Dirty outdated hotel. Never again

​We recently returned from a holiday at the Aqua Marina Hotel and Spa and had a great time. The hotel makes a fantastic first impression—the lobby area is spotlessly clean, and the pool area is well-maintained with great sunbeds that were perfect for relaxing. ​The standout part of our stay was definitely the team. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. We’d like to give a special mention to Robert, the hotel manager, who was wonderful. A big thank you also goes to the bar manager (the gentleman with long hair in a ponytail and a dark blue shirt) and to Dani, the bar waiter, who was absolutely amazing and so funny. The food was consistently tasty, and we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience throughout the week. ​There were just a few areas that kept this from being a perfect stay. We found the rooms to be quite sweaty and muggy, even with the air conditioning on, which unfortunately wasn't very effective. The beds were also quite hard for our liking. We were initially placed in a room with two double beds before being moved to a quad room; while we appreciated the move, the view from the new room wasn't great. It was also quite dark. Additionally, it would have been a nice touch if at least one drink was included with dinner rather than having to pay for everything separately. ​We also struggled with the power points in the room—the plug situation is quite ridiculous. There were only two sockets, and they were located by the TV away from the beds, which made charging phones overnight very inconvenient. They were also nowhere near a mirror, making it difficult to get ready. There was one plug in the bathroom, which was fine for hair straighteners, but otherwise, the room could really do with more accessible power points. ​Overall, we enjoyed our time here, largely thanks to the brilliant staff. Thank you for a lovely trip!
