Had a great day at the aqua Pacific hotel! Great price and was way more than we expected for the price! The room was clean and comfortable. The pool and hot tub were a great addition to our long day at the beach. The staff is so friendly and helpful and the location is perfect- easy to get to the beach or the shops in town!

My family stayed one night. It was good the showers are spacious, the hot tub was amazing, the pool area is set up cute with other outdoor fun. The one thing i was concerned about was parking and the tiles in the lobby and to and from the rooms getting wet from the pool, they were very slippery.

Definitely not worth $380+ per night for this motel. The room is small and outdated. It is very noisy even thought there is an after 10pm quiet time. The noise comes from the homes immediately next to the motel. People crank up the music and the motel building actually vibrates. I would not come back again
