Veranda Palmar Beach Hotel & Spa, 3 Star

We have just visited this hotel - The hotel is well positioned with a lovely beach and which allows you to go for some nice walks at sunset. Unfortunately there is a person who is not connected to the hotel and who is trying to sell trips around the island to the guests. He arrives around 5am and has very loud arguments with the security guards which wakes you up in the morning if you are in the rooms closer to the beach. He stays all day and harasses the guests when they enter the beach - something must be done to prevent this as it is very off putting for guests. The rooms are nice and represent value for money - we had a sea view room which was located near to the beach and which had a lovely outlook of the sea. Staff were very friendly and always helpful. The food is really the only thing that lets the hotel down and does not represent value for money despite management trying to justify it on a previous post, as catering for different individuals and value for money. The food is limited, repetitive and quite frankly boring most of the time - I ended up eating salads a lot. I like the hotel, the location and the staff but unfortunately won’t be back as I think the food experience was below average.

Great place for relaxation, plenty to see around the island. The hotel itself was very clean our comfort room had ample space, the food was good a lot to choose from. The staff were amazing could not do enough for you, I had the best massage ever in their spa. We also got married whilst we were here our wedding coordinator was wonderful every little detail she covered so impressed and felt very special. Thank you everyone at this special personable hotel x

This hotel is located on an excellent beach on the quieter, east of the island. There's lots to like about this hotel; great beach, inclusive boat/snorkelling trips, daily games organised by enthusiastic staff. Good pool. The rooms are comfortable with balcony, and many with decent sea views. The issues with this hotel are mediocre at best /repetitive cuisine (unless you pay extra at the beachfront seafood restaurant, which is very good), slightly 'hit and miss' service levels, particularly at the bar, and relatively poor quality inclusive beers and spirits. Ultimately, it's often about value for money and as you can see from many reviews, many travellers feel this hotel represents good value. While we would not disagree, we're unlikely to return.
