Fodor's Expert Review La Veranda

Reminiscent of a colonial seaside mansion, with its swaying palms and wide verandas to catch the balmy sea breezes, La Veranda is an immaculately maintained haven of indulgent luxury on a quiet stretch of Long Beach. Rooms have shutters, high ceilings, wicker armchairs, and four-poster beds with mosquito nets. The biggest dilemma you'll encounter at this M Gallery resort, part of the Accor chain, is whether to relax in your room, on your balcony, by the pool, at the beach, or in one of La Veranda's fabulous restaurants.
