My stay at Acuarium Suites Hotel was a mixed bag. The grounds and pool area were well-maintained, and the restaurant food was quite tasty. However, I had a terrible experience with security issues, and the rooms could definitely use some upgrading. Overall, the value for money was not ideal given the significant downsides.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location offered a nice blend of tranquility and access to tourist areas, which was great for exploring the city. The rooms were spacious, although a bit dated and in need of upkeep. The service was accommodating, particularly from Betty, who provided us with helpful information. However, the dining options could benefit from more variety and the noise level at night was a bit disruptive. Still, it represented a decent value for the price.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is great for accessing popular tourist sites and the beaches, but the noise level, especially from the pool area and loud guests, made it hard to relax. The staff is wonderful and the facilities are pleasant, but the rooms need better upkeep and the Wi-Fi was unreliable at times.

Rooms

The rooms were nice and clean, but needed some upgrades; the Wi-Fi connection was spotty. The air conditioning was only in the bedroom, and the TV was placed only in the living area, which wasn't ideal.

The Acuarium offers decent accommodations at a reasonable price. I appreciated the spaciousness of the apartment-style rooms, which had good facilities like a kitchen, and friendly service from the staff. However, the location isn't great and the daytime noise from the road can be quite disruptive. It's fine for a budget stay, but think twice if you want peace and quiet during the day.

Rooms

My room was spacious with a kitchen, but it felt a bit outdated and only had air conditioning in the bedroom. The living area had a ceiling fan, but it wasn't very comfortable if you wanted to watch TV there.

This hotel offers a cozy retreat with spacious rooms and a charming ambiance. The staff is genuinely welcoming, providing a comforting atmosphere.
