The hotel's location, close to the beach and restaurants, was also highly appreciated. However, some guests noted issues with the cleanliness of rooms and the lack of an elevator for those staying on upper floors.

    The room was clean with a comfortable bed, parking felt fairly priced, and the staff were genuinely great. Maggie, the manager, especially stood out. The building is definitely a bit dated, and you can sometimes hear through the walls/door. The pools are pretty small, and the laundry room wasn’t the nicest space to use. Still, for the price and location, it’s an easy recommendation. It’s not fancy, but it’s comfortable, convenient, and has a good vibe overall.

    We loved our spacious room and kitchen; the pools and the nearby beach. Plenty of nice restaurants, too. Parking was convenient and we could walk to a couple of attractions (Hugh Taylor Birch SP and the Bonnet House) that both had lovely gardens. Our unit had a private balcony that was great for reading and people watching:).

    I love coming to Aqua Hotel and all the other properties they manage. The location is amazing, the beach is one block away and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. The only issue we encountered was the AC unit that didn’t work at night, but we survived! The rooms are very spacious and well equipped for a weekend vacation. We can’t wait to be back in June!!

    The room, hotel territory, and distance to the beach were all great — we really liked everything overall. The only downside was the noise in the mornings. If you’re planning to sleep past 8 AM, forget about it. Starting around 8–9 every morning, there were extremely loud noises above our room — it sounded like ремонт or air conditioner replacements every single day. Because of that, we didn’t get enough sleep during our stay.

    Parking was easy and convenient. It's $10 per night. Rooms were clean and spacious. We had a few maintenance issues with door hadles, the pool cushions were quite dirty, and the poll needed to be skimmed. Staff was pleasant at times then abrupt and rude for what seemed like no reason - not deal breakers. Excellent location. Everything we needed was a quick walk away.

    Location that’s it. We were lied to multiple times as to why we couldn’t have the hotel that we pre paid for next door which was the north beach hotel which is where we always stay when we go to the Miami F1 GP race each year. They made us stay at aqua with no discount in price or comparable amenities and the audacity to say Aqua was better, it isn’t. Which was the third lie they told us. Also they have the worst bathrooms, and the worst beds I have ever seen, or used. Horrible stay at Aqua. I would love to stay at North beach again but they would probably lie again and force us to stay at Aqua. By the way they didn’t tell us any of that until I was already mid flight to the hotel. Mid flight! I will never pre pay for a hotel again . Stay at the Conrad it’s much better.

    i asked for an extended stay 12 ~12:30 for a business meeting. At exactly noon the key access to the room was cut off with my bags still in. The staffer was very curt and rude stating I overstayed by 2 min. I also thought I was getting a bigger room with an actual kitchen table. Instead we got a very tiny room.

Music is playing in the courtyards, tons of seating areas to sit and chill. We loved sitting out front and watching the valet parking across the street at the four seasons at night. Good people watching. Food to avoid-sun surf sand, coconuts, food to ENJOY village cafe, Casablanca. Uber eats Gai chicken yum, pho 75 yum.

    Staff was nice, amenities were terrible (there are none), room was so run down, smelled bad, felt so old, water in then toilet, sink, and shower was discolored and the shower didn’t drain, pooled up. I went and bought flip flops to walk around the room and shower in. Couch had stains on it, Roku TV didn’t work. Did not feel clean at all. The only saving grace was the bed. Comfortable and felt clean. I do not recommend. The only reason I stayed was because I was here for work so I was barely in the room but I just feel like people show know before they book

    We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite (sleeps 6), room was spacious and AC worked properly. TVs were tiny and required internet to use which did not work for us. We were only there for 2 nights and not having internet was not the biggest issue but it could have been if were there for longer. They did not fix the issue but gave us late check out instead. Overall it’s a good location for the price we paid. There are not a lot of affordable restaurants around since it is located next to 5-4 stars hotels. Short walk to the beach and they have pools, which was nice. Wish they had beach chairs and umbrellas to borrow or rent.

    We stayed for one night on our way to the Keys. This hotel is perfectly located just steps from the beach with many great restaurants, quite price as they are located in high class hotels. The bed on our room was very comfortable. There's a small fridge, coffee maker and a microwave - everything you need for a comfortable stay plus parking. We will be back.

    Location is unbeatable—just one block away from the beach! It was so convenient to walk over in just a couple of minutes and enjoy the ocean. The accommodations are not only beautiful but also very well organized, with thoughtful details that make a big difference. What impressed me most is how affordable the place is, considering the high quality of service and the proximity to the beach. It’s a great value for money, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a clean, welcoming, and beach-accessible place to stay! 🌊🌴

    This is an older property that's been given a facelift. It's priced accordingly for the area. The staff is extremely courteous and the location is excellent. It's a block off the beach. The room felt very damp the entire 3 days we were there, but other than that I don't have any particular complaints. The beds were very comfortable and it's extremely quiet and the parking is convenient.

    Very friendly and helpful staffs, and convenient location for the beach. Room is comfortable and clean. Having a kitchen is nice for our family with longer stays. The only downside is limited parking spaces, especially for holidays. Luckily they share parking with several other hotels. Sometimes you need to drive around and looking for parking a few blocks away.

    The entire property is so cute and well cared for! Our room was on the 1st floor and our front door opened up right to the patio with 1 of the 2 pools on the property! The rooms have a “retro-modern” decor and the beds are very comfy! The staff is the most friendly hotel staff I’ve ever encountered! We were greeted and cared for by Maggie! She is so friendly and helpful and made it feel like we were visiting our favorite aunt! I had a delivery to the hotel, she was attentive and was genuine when she said to reach out to her if we needed anything! I was able to text her when our a/c in the main room wasn’t working. She responded immediately and the a/c was replaced within the hour! The location is a huge plus!! It’s only a 1/2 block from Ft Lauderdale Beach Ave and the beach! The hotel has a freshwater and a saltwater pool and the pools have plenty of sun! We were visiting Ft. Lauderdale for our child’s annual sport event and we will definitely be staying at the Aqua Hotel every year from now on!
