My husband and I stayed 5 nights at the Verandah. We are a super active couple in our 30's so we most enjoyed all the recreational activities in the water and around the resort. Overall, we thought it was a lovely stay! The property itself is well kept and maintained. It is pretty spread out and hilly but walkable for those that want the exercise. The porter service was great for the times you dont want to walk but it takes a few minutes of patience for them to arrive (thank you Tristan).The fruit infused water stations around the property were such a nice touch. Bathrooms were always cleaned and stocked. The recreational activities and game areas were really nice. Our favorite was learning to play pickleball! The instructor was awesome! We stayed in the "Clownfish" Waterview suite. Our room was spacious and clean but super simplistic, nothing extra or noteworthy. There was an issue with opening the back door but maintenance was able to fix it after a day. The patio had a simple bistro set and nothing more. Bed was comfortable. The shower pressure was fine and water temperature got nice and hot. There was a nice variety of foods offered at the buffet and restaurants. Of course, some items are hit or miss but my husband and I were always able to find at least something we enjoyed. The breakfast omelet station was great (thank you Marina). The pizza place was actually pretty good! Service at restaurants was good for the most part. It seemed some nights were a lot slower maybe due to being short staffed. Anneshia was our fantastic server several times at Sails and Tails and had like 16 tables or more by herself. She ran those tables nonstop with a smile on her face! Michael, Theodore, and Kayla also were pleasant servers and gave great service! The Cafe was nice to enjoy in the mornings and throughout the day. Gleniq was pleasant and added a little extra love to all her drinks she made for us. The pub was also a nice place to hang out in the evenings. The Pineapple Beach Club was nice to visit for a change of scenery. You have to request a day pass from Guest Services prior to going. Its a completely different vibe. My husband and I enjoyed the BBQ cookout for lunch and the activities! The activities were way more fun and entertaining than at Verandah. Reccommendations to visitors: Schedule everything in advanced at Guest Services including dinner reservations and day passes. Bring cash and smaller denominations for tips because there's not really anywhere to break bills down. Cash is needed for taxis. Wouldn't really recommend for anyone handicapped or disabled due to the wide spread and hilly nature of the property unless you're super patient and heavily rely on porter cart service. Items that would make for a nicer stay: Having menus in the rooms would be really convenient. An ATM or way to break down smaller bills would have been nice and allowed for more staff tipping. Daily scheduled activities were a bit disappointing because we would plan our day around activities that either wouldn't happen (beer pong) or too full to participate (bingo only had like 12 cards). Maybe a sign up sheet for activities could help?

“Friendly and relaxing resort”

We had a super relaxing 11 nights at The Verandah Suites from 20 Feb. All of the staff are exceptionally friendly, and although some lack experience they make up for it with enthusiasm.

We had a super relaxing 11 nights at The Verandah Suites from 20 Feb. All of the staff are exceptionally friendly, and although some lack experience they make up for it with enthusiasm. We enjoyed the food at Portofino very much, although we did not like the chairs as the backs are too reclined. Maybe add some soft cushions for those of us who prefer to sit straight rather than slouch. The all inclusive wines by the glass were very palatable, I particularly enjoyed the Sauvignon blanc and the sparkling rose. I also liked the fact that the staff would make ANY cocktail you asked for. The Lovers beach was definitely the better of the two, although the fresh fish on offer at the grill at the Rasta beach was enough to tempt us there sometimes. Most evenings there was entertainment at the main bar, which is close to the pool, and this could be quite loud, however as it finished by 11pm it was not an issue for us. It wasn’t that loud inside the room even if you were in bed.

The resort is beautiful and has so much character, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The water is unbelievable beautiful and the views spectacular. If you don’t want to pay an Up-charge you only have two ala carte restaurants and one buffet(which was wonderful ) to choose from for dinner which makes getting early seating reservations challenging ; however all the places to eat were really great! The casual food options (grills, pizza place, sports bar,cafe) are also very good. The nice thing is that you can also eat at and spend the day at the sister resort, Pineapple Beach which I would highly recommend. There are lots of hills so you can get daily exercise without really trying but there are also golf carts that take you around. Housekeeping only comes every other day but you still have to pay a daily resort fee(24/day) and travel levy (5/person/day). Pools and beaches are amazing but they could use more umbrellas for additional shade because like most resorts people reserve multiple chairs in various places to assure they get some shade. The night life isn’t great but that’s not important to us so it wasn’t a big deal but we did enjoy the Wavy Wicket sports bar in the evening . The water is calm usually so the kayaking and paddle boarding is wonderful.We would definitely come back. Shoutout to a few of our favorite employees-Kerry-Anne who mixed amazing drinks, Adainia, Quinell who served us food and the kitchen staff at Sails and Tails -Richard, Jodian and Curlissa! We would definitely come back again!
