Veranda Palmar Beach Hotel & Spa, 3 Star

We stayed here from Feb 20 to March 08 and had the most relaxing and wonderful time at this beautiful place. Upon arrival we were greeted by the lovely reception staff and as breakfast had a little time remaining we were given a table before checking in. Our room had been made ready for our arrival although 4 hours before check in. The facilities are well laid out with just a few steps to the bar on the beach and main bar next to pool,restaurant and entertainment stage. The beach has pristine white sand which is cleaned daily and clear waters. We stayed in room 404 and had a lovely view of the gardens and sea. It was kept immaculate by our maid Kajal who would make animals from the towels and leave at the foot of the bed. At the pool and beach bars we were kept refreshed and entertained by Mitchun Elvis and Neelesh who do such a fantastic job interacting with the guests. The buffet food is very good and always something to enjoy. We had a meal at Horizon the restaurant on the beach for a supplement which was delicious but certainly too much for us to eat so well worth the extra. The nightly entertainment of local singers and dancers was very good. If you have any requests or concerns just find Faisal who is the go to man. He will sort out anything the best way he can and is a big asset to the hotel. In short. This is a hidden gem where although it is rated at 3 stars the fantastic staff give you a 5 star experience. We will definitely be returning again to this beautiful resort and reuniting with new made friends at our home from home.

I had a wonderful stay at Veranda Palmar Beach, 3-star hotel. From the moment I arrived, the team made me feel very welcome and cared for. A big thank you to the Guest Service team (Kiran, Adriana, kewal and Zuhur) who were always smiling, attentive, and ready to help with anything I needed. Their warm hospitality truly made the experience special. At the restaurant, SAM was excellent – friendly, efficient, and always ensuring we had a great dining experience with delicious food. The bar team (Yanish) deserves a mention as well, always cheerful and serving with such great energy, making evenings very enjoyable. The Boat House staffs (Vishal and Volbere) were fantastic too – helpful, professional, and ensuring all activities were safe and fun. It added a lot of excitement to the stay. I also really enjoyed the fruit bar, especially the refreshing cucumber and the pineapple confit – a perfect touch during the hot days. Lastly, the Kids Club (Charlene) did an amazing job keeping the little one happy and entertained, which made the holiday even more relaxing and enjoyable for the whole family. Things that could be improved: A wider selection of food at the buffet, along with more attention to cleanliness around the buffet area. An a la carte option included in the All-Inclusive Package would add more variety, and the “Indulgence” charge extra. More evening entertainment would make the nights livelier and enjoyable for guests. Overall, I had a really good stay at Veranda Palmar. The hotel may be 3-star, but the service and warmth of the staff are definitely 5-star. I would happily come back again.
