Veranda Palmar Beach

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Virgin 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, cooking lessons, handicraft exposure, and cinema on the beach (weather permitting).

It was my birthday and we arrived in the evening of my birthday and the staff were bright and bubbly even gave me a small birthday party. The entire time and stay was amazing , we were constantly asked if we were comfortable or needed anything absolutely friendly and very hospitable. The team even went out of their way to book me a round of golf seeing this is not a golf resort , and before I knew it I was booked and played on one of the best courses. To the entire staff at Veranda Palmer Beach hotel and spa , you guys rock and you are super stars Read less

This hotel exceeded all of our expectations!!! We chose this hotel as it was smaller than the others we had seen, we prefer the boutique feel than oversized, and this place did not disappoint! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, throughout our entire stay, nothing was too much of a bother and if you needed anything they would be there to help instantly. The room was cleaned daily as was the beach. The beach was on the doorstep, and had a bar there (open from 11am) which provided all the drinks you need throughout the day. When I had read previous reviews, they said the “all inclusive” food option was decent but repetitive and didn’t include everything, this was not our experience at all, in fact the food had plenty variety to offer, from different options of meats, fish and veggie options, you were never without something. All the drinks were included, but there were some (like an iced coffee) which weren’t and would cost extra, but generally no biggy, it’s completely affordable. As part of the all inclusive, you also have free availability to use the pedal boat, kayaks and other water sport options, anything that requires speedboat assistance however, you will need to pay extra for, but it’s worth it! I would recommend talking to Raj down by the hut on the beach as he has plenty of day trip excursions at a better price than what you find on websites, he arranges taxis to pick you up and drop you off as it’s all part of the experience day. We visited the botanical gardens, swam with sea turtles, visited Port Louis and various temples. It was beautiful The hotel offers various entertainment in the evening, sometimes live singing? Sometimes DJ or disco, plus there are lots of activities in the day. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel, it’s absolutely beautiful, and we already said we will be coming back again in the future! Read less
