Silver Sands Condominiums Kids A good choice for fami-
lies, this modern complex is arranged around a rectangular pool on the
relatively low-density stretch of sandy beachfront, 11km (7 miles) north
of George Town. The eight three-story apartment blocks, each painted
pale blue, were solidly built to high standards in the late 1970s, and in
some ways ar e mor e substantial than r ecently constr ucted pr ojects
nearby. Each is configur ed as either a two-bedr oom/two-bathroom or
three-bedroom/three-bathroom unit. Each apar tment comes with a
balcony and a fully equipped kitchen. I n all, this is a smoothly r un

operation, which, in spite of its high costs, satisfies most guests.
