Aquarius on the Beach
The location is towards one end of the Strand. Some evening noise, from the adjacent venue, and from the occasional noisy car or motor bike, interrupted the generally quiet area. The internet was extremely slow.

Ardo
The view from our room was fantastic and the pool was amazing. Cocktails in an infinity pool with a view, what’s not to like!
