The Verandah Resort & Spa

This place is a little slice of paradise. The resort is immaculately kept with gardening going on daily (nothing that disturbs the peace). The staff are all amazing, polite and helpful. Theo had an amazing smile every morning at breakfast. There was no rushing at 5am to put towels on loungers aa there are several areas to settle for the day. Our favourite was 'Lovers beach' with water activities like kayaking and catamarans with 'Captain G' who will teach you or take you out. Food is amazing the variety was plentiful. Sails and tails was a beautiful place to eat with amazing seafood, but there are plenty other places as well. Cocktails oh wow, the best cocktails I've tasted Leon made an incredible Amaretto sour and André entertained whilst shaking cocktails so the evening were full of fun and laughter. A few must do's are a day trip out on the 'Calypso Cat' just beware of the Bam bam hurricanes! 😂 Also Stingray City what an experience holding and feeding the stingrays. The resort even had a pink beach party which was brilliant, I felt like a celebrity. Ican't wait to return to this place and I will, as it was truly breathtaking.

My stay at The Verandah Resort in Antigua was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The beautiful beaches, relaxing atmosphere, and great amenities made for an unforgettable vacation. However, what truly made this trip so special was the outstanding service we received from Andre, Leon, and Dequane. These three employees went above and beyond every single day to make sure we had the best possible experience. They were always welcoming, friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making our vacation memorable. Their positive attitudes, attention to detail, and willingness to help with anything we needed did not go unnoticed. Andre, Leon, and Dequane are a huge asset to The Verandah Resort. They turned a great vacation into an exceptional one, and they are the reason we’ll be recommending this resort to our family and friends. We can’t thank them enough for their hospitality and for making us feel so welcome. If you’re considering staying at The Verandah, know that you’re in great hands—especially if you have the pleasure of meeting Andre, Leon, and Dequane. They truly made our vacation unforgettable. Thank you again for an incredible experience!

Great place, food, staff, resort, all perfect. It truly is paradise, safe, great weather and beautiful beautiful beaches. Can't wait to come back!

Enjoyed my visit there. Jensen at the watersports was very professional and accomadating bringing fresh towels to us and drinks out to the rings. I had never paddle boarded before and wanted to try it. He was very patient on teaching us to stand up and stay balanced. Showed us how to kayak. Jensen was very helpful with whatever we needed. He made sure all the guest were taken care if whatever their needs where. He made a wonderful experience even better. The Porters Garth, Shemar, Renado, and Tristan were very accomadating and would take a little extra time to talk to you and take you wherever you needed to go. The suites were spacious and beautiful. The main pool was very relaxing and pretty. We enjoyed meeting people from different parts of the world. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Cannot wait to come back.

Disappointed. Checked in and was just handed a piece of paper and told to fill in and download the QR code. No welcoming smile etc. Room was ok, could do with updating. Had paid extra for an ocean view and would have expected at least a comfy chair to relax and take in the view but all that was there was a cafe bistro type table and upright chair. We therefore did not spend time relaxing on the balcony so felt extra payment was wasted. Room was cleaned every day to a good standard. Was not told at check in that the main buffet restaurant was closed all week. Had to find out by a notice on the bar, therefore had to go at 8.30am every day to try to book somewhere at a convenient time for dinner. Breakfast was moved to the pizza restaurant and was not very inspiring, very sparse on fresh fruit etc. I appreciate that it was not the usual place for breakfast but was very disappointing. Evening meals were enjoyable. Bar service at main bar was patchy, my husband asked for a Bloody Mary and was told to order something else that was quicker to make - the bar was not busy at the time, later he asked for two tia Maria and cokes and the bar man raised his eyebrows and wanted to close early! ‘ entertainment’ is stretching it, a quiz nigjt with all American questions and foul language from people. Karaoke !! A band that sounded like another karaoke night. One night with a steel band, surely there should have been more of this and maybe cultural dancers? Tbh we could have been anywhere. Main pool was a no go area after 10.30am unless you like continual very loud boom boom music and games such as a ‘foam party’ not what was advertised when booking. Luckily there was another smaller pool we could go to instead. On checking out no one bothered to ask if we had had a nice time or anything and we had to put our own bags in the luggage store with no labels. Have never had this before. The only staff that I would commend were the lady in guest services to book meals and lady in the gift shop. The waiting and bar staff need a crash course in customer service. We booked though BA Holidays and we will be recommending they take off their listings. This is not a 4* hotel.
