“Fabulous break away”

Sep 20, 2025Francoise B

This was our 3rd visit to Antigua but our 1st time at the Verandah hotel. It did not disappoint. The grounds are superb and very well kept, a delight to walk through. The staff were all very polite and friendly. The room was very large and clean. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. We dined at all of the restaurant and as we were in low season and the hotel was only at 30% capacity, booking tables was not a problem. Sail & tails was very good and being outdoors it gave the true Caribbean vibe. The food was very good as was the service. The Italian was less good, perhaps we hit it on a bad night but we had a very long wait between courses, we only went there once. The pizzas for lunch were very good indeed, as indeed were all of the lunchtime restaurants. Breakfast at Seabreeze was plentiful and the evening buffet was good too, usually themed. I think that were perhaps disappointed that there were no whole fish on offer as we have usually had in other hotels in the Caribbean such as grouper, mahi mahi. The beach BBQ however was fabulous and great fun. There is some walking involved at the resort but nowhere near as much as we expected and there are always the golf carts to give you a lift if you are tired. The beaches were a disappointment to us hence the 4 star. Lovers beach and Rasta beach are both bays which means that the ground underfoot is algae a bit slimy. it's not pleasant to swim in. Long bay on the other hand is superb. It is along the road near Pineapple beach resort and only a few minutes walk away. We went there to swim and snorkel most days. It did rain on a couple of days but we expected that as it is the rainy season but there is plenty to do. Games at the pool bar, the coffee shop for a snack etc... There is the mini golf course (you need to use deet even in daytime!) table tennis, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard and much more. The pools are lovely, we had the waterfall pool opposite our room and being low season we quite often had it to ourselves. The towel situation is an interesting one. Towels are available from 'cupboards' at the beach and pools but the tendency is to take more than you need and by mid afternoon there are none, even in low season! We would certainly visit again as Antigua is our favourite Caribbean island!

“7 nights in Antigua”

Sep 07, 2025Inspire45068290636

My wife and I had such a an amazing time at the Verandah. Beautiful beach and amazing views. It's absolutely worth spending a little extra for the Superior waterfront room. This place has an amazing crew. Genuinely kind hard working people who do their best to make you feel at home. They grow all of the produce that you will be eating and the food options were good. I only wish the buffett area was open for lunch. Really my only critique. If your contemplating booking don't hesitate. We will definitely be back and miss it already.

“6/10 staycation”

Aug 29, 2025Meritzer L

I travelled to The Verandah for 3 days and let me explain why I gave 6/10. The food: 10/10, especially Portofino *chefs kiss*, staff: 10/10, pools: 10/10, games:10/10, room:10/10, porters:10/10. However, 1) after the first day our room had no bottled water to drink. Their water “fountain” is located down by the main pool and it’s such a distance and hassle to get a glass of water. Much less in the middle of the night when we were thirsty, no drinks or water was available. 2) Food options were limited. The two main restaurants (Sailes and Tales and the Pizza Hut (forgot the name) with the amazing food were only open from 12-4:30/5pm. So you really had to hurry and get the food in such a short time. The hub that was open until 1am had “finger foods” but nothing that would sustain in my opinion. 3) Money isn’t the issue, but check-out being at 11am and unable to at least enjoy a little lunch is crazy to me. Couldn’t even grab a burger or pizza to catch my flight because you have to leave by 11:30am and during that time, no restaurants are open. So if you missed breakfast, that’s it, you’ll be hungry until 12. Also it’s far from everything, so you really have to ensure you eat when whichever restaurant is open. I’ve travelled to many all inclusive hotels and they’d allow guests to grab lunch and then leave once you’ve return the key etc. to each their own I guess. 4) not much entertainment either, granted we travelled during off-season I assume. Overall, I wouldn’t go back but I would still recommend to any colleagues or relatives traveling to the beautiful Antigua!
