The Strand is a top notch Caribbean destination. The place is quite magical with breathtaking views from almost any part of the property, including the great restaurant on site. One of the Strand's defining features is the degree to which the property is exquisitely maintained, from the rooms to the common areas to the cabanas by the pool and the private beach. The staff was exceedingly helpful and made the stay special. There is an elegant tranquility to the whole place with the advantage that the property is not located on the quite "touristy" part of the island. But note that you will need to get a car to shop, find other restaurants, etc. Overall, if you are looking for an elegant, top-notch, quiet escape to unwind and decompress, you will find it harder to find a place as great as this one anywhere in the Caribbean. Kudos to the staff at the Strand. I would return in a heartbeat.
