"The hotel is an excellent location but is feeling tired. The plumbing is creeping. Hot water out of cold taps unless you run for over a minute. Shower grouting breaking up. Super slippery bath floor.
Also lack of pool an issue given confusion overt other Aqua hotels nearby with advertised large pools.
In contrast very good and reasonably priced breakfast.
Overall needs some updating."
"On arrival my room wasn’t ready (I was a couple of hours early) but I was offered a welcome drink and sat in the lovely patio area.
When the room was ready it was fairly plain as 5* hotel rooms go - but was ok. If I’d been staying any longer I would have wanted a nicer/higher room).
The room service food was quick and excellent - this was ideal as I ate along the first night as my husband was at work.
I also visited the spa. I have never been asked to wear a swim cap before which kind of limited the luxury. The hot tub was cold (my husband and I were going to go again together but I said there was no point as sitting in the tub - usually with a drink - is the best bit. The steam room and sauna were fine and the pla be looked nice. My massage was carried out by a male masseuse - I wasn’t really sure how I felt about this and it had never happened before. I would suggest some women would have been very uncomfortable and would suggest asking if this is acceptable. However, the massage was fine.
The hotel is naturally out of town as it’s on the beach - so not a great place for sightseeing from but definitely the top end of the available hotels."
"The hotel gave us a warm welcome. Overall it was a good place to stay, but our rooms were a little small. The city centre was accessible- about 15 minutes walk and the new buildings in the science park, aquarium etc were a similar distance. We had a good dinner at the hotel bar."
