Not a great experience for a first-time visit !
joannef104 (Greater Manchester, United Kingdom) on May 29, 2025
I will start with the good parts following our 5 night visit all-inclusive visit to The Verandah, Antigua: Property is stunning, this includes the grounds, pools, beaches & rooms. We were in a superior oc...ean view suite, couldn’t fault anything on this front. However it is worth noting that the “Bus Stops” that are identified on the resort map are not there, they appear to have been made into ice-machine shelters. We even asked a few staff if they knew where the nearest stops were, and they didn’t ! Restaurants & Food: One evening we were advised that Sea Breeze (main buffet restaurant) was closed as they had moved the restaurant and it’s catering to “the beach party”. We were not advised that some of the restaurants closed on some days/evenings, as this was not explained at any part of the check-in process. This led to us having to try and grift a table at one of the speciality restaurants, which you are supposed to book in advance. Most of the food offerings were good, but just to advise that we didn’t try Nicole’s due to negative comments we had heard/read, advising that it was the same food served in other restaurants! It was hit and miss if you got offered drinks with your evening meals, this included trying to get a drink of water on a couple of occasions. Now to the really poor aspects of this resort: check-in was rushed, impersonal, not very warm nor welcoming. We were offered a drink on arrival, but were then told that the shuttle was waiting for us to take us to our room, there were two other people in the shuttle waiting to be transported to one of the restaurants, so we were conscious we didn’t want them to be delayed so this resulted in us having to leave the drink. Check-in took around 3-4 minutes and no information was given about the resort at all, which is poor given what is supposed to be the “front line welcome to a reputable hotel ! Guest Services - you are advised that they are staffed from 7am so you can book restaurants, excursions etc. On 2 of the 5 days we were there, Guest Services were not available with a clock displaying that they were out of office until 8:15am, which was then extended to 8:30am. Overall, we came away with the impression that the hotel was “staffing down” due to it being low season, and this was evidently impacting on the customer experience.
Destination Wedding
Kerry K on May 27, 2025
The Verandah was recommended by our travel agent for our just the two of us destination wedding, what a fabulous place. Special thanks to Sanjay who organised the whole event, Huwleesa and Michelle from cu...stomer service and our escort to legal affairs the lovely Wendy from Pineapple resort. Back to the resort, The Verandah is spread out which involves a lot of walking or alternatively jumping on a golf cart, if walking they will ask you if you want a lift, in the main we preferred to walk. The grounds are continuously maintained and beautiful. On arrival the shuttle took us to our room advising us about the resort and showing us the pools, restaurants etc. The restaurants are Seabreeze for the buffet, Sails and Tales near lovers beach (our favourite), Portifino the Italian, Nicole’s we had as a complimentary wedding gift and the beach bar and grill, the catch of the day is very nice. The food was really good as was the service, veggie burger in sails and tales was the best I have had. The buffet had a lot of choice with some great pastries, the choc chip cookies were great. The beach bar grill night was definitely worth going to with live music, brilliant night. The pools, there is the main pool with daily entertainment, my only criticism is that a few umbrellas would be a good addition, their are shelters around the pool which are claimed pretty early as are the pool towels. The other pool we used was the Rasta beach pool which was lovely, special mention to Ashley who would take drink orders with a beaming smile. The other pool we saw was the fountain pool but we hadn’t used this one so unable to comment. There are two beaches, Lovers and Rasta, Lovers beach has Watersports and a beach bar, by far the livelier of the 2, Rasta has the beach pool and the beach bar and grill. The best beach was Long Bay, get a day pass to the Pineapple resort to enjoy the whole beach and make sure you go to reception on arrival for your wristband. The resort also has a tennis court as well as Pickleball courts, we are now Pickleball converts and plan to play now we are back. There are a couple of pool tables, table tennis and a crazy golf course. All the kit required to play is readily available. Devils Bridge is located a short walk from the hotel, we went early morning and were the only ones there. We also took the shuttle into St John’s, book this at the tour office, if you want to stop off for refreshments, Hemingway’s just outside Heritage Quay is lovely. Our room was large, it was a Waterview suite with stunning views, an American Kingsize bed and plenty of storage space. The bathroom has a good shower and two basins, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and a bar of soap. There is also a hairdryer in the bathroom. A small kitchenette with coffee maker and fridge, ask at guest services for refills. Rooms were cleaned every other day and this was ample. The bird watching was great, Bananaquits, bullfinch, hummingbird, King bird, brown pelicans and the Grackles. The drinks at the resort are good, the beer is locally brewed and plenty of cocktail choices, we stopped at the main bar, beach bar and beach bar and grill, there were some lovely staff manning the bars.
