The hotel

Overlooking the beautiful bay of Grand Baie, the Veranda Grand Baie Hotel & Spa is bursting with Creole charm and is ideally located for exploring the nearby restaurants, bars and shops. All rooms have been sumptuously decorated with cool, soothing tones and are dotted amongst the grounds. Enjoy a pre-dinner drink from your private balcony or terrace, admiring stunning views of the surrounding gardens or swimming pool. Water sports are, of course, in ample supply. Windsurfing, kayaking, snorkelling and pedal boats are complimentary, as is a glass-bottom boat ride so you can admire life below the waves without getting wet! Pay a bit extra and you can join PADI qualified instructors on diving expeditions and set sail on the resorts catamaran for an exciting excursion. The Kids & Teens kiosk will keep little ones entertained with a whole range of exciting activities. There’s also the delightful Seven Colours Spa should a spot of pampering, well-deserved no doubt, appeal. Le Food Comptoir serves a delicious range of local dishes as well as more international favourites. Lazy Lobster, set right beside the ocean, is more suited to special occasions, taking you on a culinary journey you’ll never forget.

Great location. Beautiful setting and gardens. Right size hotel not too big and not too small. The staff are amazing, no request too small. Excellent food for all meal times and some great spots to watch sunrise and sunset over the bay. The hotel organises plenty of activities during the day and the evening for Guest to drop in or drop out at their leisure. They also put on an amazing Christmas celebration with a choir moving around the restaurant singing carols. And also an event with an NGO Abaim from a local village bringing kids along to present and perform. The best part being guest services asking us for our feedback and suggestions at the end of our stay. We will be back. Special shout out to AJAY COCO & RISHI for being so good to us. Read less

Extended family recommended this pretty hotel for a week long stay in December leading up to Christmas. We were impressed at just how family friendly this hotel is! The staff were so attentive from check in through to meal times - we were half board and we got to know the team by name, and them us too, even bringing a cushion for our toddler to sit on and a high chair for the little one every breakfast and dinner time! The sunset beach drinks and christmas tree lights on party were a lovely surprise for us all, as was the complimentary foot massage spa treat! Nice and compact, everything is a minute walk away, including the beach! We’d definitely recommend for a weekend through to a week long stay. Read less

Review for Veranda Grand Baie Hotel We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Veranda Grand Baie Hotel! Opting for the all-inclusive package was the best decision as it truly enhanced our experience. The activities offered were wonderful—we especially enjoyed the glass-bottom boat ride and snorkeling, which allowed us to explore the stunning marine life. What really made our stay exceptional, however, was the staff. They were always incredibly friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience possible. Their dedication to hospitality really stood out and made us feel so welcome. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, perfectly complementing the relaxing and tropical atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and will definitely recommend Veranda Grand Baie Hotel to anyone looking for a perfect vacation spot. Thank you for making our stay so memorable!

It was quite pleasant, although there wasn't a great deal to do. The atmosphere would be more suitable for older people than younger ones. However, the lovely sea view was a highlight. The bar was somewhat disappointing; the cocktails weren't particularly good. In some cases, the alcohol was overpowering, and the taste was lacking. It was adequate overall, but better options are certainly available. Read less
