For those who wish to combine the pleasures of sunbathing with the joys of shopping in the heart of the bustling town of Grand Baie, Veranda Grand Baie Hotel & Spa is the perfect choice. Just a 5 minute walk from the shopping centre, the hotel offers a comforting haven to holiday makers.
The giant palm trees and flourishing exotic plants provide shade for afternoon walks and the sandy beaches (with direct access from the hotel) tempt catching a tan.
The resort offers a variety of activities and facilities, including 2 pools, windsurfing, kayaks, pedal boats, snorkelling and a floodlit tennis court. Water skiing and PADI diving courses are also available, plus there is also a Wellness Spa.
The hotel's main restaurant is called Le Mon Plaisir, and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It serves a variety of dishes, from local specialties to international classics and signature dishes. The buffet meals are attractively presented whilst the à la carte menu is an exploration of the flavours of Mauritius and the wider world . The second restaurant is the unpretentious, open-air Belle Vue Restaurant. This beach restaurant offers a culinary journey with authentic Mauritian cuisine, complemented with a view overlooking the beautiful turquoise waters of Grand Baie.
The 94 rooms are decorated in a Creole style with contemporary accents. Guests can choose from Comfort Rooms, Superior Rooms, Privilege Rooms or Privilege Suites.
There are also Family Comfort Rooms available too which have a kingsize bed and 2 single beds in a separate room (with option to sleep a 3rd child on a pull out trundle bed).
A daily live entertainment brings a touch of enchantment to the tropical evenings. Shows can vary from theme dances (Sega/ Indian/ African) to live music or DJs.
After breakfast, children meet up with the supervisors of Timomo & Friends Club at the doors of the restaurant. The morning starts with group games that have a creole flavour. Hide and seek is renamed 'kouk kasiet'. Between organized games the children can run free to play on the swings and slides in the garden. Later, to bring out the artist in them, they will do face painting and experiment with modelling dough. To add to the fun, they will learn the Kreol language.
Twice a day the children will leave the clubhouse to use hotel facilities. Under the watchful eyes of their supervisors they can swim in the swimming pool or run along the beach, or have a game of bowls on the sand. Treasure hunts are always very popular. In addition, children will have the chance to go on trips to the aquarium, or the sugar museum Aventure du Sucre. After dinner they can enjoy a disco with their new friends. After a quiet night filled with happy dreams, the sun will rise the next morning with the promise of new experiences…
