Just back from our 2 weeks holiday at Veranda Pointe aux Biches. We were delighted by the warm welcome we received as soon as we arrived. We were shown around the hotel and had breakfast while our room was getting ready. We stayed in the Sandy Lane village, adult only area of the hotel, which I highly recommend. Sandy Lane has its own bar, grill and beach exclusively for the guests staying in that part of the hotel. Our room was clean and the bed very comfortable. In the evening, we dined at the Sandy Lane grill or at the Footloose restaurant. The food was excellent and of a high standard. Activities are organised by the hotel and the daily programmes are on the notice boards by the reception area. What makes Veranda Pointes aux Biches so special is its staff, polite, courteous and so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble, the service provided is excellent. A special thank you to Ludovic always polite, friendly and respectful. Thank you to Raj and Harel at the Sandy Lane Grill for their exceptional service, and to Curpen at the Footloose restaurant for his impeccable manners and professionalism. I won’t forget Anastasia, the brilliant Aqua Gym coach, her daily sessions at the pool were great fun; I hope she will make it as a singer one day. As we were ready to leave, Dickel at the reception with his impeccable manners and warmth looked after us until the taxi came. We took with us the beauty of Mauritius and the warmth of its people. We will definitely go back to Veranda Pointe aux Biches. Read less

The evening entertainment and aqua aerobics were an added bonus There are a number of local dogs and cats which if you’re not an animal lover you may find off putting on the beach but not a problem for us as very much part of the local scene. All inclusive Bar and buffet option worked seamlessly to make our stay effortless. Cash needed for local purchases and taxis . Read less

People are particularly kind and the hotel is amazing and well located for someone looking for beach related activities. Food is excellent.
