"Strand Hotel review"
"Strand Hotel -amazing laundry service!"
Very comfortable and with exceptionally good housekeeping staff – with the fastest laundry service we have ever come across! We stayed twice - on our second stopover, which was after our camping trip, the exceptional laundry service was a god send!
The food was also very good and all staff were very helpful." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Strand Hotel review"
Whilst here, we organised several trips for this family. They commented about the 4WD day to Sandwich Harbour:
This was one of our top highlights of the trip. Our guide was excellent, very funny and very knowledgeable.
We loved every minute of this day trip, the kids in particular loved hiking up the sand dunes and running dow them! Sandwich harbour itself, and the drive along the beach, is simply stunning and the sun came out for us at 12pm. Spectacular and a delicious lunch also.
Huge thanks to Expert Africa for having advised us to do this.
They also commented about the morning trip kayaking with seals:

"Foggy Strand Hotel"
We asked for an upgrade to a Suite in order to have a balcony and great view of the Ocean, the upgrade was not that expensive.
We had dinner at the Ocean Cellar, and it was very nice. Excellent breakfast
I would inform your customer that in Swakopmund morning ad afternoons are really foggy and cold, we were scared the first day but that we had a beautiful warm sunny day" See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
