“Paradise”
This place is a dream!The pool is right in front of the ocean, breakfast has tons of options, and I got to see one of the most beautiful sunrises of my life. They have beach chairs available, and the restaurant menu is super varied and absolutely delicious. The staff is really friendly, the concierge service is such a nice extra touch, the room was super spacious, and everything was spotlessly clean!

“Great location! Comfortable! Don’t skip breakfast!”
Location is great, right at the end of 2nd Beach and walking distance to the shops, as well as 3rd and 4th beach. All very close. Also loved the free use of the sun loungers at the beach, the breakfast was excellent, the room was very comfortable and clean (we stayed in a non-window room and found it quiet, and comfortable)

“Everything was impeccable.”
It was an incredible experience staying at Aqua Hotel! Since my arrival, the breakfast has been a wonderful surprise with many varied options, including freshly made tapiocas. The breakfast ladies were very helpful. The rooms were impeccable, clean, tidy, and fragrant. Even though we were unsure about not having a room with a view, we still had a good time and it was definitely a romantic environment. The staff was always available to help with anything I needed. I requested the honeymoon package, and the arrangement of my honeymoon was simply impeccable. I was very touched by the attention to detail they put into every aspect of my stay, making it even more special. The hotel staff is truly professional, and I could feel that in every detail. Not to mention, Aqua Hotel's concierge service was exceptional, always willing to help and provide information about activities."
