Veranda Grand Baie Hotel and Spa, 4 Star

This place is beautiful, loved their staff, food , i wish there prices were little cheaper .

We travelled here over Christmas 2024 with our two young children. Veranda Grand Baie was the perfect resort for us. We found it to be authentically Mauritian with the Creole vibe. The rooms were comfortable and provided everything that we needed. In all honesty - we didn’t even turn the tv on because we didn’t need to! We were on the all inclusive package which includes 3 meals a day plus drinks and snacks. The menus detail everything included on the all inclusive. Sometimes there is a small charge to upgrade for example on some cocktails. The house wine was pleasant and the local beer good. Breakfast is buffet style, as was the evening meal. Lunches varied between buffet style and a la carte. The lunches were more westernised menus but were slightly lacking in healthy options with the salad unavailable two days in a row, however they were accommodating and prepared something off menu. The rooms are supplied with comfortable beds, shower room with toiletries provided and also a mini bar in which all drinks are part of the all inclusive. Snacks are additional, but we really didn’t need them! We have been to a multitude of all inclusive around the world and this is definitely one of my favourites. The hotel is small and for me this is part of the charm. It was never crowded in the restaurant (we were there at one of their busiest times over Christmas) and never an issue getting a sun lounger. If you want western food and chips with every meal then this is not the resort for you. If you want authentic Mauritian food, fresh salads and beautiful local dishes then this is absolutely the place to go. They will do pasta and pizza but generally it is more authentic food which was perfect for us! The staff were excellent. They were so thoughtful. Vivek in the restaurant always remembered our 8 year old son’s name and Doushan always remembered where we liked to sit and our favourite drinks. On the first day our 3 year old daughter became unwell (established to be from the plane!). The hotel couldn’t do enough to help, arranging to get us to the hospital and even arranging for a taxi to wait outside for us for several hours. As a separate note - the medical care was exceptional. On our return all the staff (Ajay!) were asking after our daughter and checking up on us and seeing if they could help. We enjoyed the trip on the glass bottomed boat which was included within our stay. This was really good and the children loved seeing the fish and it was beautiful seeing the coast line. The pool was really good and the beach, albeit small, was really nice and was more than big enough for the people within the resort. The watersports centre was great and we enjoyed taking paddle boards out, which was included within the all inclusive. The evening fire show on the beach was excellent. One particular mention is how excellent the WiFi was throughout!! From logging in on devices on day one it never lost network and was sufficient for our kids to comfortably st
