We had a wonderful stay. The rooms were large and everything was very clean. The grounds were so cute. A very short walk to the water was a bonus.

Made people wear wrist bands and had a no guest policy in rooms. Never have been told by hotel staff who I was or was not allowed to have in my room. They did not disclose this information before running my card. Anyone who entered on the premises was supposed to give their ID to the front desk and sign a waiver.

Nicholas is awesome! He showed us to our rooms and gave us insight to restaurant options nearby. This is the second time he has been outstanding. We love staying in the North Beach Collection. Each hotel has its own unique character.

This is a wonderful hotel in the BEST location in Fort Lauderdale Beach. It's only one block away from the beach, but it's so quiet and peaceful compared to the beach front hotels. It's got a beautiful, relaxing courtyard in between two pools. The staff is super nice and helpful. I've already made my reservation to return for a week in November.

This is a small boutique hotel . The area is wonderful as the beach is a block away and many dining options. I would have liked a cleaner room and tv stream that did not go down every few minutes . No regular cable to watch live shows

This is a hidden gem. On a side street just a block from the beach. It's a little oasis all on its own. A cute courtyard area, two swimming pools (small) and spotless facilities. Way above expectations.

Maggie helped us check in and was super friendly. Rooms were great, but had a bug or two inside that we had to kill. Really close to beach and beach towels provided compliments of the hotel. Had to pay for parking ($10)

The location was good but the parking was difficult. Check in was not easy as there was no one at the desk. You had to ring and then it took 10 minutes for someone to come as there is no one on site. Nice seating area in hotel and great restaurants close by. All in all a good location but not great amenities/experience.

Absolutely wonderful!! Will absolutely return!
This was our 4th time in Fort Lauderdale and the Aqua Hotel will be the ONLY hotel we will stay at going forward! The rooms are huge! We had a 1 bedroom suite with 2 double beds; we had the privacy of our own room and our teens had their own bed so they weren’t fighting, at least not about sharing a bed! The entire property is so cute and well cared for! Our room was on the 1st floor and our front door opened up right to the patio with 1 of the 2 pools on the property! The rooms have a “retro-modern” decor and the beds are very comfy! The staff is the most friendly hotel staff I’ve ever encountered! We were greeted and cared for by Maggie! She is so friendly and helpful and made it feel like we were visiting our favorite aunt! I had a delivery to the hotel, she was attentive and was genuine when she said to reach out to her if we needed anything! I was able to text her when our a/c in the main room wasn’t working. She responded immediately and the a/c was replaced within the hour! The location is a huge plus!! It’s only a 1/2 block from Ft Lauderdale Beach Ave and the beach! The hotel has a freshwater and a saltwater pool and the pools have plenty of sun! We were visiting Ft. Lauderdale for our child’s annual sport event and we will definitely be staying at the Aqua Hotel every year from now on!

The property is conveniently located in a quiet area within a short walk from the Ft. Lauderdale beach and promenade. There is no restaurant but there are several dining options nearby, Village Cafe is next door and we enjoyed a dinner and a breakfast there. The room was spacious and clean, it felt a bit dated but everything worked fine. Staff was exceedingly helpful, they saw us approaching the office with several bags, two ladies ran out from the office, took the bags and brought them to our room.
