Aquarium Experience

My stay in the aquarium room was lovely. Waking up to see a long stretch of vibrant fish swimming around was a unique and enchanting experience. It felt like having a piece of the ocean right in our room! The ambiance was soothing, and my kids loved every moment of it. The spaciousness and cleanliness of the room made our stay even more enjoyable.

Amazing Kids’ Activities

Hotel H2O is a fantastic place for families! My children loved the children’s amenities like kite flying at Luneta, just a short walk away from the hotel. The activities kept them entertained and happy throughout our stay. It’s wonderful to have a hotel that caters to kids so well, making our family vacation even more enjoyable and stress-free.

Our weekend stay was simply delightful! The aquarium room was a highlight for my grandkids, who loved every moment. The staff, especially Myca from the Club Lounge, went above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The dining was enjoyable, but I wish there were more variety at breakfast. Overall, a highly recommended family-friendly spot for a great time.

I had a unique experience at the hotel, especially with the Aqua Supreme Room featuring an aquarium wall. The staff was generally nice, and I appreciated the friendly atmosphere. However, the hotel itself felt like it needed a lot of upkeep, with some areas looking shabby and the breakfast offering being pretty minimal. Overall, while the concept is intriguing, the execution left much to be desired.

I had a lovely experience at Hotel H2O, especially with the awesome inclusions that made the stay worthwhile. The Aqua room was a highlight, filled with fascinating marine life.

My stay at the hotel was quite a mix of experiences. The rooms were superb and clean, complete with a huge aquarium that added a unique touch. I appreciated the approachability of the staff, but the room service left a lot to be desired, as my order took nearly two hours and the response was quite lackluster. On the bright side, the location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions, though Wi-Fi was inconsistent throughout the property, which was frustrating.

We truly enjoyed the spa and the bar with a stunning sunset view, creating memorable moments with my family.
