Had a great day at the aqua Pacific hotel! Great price and was way more than we expected for the price! The room was clean and comfortable. The pool and hot tub were a great addition to our long day at the beach. The staff is so friendly and helpful and the location is perfect- easy to get to the beach or the shops in town!

Amazingly comfy bed! Great location for being close to water. The room was clean but the sink did have a weird odour but nothing horrendous, it was just noticed when washing our faces. And the shower leaked everywhere while you used it.
