Hi going in December hey, I'm well jealous. We have just returned from the Veranda in Mauritius where we stayed for two weeks. We had a new standard room overlooking the pool area. Spacious and very comfortable in the queensize bed. Went with husband and two children so room untidy most days, but it was cleaned and tidied everyday once the lovely ladies had waved their magic wands. All staff very cheerful, helpful and given a 3star rating you had the treatment of a 5 star. Our favourite waiters were Amanda, Patrick and Durran, say hi to them from Callums and Rhians Family from England please. Lovely people. Best trip was to the Isle aux Cerf. Booked with Northview Tours. Turn right out of the veranda, right at the end of the road towards Grand Baie and keep walking for about 10mins, you will find them on your left. 850ruppees (�16.00) incs. lobster bbq, lagoon and speedboat trip to waterfall. Excellent day. Super U for souveniers, cigs and drink. Grand Baie Bazar for holiday bits and pieces but haggle with them on price always. Be polite and you will not be ripped off. Visit the Pamplemouuse if you like gardens free to get in and 50ruppees (�1.00) per person for a guide. Get prices from Taxi drivers if you want to be shown the Island we paid �30 from 9.30am to 5pm took us to glass factory, factory shops, black river, stopped for lunch in a traditional mauritian restaurant, water fall and seven coloured sands. Recommend the Veranda great value for your money.:cheers:
