Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.

The hotel is new with generous rooms and modern decor. Everywhere was spotless and good value for money. The staff were friendly and on my wife’s birthday we were unexpectedly given complimentary champagne and cake.
The pool area looked inviting although we never used this space as we headed to the nearby beaches.
Sept is a good time to visit. Hot but not too hot. Bars and restaurants were busy but not too busy. Regardless of where we ate the food was excellent and everyone was friendly.
We were in a newer part of town and a 35 min walk from the old town
Just a couple of small points. The hotel is close to a karaoke bar, although if you are out for a late night or karaoke is your thing this isn’t an issue. Our room was over reception which could sometimes be a little noisy with people coming and going.
Would happily return to this lovely hotel.
4th time we have been to this hotel and absolutely love it. Yes, it is a smaller hotel with a smaller pool area. It has no entertainment at night but it is very close to local restaurants, bars and supermarket. There is also a taxi stop very close to the hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel is clean and kept to a high standard (also thank you for having lactose free milk as well, it's the little things that count)
Genuinely nothing amiss! Great location, quiet despite being close to bars and restaurants, friendly and helpful staff, 5 min walk to Oura beach.
The room is spot on. Extras I wasn’t expecting (robe, slippers, large replaced water bottles, pod coffee machine), clean and pleasant bathroom (with excellent shower), large, fluffy towels, nice smelling toiletries, good lighting. Bed very comfy with an array of pillows, AC worked a dream, love the green policy of missed room service you are happy with that and receive a 5 euro voucher.
Pool area is small, but well maintained and plenty of sunloungers.
Breakfast was fresh, varied, tasty and regularly topped up. Eggs still runny (love this!), prosecco if you fancy, freshly squeezed OJ, fresh pastries etc etc.
A really good price as well. I’ve stayed all over the world in too 5 Star Hotels, but often attention to details can be missed, Aqua Pedra hasn’t. A wonderful stay, I will definitely be back.
Lovely peaceful hotel. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Great pool bar. Pool area is small enough but never an issue with getting sunbeds and your own space. (Terrible background music at pool , sorry !) Everywhere is Spotless clean. Rooftop bar could be Such a great amenity to have but needs a lot of tweaking to make it special. Breakfast was relaxed and tasty. No complaints. Rooms are fine, has everything you need. But this is my biggest but of our stay , the air con is not very cold and so so loud ! Had to turn off to sleep but then room Gets very warm.
We have stayed here several times in the last couple of years. We had a room with a “side” sea view, which means that you have a lovely view from your balcony across the pines to the sea and Falesia Beach beyond. The hotel has a quiet atmosphere, despite being conveniently near a supermarket, cafes and restaurants. The room was spacious and comfortable with a huge bed and the bathroom was a good size. There was plenty of space for hanging clothes in the curtained-off area of the bedroom. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. The staff on reception and in the breakfast area were very welcoming and the buffet breakfasts had a good choice of cooked and cold items, pastries, breads, etc., all freshly replenished when necessary. Brilliant for couples needing a relaxing break. We shall be back!
