Aqua Blu Boutique Hotel & Spa

We’ve just returned from a wonderful week at this hotel, and would recommend it to anyone. The whole staff and management were faultless, as well as the facilities and food

What an absolutely wonderful boutique hotel Aqua Blu is! It was relaxing the minute we stepped in and were greeted by a welcome drink. The rooms are so comfy - ours with a pool was just stunning, and the staff are all just so warm and welcoming. Drinks, food, coffees, the beach....everything has been just perfect. There is a while world out there to visit but we'd be silly not to return here. Many many thanks, Aqua Blu!

This hotel is beautiful, so well appointed. My stay was faultless and I cannot thank the amazing staff who really go out of their way to ensure you have the most wonderful time.

What a gorgeous GEM of a place. We came here as a family (myself, my sister and my parents) for our annual relax, and there was no better place to be waited on hand and foot! This hotel is gorgeous - small, intimate and quality. From the delicious food to the amazing service, this hotel is worth every penny if you want a relaxing and laid back holiday. Even my mum (the queen of 5* holidays and eternal pessimistic) said that she would come back - RESULT! I think we just unlocked our new favourite place for our annual trip…

I wanted to rate Aqua Blu 4.5/5 but went with the full rating as there were a few nice unexpected touches. I booked the airport transfer service which, for sheer ease on a small island with limited transport, was definitely worth it. Arriving late in the evening, tired from travel, the team were very welcoming and offered a glass of Prosecco whilst registration was done for you. Not being able to drink sparkling wine, a fresh lemonade was made for me which was quite refreshing. I was also told that due to my late arrival, a ‘snack’ was left for me in my room. The snack was two delicious wraps which I put in the fridge to eat at a later time. Breakfast was a choice of a la carte or buffet. Fresh orange juice and water was served. Food was delicious but service was a bit inconsistent. At least once was my table cleared when I went inside to get some fruit. It also took an age to get a coffee most mornings, often arriving mid-way through eating an item ordered off the menu! I booked a direct sea view room and the view was delightful. There isn’t a door to the bathroom (there is to the toilet) which I personally didn’t like. There also isn’t a lock on the inside of the door which, as a solo traveller I look for, purely for personal security reasons. The room however had all the facilities you would want for a relaxing stay; a Nespresso machine, kettle, safe, robes etc. There were no facilities for recycling anywhere in the hotel, not in the room or around the property. The bins in the room were lined with plastic bags and replaced twice daily. This is an area where improvements definitely could be made. I was actually quite shocked as I’ve not seen a hotel in recent years that doesn’t have recycling facilities across the site. I mixed up my time between the loungers by the pool and the beach. You needed to carefully select the pool loungers if you want all day sun and not hear noise from the (not overly busy) road. The beach loungers are away from the road and are much more relaxing. Violetta who offers a service to beach guests was super friendly & attentive. All in all, Aqua Blu delivered what I wanted for a relaxing break but there are areas that could do with improvement to make me return.
