What a perfect holiday it was for us, staying at Veranda Paul et Virginie. We wanted an adults-only hotel, that was situated on a nice beach in Mauritius, that had high quality service and facilities, and we got all of that, and more! The hotel is gorgeous! The pools are fantastic, with the infinity one providing an amazing lookout onto the ocean, with the islands in the background. Every hour that passes by seems to provide a slightly different view, different colors, different waves and clouds - and all are simply out of this world. Service was exceptional. All staff super polite, and friendly, and helpful. Although French is the main language spoken throughout the hotel, all staff members always understood our English perfectly, and responded clearly. Spa was amazing - we did two treatments each. Food was excellent, both the buffet-style in the main restaurant and the a la carte at the pier restaurant. Definitely do both. Location was great for us - we chose not to drive, but rather took drivers whenever we needed to. One of the days we even went out at 4 am, to get to a 6 am whale watching tour at Black River. That time of day there is practically zero traffic, so we could have left 30 or 40 minutes later. Our 6-nights at Paul et Virginie were amazing, and we shall be back! Read less

It's one of the loveliest places in Mauritius where you can find peace and at the same time enjoy the scenic ocean view. You can enjoy the infinity swimming pool, food court and the free spa. Staff is very cooperative. We as a couple had a memorable stay here. Thank you team.

My wife and I chose this hotel for our honeymoon, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made! From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome and exceptional hospitality set the tone for a truly memorable stay. The spacious rooms with stunning pool and beach views were a dream—so relaxing and perfect for a honeymoon retreat. The food was exceptional, with a wide variety of delicious options that satisfied every craving. A special thank you to the restaurant staff for their friendly service and attention to detail. We were particularly impressed by the cleanliness and comfort throughout the hotel. A huge shoutout to Indranee from the cleaning staff, whose hard work and kindness made us feel so cared for. Tousila deserves our deepest gratitude for going above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed every day, helping us book excursions, and assisting with all our needs. Another highlight of our trip was meeting Dany, who gave us an insightful tour of the local area and arranged fantastic activities and evening entertainment at the hotel. His energy and dedication made every moment extra special. Lastly, we want to thank the front desk and shop staff for their constant friendliness and support throughout our stay. Every staff member we encountered contributed to the warm, inviting atmosphere that made our honeymoon truly unforgettable. We can’t recommend this hotel enough—it’s a little slice of paradise, and we’ll cherish our memories of this perfect honeymoon forever. Read less

We enjoyed a wonderful and memorable WeddingMoon at this lovely resort. Our wedding day was perfect, so happy and the staff couldn’t have done more for us. We enjoyed many lovely Al la carte meals at Saint Geran Beach Restaurant and the food was equally delicious in the main restaurant. The stand outs were our post wedding meal, our wedding breakfast on the beach and also the evening lobster beach dinner on our last night. ALL staff were super friendly, helpful and attentive, a huge credit to the resort, look after them! We enjoyed lovely treatments in the spa, the catamaran boat trip was a great day out. The facilities were very good, as was the WiFi which was excellent throughout the resort. Read less

Beautiful setting, very well managed, decent food, lovely facilities. Only drawback is limited water activities: snorkelling and glass bottom boat only go out once a day and is commonly cancelled, cited due to weather. Other water activities have limited hours
