Smack-dab in the heart of South Beach, the Aqua Hotel is a basic budget property that attracts partiers looking to be in the center of the local action. The 46 rooms here are simple and get lots of natural light, plus they all have minibars, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers. Many, however, are showing wear and tear, and bathrooms are old. On-site amenities are limited to a whirlpool in a small courtyard with some greenery, and a couple of computers in the lobby for guest use. The hotel tacks on a resort fee to cover what little they do offer: notably, Wi-Fi, basic continental breakfast, loungers on the beach (though umbrellas are only available for a steep daily fee), and a set-time shuttle to the Miami Airport. Similarly priced hotels abound in the area, such as the Whitelaw Hotel nearby, which offers a better value.

What are the Design and Scene Like at Aqua Hotel?
Budget party hotel with blue-and-white decor and a pleasant courtyard
Where is Aqua Hotel Located?
In the heart of Miami's South Beach nightlife scene and a block from the beach
The Aqua Hotel is located on Collins Avenue, in an area full of bars and clubs. It's flanked by high-rise party hotels including the Delano, the National, and The Raleigh Miami Beach, and the beach is a block down the road. There's a 24-hour Walgreen's a block away from the hotel, and Ocean Drive -- with its seemingly endless eating and drinking options (many of which are overpriced tourist traps) -- is a two-minute walk away. You're better off walking a few blocks north to the Lincoln Road Mall, an outdoor pedestrian promenade with everything from pharmacies and Starbucks to designer clothing shops and high-end restaurants. Miami International Airport is about a 25-minute drive from the hotel, without traffic.

What Features are Available at Aqua Hotel?
Courtyard with whirlpool and rooftop deck, plus free airport transfers, basic breakfast, and Wi-Fi
Amenities at this hotel are limited. While there's no fitness center or pool, there is a small whirlpool in the hotel's pleasant, plant-filled courtyard, along with a table with chairs for those who just want to hang out. There's also a deck on the second floor for sunbathing, though given that the beach is nearby, it's easy enough to just head there. Plus, the hotel has a number of free lounge chairs at the beach for guests. Umbrellas, however, are an extra, steep charge. Free shuttle service to and from the airport is offered, with several fixed departures in each direction per day. Beyond this, amenities are limited to a couple of guest computers in the lobby, and a free but basic continental breakfast service every morning -- but no proper restaurant or room service. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel and valet parking is available for a fee.
