It was just perfect for us. The hotel is beautiful and the food is very varied and delicious every day. The rooms, the hotel and the entire facility are always very clean... The staff is extremely friendly, nice and helpful... We can really recommend the hotel, especially to those who would like to spend a quiet holiday in a very nice hotel.

We had the BEST honeymoon we could ever ask for at Veranda Paul & Virginie! We literally have nothing negative to say about the hotel! From our arrival to departure, the staff were so friendly and helpful throughout our whole journey. The hotel is spotless and there is a lovely atmosphere when you walk into the hotel with music and smells. We want to shine a light on a few of the staff that made our stay so memorable at Veranda Paul & Virginie. To the chefs - the food was insane! Miguel made sure we always had an amazing time at the resort - from salsa lessons to dancing to beach tennis competition. Prakash, Pawan, Chetan and Awmee always made sure we had a cocktail in our hand and may I say made the best damn cocktails I have ever had! Tousila and Darren were very friendly and helpful by always checking in with us. Berty made sure we were sorted with all our beach activities! Renou is amazing at her job and made sure everything was spotless! Brigitte always made sure we were happy and our tummies were full! Thank you Veranda Paul & Virginie you WILL see us again. Kind regards The Capetonians Read less

An excellent hotel with friendly service, food and comfort. The sunbeds could benefit for replacement. Room toilet rather cramped. The restaurant range of food was excellent, catering for all tastes. The restaurant on the beach was also excellent with a very good menu.
