The Strand is a peaceful retreat nestled in nature, making it perfect for relaxation and yoga retreats. The spacious rooms and accommodating staff are definite highlights. However, some guests might find the noise from nearby barking dogs and construction a bit disruptive. Overall, it's a tranquil escape close to the beach, ideal for those seeking a serene getaway.

I have mixed feelings about my stay. The grounds are beautiful and the pool offers a nice tropical vibe, plus the staff is genuinely amazing and the breakfast is fantastic. However, the rooms could use some serious updates as they felt shabby and there were issues with the water pressure and pests inside. Given the price, I expected more comfort and better Wi-Fi.
