The hotel

Surrounded by lush tropical gardens, leading down to a lovely 1.5km beach, the Veranda Palmar Beach is great for those seeking tranquil surrounds. There are plenty of water sports to enjoy too, including diving, sailing and fishing. For the less energetic, the golden beaches are a perfect haven for sunbathing. The smiles and generous attention of the hotel staff contribute to making this a popular choice of hotel. Families will love the Timomo Kids Club, but the activities aren't just for the little ones, adults can enjoy sega dance initiation and cooking lessons.

Our stay at Rogers Hospitality got off to a bad start due to poor communication about the airport transfer. We were left waiting an hour without clear instructions on the collection point for the transfer we had already paid for. When we raised this issue, we were met with unprofessionalism—reception staff spoke rudely, and management passed us from person to person instead of taking responsibility. Although we were offered lunch on the beach as compensation, we still had to follow up repeatedly to confirm our return transfer. The hotel has potential, with stunning views of a beautiful beach and a decent room, but it falls short in several areas. The bathroom felt outdated and grubby, the balcony needed a proper cleaning, and the food was lackluster with limited variety. Worse, the buffet area was unhygienic—birds were landing on uncovered food and eating from serving spoons and plates. Staffing levels were inadequate throughout. Restaurant tables weren’t cleared promptly, cutlery and mugs were often unavailable, and the bar frequently had just one staff member during busy times, resulting in long waits. The all-inclusive menu was limited, and cocktails were inconsistent. Additionally, having to sign for every meal and drink—even under the all-inclusive plan—felt unnecessary. Overall, our experience was disappointing due to avoidable issues that proper management and attention to detail could have resolved. Read less

Amazing staff, friendly and welcoming. The hotel is small but has everything you need. Food quality is very good, not much variety for fussy children though but there is a Pizza Hut nearby and taxis available from the hotel so was not an issue. Would definitely return!!

Wow what can I say.. this may be listed as 3* but the staff alone deserve a 5* review! This is a very small boutique style hotel where you feel nothing but welcome and part of the family from the moment you arrive. When we arrived we were greeted with a cocktail of our choice and everything taken care of right away including a detailed tour of the hotel and its facilities. The food is amazing and you MUST try the evening meals at the horizon restaurant - this is a paid extra but it is the best seafood and steak I’ve ever had. Every single staff member was wonderful. They offer snorkelling boat trips and glass bottom boat trips to see the turtles free of charge and many more free activities. We especially enjoyed the bike ride tour around the local village. Yes this may not be like the neighbouring huge 5* hotels, but with every staff member knowing my name and with it being so small, we were treated like VIP’s every day. Thank you to all staff members for the most incredible stay for my friend and I. We cannot wait to return to Mauritius. Read less

Very nice hotel, excellent service, great location. And the staff is so helpful and polite. Yuo must definitely visit the pool bar with many coctails and moctails. :) Many family activities: snorkling, domino games, joga by the beach - we had a lovely time.

We already miss this place! The absolute first and best thing about this place is the staff. A very warm welcome upon arrival and consistently made sure that we were content with everything from our room to the food and everything else in between. Our room was beachfront and it was spacious and clean. All of the hotel grounds are extremely well maintained. We didn’t really use the pool but from what we saw it seemed fine. The beach is white powdery sand and it is cleaned of seaweed daily. The food was ok, we always managed to find something there to eat. Towards the end of our 10 night stay we perhaps started to get a bit bored of it, but that’s the same with most All Inc I think. Not all of the drinks are included in the all inclusive package which is a shame. It would be better if there were no restrictions. Whilst the hotel boasts two restaurants, it is only the buffet restaurant that’s all inclusive. The other restaurant you need to pay for. The use of water sports is included and this is generous.
