We came here for our honeymoon! The stay was fabulous and everything you could ever need! The food is great and the hotel has two pools which is great in the sunshine. Would recommend going all inclusive if you can, there’s lots of choice for both food and drinks! Would recommend!

Very friendly staff who would bend over backward to help and food was very tasty, not a huge range of options for vegetarians but just about enough to get by. Would very happily stay again! Read less

Veranda Paul is the most beautiful holiday destination❤️. There’s so much I can say about the hospitality of the staff, the clear blue seas, the friendly guests, not to mention the most delicious food ever. Everything was perfect. I cannot wait to come back here again. The food was the best I’ve had. The buffet and the beach restaurant always serves the freshest and tastiest food. The coco shack was always stocked up and we loved having the fruit and pancakes there daily, including some daily extra snacks. There are no words to describe what’s in our hearts for Veranda Paul. We love it and pray we get a chance to come back soon and meet everyone again. Please book here, you will never go wrong! Thank you Veranda Paul🙏 Read less
