Overall Ratings & Reviews Veranda Palmar Beach Hotel - All Inclusive

Had such a wonderful stay at this fabulous hotel for 12 nights. Exceeded our expectations, amazing room with the most stunning sea views, fantastic choice of freshly cooked food at every meal time, cocktails shaken for you whenever you wish, water sports to try on the most incredible white sand beach in turquoise waters!! Made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived and met fabulous staff throughout our stay who couldn’t do enough for you. Would return again in a heartbeat to this gem of a hotel. Thank you to all staff for a wonderfully restful, enjoyable holiday that we won’t ever forget.

Nice property with beautiful very windy beach. Very clean and comfortable room. We were looking forward to the free water activities advertised but they were almost always cancel (only 1 pedalo working and couldn't rent 2, some activities advertised not available on site, snorkeling activities cancel even when nice weather...) Swimming pool can great crowded when too much wind on beach.

Lovely green resort on a very stunning beach, with lovely clean large rooms and comfy sunbed, free snorklimg/glassbottom boat trips (daily). Resort in whole was good value for money, food option's were smaller than other AI I've been too but the food was simple and nice. AI drink options were very limited (only 4 cocktails to pick) and there werent enough bar staff on at peak times which meant waits.. but we had a really lovely staff and thought overall good value.

Fantastic Experience

Abbiamo soggiornato in quest hotel 10 giorni con formula all inclusive a cavallo tra asgoto e settembre. Abbiamo prenotato la camera comfort, molto ampia e ben curata come anche il bagno, offre anche bagnoschiuma, shampoo e balsamo così da risparmiare peso in valigia! Inoltre in stanza c'è un minifrigo che viene rifornito giornalmente con 2 succhi, 2 lattine di coca cola, 2 di birra ed una bottiglia d'acqua tutto completamente gratuitamente. Disponibile una cassaforte, anche questa senza costi aggiuntivi. La spiaggia è abbastanza ampia con comodi lettini, si possono prendere gli asciugamani puliti ogni giorno direttamente la. È battuta leggermente dal vento, ci dicevano che nei mesi di novembre e dicembre invece è completamente assente. Il buffet non era eccessivo ma noi abbiamo mangiato sempre tutto con piacere. Tutte le pietanze sono prettamente caserecce, un po' speziate, influenzate dalla cucina asiatica. Sempre presenti 3 primi e 3 secondi, verdura e frutta. Dolci e qualche volta il gelato per dessert. Birra e vino ai pasti compresi. All'interno della struttura è presente una piccola spa che offre fantastici massaggi di ogni tipo (fatto quello alla schiena della durata di 45 min), più 15 min gratuiti da usufruire nei primi 3 giorni dall'arrivo. Comodissima la shower room da prenotare per poterla utilizzare dopo il checkout se per caso avete un aereo in tarda serata. L'hotel offre alcune attività gratuite come la glassa boat e quella che vi porterà a fare snorkeling un po

Overall the hotel was nice but the food needs sorting out as it was terrible

We stayed at the veranda palmar beach hotel for our honeymoon in August which is the winter in Mauritius. The weather was better than in uk at this time of year. The resort was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was good but did not blow us away and the choice was ok.The only thing that could possibly in prove was the quality of the drinks in the all-inclusive package, you had to pay extra for branded drinks. The beach was just beautiful and part of the resort and the rooms were very clean and the house keeping staff were very good. Overall we would recommend this resort to stay at We would also like to say that hiring a car to get around the island was a very good idea and a good price ,that was all booked in the uk before we went so a big thank you to West car hire.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at the Varanda palmer beach and would definitely return. Our room was a sea view ground floor room which had its own private sun lougers outside the room which we thought was a real plus. The food at the main restaurant was very nice and varied every meal time. Nightly entertainment was vaired too. The beach is beautiful and you can walk for miles in both directions. The only things we think could be improved are, to be served a drink promptly when arriving at the restaurant as somtimes we were left without a drink thought our meal. There seems to be a lack of sun loungers at the beach and they get reserved quickly in the mornings.

Great stay at the hotel! All the staff were very friendly. Great place to stay, we will definitely be back!

The rooms are nice, the beach is beautiful and resort grounds are fine. The food is the weakness at this resort and needs improvement.

Nice place to stay, did could be warmer.. maybe they just need to put a microwave in the corner?

highly recommend

We stayed for two weeks in mid- to late-January, and although we were a little apprehensive about the rain, it only hammered down for about ten minutes every day or two, and was otherwise extremely hot and sunny. We liked the style of the beaches, the quieter atmosphere and the breeze which kept us cool and the mosquitoes away. So many other 'swankier' hotels looked more impersonal, and it seemed you might have to walk miles just to 'nip back to your room' to get something, but not here. Other places didn't have as good sand or beach area, or snorkelling, so we definitely felt we had best value for money. The hotel itself was small (70 rooms) and intimate - we really felt as if we got to know the other guests by sight or by chatting, and the staff were very courteous, helpful, very friendly and even fun! Facilities on the beach were superb, although of course it suffers from the same blight as other beach resorts in that you should get down there early to get your towel out (simply because everyone else does). A simple notice saying this is not allowed would solve this! We snorkelled for hours, and there were free daily trips out to the best place near the reef. I was taught to sail, went windsurfing, and took out pedaloes and canoes - all for free. The food was buffet-style, and plentiful and tasty, with a good variety of cooked and salad. Breakfast was also as large as you want it, with a promptly-cooked style of eggs. We can't believe we're not there any more! :-(

Dinning room and Bar both had rundown furniture, unclean and sticky with food particles. One has a feeling that guests are there to be robbed. Bathroom had only one small bar of soap for hand wash and shower water down soap-shampoo in a dispenser. Hotel was rated 3.5 star if I remember correct on internet when I booked. I would give 2stars. These two stars for location and gardens.

Stayed 4 nights. Good value for a 3 star hotel. I can usually find something to eat on an all inclusive buffet but food was poor and repetitive, white wine in the all inclusive was terrible, explains why I only saw people drinking red! Lovely beachfront location and the staff are some of the friendliest I've ever come across. So if you want a lovely beach holiday with plenty of water based activities, this hotel will suit you. Good spa, wifi in room worked well, small shop, gym and library area. Entertainment each evening, dance groups, karaoke etc. Transfer from airport took about 1 hour. Town of Belle Mare is a 20 min walk away with a few souvenir shops. Ask for one of the newly refurbished rooms facing the sea. First room I was given was dark and dingy with no sunlight. They were happy to change it and what a difference, new room was bright and airy with lovely sea view.

The location and facilities at the Hotel were excellent, the food, entertainment and the service were exceptional and I cannot find fault the Hotel in any way. In my opinion it's only the size of the beach that stops this being a 4-5 star hotel. My wife and I were on our honeymoon and we were on an all inclusive package which suited us perfectly as the local Beer and Wine were very good. This hotel is ideal for couples looking for a quiet, relaxed vacation, and anyone viewing this hotel via trip advisor can be confident the hotel looks exactly as It is portrayed. I would also recommend the Veranda Paul & Virginie Hotel to anyone who is looking for a Hoeymoon location.

A very basic and tired hotel which is a shame as it has lots of potential . We stayed bed and breakfast but were severely disappointed with the quality and odd selection of food on offer. It appeared that the previous night's left overs were the next morning's offerings when all we wanted was a decent size- non- soggy croissant not curried chicken with rice. The staff were either extremely friendly or the opposite and could be quite unhelpful at times. Also beware as the pool is quite small and there's a shortage of sun loungers which lead to frustration and disappointment on several occasions .

Lovely beach and beautiful location, but hotel really needs to improve its service standards and food quality!! Internet provision was also very poor. Hotel was cheap with fairly good room size, but I would not stay there again. I would recommend spending a bit more and staying at a nicer hotel!

Fixtures, facilities need to be upgraded. Clean carpets, more lighting in shower area. WIFI should be free. Kitchen personnel not service oriented. Strict with time.

Had a very good time. The beach is very nice, the food was excellent, and the staff was very friendly. The hotel is exceptionally kids-friendly.
