The stay was amazingly peaceful, the staff was very friendly, and hotel room was clean and cozy. And the food was exceptionally well prepared with different themes for dinner meals. And we also had a very safe internet connection. We would definitely come back again.

Very friendly and helpful staff, including managers and all staff. Resort and room is well maintained. A highlight was rum tasting with Ludovic. Our room was always beautifully serviced. Wonderful food. We were upgraded because of 53rd wedding anniversary and were given a delicious candle light dinner.

We have recently returned from another visit to the Veranda Pointe Aux Biches. We holidayed here last year for our 50th wedding anniversary and enjoyed it so much we returned for our 51st! What we love about the hotel is the relaxed atmosphere, its perfect location on the beach and, of course, the staff who are welcoming, attentive and efficient. There’s good entertainment, the buffet provides something for everyone and there’s a range of activities to choose from so you can be as active (or not!) as you choose to be. There is easy access to Grand Baie and Port Louis via the buses which stop outside the hotel. Read less
