"Room was a tiny bit dusty but comfortable and all the staff I met were fantastic, Can't beat the location"

"I was attending a course in the leisure centre next door. The Aqua was an excellent, relaxed place to stay. The staff/owners were polite, friendly and generated a relaxed atmosphere. The small, well stocked bar carried on this relaxing, informal atmosphere. (The squeaky bar stools could do with fixing but were still amusing) The food is top notch and very affordable. The cooked breakfast (Included) is amazing and you can select as little or as much as you want. Lovely coffee as well. Cereal and toast is also available and I enjoyed the relaxed serve yourself arrangement. Helga, was on hand to make sure you had everything you needed and was very friendly and approachable. You can take a walk to the highest point in Portland (490 feet above sea level) to take in breathtaking views and sunsets. (A bus is also available as it's quite a walk!) My room was clean and tidy and all I need in a stay. A comfortable bed and shower. TV reception was very poor, giving only a handful of channels, but this didn't really affect me as I don't go to places to sit in hotel rooms watching TV. The Aqua is a great place to relax and enjoy great food and drink. I liked the informal, laid-back atmosphere as this added to the relaxation. This, plus the attentive, friendly staff, made my stay very enjoyable. I would certainly stay at The Aqua again. "

"Bed was not comfy as we had backache after second night , we turned mattress round was ok that night but the after that . The step into the shower was too high and we had to buy a step to get in it and also the floor surface was very slippy . Was ck an and tidy and overall not a bad place to stay and would recommend and return at some point "

"Nice size property. Missing the more luxury/comfort items. Garden furniture ok not as images. Has a comfy dining table. Balcony furniture present but not suitable for the area. High stools and table not appropriate needs more relaxing items to make area useful otherwise it was good for drying clothes. Area is central and easy for amenities, cafes, beach, shops etc all easy to walk to. Noisy as near heliport and some days this is busy from early morning till after 10 at night. Not overly intrusive. As mentioned in other reviews cleanliness relies on previous tennants cleaning. The finer elements dont get done. Fridge wiped out but crumbs etc in drawers. Bits of rubbish on bedroom units from previous tennants. Bits left in drawers, kitchen cupboard fronts not wiped down etc. Dart board, putting area on lawn and other toys, games, books and dvds nice touch. Fire sticks on tvs a nice touch but info on using these would have been helpful. Sonos sound system is a pain to use. Cheap blue tooth speakers would be better. Carpet loose on top steps was a bit of a hazard, hopefully this will have been easily resolved. Back gate latch seized up so doesnt open if it closes and could easily lock self out. Only 1 key for 8 people is a pain especially as keysafe not easy to get to for daily use. An area in garden fo bbq in garden would be nice. Even just a stand disposable bbqs. Overall an enjoyable experience. Would go again if the price was right. Issues were niggles rather than prob"
