Aquarius Beach Tower

Overall, it is reasonable place to stay... you can cook your own food, it is spacious, although spartan. I noticed lightbulbs not working; it took 4 days for them to be replaced. I cleaned the grime off the microwave and washed the food closet shelves myself, and wiped dirt off the walls. That said, when I pointed out that the bathroom floor needed cleaning, the housekeeper enthusiastically cleaned it. (The problem is less the staff than their supervision, I suspect. All the staff we encountered were pleasant and helpful.) Downside was that the Beach had lots of trash. Locals have little sense of picking up after themselves. The hotel staff volunteer to clean up trash on the beach once a week, but the management could hire someone for $5 a day, once each day to do it. Not too much to ask given the rates one pays. Other than that, it was fine.

This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in anywhere in the world. It was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The staff were exceptionally helpfull and friendly. The room even included a washer and dryer. The hotel is located near a nice beach on Saipan and near downdown Garapan. We would have loved to have stayed longer and have advised our friends in Guam to stay there when they go to Saipan soon.

We enjoyed our stay however felt a little out of the way, would recommend a car if staying here. Supermarket across the road was great. A pool would have been nice in the shade as the beach only swimmable when tide was up, which happened to be during the hottest time of day. We were charged $25 for a towel with minor Hair Dye discharge damage upon our checkout so left with a negative vibe. The kitchen was a great size, however limited cutlery crockery and utensils available to cook anything... we had to purchase our own. Apart from that the staff were lovely, and we felt welcomed

The room was small. Very little in the neighborhood. No hot or warm water for a shower in the morning. Room design required closing three doors off the bedroom to have the enclosed feel that I prefer,leading me to become confused when seeking the bathroom in the middle of the night. TV inconveniently in the living room and not in the bedroom.

Hotel is old but the room we had was recently renovated. Very clean and new. The stay was very comformtable. Facility was also very nice (microwave, refrig, washer, dryer, etc). Service of the staff was also very friendly. Minor problems were ants in the room; a/c too loud (compressor on the balcony is next to the master bed room; curtains too thin - sunrise at 5:00am makes sleeping late difficult. The beach was absolutely beautiful and perfect for family with small children. Walking out 50 meter into the water and it's less than knee-deep. Gorgeous fine white sand with no rocks or reefs. Perfect for small children. Hotel location is ok as long as you have a car. Next door to KFC/Taco Bell and super market. Other places will require driving.

excellent hotel, well situated and good value for the price

The room was amazing. The staff was very helpful. There aren't a whole lot of food options around the area, so if you don't rent a car in Saipan you may be eating at KFC or Taco Bell for your stay because those are the closest restaurants in walking distance. However, if you plan to cook in your suite, which has a kitchen, then there is a grocery store right across the street. The hotel was right next to the beach which was great, and the beach was pretty empty the whole time we were there except for a birthday party going on. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are planning on renting a car. Located 10 minutes from the airport and 30 minutes from Suicide Cliff (north side of the island).

Just polish up those "loose ends" and it will be a very nice place to stay...
