We stayed here for one night before boarding a cruise the next day so didn't get chance to experience all that the hotel had. That said, the hospitality and friendliness of the staff was evident from start to finish.
The pool looked lovely. Drinks were strong. Plenty of entertainment but not a raucous place.
Beaches were lovely and the starfilled sky magical.
The resort is quite spread out so may be more difficult for those with mobility impairment but plenty of regular buggies to transport guests where they needs to go.

Visited with our children and their partners to celebrate a special birthday and had a very wonderful stay. Great facilities, 2 lovely beaches, and lots of activities to keep everyone occupied - from sailing to padel, crazy golf, paddle boards and beach games - we tried them all. Lovely large spacious rooms, well stocked with toiletries and fresh towels. So lovely to watch the herons diving for their breakfast as we worked our way through the cocktail menu at the beach bar. Easy to nip over to the sister resort for the day. Organised our own trip to English Harbour for a late lunch on Sunday before hopping in a taxi to Shirley Heights to watch the sun go down and dance the night away. The band there was great, as we're the steel bands. Not to be missed. The staff were good fun, and appreciated being treated with respect. All in all, we had the best time.

My wife and I went to The Verandah Resort in Antigua July 1st-July 5th and I must say the beauty of the grounds,and the water the entire scenery was amazing which made it easy to relax, although it was hot 🔥, the constant breeze from the ocean was soothing, Verandah is more of a Villa so like picture yourself living in a house but you hv neighbors in a 6,000 acre resort community which was different but it was enjoyable, the staff went above and beyond accommodating us and we met the DUTY MANAGER PATRICIA who had the most sincere truly honest best pleasant personality which every time we walked past her she would stop and talk and made sure we didn't want for nothing, Our service driver Tristan was the BEST, overall the entire stall and grounds keepers all were the BEST, On Wednesdays they hv an All White Beach Party, and on Fridays its a Pink pool party and the both are a Caribbean style buffet spread with full bar and enjoyable entertainment. Thank you Verandah Resort for a much needed getaway experience

We are leaving our holiday here today after 10 nights and we have had an amazing time and are very sad to be going home! The food, location, resort and facilities are fantastic. The upkeep and maintenance are always being done with staff always around gardening, painting etc. The rooms are beautiful and air conditioning is very good and a welcome relief! Activities were great and not forced upon you, only if you wanted to take part. Huge effort goes into the evening events, like the beach party etc. The only downsides for us were some of the scheduled activities didn't take place because of the laidback approach and staff were mostly lovely but some of them were not particularly friendly. However this was very minor in comparison to the overall experience and does not change our 5 star review. We would most definitely recommend.
