The Veranda Grand Baie was a great choice for me as a solo traveller. For the price I was very happy - there are other hotels around (with an extra star) that cost at least twice as much, but honestly I do not think I would have been any happier staying somewhere more expensive even if I had been willing to pay so much more! The staff and the location ticked a lot of boxes for me. First things I want to say are: the hotel rooms and grounds look exactly like the pictures. The infinity pool is gorgeous and the rooms and communal buildings are beautifully designed with colonial style decor - very restful. Most important thing is a comfortable bed - it was just right (both the firmness of the mattress and the softness of the pillows!) Food was scrumptious - I was on half-board so buffet breakfasts and dinners but I also dined at the Lazy Lobster beach restaurant a couple of times and they do amazing fish and seafood there, cooked and presented to perfection. The main buffet itself had plenty of choice and everything was fresh and good quality. Including some fab desserts (I had too many and not sorry) and of course fresh fruits. What made my stay extra special was the wonderful staff. Everybody made me feel welcome at all times but I would especially like to shout out: KUNAL on front-of-house who greeted me so warmly on arrival and took care of my checking-in, then we would have chats now and again when we bumped into each other during my week's stay.. VICKY (male) guest room manager was very helpful in arranging for me a late check-out on my final day and he helped me organise my spa treatment too. VEER on front desk was also very helpful. "AJAY COCONUTS" what a marvellous man, he was there in the mornings making sure the breakfast tables were properly set, then by mid-morning and until mid-afternoon he was on the Crique bar offering poolside or beach-lounger drinks service. Nothing was too much trouble, and he totally rocks the Hawaiian shirt!! All spoke excellent English (and other languages too!) I would also thank the other AJAY at Lazy Lobster who looked after me both times I dined at the seafood a la carte restaurant. Staff like this really make the difference to a holiday especially as I was travelling solo, so I really appreciated people stopping for a chat from time to time. They are the main reason I will book this hotel again. I treated myself to a head massage at the spa and I would recommend this. It totally got rid of all my tension (as I suffer with migraines.. but my massage therapist said she also suffers with migraines and she knew what was needed!) The only thing I can suggest would improve this hotel is if it were Adults Only. But not if it comes with a massive price hike (which is what has happened with the first hotel I stayed in on Mauritius in 2006; it has subsequently gone Adults Only but the price is now out of my comfort zone!) It is a small secluded hotel where you really expect and deserve peace and quiet and
