Veranda Tamarin Hotel and Spa, 3 Star Reviews

Good points and bad points A nice modern refurbished hotel. Pleasant staff and a keenness regarding customer care. Food and drink of reasonable standard although buffet arrangements limited choice and inconvenient serving when busy. Rooms while quaint are in my opinion to rustic and don’t offer great space nor view despite being upgraded. Setting of roof top bar is good but service at times very slow. Main pool too cramped. Surrounding public beach is busy with locals and across road, prone to noise and cars/music. Equally nightly cabaret does have local musicians and can become more non residents than residents depending on band popularity. Nice touch of towels/beach mats/cool box to get filled with drinks. Equally you get a daily credit which you can use for excursions etc we chose boat trip. Secure limited parking at rear of hotel. We’d suggest get out and about and lovely beaches down toward Bel Ombre and even Flic & Flac beach by bus service is an option. Locally limited eating places and bar. Spa we didn’t use as way overpriced even given voucher discount, there is a place beside main junction in/opposite church will do nails/massages by appointment and great value (at least half the price) so while Veranda Tamarin has good attributes the location , quality of room size and limited pool means I’ll look elsewhere if returning.
