    would love to stay here again

    The bed was super comfy, which helped me sleep really well. I loved the in-room amenities like the mini-fridge and microwave for late-night snacks. The indoor heated pool was a nice touch, offering a relaxing space whatever the weather. Staff were genuinely nice and really made sure I was taken care of.

    heated pool
    garden area
    high chlorine

    Had a fantastic time at this place! I loved chilling in the heated pool and relaxing in the garden area after a long day. Just a heads up, the chlorine level in the pool is pretty high, so it might be best to skip it if you have sensitive skin. 🌊

    The Aqua Pacific Hotel had a lovely, welcoming atmosphere, with clean and spacious rooms. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach, making it easy for seniors to enjoy the area comfortably.

    Bathroom accessibility could be improved for seniors.

    nice staff
    accessible location

    The staff was nice, and the location offered easy access to attractions. I appreciated having a fridge and a coffee machine in the room during my stay. It was comforting to have those options available, especially on road trips, as I like to enjoy snacks and coffee without leaving the room.

    tasty tacos
    sweet chocolate
    kind staff

    Aqua Pacific is just around the corner from some killer eats! We hit up Taqueria Vallarta for the tastiest tacos and then indulged our sweet tooth at Mutari Chocolate. Also, the staff were super kind, and the place is only a quick stroll to the boardwalk.

    comfortable bed
    friendly staff
    leaking shower
    high noise level
    lack of amenities

    The comfortable bed and friendly, helpful staff made the stay enjoyable, and the location was ideal, just a short walk to local attractions. However, the shower leaked, leading to a frustrating experience, and the noise level was quite high during the holiday. The room also lacked some basic amenities, which detracted from the overall experience.

    Unexpected Charm Amidst Grit!

    I enjoyed staying in a cozy, vintage room. The owner was friendly, offering tips on local attractions. The evening stroll along the beach was a highlight! Remember to grab your own breakfast supplies. the coffee setup is DIY. Great for budget-conscious travelers!

    responsive heater
    clean lighting
    stained carpet

    Nice place but needs some repairs

    I was hoping for a chill getaway, but my room was missing a coffee pot and phone, which was kinda disappointing. They didn’t even have continental breakfast like the site said. turns out that's not until April. The room looked like it had some work done, but it needed more, like fixing stained carpets and lightbulbs. At least the staff were nice.
