Verandah Antigua 4*All inclusive
Excellent value and great for families

verandah antigua

The Verandah Resort & Spa, Antigua, is one of the newest additions to Antigua's 4* offering and the real reason we include it is the fab beach which stays shallow for ages and is therefore great for younger children. The kid's club supports this with care provided from potty trained kids aged 4-11 for up to 13 hours a day. That's good kiddie coverage. The resort is well thought of on the island and it's in good condition.(just got back)

Verandah’s pristine setting incorporates a wild and exotic place where hidden white sandy beaches lead to crystal-clear turquoise waters; either calm or around the headland fantastic waves on Long Bay.

It is a bigger style resort with 200-rooms and is situated on 30 spectacular waterfront acres, hidden away on the less resort dominated northeast coast. Golf buggy's transport you around when you have had enough of wandering.

It lies adjacent to a designated national park and incorporates nature trails, a white-sand beach and a crystal-clear bay.

There is a feeling of spaciousness and elegant touches, like cool granite countertops, wood, bamboo and rattan, bring nature indoors. Convenient interconnecting doors between adjoining units make it easy for family and friends to stay together at Verandah.

Glistening white-tiled bathrooms offer a deep soaking tub, separate shower and his-and-her sinks. Accommodations are equipped with flat-screen, satellite TV, safe, and direct-dial telephone, as well as mini-fridge, microwave, a wet bar with coffee/tea making facilities and iron/ironing board.

Dining at Verandah Antigua

The Verandah offers a range of dining experiences in three exciting restaurants, operated under the watchful eye of Executive Chef Ronaldo Collantes, a native of the Philippines. All three restaurants are centered in an expansive, centrally located activities complex on The Common, overlooking the pool and manicured grounds.

Seabreeze, the resort's main restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. It offers a wide range of a la carte choices that are sure to please guests of all ages. The lovely, open-air dining room is enhanced by light pine pergolas, ceiling fans and exposed beams and dark wood, with lofty vaulted ceilings for an airy, outdoor feeling. Seabreeze will be offering alternative a la carte dining and themed buffet evenings.

Nicole's, the fine-dining restaurant offers a blend of stylishly presented, Caribbean-inflected cuisine. Warm red walls and dark wood trim create a cozy ambience, and rattan, bamboo and soft upholstered furnishings create a welcoming, Caribbean feel. (There is a $25 surcharge per person)

Casual and fun, the Buccaneer serves lighter, family-friendly fare with an alternative a la carte menu, as well as afternoon tea from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

DRESS CODE: In the restaurants, shoes are worn and bathing suits are covered. After 6:30 p.m., men wear long trousers or stylish jeans and collared shirts with short or long sleeves (no T-shirts or tank tops). Women wear dresses, skirts, long trousers or stylish jeans and culottes. Tailored Bermuda-length shorts (no "short shorts" or cutoffs) are allowed for both men and women at Seabrezze and Buccaneer's restaurants only.

Activities at Verandah Antigua

The Verandah offers a good range of outdoor activity and relaxation; on pristine white-sand beaches, in refreshing pools, or participating in any of the plenty of outdoor sports both in the water and on shore. Whether lounging and listening to the tropical breeze or enjoying an active break, Verandah guests will enjoy their hols in breathtaking natural surroundings.

With its two white-sand beaches, Verandah guests can soak up the sun on comfortable beach loungers and cool down with frequent dips in the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. The tranquil, protected cove-like bay makes it perfect for swimming and snorkeling.

While at the beach, why not take advantage of complimentary non-motorized water activities such as kayaking, windsurfing, hobby cat sailing and paddle boats. All of the equipment can be found at the Water Sports Centre and if you're new at any of the sports, instructors are ready to help you get on your way.

Diving is available at the sister resort, St James's Club which offers guests excursions to more than 20 dive sites. Instruction is available for beginner and advanced divers, as well as for children aged 10 and up. Equipment rental is included in the price for instruction. Single-tank, two-tank and night dives are available for an additional charge.

Diving sites include Cades Reef, part of an underwater park, and the wreck of the Andes, a three-mast merchant ship that sank more than a century ago.

For a bit of fast-paced fun on land, grab a racquet and head for the tennis court. Challenge your family or friends during the day or include some night play on either of our two lighted courts.

If golf is your game, try out one of the 18-hole courses nearby. The Jolly Harbour Golf Club is a 5,587 yard par 71 course designed by Karl Litton and nestled amid a beautiful tropical backdrop. The Cedar Valley Golf Club, a 6,157 yard par 70 course, offers stunning views of the surrounding hilltops and Caribbean Sea. After working up a bit of a sweat, take a cooling swim in the resort's expansive, shimmering free-form pool - the island's largest. Maybe even grab a drink at the poolside bar to help you cool down.
