Greeting and reception were very friendly, check in took only moments. Room was spacious enough for 4 adults and had all we needed. Beach was only a minutes walk away to enjoy coffee in the morning. I'd happily come back

When I was looking for accomodation I searched for pet friendly motels.I booked Aquarius, then saw that they said no pets. You need to clarify - are they or are they not pet friendly?
