Hotel Bungalows Acuario has a great location, perfect for accessing the beach and nearby restaurants. However, I struggled with noise issues throughout my stay, especially from the street and a nearby nightclub. While the staff were friendly and helpful, the lack of soundproofing made it hard to enjoy a good night's sleep.

During my stay at Hotel Bungalows Acuario, I enjoyed the lovely view from my room and the friendly staff, but the noise level was quite bothersome at times. I would recommend this place for its beachside location, especially for surfers, although those looking for a quiet evening might want to consider earplugs. Overall, it had its ups and downs that made my experience nice but not without challenges.

I had a nice stay at Hotel Bungalows Acuario, thanks to its great location right on Zicatela beach. However, the noise from nearby bars and the street was a real downside for me. While the staff were friendly and the pool was nice, it was hard to ignore the disturbances that affected my rest throughout the nights.

My stay at Hotel Bungalows Acuario was a mixed bag. The location right on Zicatela beach is fantastic and perfect for surf lovers, plus the beachside restaurant made for great breakfasts. However, the noise was a major downside, especially from nearby bars that kept me up late. The room I chose was clean and spacious, but the lack of soundproofing really impacted my sleep quality.

My stay at Hotel Bungalows Acuario was a mixed bag. While the location right on Zicatela beach and the welcoming staff made for a good experience, the noise levels from the street and the occasional cabin issues were quite bothersome. I appreciated the pool, especially when I needed a break from the beach waves, but the disturbances at night made it hard to fully relax.
Rooms

I opted for a bungalow with a sea view. The room was clean, but the fact that it only had mesh instead of glass windows made for a noisy experience with street sounds disrupting my sleep. The air conditioning was effective, but it did make the room quite chilly at times.
Service

The front desk staff was friendly and made an effort to accommodate my needs, even offering me a quieter room after I expressed concern about the noise. However, I noticed that some staff seemed inexperienced and overly focused on collecting payments rather than addressing issues.
Location

The hotel is perfectly situated right on the beach and the main strip, making it super convenient for accessing nearby shops and restaurants. However, being in front of a big nightclub meant quite a lot of noise at night, which was challenging for me as a light sleeper.
Dining

I enjoyed meals at the hotel's restaurant, especially the beachfront views while eating breakfast. While the food tasted great, I found some of the menu items a bit pricey compared to nearby options. It was great that the hotel offered a discount at Mango's next door, which was a nice added bonus.
Facilities
6.0
The facilities included a nice pool that was clean and refreshing after a long day on the beach. However, I did notice the pool bar was not in use, which was a bit disappointing. The hotel offered various services like airport shuttles, but I had some trouble with my own arrival experience.
