This is our 2nd time staying at the Aqua Hotel and it was an absolute pleasure! The staff is so nice, the rooms are big and comfortable and close to everything! We walked down to the Village Cafe every morning for delicious coffee at a great price! Honestly the best place for families in Fort Lauderdale hands down!

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.

Maggie, the manager was extremely friendly and helpful. The family suite we had at the Aqua Hotel was very spacious and clean. Short walk to the beach and close to restaurants. Perfect location…would definitely recommend and stay there again!

Awesome hotel! Is affiliated with multiple hotels where you can use the pools, restaurants as well as a market for basic essentials, a bakery, a smoothie store, gym and a few laundry uses. Going back with extended family next year. Reasonably priced.

This was our 4th time in Fort Lauderdale and the Aqua Hotel will be the ONLY hotel we will stay at going forward! The rooms are huge! We had a 1 bedroom suite with 2 double beds; we had the privacy of our own room and our teens had their own bed so they weren’t fighting, at least not about sharing a bed! 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!

Room - spacious and comfortable beddings. Bathroom very narrow. Could use additional furnishings for clothing as there was only one medium 4 drawer dresser for family of 4. Kitchen was serviceable; fridge good sized, 2 burner electric stove, microwave and toaster. No dishwasher. Service/Maintenance - very customer oriented and personable. in the short stay had a window that needed repair as it wouldn't close, a safe replaced as it would not close or lock and a burner replacement as one of the two did not work. Location - great location and surroundings. Everything walkable and beach a minute walk, one block, away. Pool (2) - clean and pool furnishings were nice.

We stayed with our family. The property itself is a 10 minute walking distance from the ocean! Its a perfect location for enjoying the beach. We traveled with an infant, and needed a crib. We were provided a pack and play..however it was extremely dirty. The white portion of it was yellowed and stained. The room itself was roomy, and clean. There was beautiful seating outside, with chandeliers and comfortable chairs. The texting service was convinient. Overall, we would recommend.

This property has a potential to be good but unfortunately the towel supply seems to be an issue. We were in a family room the reservation clearly stated 4 people we only had 2 big towels when we tried to get more towels the personnel said they didn’t have any more towels . So are we supposed to bring our own towels ? Or share the two they provided?
