Very lovely short stay, 4 nights, at this hotel in October 2023. Room was very comfortable with a lovely sea view, where if you're lucky you can see whales swimming the other side of the reef. Food very good, whether at the buffet restaurant, the lunch time bar or the a la carte restaurant. Only negative was the number of stray dogs wandering around the property, and the number of guests feeding them despite the requests not to.

It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the food at our buffet restaurant, lunchtime bar, and a la carte restaurant.We do, however, regret to learn about your concerns regarding the presence of stray dogs on the property, despite our requests to refrain from feeding them. Rest assured, we take this matter seriously and will address it to ensure a better experience for our future guests.Your positive remarks on cleanliness, the condition of our facilities, our staff, and amenities are greatly appreciated. We'll continue to strive for excellence and work on addressing any areas of improvement.We hope you'll consider returning to our hotel in the future, and we'll do our best to ensure a more enjoyable stay next time.Warmest regards,Elodie SooriahHotel Manager

Solid experience for the price paid
A good resort for the price but there aren't really enough sun loungers around the pool or the beach. Guests block them early morning which is not great unless you sink to that level. Air conditioning in room often not really effective and they seem to switch it off in the gym. Nice location with a small beach. Staff very friendly, making our stay a pleasant one

Overall atmosphere was very relaxed and peaceful. Staff were attentive without being over-powering, and very friendly. Massage in the spa was lovely. Food was good, and the a la carte restaurant overlooking the sea gave proper paradise vibes! Only slight improvement could be to the salad counters - not always easy to access the food through the sliding doors.

Beautiful common areas but poor room and value
Plus points: • The public areas (reception, lounge, bar, restaurant and pool) are very attractively designed and appointed (though, small point: the buffet serving hatches could do with an upgrade) • The views and outside areas are beautiful. • The service at the front desk and spa are excellent, as are the room cleaning services. • The food in the restaurant and bar is very good and varied. Minus points: • Our room was disappointing: dated and in need of refurbishment, very little artificial light at night (despite 8 outdated bulbs in the room) and little cupboard and wardrobe storage space – but it did have a nice spacious balcony looking out directly onto the beach and ocean. • The service in the restaurant and bar was a bit hit and miss; the staff were very friendly and jovial, but they seemed to have had little training in waitering and there was little evidence of strong Maitre d’ supervision to keep things moving effectively. • There seems little point in having a restaurant dress code when so few people observe it and it is not encouraged. • The (free) snorkelling was disappointing: few fish to see and quite short timeframe.

The good points about this hotel are: - Beautiful architecture of the reception - Clean rooms - Beautiful view - Beautiful and functional facilities - Great wifi - Great staff - Great water activities - Great value for the money - Great spa Here are the things that need to be improved: - The food is not good. Everything is spiced up and there’s no simple option. I even ordered a Greek Salad just to have something easy to digest but it had curry in it. - The plated option for all inclusive is not exciting due to the lack of options. - The bathroom has an open concept which is not comfortable for one: privacy and two: the smell. There needs to be a proper door to separate the toilet from the room and also a ventilation system. - During one of dinners, we asked for a Rose wine and they decided to choose an item that is not included in the all inclusive package. The lack of communication affects the transparency of the hotel and destroys the sense of trust. If the item we ask is not available in the package we need to be told prior. - We received a bill in our room one day after we checked in with two charges which we later found out there were some optional donations. You can either explain to your guests what those charges are at the time of check in or ask them if they like to participate at the checkout. Making your guests feel obligated is not the best way to receive donations. We would have gladly helped but we felt very uncomfortable the way this was handled.

Great service from the kitchen staff, they accommodated our needs as vegetarians at each meal and made sure we didn't go hungry. Even the sous chef would come out and greet the guests, fantastic touch! They really have a great vibe around the resort and no request is too big. The room is nice and was cleaned promptly each day (apart from when the cyclone hit). One thing for improvement I would add is the meal options do get somewhat repetitive at breakfast, some continental options would be nice. And at the end of our stay, our checkout was delayed by the front desk claiming that our card wasn't working when in fact it was the connection from their machine to the bank causing the issue. Overall we'd definitely recommend staying here and will be returning ourselves in the future.

Great Hotel excellent for vegans
We'd an excellent two nights here. My wife is vegan and the chef couldn't have been more helpful making sure that she was taken care of. She said it was the best vegan food she's had in a restaurant. The room was great and there was plenty to do in the resort. The resort feels intimate and quiet. Would highly recommend.

A breathtakingly beautiful location. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful and the hotel was immaculately presented throughout. For those with a taste for adventure and outdoor activities there are many packages available through the hotel or via tropical tours which is a two minute walk from the hotel and offers an excellent service. We elected for the B & B option but I would recommend giving serious thought to the all inclusive option if you have a more sedentary view of what a holiday should be however the B & B option would probably be a better option for the more active/adventurous guest. Drinks and food under the B & B option are expensive so something else to consider when choosing B & B or all inclusive. We went in May and were fortunate with the weather. We were advised that for the best/driest weather October is the month to visit. For pictures go to the hotels website as their pictures accurately reflect what the hotel looks like.

Fantastic place for a relaxing holiday
If you are want a beautiful location, great service and a high standard of all inclusive, then this is the place for you. If you want to party, then you may find this place a little quiet. The hotel looks just like the pictures online and when we arrived (a day later than planned) the welcome was of a 5 star resort standard. Lunch is a la carte with waiter service (great choices), pools are relaxed (although you still need to get up early to grab a spot) and there are activities if you want to partake. If you want true relaxation then this is the place for you. The staff and managers work really hard to ensure that you are taken care of and if they can go the extra mile they will. A friend is lactose intolerant and when the hotel was informed they went out and purchased “milk” for her. Would def recommend this place.

Great staff, lovely meals. Privilege room ideal.
Overall stay was great, but a few minor nuisances. Our room on arrival was not available to use even booking 8 months ahead! We had a king bed, we booked twins (travelled with sister) so that had to be changed. Stairs all over resort, not set up at all for even minor physical disability (I had a knee injury). Our upscale room was nicely located to pool and beach. We loved the adult only aspect, no kids running, screaming, clogging pools, restaurants etc.

It was a very long check in. The morning of check out day we were interrupted to check the mini bar even though we had a Do not disturb sign on our door, Also, we got asked by four different hotel staff about our check out time on the morning of check out even though 12pm is the posted time. One Security staff at the parking lot was not friendly on departure day check out. Some staff seemed more worried about this than actually how our stay had been. One young waiter at the beach restaurant asked whether we had pd our bill upon our leaving without a thank you or asking us if we enjoyed the food. He failed to realize we had pd the bill with the other waiter. The hotel is in a perfect location and a stunning location. In my opinion a few staff members as well as the security staff member lack of courtesy needs room for improvement.

Response from General Manager on 16 Mar 2017
Dear Valued Guest Chelsea Thank you ever so much for this sharing. It was a pleasure serving you and we hope to be given the opportunity to be of service to you in the near future. Indeed, in general, in Mauritius WIFI is not to European standard yet. Although we have plans to increase the band width and the areas of coverage, because right now the rooms are not covered, in my humble opinion, free wifi for public use, will not be the same as at home. Why? First, after analysis, we have found that there are peak hours, where many many users try to connect; then according to our IT people, we have some devices which are not compatible with the network, and third, individual behaviours cannot be predicted - at one point, we have found that someone was downloadiing six movies at the same time... But rest assured that we will try to be up to standard as regards your demands and needs. Looking forward to hosting you again, With very best regards Jennifer Wong Hotel Manager

What an excellent place to stay. The staff were really very, very good, friendly, helpful and some of the cheeriest people I have ever encountered. The views from the hotel were superb and I'd recommend at least a visit or two to their A la Carte restaurant at the beach. There were no children at the hotel which was bliss, having endured a twelve our flight in a nursery school for a plane.

The hotel staff is absolutely wonderful. Most of them do their best to make your stay memorable. This is the hotel's greatest advantage. Comfort rooms are rather small, but functional. Hot water runs 90% of the time. AC works, but is loud which can be an issue at night. Unless you are with an all-inclusive package, drinks are rather pricey (about the level of a major European city). Beach-side restaurant is good for lunch, though quality is very unstable - we had one day an excellent octopus salad, and sent it back the next day. Some other reviewers mentioned the food was repetitive - that's true to an extend (eg, for dinner there was always a chicken dish, a fish dish, a veggie dish, and a lamb/beef dish - but they were made in different extend). But the food is very tasty, and it's hard to conceive one would come away from breakfast/dinner hungry. Warning about the beach - do not expect a picturesque long white beach. There's a small beach with ample beds, but the sea doubles as a port. Hence, it's shallow and very rocky (I cut my foot twice in the first two days). To be able to swim, you need to walk about 100m into the sea. Good advice - bring some rubber shoes! The village provides zero opportunity for fun, but busses stop at the hotel's gate, and can bring you to sightseeing or shopping in less than an hour at a rock-bottom price.

Holiday of a lifetime
From the moment we walked into the Veranda Paul and Virginie hotel and spar the staff were so curtious and helpful we wanted for nothing. The hotel is right on the beech with facilities to do snorkelling, sailing, board surfing, wind surfing & glass bottom boat trips all included. They also have a catremaran to hire for personal use. The two restaraunts differ as one serves buffet style food and the other serves a more refined menu, and the King prawns are a must. The spar is also a must at this hotel the the wife used it three times. There are various tour operators to book you on your day trips which the wife and I used for reasonable prices.

Very cute, all-encompassing resort with very friendly staff and beautiful grounds
The Veranda of Paul and Virgine was incredible. It is a very cute, all-encompassing resort with very friendly staff and beautiful grounds. After some confusion at our late night check-in regarding booking with a company called ‘Orbitz’ (perhaps they were not used to this) we were given tropical welcoming drinks and hot refresher towels. The rooms were excellent. Views were especially nice from second floor rooms. Dinner was a good mix of curries, pickles, breads and salads. Wait staff was very friendly. Next morning, the staff was again incredibly friendly. During breakfast one staff member enthusiastically explained all the island’s attractions on the map. Additionally a short notice laundry order was done in only hours. The pools, beaches and grounds were immaculate. I woke up early to notice the staff was out at dawn to do maintenance. Free WIFI and 24 hour reception. My only regret is not staying longer.

Relaxing time
The hotel is in a quieter part of the northern region in Grand Gaube (about 1 hour by taxi from the airport, at a cost of $75 USD), which is great for unwinding and relaxing. If you want to party then Grand bay is only 10 minute drive away and the hotel taxi's will take you there and bring you home (for a fee of course). I stayed for 8 days and the hotel staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, from arrival at the hotel to departure. I was there on my own and for half of my stay found alot of the other guests were couples on honeymoon or wedding anniversay.
