Fantastic, comfortable and quiet and walking distance to food options and the beach. I don’t recommend paying for their continental breakfast thought because it’s not actually at the hotel they give you a voucher and it’s at a cafe down the road on the corner but the meal size is so small it won’t fill you up so it’s not worth it they give you 2 small pieces of toast a small bowl of fruit and tea/coffee it’s kid size so I recommend to go to the sports bar restaurant across the road from the hotel their food is amazing and excellent portion sizes and cheap!

Excellent, very quiet and comfortable and clean. Short walk to the beach about 3-5min walk, really good food options in walking distance, the breakfast option they have at the hotel is actually a continental breakfast at a small cafe near the beach they just give you vouchers to take there for it, I tried it and I actually recommend to have breakfast at the sports bar across the road from the hotel instead as better food options bigger portions and value for money, the continental breakfast option that the cafe has is very small portion you will still be hungry but if you go to the sports bar it’s cheap and a lot of food for the money. Will definitely be back again.

We stayed one night as leaving for Gilli T from the nearby harbour in the morning. The property was lovely. The room extremely large. A little tired inside, however, cool air con and comfortable bed. Pool area nice. Walkable to excellent dining options and one small block to the beach, which is very swimable at high tide.

Stayed at the wonderful Aquarius Hotel Christmas and new year 2020. First and foremost, each and every member of staff here are amazing, incredibly friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for Any of them. Our room, number 12, was on the ground floor and very convenient. Cleaned every day, fresh towels if needed, tea and coffee making facilities. Fridge, free WiFi, good air conditioning. Good size swimming pool with plenty of sunbeds. We didn’t have breakfast included in our prices we booked with Expedia but, like most things is Bali, very good value wherever you eat. As mentioned on previous posts the hotel suggests using Luthu’s on the beach and although very good, there are numerous others to try.
The beach is an easy 5 minutes wander from the hotel. If you would like to avoid the corner of local shops just on the beach after a few days (as they will ask EVERY single day if you want to “come look in my shop”) which is fine if you don’t mind, but you can cut off the corner and walk through the hotel on to the beach if you prefer.
Many places on the beach to rent sun beds and umbrellas, we chose Memories Bar/restaurant most days. They had comfy beds and were free as long as you purchased food or drink from them during your stay, staff very friendly and helpful. Lunch menu good. Happy hour too.
My husband went scuba diving on 3 days of our holiday and I felt happy and relaxed by myself without being hassled for trips, jet skis etc. All in all excellet

Would have rated this property much higher but the towels were disgusting grey rags. All guests were unhappy with being expected to use them. Staff members were lovely but it appears they have never been taught to clean rooms correctly. They spend the time in each room but the floors are never clean. This place has so much potential. Good “bones” and great position. Would return and pay more if it had a good deep clean and new towels

Peaceful Oasis

The Aquarius is a small two story, 16 room hotel set in pretty gardens. There is no restaurant but breakfast Vouchers (where applicable) are available for Luthu's coffee shop on the beach. Warung Sports opposite do lovely meals and will deliver to the hotel. The rooms are sizeable with extra large beds and firm mattresses. The bathrooms are good size and have toiletries provided. There was a problem with the water in our shower, the water dropped off to a trickle, which did not happen during our previous stay. We did report it and the repair person was very prompt to attend but the problem remained. The room was cleaned every day but the tiles in shower are stained. The air conditioning is excellent. The pool is clean, deep, cool but the bottom is very slippery. There was a problem with the wifi dropping out. It was under repair. The staff are very polite and extremely helpful and we enjoyed our stay at the Aquarius.

Great hotel, the staff are amazing, very friendly and helpful. We were very comfortable in our very spacious room. The included breakfast on the beach daily was excellent, and set us up for the day, so much so that we rarely had lunch! A lovely relaxed holiday, and we will come again, thank you Aquarius ❤️❤️❤️

Aquarius Beach Hotel Sanur Bali
I have just got back from 10 days in Bali and stayed at Aquarius Beach Hotel in Sanur. The rooms are huge, plenty of space for clothes and a great walk in shower. There is a flat screen tv, a fridge and tea & coffee making facilities. I was really comfortable there, I think it's fantastic value for money and will definitely be staying at Aquarius again. Highly recommended!

A lovely reasonably priced hotel near the beach in Sanur. The room was comfortable and quiet, the pool clean and and a reasonable size and as they don't have a restaurant you are given vouchers for breakfast at a cafe right on the beach which was great.

Clean hotel with very friendly and helpful staff

We stayed for a week here and it was lovely. Very close to the beach (60m) and a pool on site. The rooms were immaculately clean and there was no mould in the bathroom. There is no restaurant on site but there is a pub literally across the street that will deliver. The staff are simply amazing and were available at short notice for babysitting.

A lovely affordable beach holiday at Sanur

We enjoyed the Aquarius Beach Hotel. It was attractive and comfortable. The rooms were large. It was a 2 minute walk to breakfast and the beach. The staff went out of their way to help us get something shipped home. They had bicycles to rent very cheaply for the day. It was fun riding along the beach. Would highly recommend

Family holiday

The hotel is very well located, just a short 2 min walk to Sindu beach and one of the local markets, my friend Indah shop 36 is there, she sells at a low price so there is no bargaining with her, which I love, the hotel had a great pool with sun lounge chairs at end of pool and above for those that want to sunbathe. In the shade they also have a pool table for the guests to play, there is a kitchen which you can cook in ,if you desire, also a fridge to out your drinks in whilst you are playing pool or swimming, the staff are very friendly, speak pretty good English. Breakfast was included in room price which is at a restaurant on beach, American, Continental or Indonesian, you can also have different if you wish to pay. The rooms are air conditioned plus fans, separate bathroom with big showers (no baths), cupboard and in room safe. The rooms are surrounded with plants etc, making it very pleasant, would recommend hotel and we will definitely stay here again. Short walk to street where you can get taxi or Bemo. I would rate this hotel 9/10.

Good small hotel

WiFi not working and apparently had not been for awhile. Two thin single sheets on the double bed instead of one double was frustrating.
Friendly staff, lovely lush garden, outside area very clean including pool. Big pool, perfect temperature, not too warm.
Room fresh and clean. Liked having outdoor furniture plus towel rack.
Location suited us, close to beach and good bakery/restaurant and shops. Caught taxi to Hardy's Dept store and had easy walk back.

Had our best holiday in a long time at Aquarius. the rooms where big with a huge 4 poster bed, the bathroom was also big with a great sized shower. Everywhere was lovely and clean....the staff where friendly and Mr Coffee is a great driver if you ever need a trip out to see the rest of Bali. The beach is only a 5 min walk away and has plenty of market stalls and restaurants along the way
