We stayed on the 13th floor with absolutely stunning views, the only criticism I will say is the water pressure was very poor but I can live with that.

I dont recommend staying here. It needs an overhaul and a deep clean. The beds are so hard that they hurt. The towels are falling apart. There was stains on the floors and walls. My hand towel had moisturiser or something stuck to it. When I got in the shower, gunk from under the door started flowing into the shower recess. I did report it at reception and via email - no repsonse or follow up. It looked liked it had never been wiped down. The tint on my balcony door was also cracked with fingers marks smudged all over the door. I don't think there is regular cleaning in place. The lights in the kitchen area also didn't work.

The Strand in Townsville is always a good place to stay but the Aquarius is outdated and old fashioned and worn out
