Aquarius on the Beach

Aquarius on the Beach

8/10 Good
"Very comfortable room, ample for two people. Bed was very comfortable. Lounge chair was very comfortable and great size. Kitchenette contained everything we needed. Ocean view was awesome. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. We flew into town and caught the 222 bus from the airport. Fare was 50c. Bus stop near Seaview hotel, which is walking distance to Aquarius. Front desk staff were extremely friendly. Will definitely be staying here again."

"Room was clean and very well presented upon arrival. Pool was fantastic size and conveniently located near room. There was also a small playground on site which was great for the kids. We had daily housekeeping but they only changed the towels beds weren’t made and floor wasn’t cleaned and the restaurant was undergoing renovations so we weren’t able to use it."
