Malvika France

This hotel is absolutely amazing. The hospitality the staff and especially the owner of the place have towards their guests is something quite unique. Our flight would leave at 6 am and we didnt book for that night and because everything was closed the owner of the place let us stay the night FOR FREE ! apart from that the rooms are so clean and cosy, the bathroom is very big and modern and the location is perfect just 1 minute from the port. We had an amazing stay thank you Aqua Ria :)

Hamdy Egypt

Excellent location right by the waterfront. Incredibly spacious modern bathroom! Spacious restaurant open late; huge wine list!! generous breakfast at minimal cost, they wisely recommended eating outside on the plaza where birds sang and whirled by past the church and the beginnings of a band’s performance on the landing could be heard.
