Aquarius on the Beach

8/10 Good
"Great location, fantastic view and room had all the essential amenities. Lovely and clean. Easy and pretty walk along g beach to ferry for magnetic island. Only complaint was tried to purchase laundry detergent and machine gobbled up coins with no product. When I explained this to reception, they said not their problem with no offer of refund or detergent."
