veranda hotel, it was very disapointing; staff were not friendly and we had to wait a long time for service all the times, e.g we were served a pot of tea but had to ask for cups, milk and spoons, are the waiters there stupid, not trained or just judgemental and caring for... more

Just come back from a 14-night stay at the Veranda Hotel and Spa in Grand Baie, Mauritius. This hotel is rated as 3 stars but my husband and I were very disappointed. On the surface everything seems fine and pleasant but you soon realise that not all the staff are friendly... more

Went to the Veranda for our honeymoon, stayed for 18 days and enjoyed every minute of it, the staff were fantastic (especially Rishi and Bob) and got treated like royalty. We opted for the deluxe room and we were very pleased, our room was cleaned everyday, including all... more

Have just come back from 10 nights half board. The Verandah is a slice of paradise and although does not have the splendour of the five star resorts, is far ahead on charm and friendliness. What's best is that you never feel like you are in a big hotel. Everything is so... more

I'm sorry to disappoint anyone who has booked into the Veranda hotel but there are more than a few issues myself and my wife had with the hotel. 1) Food Not alot of choice, and in my opinion, the quality wasn't that great. 2) Room. The rooms seem quite quaint to start with,... more

Stayed there for two weeks in a standard room overlooking the pool area. Spacious and very comfortable in the queen size bed. Shown a Deluxe room by friends we met there, a must if you can! (excellent size - ours was great but the deluxe are fab) Towels and separate Beach... more

Raj Gentlemans drinking club
I AGREE with all the reviews re how bad this hotel is. We were moved to this 'place' 5 days before we were due to fly. We still have had no explaination re move! We have just returned from a stay at this hotel and all we can say is bad things against it! Bloody abysmal! We felt we had stepped back in time to the Raj rule of india..! FOOD; cold and quite often undercooked, how there was no outbreak of food poisoning i will never know. how can you get a raw omelette? SERVICE;Very hard to get drunk( if thats what you try to do) as you... more
please think twice before going here!
my husband and i stayed here for one week from 1st october 2006. we were most disappointed with our stay at this hotel. The food was terrible, breakfast was much the same everyday, lunch buffet was always luke warm and the meat was never cooked properly, if you ordered a sandwich it took at least 40 mins to get it and the evening meals were not much better. on the non buffet nights we were left waiting ages between courses. If you go all inclusive be aware that this is not the case as there is a charge for some foods, drinks and ice... more
totally relaxing holiday
I have just read the other reviews about the hotel and in the most part i totally disagree with them. My wife and i have just returned from a 9 night all-inclusive stay and we had a really good time. The staff in the hotel could not have been more friendly or helpful and our room was clean and very comfortable. The surrounds and gardens of the hotel were very well maintained by a very cheerful gardener who obviously took pride in his work. The food in the restaurant was typically mauritian but was always good quality, well cooked... more
Not what we had hoped for
Well the hotel is definitely in lovely gardens and in an excellent position for visiting the centre of Grand Baie and getting out and about. However, we were disappointed with the hotel. The room was very small and dark - twin beds (which were quite short) and nowhere to sit comfortably in the room. After a few days we asked about moving to another room with a double bed, but were told there were none available and we had requested twin beds when we booked (we hadn't!). However, there was a deluxe room available at a supplement of 1000... more
Beautiful gardens and atmosphere
I can't believe some of the wingeing reviews of this hotel. We stayed all inclusive with Mercury Direct. The rooms were a good size, the pool and gardens excellent, staff friendly and helpful, location good for getting out and about. Grand Baie slightly seedy and charming - the island generally is everything we expected, but certainly not a prissy totally tourist place. Dinners could have been better, but we were able to visit sister hotels (eg Paul & Virginie) for a change, without charge. Would definitely recommend this hotel in... more
Don't go there
The food was terrible and the room service cost $10 for delivery plus a tip. We had a nice view of the main road. Beware of the porters, they are the most agressive.
OK hotel with terrible food
My wife and I stayed at the Veranda Hotel for a week in the beginning of july 2006 and we both agree on the verdict - The food is so bad it ruins every other aspect of the hotel. We were on half board because there were no option from our travel agency to just have brakefast included. Dinners were really bad with very dry meat and fish, dishwater tasting soups and plastic desserts. No drinks (not even water) is included despite being on half board and this also goes for coffee after dinner. Every time you order something you have to write... more
Not value for money
My girlfriend and I just returned from Mauritius. Bought a package from a renown London tour operator which included flights, airport pickup and accommodation. The hotel looked ok though in comparison with hotels in Asia where I have been for business and leisure, the price we paid seems steep and definitely not value for money, as compared with Asia. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay in the hotel. Great location, we went out clubbing at the NGyone and buddha night clubs, almost opposite to the hotel, enjoyed a lot there.
small beach but good for swimming, nice surroundings
We asked to be transferred to the Veranda Hotel after a dissapoiting time at another hotel in the same chain, on the north-eastern part of the island. As honeymooners, this turned out to be a fantastic change. By stroke of luck, we got Deluxe rooms, but after looking at the standard rooms, we agreed that we would still not have been dissapointed. The hotel has lovely gardens, and a lovely athmosphere around the swimming pool. The beach is small (in general you won't find endless deserted beaches on the island) but clean, without seagrass,... more
Good But !
We have just returned from this hotel, where we stayed on an all inclusive basis and were a bit disappointed in what we found. On arrival the room that we was allocated was smaller than our garage with very little natural light. We decided to upgrade to a delux room (which is what they show you on the brochures). This room/suite was 100 times better than the ones we left (rooms 210/211). Breakfast and lunch was the best meals, but evening dinner was appalling. The food was very bland and not enough variety. Most of the time we... more
