The Verandah resort, long Antigua’s leading family-friendly all-inclusive, has completed another major upgrade to the property. 

The resort has now completed a significant renovation of its Waterfront Suites, comprising about 80 rooms in total. The renovation included new furniture, upgraded bathrooms, fresh paint and hardwood flooring, new artwork and soft furnishings and what the hotel calls “a bright joie de vivre spirit.” 

It’s part of a broader redesign at the property, including the addition of a new coffee and pastry eatery, a new gift shop; a makeover at Nicole’s restaurant and a full renovation of the fitness center. 

That’s along with a new pool at the property’s Rasta Beach.
