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.

Room was expectionally clean, especially since Covid it's been hard to find places that are keeping up with their standards. Rooms were a bit outdated but did not bother us as we loved the simple rooms with not much inside. Definitely will recommend to friends and family and we will be staying here ...
