I came across this one by accident the manager offered the room at the same price and although breakfast was at 8.30 she arranged it for 8 so I could have... More

Thoroughly recommend this hotel - I was upgraded from a single room to a double room with a balcony with no extra charge and I felt really welcomed, which always makes so much difference when you're travelling on your own.

Having been here for an evening drink and entertainment with my mother last year, we decided to pop in for an impromptu cream tea whilst visiting the Island this week. Well we returned twice again! Massive scones freshly baked with a good quality pot of tea was enjoyed by all. Lovely clean smelling reception area and a very warm welcome... More

We visited the island last week on a 5 day break. Everything from the welcome to the service and the presentation was 5***** We visited a few other local restaurants in the area but none were near the standard provided by the Aqua. Well done keep it up we'll be back!!!

We have recently returned from yet another wonderful stay at the Aqua Hotel. We have been visiting this hotel for many years now and although we travel quite a lot both in England and abroad not many of the hotels we have stayed in reach the standard of this beautifully maintained and beautifully located sea front hotel. We always make... More

My husband and I ( no - I'm not the Queen!) have recently celebrated our wedding anniversary on the island and chose the Aqua from the internet. So we were very pleasantly surprised to see that in real life it is much nicer! It is in such a good position being so close to the sea and the esplanade is... More
