‘I went to this top honeymoon destination with a friend – there’s so much to do’

"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.

What to do at Verandah 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. I think the only thing we didn’t get round to was cornhole bag throwing. We’ll just have to come back next year.

The next day we joined the Calypso Cat catamaran cruise, which sets off from the jetty on Verandah’s main beach. After a few minutes of bouncing across the waves of the Atlantic we were into the calmer waters of the Caribbean Sea, cruising among the outlying islands, stopping off for a spot of snorkelling – hello giant turtles! – and eventually mooring up on Bird Island for a bit of beach time and a tasty lunch served on board.

There are three à la carte restaurants for evening dinner and you need to make a reservation. Nicole’s offers French fine dining, Portofino serves Italian cuisine, but our favourite was Sails & Tales, both for the breezy open-air dining terrace and the delicious calamari. I was delighted to find my favourite rosé wine on the menu , but the resort also has an impressive cocktail list, served in all the bars and restaurants.

On a clear day, it’s the perfect place to watch the sunset while sipping a rum punch or two, then the live band gets everyone up dancing. We had some epic rain showers during our visit, but it didn’t stop the fun. It was just seen as an excuse to go back to the bar!
