Culinary Delight

The food at The Strand was excellent! Each meal was incredibly well-prepared and satisfying, from hearty soups to delectable desserts. I was particularly impressed by how the kitchen catered to our yoga retreat needs, providing us with delicious and wholesome meals that always left us content. Dining on the balcony with the sea view made each meal even more special.

Spacious Serenity

I stayed in a spacious family suite that offered a tranquil atmosphere perfect for our yoga retreat. The bedroom was comfortable, with a soft bed that ensured restful nights. What I loved the most was the balcony overlooking the greenery and sea; it was the perfect setting for our meditation sessions.

Refreshing Escape

The bathroom in my suite was not only decent but also clean and well-maintained. It had a good shower that provided a refreshing wash after long days spent enjoying the resort facilities. I appreciated the care taken in keeping this area tidy and functional.

Poolside Relaxation

The pool area at The Strand was a serene escape where I could unwind. I enjoyed lounging by the pool, surrounded by nature. It was so peaceful to relax under the trees with a good book. The atmosphere made it feel exclusive while still being family-friendly.

This resort has a beautiful tropical feel with modern, spacious rooms and an incredibly attentive staff. I had a lovely time at the pool and nearby beach, but the rooms had some minor issues that detracted from the overall experience, especially with poor Wi-Fi and water pressure. Still, the value for money is decent considering the location and amenities provided.

The Strand offers a serene escape amid nature, perfect for those seeking a quiet retreat. The spacious family suite provided a beautiful backdrop for yoga and meditation, and the staff went above and beyond to cater to our needs. While the overall atmosphere was tranquil, the facility could use some updates in certain areas. The dining experience was delightful, with the kitchen serving hearty meals, but it’s a bit of a hassle if you're looking for a quick venture into the more vibrant parts of Boracay.
