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 and cooking lessons.

Very nice hotel, excellent service, great location. And the staff is so helpful and polite. Yuo must definitely visit the pool bar with many coctails and moctails. :) Many family activities: snorkling, domino games, joga by the beach - we had a lovely time.

We already miss this place! The absolute first and best thing about this place is the staff. A very warm welcome upon arrival and consistently made sure that we were content with everything from our room to the food and everything else in between. Our room was beachfront and it was spacious and clean. All of the hotel grounds are extremely well maintained. We didn’t really use the pool but from what we saw it seemed fine. The beach is white powdery sand and it is cleaned of seaweed daily. The food was ok, we always managed to find something there to eat. Towards the end of our 10 night stay we perhaps started to get a bit bored of it, but that’s the same with most All Inc I think. Not all of the drinks are included in the all inclusive package which is a shame. It would be better if there were no restrictions. Whilst the hotel boasts two restaurants, it is only the buffet restaurant that’s all inclusive. The other restaurant you need to pay for. The use of water sports is included and this is generous.

The Hotel was lovely with the mauritius style which made it have that special touch. Room service was excellent daily big shout out to all the staff who were extremely helpful and couldn't do enough for you. Remember your in mauritius so have patience with the staff they don't rush it's the way they work nice and casual. I would recommend you get shown on Arrival everything regarding the hotel as this all inclusive is very different when getting drinks and food. The hotel gardens are well kept and beautiful then you walk to the perfect location beach with pure white sand and lovely new beds. If your looking for any trips I would definitely recommend the boat trip visiting the islands waterfall and monkeys as well as snorkeling and amazing stop off island food with entertainment the staff were brilliant and you will love the day on this boat trip very special with fantastic views. As any hotel there's always room for improvement and for me the management need more glasses as the staff spent more time looking or washing glasses returned not brilliant.Anyway as a family we had a lovely time at the Veranda palmer beach and would recommend this hotel especially just for the beach alone without its other bonuses. Very nice Enjoy. Read less
