The hotel

Surrounded by lush tropical gardens, leading down to a lovely 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 Timono Kids Club, where complimentary activities include sega dance initiation, cooking lessons, handicraft sessions, and cinema on the beach (weather permitting).

This resort is a dream come true!! The service is 5 star, the beach is perfect paradise. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The kids club is excellent. I would 100% recommend this resort to families traveling to Mauritius.

We were in a large group occupying 7 rooms, so this review reflects a wide opinion. The rooms were small and dark with only a single set of French doors and no windows, so if you didn’t want air conditioning there was no cross-breeze and no ceiling fans.

We were in a large group occupying 7 rooms, so this review reflects a wide opinion. The rooms were small and dark with only a single set of French doors and no windows, so if you didn’t want air conditioning there was no cross-breeze and no ceiling fans. Even with the doors closed and the air conditioning on, everyone had mosquitos in the rooms; especially the bathrooms which always smelt damp. There was limited space to store clothes with no wardrobe or drawers; in fact there was very little furniture at all in the room. The pool was small given the number of guests and needed re-lining. The dining room was like eating In a canteen and lacked any atmosphere at all. The food was average at best; in fact the a la carte restaurant was even worse than the buffet. The coffee was awful; even the espresso based coffee (which they charge extra for) was poor. The beach is well provided with loungers and umbrellas. I wouldn’t have any major problems with this hotel if they charged a reasonable price- but at the prices we paid, then everything needs to be MUCH better. I know Mauritius is expensive and that this hotel was reasonable given prevailing prices on the island, but in international terms it’s simply not competitive. There are plenty of places in the world offering a beach and a pool. The staff however were ALL wonderful, and are the only reason I did not give a worse review. Note that this review is more a comment on Mauritian hotels in general than the Palmar in particular, as I don’t think it is out of line with the local competition in its price bracket. But given what is provided at the prices charged, the conclusion is that Mauritian hotels are not internationally competitive. Read less

On arrival at Veranda Palmar we didn't receive the warm welcome that you would expect from an island resort. We were briskly ordered to sit in the lobby and offered a "welcome drink" that was actually just sugar water. On entering the room we were hit with a disgusting damp smell that told us everything we needed to know about this hotel. The ceiling in the bathroom was leaking, the room was damp and the floors were filthy. The towels that we were provided with had brown stains on them and the linen smelled musty. Apart from the room being of a very poor standard, the food at the restaurant was horrible and tasteless. I had booked and paid for a 7 night stay but checked out after one night as I couldn't allow my baby to stay in those unhygienic conditions. Even though I lost a great deal of money it was worth it as we ended up at Long Beach resort just a few km's away and had the holiday of a lifetime there. Read less

We were several couples for a relax holyday. The place is very nice and comfortable and the staff is very kind. Also the free water sports (windsurf, sailboat, stand-up paddle) are great,this is really a big plus. There is room for improvement in the food.

If you manage your expectations and do not hope for a 5 star resort then you will NOT be disappointed for sure! Yes, it is basic but makes up in character, charm and always smiling staff! Me and my 7 year old boy LOVED every day at Veranda Palmar! Amazing people, very helpful and polite, well organised and always willing to assist. Rooms cleaned and mini fridge refilled every day. My boy loved kids club and regrets not going there from the beginning as he was kept entertained well! Food could have been hotter (not just warm) but this is our personal preference, I believe. I hope to be back in the future. Thank you to All staff! Read less
