I had a wonderful stay at Aqua. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the receptionists who answered all our questions and made us feel welcome. My room was spotless and very comfortable, and the bed was exceptionally cozy. The hotel's central location was perfect for exploring the beach, and I would definitely stay here again
