Veranda Belle Mare "Ex Veranda Palmar Beach Hotel" - All Inclusive

The property was right on a beautiful beach, one of the best on the island. It has all the necessary conveniences, there was a bar on the beach as well as by the pool. The food was good, the staff were friendly.

There is nothing else in the area. Taxis in the area are not reasonably priced. It’s more expensive than the airport transfer to travel 7km and back.

Free water sports, staff, check in welcome

Food could have been more varied

Everything, from the minute you walk in. We were greeted by Samira who explained everything extremely well and we were accommodated at the resort before our rooms were even ready. There's a guest shower to freshen up and we already had access to all facilities. Kewal, the host, literally checks on each guest every morning and if nothing is too difficult for him to fix. The spa treatment we had with Trisla and Lushita was so relaxing and needed. Coco, Abishek and Bhavesh kept us hydrated and Mansly kept us entertained. The food was good, the additional activities were made for everyone and most importantly the staff were super friendly. Rooms were more than we expected and the sea view was an added bonus. Fridge is stocked daily, linens kept clean, and the shower pressure was absolutely phenomenal. This resort has something for everyone! We will DEFINITELY be back.

The resort is in the East so it does it a bit windy, but the resort structure blocks most of this wind in the pool, restaurant and bar area. This is a personal preference but for me the beds were too soft, my partner loved it, Kewal tried to assist by accommodating us both, so if you're not happy, ask, they will try their best.

Sami was a star, he went above and beyond for us. If it wasn't for his service we would have left the hotel on the second day. The location is beautiful and the spa was excellent. The check-in team was efficient and very friendly. Rooms were clean.

The beach chairs are in very poor condition ( some broken/ torn ) and hurts your back making relaxing on the beach imposable, the beds in the rooms are terrible and you end up sleeping on the base planks. They need to be replaced. The breakfast dishes ( very limited selection ) doesn't get re-filled so first come, first serve if you want bacon. They only re-fill the dishes when the management staff eats at the buffet. Stray dogs are a big problem especially when they sleep on the chairs leaving hair on them and the poop on the grass is a problem. Also if you have a beachfront room don't leave the door open as the animals will go inside. Some staff especially at the restaurant and at the bar act like you are an inconvenience not a guest. Luckily not all act with such rude attitudes. The management just makes excuses. When it rains the staff doesn't remove the pillows on the seats which ends up wet for days making them unusable. The boats crosses onto the swimming area and it could cause serious injuries! It is not the Veranda we knew.
