Stopped here for a Sunday Roast. Fantastic location on Shanklin Esplanade, with beer garden view across the bay, no smoking in the beer garden is a definite plus when enjoying food. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was absolutely excellent- possibly the best pub Sunday Roast that I have eaten anywhere. Outstanding, thank you!

A very laid back place to sit and enjoy the views, easy to get a drink and toilets easily available. Food okay, but not great. Staff good, a dog was in our party and fresh water and doggie treats were brought out.
The Aqua is a small hotel set facing the sea at the end of Shanklin Esplanade. The hotel is small and compact across two upper floors, which sit above the bar and restaurant. The hotel also has a patio area in front of the premises with tables and parasols. The check-in was easy and the receptionist was very welcoming and extremely helpful. We had a sea view room with balcony. Views were spectacular.
The room a reasonable size and was clean and bright. The ensuite was compact,but dated, but very clean. The shelf across the sink was problematic when washing your face, and the pull cord light switch projected into the door space you had to dodge it walking in.. Those were minor issues and did not detract from the overall experience. Breakfast choices were grand and should suit most people with cereals and cooked items. They were experiencing staffing issues so the evening restaurant was not operating. This was not a issue as there were other eateries next door. Overall, the stay was enjoyable.
