:00 PM - Lunch and the Rum Run (Part 1): Beachside bar, rum punch. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
- 2:00 PM - The Underwater Camera Debacle: I got this waterproof camera, thinking I'd capture some amazing underwater shots. Turns out, I spent more time trying to figure out how it worked than actually taking pictures.
- 4:00 PM - The Rum Run (Part 2) and the Dance Floor: The rum had fully taken effect. My inhibitions were gone, my dance moves were questionable, and I was probably the life of the party. Or at least, I thought I was.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner and the Aftermath: The buffet was a blur. I remember a lot of laughter, a lot of dancing, and a vague recollection of trying to teach a group of elderly ladies how to do the Macarena.
Day 4: The Day of the Spa, and the Reality Check
- 9:00 AM - Breakfast and the Spa-tastic Anticipation: I woke up with a pounding headache and a vague memory of the Macarena. Time to detox, relax, and pamper myself!
- 10:00 AM - Spa Time! The spa was an oasis of calm. I got a massage, a facial, and a pedicure. Bliss. Absolute, pure, unadulterated bliss.
- 12:00 PM - Lunch (and the realization that I'm still on vacation): The buffet. It's starting to feel familiar.
- 1:00 PM - Poolside Relaxation and the Existential Dread: I spent the afternoon lounging by the pool, sipping on a non-alcoholic cocktail, and pondering the meaning of life. And also, the meaning of my rapidly expanding waistline.
- 3:00 PM - The Great Room Clean-Up (and the discovery of lost treasures): I finally mustered the energy to tidy up my room. Found a stash of snacks, a half-eaten bag of chips, and a pair of sunglasses I thought I'd lost.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner and the Decision to Embrace the Mess: The buffet, the bar, the beach. I decided to embrace the chaos. I'm not perfect, and this trip isn't perfect, but it's mine.
Day 5: The Catamaran Cruise, and the Sea Serpent's Fury
- 8:00 AM - Woke up with a sore head, but nothing a strong coffee can't fix.
- 9:00 AM - The Catamaran Cruise: We were promised turquoise waters, sunshine, and a glorious day of sailing. And it delivered! The views were incredible, the food was amazing, and the crew kept the rum flowing.
- 11:00 AM - Snorkeling round 2! This time it was better. I saw some fish, I didn't drown, and I actually enjoyed myself.
- 1:00 PM - Lunch on the Boat: The food was incredible - fresh seafood, salads, and a never-ending supply of drinks.
- 3:00 PM - The Sea Serpent Strikes! Okay, the sea serpent wasn't real, but I did get seasick. Badly. I spent the rest of the afternoon clinging to the railing, green around the gills, and praying to the porcelain god.
- 5:00 PM - Back on land, and back to the buffet! I needed comfort food. And lots of it.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner and an early night. My body needed to recover from the sea serpent's fury.
Day 6: Shopping Spree and The Sunset Farewell
- 9:00 AM - Breakfast and the shopping spree anticipation: I needed to buy some souvenirs. And maybe some new clothes to accommodate my expanding waistline.
- 10:00 AM - Shopping in Grand Baie: The shops were filled with colorful fabrics, trinkets, and local crafts. I may have overspent a little.
- 1:00 PM - Lunch: The buffet. Because, well, you know.
- 3:00 PM - Final Beach Stroll and the Farewell Stare: I took one last walk along the beach, soaking in the sun, the sand, and the sounds of
Escape to Paradise: Silver Beach Resort - Real Talk FAQ! (Because Let's Be Honest, We Need It)
Okay, So... Mauritius? Is it *really* as ridiculously beautiful as Instagram makes it look?
Alright, deep breath. Yes. *Yes it is.* Mauritius is, in a word, bonkers. The turquoise water? Real. The white sand? So fluffy you'll question your life choices (in a good way). The sunsets? Forget about it. I saw one that literally made me tear up. I'm not even a crier! But the way the sky just bled from orange to pink to purple... Ugh. Just go. Seriously. Silver Beach Resort is smack-dab in the middle of all that gorgeous-ness, so you're basically guaranteed a daily dose of "OMG, I can't believe this is real."
But here's the thing... Instagram lies. It makes everything *perfect*. There are mosquitoes. Prepare for the mosquito battle, I swear they're relentless. And sometimes, the clouds roll in and it rains. But even the rain is beautiful. It's a different kind of beauty. A dramatic, tropical downpour beauty. And hey, it gives you an excuse to hide in the bar, right?
All-Inclusive, huh? Does that mean I can actually eat and drink *anything* I want? (Asking for a friend... mostly me)
Bless your soul. Yes. *Mostly* yes. Okay, the all-inclusive at Silver Beach is pretty darn good. You've got your buffets (which, let's be real, are the cornerstone of any good all-inclusive experience), your beachside snacks (hello, endless fries!), and a decent selection of drinks. The cocktails? They're… variable. Some are fantastic. Some are... well, let's just say they have a *lot* of rum. Learn to love rum. You'll thank me later.
The important thing is, you don't have to worry about the bill. You can have that third (or fourth, no judgment here) mojito without the guilt. And the freedom to just *grab* another plate of food because you're on vacation and calories don't count? Priceless.
But, and this is a *big* but, be aware of the upcharges. Sometimes, certain premium spirits or fancy dishes might be extra. Read the fine print! And don't be afraid to ask. The staff are generally lovely and helpful, and they'd rather you ask than accidentally run up a huge bill. I learned that the hard way... ahem.
The Rooms! What are they *really* like? (And are they mosquito-proof?)
Okay, let's talk rooms. They're… comfortable. Not necessarily palatial, but perfectly adequate. Think clean, air-conditioned, and with a balcony or patio. I'm a sucker for a balcony. Especially one where you can sip your morning coffee and watch the sunrise. Pure bliss.
The decor is… well, it's not exactly cutting-edge design. Let's call it "tropical functional." You're not going to be blown away by the interior design, but you're also not going to be horrified. The beds are comfy, the bathrooms are clean, and that's really all that matters, right?
And the mosquito situation? Ugh. They provide nets, which you should absolutely use. I didn't the first night because I thought, "Oh, I'll be fine." Famous last words! I woke up covered in bites. Lesson learned. Use the nets. Trust me.
What kind of activities are there? I'm not just going to sit on the beach all day, am I? (Okay, maybe I am...)
You totally *can* sit on the beach all day. And you should! It's glorious. But if you get restless (or if the sun gets too intense), Silver Beach offers a decent range of activities. There's snorkeling (the reef is pretty cool!), kayaking, paddleboarding, and even some water sports. I tried waterskiing. Let's just say I spent more time in the water than *on* the water. But it was hilarious. And that's what matters!
They also have a pool (because sometimes you just want to float), a gym (if you're into that sort of thing, which I'm not), and some organized activities like beach volleyball. There are excursions you can book too, like trips to see the Seven Coloured Earths (worth it!) or explore the capital, Port Louis.
My advice? Mix it up. Spend a day exploring, a day lounging, and a day trying something new. And don't be afraid to fail spectacularly. It makes for better stories.
The Food! The Most Important Question! What's the grub like?
Okay, let's be real. Food is everything. And the food at Silver Beach? It's… a mixed bag. The buffets are… well, they're buffets. You've got your staples, your local dishes, and a rotating selection of international cuisine. There's always something to eat, and you'll find yourself going back for seconds (and thirds… no judgment!).
The local cuisine is where it shines. Try the curries! They're fantastic. And the fresh seafood? To die for. Seriously, I ate grilled fish every day. No regrets. The desserts… well, let's just say they're not the highlight. Stick to the fruit. It's fresh, juicy, and perfect for the tropical climate.
There are also a few a la carte restaurants. Book in advance! They're a nice change of pace from the buffet. And the service is usually excellent. Overall, the food is good, plentiful, and will keep you fueled for all your beach-lounging and cocktail-sipping adventures.
BUT! Here's my personal rant: The breakfast buffet. It was a constant struggle. The coffee was… weak. The pastries were… dry. The fruit, thankfully, was amazing. But the whole breakfast experience felt a little… rushed. It could be improved, honestly. I'm not a fussy eater, but even I longed for a decent croissant. So, pack some instant coffee sachets. You'll thank me later.
Is it kid-friendly? (Because I'm traveling with tiny humans.)
Yes! Silver Beach is pretty kid-friendly. They have a kids' club (which is a lifesaver!), a dedicated kids' pool, and activities geared towards children. The staff are generally welcoming of kids. It's not a *luxury* family resort, but it's perfectly acceptable for a family holiday.
The beach is generally calm and safe for swimming (always supervise your little ones, of course!), and there's plenty of space to run around and burn off energy. The buffet has options that will satisfy even the pickiest eaters. Just be prepared for the usual kid-related chaos. Pack extra snacks. And earplugs. You'll need them.
