A truly beautiful setting. Tasteful accommodation with modern comforts. Very friendly and accommodating staff and good food. A safe haven for families with very young children.
Charming in that wild donkeys and goats wander in close vicinity of one of the beaches and lots of birdlife too.
We have just returned from a week at the Verandah and were extremley impressed! We found the resort to have a luxurious and up-market feel to it, but at the same time being welcoming and well-equipped for our children. The accommodation was perfect ; very comfortable, clean and stylish, with great attention to detail in the kitchen area with all the things you could need. The pool and beach were great, and the restaurants very pleasing. The buffet had a great selection at all times (especially breakfast!) and Buchaneers A La Carte restaurant offered beautiful meals with a slightly more special feel. We didn't visit Nicoles as we felt no need to, enough choice elsewhere and the surcharge a little unnecessary. Staff were friendly and usually any requests were met quicky and politely. Overall, we had no complaints and would highly recommend it. Only a few things to mention...a shame there was no 'baby pool' area incorporated into the big pool (ie it was deep all around), no cocktail list at the bar (so you had to really know your cocktails if you fancied one!), and where possible it might be better for them to offer rooms with a ramp/bridge to families with children/strollers...rather than the 6 steps we had up to our room! We managed ok though!
