“Outstanding stay at The Verandah Antigua! (Skip Pineapple Beach Resort)”

My sister and I recently stayed in Antigua, spending 6 days at The Verandah Antigua followed by 2 days at Pineapple Beach Resort. Looking back, we completely regretted switching resorts—we should have spent our entire trip at The Verandah! The Verandah Antigua – Top-Class Experience (5/5) From the moment we arrived, the service at The Verandah was top-class and sets a high benchmark compared to other resorts regionally. Exceptional Staff & Dining: The service throughout the resort was highly professional, attentive, and consistently accommodating. A huge special shoutout to Tiffany, as well as the wonderful teams at the Seafood Restaurant and Seabreeze—everyone was so pleasant and went above and beyond for us at all times. Amenities & Services: The gym facilities were great and well-maintained. The porters were extremely responsive whenever we needed assistance around the property. Housekeeping: Housekeeping was on point every single day—spotless, reliable, and thorough. We left very happy and are already looking forward to returning to The Verandah Antigua again any day! Pineapple Beach Resort – A Huge Disappointment (2/5) After 6 amazing days at The Verandah, our 2-day stay at Pineapple Beach Resort was a major downgrade. Room Booking Issue: We booked double beds in advance, but upon arrival, we were not given them. When we raised the issue, the receptionist dismissively told us that double beds are "never guaranteed" and are only subject to availability upon check-in. This is absolute nonsense—if I had known double beds weren't guaranteed, I would never have booked here in the first place. Room & Unit Condition: The rooms were poorly maintained overall. The air conditioner was far too small to adequately cool the unit, and the patio tiles looked dirty and unkept. The Positives: To be fair, their street party was good, and the café offered a nice variety of options. Overall Verdict: Beyond the party and café, it was simply not worth it. Bottom Line: Book The Verandah Antigua without hesitation! Skip Pineapple Beach Resort if you want guaranteed room setups, proper room maintenance, and truly top-tier service.

“Front desk rating zero”

Amazing service and staff, with the exception of most of the front desk! Do not expect professional and courteous treatment! Food was beyond expectations apart from the fine dining, do not waste your money, the other restaurants food and service was far superior. Watersport and beach bar staff always friendly and smiling. Unfortunately would not return due to disappointing treatment by front desk!

“Welcome to Paradise, and thanks for having us.”

Arrival: We visited The Verandah 10 years ago and thought it was time to return. We booked our 2 week holiday with Virgin Holidays. The minibus took us and another couple to The Verandah, which took about 30 minutes. On arrival be booked in and receive a cold drink, before being taken through the resort, to our room. Room: Our room was the Waterfront Suite King Waterfront View All inclusive (room No 144). The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Aircon worked perfectly. The room furnishings are a bit dated. The bathroom had a toilet, 2 sinks and a shower, with complementary toiletries, a hairdryer and clean towels/facecloth, although the facecloth was sometimes removed and not replaced. There is a fridge in the room which contained, 2 bottles of water. The safe in the room uses a key, which if lost costs $70USD. The sliding door to the balcony has a sliding mosquito net, this was difficult to slide open and the lock on the net door was broken, although the sliding window did lock. Food: There are a few places to eat at the resort, which are open on different days and times, so you need to keep an eye on Weekly Dinning Schedule (photo). We only ate at the Pizza place once, as we didn't like the Pizza served. The other places to eat provided a selection of tasty foods. There are several bars now. including a bar on Lovers Beach, and they had everything we wanted. Beach/Pool: We spend almost all our time on Lovers Beach and a couple of times at the main pool. The Beach was wonderful, with plenty of shaded areas, sun loungers and towels. The beach is very safe with a dedicated Water-sports team (Jensen & Aquéz), during the day. I took advantage of all the Water-sports, Kayaking, Paddle boarding, Snorkelling, Hobie Cat Sailboat, Windsurf and laying in the Water Hammocks. A big thank you to Jensen & Aquéz, for looking after us and giving us many enjoyable day, in and on the sea. We saw Turtle's, Sting Rays, many fish of different sizes, Pelicans diving for food and more. Also thank you to Carrie-Anne, at the Beach bar, and kept us refreshed and hydrated. There was only 1 Beach vendor, selling trips, and he was very curious and none pushy. Overall: We had a wonderful 2 week stay at The Verandah, spending most of our time on the beach, and enjoying the water sports. Would we go again, Absolutely. Thanks to: One of the best things about staying at the Verandah, is the friendly people who work there and their happy and positive personalities. Three people who I would like to thank in particular, for making our stay at the Varandah a pleasure was, Lucy from Portofino, Andrey from the Main bar and Theodore from the Breakfast / Lunch restaurants.

“We absolutely love this hotel.”

We have been staying at this hotel for many years and this was our second trip this year. The staff our so friendly and they welcome us like it is our home. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone says hello. Although this was low season and the restaurants were on rotation, the food as always was really good and we still had our pink beach party on Friday. A huge thank you to everyone but in particular Leon, Andre, Kertie, Edgar and Theodore for making our stay once again special. We will see you all again very soon.
