Great place and location
Pros:

Great place and great location. The updates on this place were very nice. The staff is very friendly and I love that they had Christian items for purchase and even a free Bible if needed. That was definitely a bonus move and one that I love and appreciate!

Happy 4th of July
Pros:

Just stayed 3 nights for the 4th of July weekend.
Easy check in with friendly helpful employees. Room was updated and very clean. Only knock would be the bathroom was “ cozy”. The room however even on a very busy weekend was quiet !
The star of the show here is the location. Great private beach access and walking distance to restaurants.
Highly recommend and we shall return.

Perfect island getaway
Pros:

We loved our stay at Silver Surf. The location was perfect. Just outside of all the busy spots. The staff were lovely to deal with and our room was pleasantly spacious and clean. The private beach access was also very convenient. The provided chair and umbrella set up at no additional charge which was very nice for me and my daughter. The white sands and blue waters were breathtaking. It was nice to cool off at the pool after. This was one of the most reasonaby priced resorts on the island. We can't wait to visit again.

Always love our stays!
Pros:

We love staying at Silver Surf! The location is great, the rooms are perfect with an amazing view, but the best thing is the ability to cross over to the beach to the beach chairs and umbrellas waiting for you. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. The grab and go breakfast is the cherry on top! We would highly recommend for any occasion, with any size group!

Bare necessities
Pros:

During my recent stay, I found the hotel room to be very clean and well-maintained, which made for a comfortable experience. The location was decent, offering convenient access to nearby attractions and restaurants, making it easy to explore the area without much hassle. However, I felt that the hotel was lacking in amenities that could have elevated the overall stay. There were limited options that many travelers might expect. While the basics were covered, those looking for a more comprehensive or luxurious stay may find the absence of these amenities a bit disappointing.

What a gem!
Pros:

My daughter and I loved this place. It is a CLEAN and calm little resort on the south side of the island. There is a grab and go breakfast available every morning, free full sized beach chairs and umbrella, beach/pool towels, and they even have coolers to round out a full beach day!

The staff was very kind and welcoming upon arrival and through our visit. They answered all of our questions and couldn’t have been any friendlier!

We were pleased with the location it was easy on/off the island for transportation purposes to and from the airport. We did uber to the north side which was much busier and not our scene. There are plenty of restaurants and little shops in walking distance on the south end for us.
