“Aquarius On The Beach benefits immensely from its location right on The Strand in Townsville, a vibrant spot with ocean views. The hotel presents a straightforward experience, prioritizing its setting, though some prior guests have mentioned inconsistencies in room upkeep. I think it's a reasonable choice for those focused on being close to the beach and city life.”
