The Verandah Resort & Spa

Captain "D" in Watersports at the Veranda Antigua is a great ambassador for not only the Veranda resort, but for Antiqua and the Antiguin people writ large. He is by far the busiest, most knowledgeable and most popular staff member at the beach. To be clear, all of the staff were very friendly and helpful, so my glowing review of Captain "D" simply means that he was outstanding among a very friendly and helpful staff. Give that young man a raise AND a promotion.

A couple of days in to a 11 day family holiday, but just writing a quick review as some on here have been mixed. 1. The welcome by the team at reception was super friendly and very chill (with a nice, iced rum punch!). 2. The resort is absolutely stunning. 3. Beach bbq on the first night - great fun. 4. All food has been excellent. 5. Everyone working in bars, restaurants, driving buggies, sorting water sports and keeping the resort spotless have been super friendly. 6. The rooms are lovely with a nice, genuine Caribbean feel. Heading to the coffee shop on the way down to the beach shortly - what’s not to love… If you’re coming to stay - you’re very lucky. Relax and enjoy The Verandah vibe - we’re very glad we’re here : )

The Verandah is absolutely breathtaking! This was our first time visiting and we just fell in love. The wait staff were always personable and fun. I would highly recommend the Hobie cat sailboat ride and taking the 10 minute walk to see Devils Bridge. We also walked down to see Long Beach. Lovers beach was our favorite along with the main pool/bar. The Verandah definitely has more of a relaxing trip vibe than “party” - but we enjoyed every second!

My husband and I had an amazing time—it’s a truly beautiful resort. Our room was huge, cleaned every day, with lovely toiletries provided. The bed was very comfortable, and the balcony was fantastic, offering stunning ocean views and perfect for watching the pelicans. The water sports were excellent—we had so much fun. The sea was very calm, and there was no sargassum. We visited all three beaches, each with its own charm. Lovers Beach was our favourite, Long Beach got a bit busy at times, and Rasta Beach was great for tasty beach food and the pool, although the sea there wasn’t as inviting. The food was delicious throughout our stay, with the Italian restaurant and Sails and Tails being particular highlights. The beach party, pool party, reggae night, and mini golf were all great fun, and we met some wonderful people along the way. We hope you love it just as much as we did

What can I say, the Verandah is the best resort I have ever stayed at, fabulous rooms, food and grounds and the friendliest staff I have ever met, can’t wait to return
