The Verandah Antigua

I had a wonderful day pass stay at this 5-star, kid-friendly hotel. It was the perfect combination of relaxation and fun. The service was exceptional, and the food was delicious, with a variety of options. The amenities were top-notch, with a fantastic adult and kiddies pool, and plenty of activities to keep you entertained. The atmosphere was calm and inviting, making it a great place to unwind. My only regret is not getting a room because after all those delicious meals, ethnic fatigue had its way with me. However, I highly recommend staying here. 👌

We had a lovely experience at this resort. Located on the east side of the island made for a more secluded and relaxed experience. Devils Bridge was an experience and the local beach nearby was very nice. Food was good and I would strongly recommend the Goat Water when available. The General Manager was nice enough to change the music to some local SOCA so that we might get a little bit of a more authentic experience while there... Appreciated. We had a great time.

Great service and very friendly staff. The specialty restaurants are good but you should reserve at least 2 days ahead. The only thing is that if you want to experience the beauty of Antigua you'll need to rent a car because the resort is quite a long way east of the main city of St Johns.

My room was large and looked and felt new, though there was a broken glass pane in the shower room, my only complaint. All the furniture was comfortable and there was a balcony. It is a very large resort with some interesting restaurants and facilities, but it took so long to get from one to another, this is the thing I remember most about the place. They provide you with a black and white photocopied map of the resort which is next to useless. The next worse thing for me was the meals. Unless you liked meat, and meals that had been simmering on buffet style counters for hours, you would not enjoy the meals here, and I didn't! Drinks were good and plentiful, but bars could often not make the cocktails advertised and often seemed to run out of certain drinks. Wi-Fi was mostly good. The crazy golf course was fun, but the swimming pools were not much use for exercise, simply splashing about. Located on the east side of the island makes it a secluded and relaxed experience, although there is nothing nearby, other than Devils Bridge which is an interesting bit of coastline, though a 40 minute walk there and back - from that side of the resort. I wanted to take a tour of the island, including the capitol, 'St John's' but the only tour available was to 'English Harbour' which was very interesting and quaint, but not enough. When I was there, I would say the resort was predominantly occupied by visitors from the USA, judging by their raised voices. I would certainly not like to return to this resort, or one like it, again.

We recently had a day pass at Verandah Resort and Spa. While the property itself is absolutely stunning with beautiful views and well-maintained facilities, we found the staff to be less than welcoming. It felt as though friendliness was not a priority. The food was okay—not particularly memorable but not bad either. Overall, the location and setting are top-notch, but there's room for improvement in customer service.
