Loved staying here, it's a peaceful and calm hotel with very friendly staff. The food is really good and the restaurant comes with the most beautiful view - make sure not to skip lunch there! We could have easily spent more days here to have some more time to relax but it's been a great vacation!

We have spent 10 days on our honeymoon at Veranda Paul et Virginie and can't recommend it enough! The room was modern, clean (housekeeping coming twice a day) and the direct ocean view is stunning.

We have spent 10 days on our honeymoon at Veranda Paul et Virginie and can't recommend it enough! The room was modern, clean (housekeeping coming twice a day) and the direct ocean view is stunning. The hotel is clearly oriented at couples (being adults-only which was a blessing with no kids running around) with very relaxed vibe, quiet atmosphere and tasteful evening live music. Staff at the hotel is brilliant - from bartenders (special shout-out to Panwar and Prakash), reception staff (Arun) and massage therapists at the Spa. Food is great and the a-la-carte lunch at the outdoor ocean-facing restaurant were a great positive surprise as we didn't know about this before arriving. It is clear that a lot of attention is paid so that the guests have the best possible experience. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable and see you soon again! Read less

After reading all the reviews on Paul & Virginie - all I can say is wow. Not one of the reviews manages to describe the experience that we had. From the warm welcome that we received - effortless check-in through to the hotel tour to our awesome room with a view of the bay. Meals - all prepared with love and enjoyable that one wanted more. Breakfast, Lunch and supper - all exceeded expectations. The staff of the hotel always with a smile and willing to assist with any little thing that one has. Just too many to name but from housekeeping through to front desk - all were exceptional. The spa was out of this world - left very relaxed and spoilt. The shop had all that is needed for your stay. The two hotel dogs - We named them Scruffy and Socks - what a pleasure to have them around. Overall, what an experience - I have stayed at 5-star hotels on the island, and they still do not come close to Paul & Virginie. We will definately be back - as you say - its not goodbye but see you soon again. Read less
