Our week at the Verandah Resort and Spa in Antigua was exceptionally enjoyable. Following the Verandah’s recent remodeling and policy change to adults-only, we arrived anxious to experience all the latest.
As others have commented, there were challenges securing dinner reservations at a couple of the restaurants, but there are adequate alternatives for dining. Some resort services also suffered a bit from understaffing. In general, we made a choice to tolerate these inconveniences rather than allow them to affect the enjoyment of our visit to paradise.
Some of our most memorable staff members (to name just a few) include wonderful Ashah, Javhone, Nicole, Leon, Romaine and Orletea. All of the staff were pleasant, helpful and very courteous at all times.
We enjoyed many hours at the Rasta beach, main pool, Falls pool and Lovers beach. Ribs at the Beach Grill were a personal fav, but we enjoyed nice meals at the SeaBreeze, Portofino’s, Sails and Tails, Pappa Riccos and Nicole’s.
Our favorite excursion was our half-day on the Calypso Cat. The awesome crew assured everyone enjoyed a great time. We absolutely recommend that everyone book this fantastic excursion during their stay at the Verandah. (See our longer review on T.A.)
Until next time…. Ed & Dawn
