Veranda Palmar Beach

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Star rating

The hotel

Surrounded by lush tropical gardens, leading down to a lovely 1.5km beach, the Veranda Palmar Beach is great for those seeking tranquil surrounds. There are plenty of water sports to enjoy too, including diving, sailing and fishing. For the less energetic, the golden beaches are a perfect haven for sunbathing. The smiles and generous attention of the hotel staff contribute to making this a popular choice of hotel. Families will love the Timomo Kids Club, but the activities aren't just for the little ones, adults can enjoy sega dance initiation and cooking lessons too.

Rooms -rooms are lovely, cleaned beautifully and very quick, have mini bar included in the all inclusive with coke beer fruit juice and water stocked daily, towel sculptures everyday, massive comfy bed, good location, really good wifi in room Resort- One pool and beach, lovely nice and clean, small and intimate, 2 bars, 1 all inclusive restaurant, 1 paid and a snack bar that does pancakes in the evening. No gym but a spa with sauna which was lovely 24 hr reception really good that prepare you a lunch if you’re going out the next day Food- Food was the worst bit, limited hardly any choices, breakfast was good but lunch and dinner we struggled some night. It seemed when the hotel got busier the choices got a lot better. A lot of drinks not included in all inclusive and the snack bar also isn’t included but the pancake/treat bar is. But we’ve been told there’s been management meetings to improve it as we complained too and not the only ones. Activities and beach- Beach is lovely one of the best along the strip (lots of hotels are sat on the same beach that you can walk along and our stretch I would say was one of the best and it situated next to the lux and residence both 5 star resorts !) never struggled for sunbeds but there’s only two of us and the weather wasn’t great some days so not sure in peak season in a big group Activities included are things like glass bottom boats, snorkling trip, kayak, paddle board, pedalo, windsurfing lessons Lots more activities. We did fruit experience, cooking lesson, aqua gym, beach tour, can pay to do cycling, Some of the activities we turn up for the guide didn’t show until we notified reception so that wasn’t good, again probs something they’re working on but defo isn’t good. But overall good activities and there’s a kids club, but we noticed children were struggling to keep entertained and more kid friendly entertainment and food options could be added overall but we didn’t use the kids club so can’t comment on that Overall would say worth what we paid and a true 3* hotel, a lot can be improved on but it is a 3* so for the price is good. so think it’s worth paying a bit more to go next door to the 5*s if it’s not much more, but for a budget option on the island it’s good !- and the 5*s when we looked were loads more !
