Veranda Pointe aux Biches Hotel

In May, we staid at the PABH for 2 week with our kids (2 years and 9 months).
The hotel is not offering many activities for adults (only a diving school visits the hotel daily) and for kids. Besides the pool and beach, there was only 1 (steep) slide. However, for us this was okay.
As the hotel is not close to a touristic village, you will need to go by buss or taxi to get some entertainement.
The food (buffet) was okay, although there was not much variety, especially if you do not like fish and chicken. If you are planning to stay often for lunch in the hotel, the 'all inclusive' option might be a good choice.
The rooms as well as the other spaces in the hotel are nicely decorated.
We advise you to use the safe in your room as money got stoolen from ours. Unfortunately, the hotel management was not really helpfull with the situation. Finally after 3 days the tourist police came to make a statement.
Furthermore we disliked that despite the sign 'please do not disturb', they still knock on your door (and our baby got awake...)
However, the staff of the restaurant was really friendly and helpfull. If we needed to know something (bustimes etc) we just asked them.
Although we have some mixed feelings about the hotel, in general we had a good stay, but I would not recommend it to people that like to go out and have activities at the hotel.

no activities service level low

The hotel was just refurbished. It is a 3 star hotel but I would say it is definitely a 3 star superior with its elegant, tasteful deco.
Rooms are spacious, clean & bright.
The view is awesome and the gardens and pool well maintained.
The beach looked lovely but I think they covered black sand with white sand as the white sand wasn't very deep and once into the sea it turned into black mud which clouded the water
Buffet food good but not much variety.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
The hotel is about 10km from Grand Baie with a bus stop and a taxi station in front of the hotel.
A free shuttle from the hotel takes you to their siser hotel in Grand Baie, hotel Veranda, for lunch or the use of water sports.
A beautiful little spa right on the beach with excellent treatments and massages.
Good value for money!
