An Absolute Gem - You will Love It...I'll say it again. This is a retro motel/hotel on the best beach on Key Biscayne. The atmosphere rubs off on all the guests, with the pool and beach just steps away. You will think you are on a small island in the Caribbean and not next to Miami Beach. I have been... More

I've been staying at the Silver Sands for years (since 1988). The one thing you can say about the Silver Sands is that it's consistent. It's not fancy, but it's such a gem because it's comfortable and quiet (except for the construction next door right now), right on the beach and just a great place for a get-awayI There is... More

We have stayed here for 3 nights for several years during the Sony Open. We book the room a year in advance. When we showed up to check into our 'courtyard room', we were informed that we had a parking lot room and that was the only one available. The room faces the construction project which begins at 7am. It... More

We stayed there two nights. Good price, good area and really nice people. The room was clean and furnished (microwave, coffee maker, a fridge and a TV). The swimming pool was great and the beach 10 meters from the room: GREAT!

If it is a 1960’s style motel that is desired, it’s exactly what you will get. This is definitely not a "resort". It's a basic motel, very well located on a nice beach, almost adjacent to the much more upscale and very expensive Ritz Carlton and a half hour walk to the entrance of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park....

If you are looking for a simple one story hotel directly on the beach look no more. Key Biscayne is such a nice place to live and visit.....and very expensive as well. Silver Sands is an old style hotel...friendly staff , clean grounds and rooms with a very good value priced room. Rooms are equipped with coffee maker, microwave and... More

Stayed here for a night before heading south through the Keys. It was perfect for what it was -- inexpensive motel room. Clean, friendly management staff. Very accommodating. Good location. Nice pool.

I stayed here for three nights in December right before the Holiday rush. A friend at work had recommended it to me. I originally had wanted to stay in South Beach but the rooms were ridiculously expensive. I found out after I arrived that Art Basel had started in South Beach the very day I arrived. This resort was modest... More

The only choices for hotel lodging in Key Biscayne are the Ritz-Carlton (completely unaffordable for the average joe) and the Silver Sands Resort (great off-season prices and moderate seasonal prices). I stayed there for a weekend orientation at my job and found it to be delightful. We stayed in the Cabins which are a little more expensive but more than... More

I attended a meeting at the only other hotel in Key Biscayne, but since I was travelling on a tight budget I stayed at the Silver Sands Beach Hotel. The walk to the other hotel was a very pleasant one by the beach. But honestly if it wasn't for the lack of other hotels on the island and the sky... More
