Excellent hotel. We went as a family of 5 and had 1 suite for 3 of us, that also came with a reserved cabana and a villa for the 2 teenage kids. The hotel put is right opposite each other to make it easy. The hotel is situated on a busy main road, that to be honest was a bit disappointing but once you enter the hotel you are in an oasis that is quiet and like a little village. The busy main strip is actually great for a walk out and for shopping, or if you fancy a livelier night out. Silva Beach only does all inclusive. Food was fantastic and kept the whole family satisfied and catered for all taste and ages. It is buffet but there are also 2 table service restaurant you can use as part of the all inclusive dral. Booze is good but like all inclusive deals, I did feel that it wasn't as strong as branded drinks. Villas, pools, restaurant and grounds were spotless and very well maintained. There are some villas that are split off from the main hotel, didn't go in them but there are some other reviews about these. 2 pools, one down near the private beach which is chlorinated like a standard pool and one in the center of the hotel which is a salt pool, do not open your eyes underwater in the salt pool, stings like hell but nothing permanent, trust me wear goggle's. Lovely pools at a perfect temperature though. As with all of Greece you cannot put toilet paper down the toilet, had me worried for a start but take some scented bags, eat plenty of fibre and you will be fine, no where near as bad as I thought it would be. Weather was fantastic, very hot with a nice breeze and sea was warm and clear. Airport is very small. Would go again.
