We had a wonderful stay at Acqualina Resort. The entire property is beautifully maintained, with an exceptional level of cleanliness and attention to detail throughout. The food was consistently excellent, with high-quality ingredients, great presentation and very good service especially from Conrad and Richard but all the staff was amazing. A special mention goes to the beach team, who were absolutely fantastic especially Caleb and Francesco. Always attentive, friendly, professional and ready to help, they really made our time at the beach even more enjoyable. Their level of service reflects exactly what you expect from a resort of this caliber. Acqualina combines beautiful surroundings, excellent food, impeccable cleanliness and genuinely attentive service. A wonderful experience and definitely a place we would be very happy to return to.

    “We are locals and decided to do a staycation to celebrate our wedding anniversary at Aqualina . Wow, was it the right decision!!! Yes, the resort is beautiful , the room was so perfect , the beach was beautiful. But by far, the staff was truly what made our trip so incredible . Everywhere we went people made efforts to welcome us, get to know us and to celebrate our anniversary with us. We felt so pampered and taken care of, in a manner that felt genuine and warm. We were left feeling so grateful and so sorry to leave ….but equally eager to go back as soon as possible . Do not hesitate to stay here; of the local places I have reviewed, this is my new favorite ! Thank you to the staff for all your kindness .”

    “Ruined valentines - missold a ‘champagne package’ arrived and I as told didn’t have the package. Was sat away from any music/entertainment , every time wanted service (drink, food etc) had to go off on search for staff. Ended up walking out. Concierge kept saying would make good but was offered non transferable pool/beach day which is not so useful given live in building on the beach. After having told me would refund for the additional cost of ‘champagne’ package they insisted I hadn’t ordered but charged me for, they did not. Spent 6 months being mostly ignored by Christian the concierge.”

    “We simply love the Acqualina! We have stayed here for so many years, even my grown kids call it home. It is perfection. It is immaculate, constantly being updated, beautiful, incredibly friendly, and the best hotel period. And we have stayed in top hotels and resorts around the world. What makes the Acqualina so special is its staff. Their warmth is real. Special shout outs to Mike at security, Valeria at the couches, Andrez, Kevin, Brandon, and of course Ion! You make this hotel a home. You are why we keep coming back year after year. Thank you once again for making my husband’s birthday weekend so very special.”
