“best trade off between good taste and quiet enviroment, few meters from the beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

I saw this little hotel here in trip advisor, the overall rating was excelent, but I already visit it, and I can say: totally true ¡, amazing service, the promess of a good place to stay in Fort Lauderdale, in the middle of the beach side (1 block from the beach), few blocks from Sunrise Boulevard, few block from the best restaurants in las Olas blvd., free parking, big rooms decorated with the best taste I had ever seen in florida, charming personel in the lobby, really good service and good disposition to solve your problems, posibility to obtain a reasoble late check out (usd 25). I did not taste the spa services, but sure they provide a good service too in this matter. With my wife, sure we will return to this charming and comfortable hotel the next time we visit florida.

Room Tip: Better rooms were in the second floor, to the east side, some of them includes a good size balcony.

“Fantastic hotel in a great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012 via mobile

We stayed here because of the great reviews on Trip Advisor and we were not disappointed. Spacious, clean, nicely decorated rooms. The most friendly and helpful staff we have ever experienced. We stayed with our 1-year old daughter in a one bedroom suite and the extra space and self catering facilities were really helpful. Good location, just a one block to the beach, a short walk to bars/restaurants and a 5 minute drive to the mall. All the little extras really made things perfect - the loan of beach chairs, well equipped kitchen, discount at Plaza Bistro (restaurant owned by the same grip, just up the road, well worth a visit) etc. Our only complaint was the pools were not heated so were a little chilly but I'm sure that would be welcome on a hot Florida day! Would highly recommend this hotel.

“Fun in the sun... I mean Hurricane!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

Found the Aqua Hotel just off A1A within view of the ocean. A great "Retro" South Florida hotel that almost reminded me of a place I stayed in in Greece. Rooms are nice and very clean. LCDs, WiFi, everything you need... even some Coronas! Very small but quiet. Our host was the fun loving and always smiling Maggie. We had a great stay and will be back! Thanks again.

“Wow! Best on Beach!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

The Aqua Hotel and staff is a rare and wonderful find. Newly renovated in the spring of 2012, The Aqua Hotel revives the glory art deco days of sun and surf Fort Lauderdale style with a refreshingly modern facelift. Just steps (1 block) from the beach made famous in the 1960 classic film, Where the Boys Are, The Aqua offers easy access to the beach, shopping, entertainment and outstanding restaurants Fort Lauderdale has to offer.

My family and I were treated by the property managers, Maggie, Lucy, Christine and rest of the staff like long lost friends welcoming us in with open arms, warm smiles and a nice glass of wine.

The private tour of the property by Maggie left us stunned at the beauty and attention to every single detail lovingly crafted into this remarkably soothing environment. The full kitchen including flatware, plates and glasses was a very pleasant surprise.

Ditch the Ritz and go first class with The Aqua Hotel, just one of the amazing properties owned by the North Beach Village Community.

Room Tip: We stayed in the deluxe double queen suite in room 1203. Fantastic room with a kitchen!
