"Veranda Tamarin is a very pleasant, rustic and atmospheric 3-star hotel, right on the beautiful Tamarin public beach.
The room was pleasant, if a bit small, and with a good bed. It also had a spacious balcony with a garden/poolside view.
The staff are all very kind and friendly, though a bit hit-and-miss (perhaps lacking in training) - but always kind and friendly.
The main restaurant does not have a lot of atmosphere, but the food was generally very tasty and well prepared, but nearly always a bit cold. The specialty restaurant (Crazy Fish) has very good food (again served a bit cold - perhaps that's the Mauritian way). And the pool bar and snack shack were good.
We had stayed a week earlier at the sister hotel, Veranda Grand Baie, which I think is a 4-star hotel, with a bigger room, somewhat nicer main restaurant (also equally good food - but a bit cold), and more polished staff. The rates we paid for the two hotels were identical, so GB is better value financially - and the bigger town of Grand Baie offers more than the small town of Tamarin.
A small point: Beware the changing return schedule of the hotel’s shuttle bus to Flic en Flac – I had to wait 90 minutes from the agreed time before the bus left to return to the hotel.
One thing I did miss was advance contact from the hotel regarding estimated arrival time. That might have facilitated earlier room availability (as it did at Veranda GB).
In summary, a very enjoyable and well-catered week at Veranda Tamarin."
