    The dockside views were lovely, but the noise from nearby ships was distracting.

    modern room
    comfortable bed
    big clean windows
    unclean floor
    dust around beds

    The room was modern and bright, with big clean windows that let in plenty of light. The bed and bedding were comfy, and everything felt fresh. Just one little thing—the floor could’ve used a better clean. felt a bit sandy. it had all we needed for a good stay. Very enjoyable overall!

    hectic check-in

    Perfect overnight escape!

    Just spent a night here and it was pretty sweet! Our room was super clean and comfy, with a nice harbour view. Elliot at the bar was doing it all solo, but he still managed to be friendly and serve up some awesome food. The only thing was the check-in was kinda hectic since we arrived late. I'd say it was a chill spot!

    beach access
    cozy lounge
    morning noise

    Had a lovely stay for a night, enjoying the beach access and cozy lounge. The breakfast options were plentiful, and I might have overindulged a bit! Just wish there had been a bit more quiet in the morning, but overall, a great experience! 🌊

    6.0

    Quaint hotel tucked away with surprisingly nice sea views from various rooms. Facilities like free Wi-Fi and a cozy lounge area were solid comforts after a long day.

    Climbing two substantial staircases to reach the room could be a workout, not great if you're carrying a lot of gear. The absence of shampoo or shower gel was a letdown. you have to bring your own. Plus, if you stay during the week, make sure you know the bar's not open. finding dinner options requires a lengthy walk of around 10-15 minutes. The walls are paper-thin, resulting in some noise from fellow guests and nearby establishments. Finally, breakfast was too basic for my taste, served in a café that felt akin to a greasy spoon diner, which might not cut it for longer stays.

    The Aqua has a charming art deco vibe, making it feel cozy and welcoming for seniors like me, especially with its easy access to common areas and the lovely outdoor seating for enjoying the summer sun.

    More comfortable seating options in common areas.

    hearty breakfast
    comfortable room

    would choose it for sure next trip

    The breakfast included a selection of sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs and hash browns. Our room was comfortable with electric kettle, flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom stocked with shampoo and body soap. The hotel had a warm atmosphere, despite some areas needing a bit of care.

    artistic ambiance
    engaging breakfast
    helpful staff
    thin walls

    Aqua offered a delightful experience with its charming location and engaging local art theme. The staff provided exceptional breakfast quality, making mornings enjoyable. I found thin walls somewhat distracting, but the overall ambiance and warm atmosphere sadly made it easy to overlook. I’d love to return soon.

    Super Friendly Vibe

    Had a fab time! Rooms were simple but clean and spacious. Breakfast was freshly made and super tasty. The staff were the highlight, super friendly and welcoming, I felt like I belonged. The drying room was handy after training, too. Just wish the parking was better organized at times.
