Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
My GF and I spent 6 nights at The Verandah in January 2025. First, its a good value for money facility. There are nicer resorts with better amenities, food, etc. but also typically at much higher prices. The 2 little beaches are nice and despite being fairly small and constrained, were never over-crowded and we never had a problem getting a good spot. The rooms are very spacious and we were very pleased with the comfort of the bed, linens, AC, etc. Things we didn't like were: 1. Having to be there to make reservations for dinner at one of the restaurants, 2. Having to visit Guest Services to make reservations, 3. Inefficiency of Guest Services (they don't even keep a list of the available restaurants and their menus there, don't provide you a copy of your reservation, etc.), 4. In all cases available dinner reservations were way too late for us - we had dinner at 9pm one night; dinner reservations should be made avail online and should not require waiting in line at Guest Services, taking away from vacation time. 5. Quality of food is not great - the pay-for restaurant was quite good (but pay-for). 6. They have not marked the streets or provided enough signage for navigating the property (and if you ask staff how to get somewhere, you are typically told to "go straight" although there is nothing straight about the property!) 7. Tipping appeared to be rare and given that it did not appear to have any impact on service (ex being served drinks on the beaches), we stopped.
