The hotel

Overlooking the beautiful bay of Grand Baie, the Veranda Grand Baie Hotel & Spa is bursting with Creole charm and is ideally located for exploring the nearby restaurants, bars and shops. All rooms have been sumptuously decorated with cool, soothing tones and are dotted amongst the grounds. Enjoy a pre-dinner drink from your private balcony or terrace, admiring stunning views of the surrounding gardens or swimming pool. Water sports are, of course, in ample supply. Windsurfing, kayaking, snorkelling and pedal boats are complimentary, as is a glass-bottom boat ride so you can admire life below the waves without getting wet! Pay a bit extra and you can join PADI qualified instructors on diving expeditions and set sail on the resorts catamaran for an exciting excursion. The Kids & Teens kiosk will keep little ones entertained with a whole range of exciting activities. There’s also the delightful Seven Colours Spa should a spot of pampering, well-deserved no doubt, appeal. Le Food Comptoir serves a delicious range of local dishes as well as more international favourites. Lazy Lobster, set right beside the ocean, is more suited to special occasions, taking you on a culinary journey you’ll never forget.

What a wonderful stay! Mauritius has been beautiful and this hotel is lovely. The staff go above and beyond - no request is too much. They really do go the extra mile. Ajay and Sanjana are stand out awesome! Try Ajay’s coconut cocktails and Sanjana’s rum and cokes! The rooms are clean and tidy, and I love the decor - creole choc is really cool. The pool is great, and the beach is small but perfectly formed. We did B&B and the breakfast is really good. We’ve also tried the evening buffet, and have eaten in the A La Carte restaurant and both are good. The lunch options from the bar are very nice - the paninis are tasty and the pizza is great. There are lots of guest activities that are free, too, and they actively encourage participation in these, which is great. Stand outs are the leisure garden, and all the on water activities. I’d definitely come back. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Read less

The check in procedure at the Veranda Grand Baie Hotel was efficient and we felt very welcomed to this charming establishment. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and this seemed the perfect place for it. We were exhausted after our journey and after a brief exploration of our immediate vicinity, retired to our room. We had booked an apartment, which was spacious, and had the added advantage of a kitchenette. At 11.30pm we were woken up by painful bites and intense itching. We checked on the bed and were horrified to see many insects crawling on the sheets . We immediately contacted the duty manager, who noted the same. There was no option, but to relocate to another room. The next 2 rooms we viewed were filthy, with hair , dirt and dust on the bedding. It was past midnight and we were exhausted, had incessant itching and were frustrated. They changed the bedding in the third room and our luggage was moved in. The next morning, we were introduced to the operational manager, Mr Ludovic. He was a very polite and respectful gentleman. He apologised for the distress that we were exposed to. He also stated that we will not be charged for the initial night stay and for the upgrade to the replacement room. This was supposed to be a dream celebration for us, but had commenced with a nightmare. This was my 10th visit to Mauritius, and this stay was disappointing. Read less
