“New home in Ft Lauderdale”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

people found this review helpful

After more than 20 stays at a nearby big brand high rise hotel over the last 3 years, I decided to get down to earth and give the newly reopened Aqua a try. What a treat. There's no elevator, no valet parking, an no pricey room service. What there is, is a friendly happy staff that really seems to want you to be happy too, and a bright and airy beach house feel, complete with bikes to peddle around the neighborhood. Im hooked. I have always liked Fort Lauderdale Beach, but the Aqua takes that to the next level. I hope to be a regular.

Room Tip: Try to get one of the rooms with a private balcony. Great little perch to watch the world go by. Al...

What a wonderful property, I have a history with the place when it was Angelas Beach Resort and I have to say what an incredible difference it is now. What a teriffic job the new owners have done. You deserve a real congradulations on this one...I visited the new AQUA HOTEL in Fort Lauderdale last week and was greatly impressed with everything about it. The property is well manicared, spotless and very upscale. The location is only a block from the beautiful Fort Lauderdale beach. The rooms are comfortable and classy. I love the aqua accents in the rooms, it just completes the package. The staff is attentive, friendly, knowledegable and always helpful.

Room Tip: When planning a vacation check with the manager as she will give you the best accommodations availab...

“Brand new unique & modern ipad, bikes, & huge gas bbq grills best of all the hotel has European touches as we use to back home, ”

Was our 2nd stay here me & wife usually go down to Ft Lauderdale on beach for buisness meetings. We have staid at some of the larger resorts but felt something was missing. We drive to the Aqua Hotel to give it a try after seeing the good reviews on it from here. From the time we arrived to the time we left our stay was beyond what we experinced at other hotels in the area. Such extras they had bikes, iPads, & gas bbq grills we could use. Was quickly realized that it was like "home away from home" wife always teases me I can't ever not think about food as when we are home I BBQ 4-5 times a week we have stayed at a lot of 4 and 5 star hotels in the area no one had the extra services and these staff Maggie the manager there and Lucie her assistant are such wonderferful girls always going out of their way. I thank you all for such wonderful stays thus far. We recommend this hotel & one thing that me & the wife liked is that Lucie took the time to show us the different rooms that were available & the extra amenities and were so happy the hotel is completely brand new with the European furniture we are used to since we are both from Europe. Very clean & bed was comfortble. We rented the penthouse on this stay, very affordable in the prices & nice. We hopefully be back in 2 months if our buisness slows down to enjoy summer. Thanks to all- Victor & Kveta Van-Hausser

“Best place on the Fort Lauderdale beach”

person found this review helpful

This new, European modern style hotel is the best place to stay if you are looking for a really nice comfortable place where you can feel home and have perfect relaxing vacation at the same time. Everything about it is just perfect: the location is just across the street from the ocean; all necessary shopping centers are near; the rooms are shiny-clean and the interior design is done in the way that it creates the best resting and relaxing atmosphere of comfort and happiness; room service is superb - cleaning service is performed every day, they give nice white bathrobes daily, you get what you need right away and I agree that it is 5-star standard; the personnel is very friendly and cheerful; there are rooms provided with kitchen, so one feels absolutely home. Loved this place and would absolutely recommend it to all of my friends. It is perfect for the business trips, for the romantic vacation, and for the family vacation. If you came across this hotel in your internet search, do not look for anything else, you found what you need!

in_vl,
To say that the Aqua Hotel is the best place on Ft. Lauderdale Beach is one of the best compliments we could ask for. Thank you so much! You're right, Aqua can accommodate any type of guest. Guests can rent one of our beach cruisers and explore the area or just grab one of our iPads and relax by the pool. With it's modern amenities, great location and exemplary staff, the newest addition to the North Beach Village collection won't let you down!

“Nice family ambiance”

New, very clean, modern, fresh, welcoming.
Spent the week with my 3- and 1-yr old daughters, they loved it! I was able to cook and spend the morning by the pool.
The place is quiet, one block from the beach.
The staff was extremely helpful, and friendly. They provided whatever missing things to make this vacation one of the best vacations we spent as a family on the beach...

One little issue was that the Internet connection was not very good, get your 3G along
