This was our first time staying at Hotel Acuario and we were pleasantly surprised. We were given an extremely good rate due to it being low season and we stayed for 12 nights. The room was very simple but had an excellent air conditioner (a must in Puerto at any time of the year) and a sizeable balcony with a great view of the beach. We could certainly check the surf conditions anytime. It is a little noisy with Kabbalah directly opposite but that's only on weekends during low season. The rest of the time it was fine. The pool was a great place to cool off in the afternoons as Zicatella is too dangerous for swimming. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel for its convenient location and great price. It's everything you need for a beach holiday.

I stayed here for 22 days in February. Note that the hotel is under new management and they are working on many improvements and updates, so some comments from previous years may be outdated/no longer applicable. Pluses = Staff were wonderful...friendly, polite, helpful, always hardworking. Location great...right on center of main strip in town surrounded by many restaurants and shops with an OXXO (corner store) right next door and and ATM (Santandor Bank) just a few minute walk away). Pool was refreshing and kept clean, hotel was kept spotless with daily room cleaning, free access to beach loungers and umbrellas across the street at the hotel restaurant. I stayed in room 35 (2nd floor poolside) which was good for noise reduction due to it's location a bit away from the street where you will most likely hear music from the nearby bars at night, not so much where I was). The room had a singe and a double bed both of which were comfortable. Had a small fridge, new flatscreen TV, AC and a ceiling fan. Water in the shower was hot (sometimes had to wait a minute or two but it always got very hot). Room was overall basic/simple, but did the trick. No issues with bugs/insects as is often the case in the south. The beach is directly across the street and the hotel has a beachside restaurant with loungers and umbrellas free for hotel guests to use. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Discount given for extended stays (I believe for more than 2 weeks), ask at check-in. Negatives = Central location also meant some late night noise from the surrounding restaurants/bars depending on your room location (out front = more noise). Wifi not working great from my room (but as indicated above, improvements are being worked on and this is one thing the manager is getting upgraded very soon!). My room had brick walls and so was not very soundproof. Overall, a great stay, I plan to go back again and would recommend to others.
