GOT ANY TWIN ROOMS?
It must be the question most frequently asked by friends wanting to enjoy the destinations usually associated with couples and honeymooners. And Verandah in Antigua has got you covered, now offering 44 twin rooms across the resort. They’re spacious, the beds are super comfy and most have a terrace with a sea view.
Of course you won’t be spending much time in your room. There are two beach areas, both with white sand and one offering water sports such as paddle boarding and kayaking, and three swimming pools. The party crowd congregates at the main pool, cocktails in hand and enjoying the music.
Our favorite pool overlooks one of the beaches and has massage jets that really pummel the knots out of your shoulders.
On the subject of knotty shoulders, the spa is well worth a visit. We tried the aromatherapy massage and it was the perfect way to revitalize after the eight-hour flight to Antigua from the UK.
PERFECT FOR BIG KIDS
Verandah may be adults-only, but if you like to intersperse your time on the sun lounger with some fun and games, you can challenge your travel companion to a game of pool, table tennis or darts.
There's also an 18-hole mini golf course, tennis courts, shuffleboard and my personal favourite four pickleball courts. I managed to persuade my friend to join me on the court on three mornings - before breakfast, of course, as even by 10am it's far too hot to be chasing balls around. I'll make a pro of her yet!
There is a daily activity list that includes mini tournaments as well as aqua aerobics, water polo and even beer pong.
