8/10 Very good

Check in was pleasant & quick, Rachel was nice. Location was convenient with shops nearby. Pool is deep & enough for a dip, spa was nice. The only downside was little things in the room like the couch smelt like mims & a rip in the curtain. Otherwise size and other facilities like fridge, stove, microwave was bliss.

10/10 Exceptional

I liked that there was sky, an ac, a pool and a spa, nice shower, and blinds. Was nice and clean. The bed was a little firm, the curtains were long sitting on the ground easily can be stood on and there was a rip in the curtain unsure if that was reported yet. When we arrived after my arrival time my room wasnt ready yet. Only 1 chair with the dinning table. Not sure if the price i paid for this room was worth it.

Great visit to Tauranga!

The staff was super friendly and helpful with all my requests. Our room was tidy, well stocked, and quiet. We did have a few issues that we reported, but the staff were keen to deal with them ASAP. We had a room right in the corner so it was a little dark/hard to air out but it was still a really good room! I loved the space in the shower.

Unpleasant stay

The property looks old and many spiders found at ceiling. We got locked outside the room with room and cellphone left inside the room. The reception was closed with notice stating to be back shortly but was not appear eventually until we got help by another roommate to unlock our room l.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff were helpful, unfortunately the room was on the lower floor behind the stairs and a cupboard with a wall behind it which meant the room was very dark and quite noisy. The room was clean and appeared to have had the carpet washed recently as there was a chemical smell in the room. The location was perfect to access Blake park.
Sarah, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

No hot water!!!!

In general the room was OK, it was clean and comfy. However, there was no hot water so I was unable to take a shower etc. When I went to reception to discuss the matter there was nobody available so I was unable to remedy the situation, there was also no one available at point of checkout so I was unable to have the conversation then. I will not be staying at the Aquarius again.

6/10 Good

Reception not open in the mornings for check out. Unit very tired. No side tables by bed (although they did put one in the second night without us asking). Having to ask to get the TV fixed as it didn't work and no hair dryer in the unit as advertised. Sounds like they had just re-opened recently. They were very apologetic for the inconveniences and did give us a bottle of wine for our troubles. Price didn't reflect what was expected.j
