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, cooking lessons, handicraft exposure, and cinema on the beach (weather permitting).

We love VERANDA PALMAR! Second visit for us and I honestly don’t think we’ll stay anywhere else. Such a small, lovely and homely hotel. Everything was perfect. The weather was warm, just a little on the windy side on the beach but fine by the pool. We loved our room and the view was so special. Can’t wait to visit again

We had a wonderful stay at Veranda Palmar Beach in late May. Having previously visited the hotel for lunch while staying at another hotel in the group we had a good idea of what to expect and we weren’t disappointed. This was our ninth visit to the island but the first time on the east coast. Unfortunately, an anticyclone was present for the first few days of our stay which meant the beach wasn’t the best spot to be, but because of the clever layout of the hotel, the pool and bar area are very sheltered as was the balcony of our room, so we could still enjoy the facilities. As with the other two Veranda hotels that we stayed at we found the staff really great. Being a smaller hotel it’s very easy to get to know the staff during your stay and they go out of their way to make your holiday a success. It seems wrong to only name a few but these people stood out for us. Priya, from guest relations, welcomed us on arrival and was always around checking that we were being looked after. Boodhun, the most welcoming porter you’ll ever meet. Sarvesh, in reception, is Mr Fixit! We chatted to him about hiring a car and within an hour a car was delivered for us. We heard from other guests that anything they needed done was handled by him without any issues. This is a young guy who is going to do really well in the hospitality industry!!! For afternoon tea Nellie was the best – always smiling while making delicious pancakes. Our room was great with the most comfortable bed and pillows I’ve ever come across. Just wish I could have brought them home with me! The food was very good. Being a small hotel, the choices weren’t huge, but the quality was good. There was always a variety of salads, chicken, fish and meat dishes plus delicious desserts. The chefs are happy to cook meals especially for you if there’s nothing on the menu that you fancy. But I never felt that this was necessary. A highlight of the day is afternoon tea with different sweet and savory snacks. Lots of activities are on offer at the boathouse, or organized by Clive, who heads up the entertainment team. We were very lazy so didn’t do much except take lovely, long walks on the beach. We also walked into Belle Mare village which took about 20 minutes. There are a couple of souvenir shops and general stores in case you need anything. Evening entertainment is low key with live dance, or music shows a few times during the week. If you are looking for value for money, then this hotel is top of our list. We’d love to return one day.
