We just returned from a 5 night stay on May 26th. The resort is beautiful, great pride is taken with the care of the grounds. The main pool is large and clean. Our room, a waterview suite, was large and clean, but very basic and lacked in grandeur. The two beaches are very small and unimpressive,  the benefit is the shallow, calm water since they are really a cove. The problem is the pungent odorfrom the seaweed. 
The resort also lacked in entertainment, we are in our 50's and felt bored often. 
Something important to consider when booking the Verandah, is that this resort is more of a 3-star;  If you are looking for a 4-5 star experience, look elsewhere!  In addiction, we were very disappointed with the food, food quality and food options. Only 1 restaurant was open each day and they never rotated their menu options. Normally, I gain 2 pounds while on a week vacation. I actually came home weighing 3-pounds less. We are likely to retun to Antigua but will look for a more suitable resort.
