Real reviews from guests
"We just had a lovely weekend stay at the Aquarium. The room was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast basket was a nice touch. Scott was really helpful and informative. Great location with the beach literally a minute away and central. Would recommend and would stay again. Many thanks!"
