The tree houses at Aqua Wellness Resort serve two purposes. The first, obviously, is to inspire plenty of “I can’t believe we’re doing this!” exclamations, which you’ll catch yourself uttering as you sip champagne in an aerial plunge pool as the sun sinks into Redondo Bay. The other reason for tree living is environmental: By building above the forest floor, Aqua is minimizing its impact on a delicate ecosystem. Get up close and personal with nature – after all, it’s in your living room – and let the yoga classes, organic spa treatments, and healing hillside location work their magic.

The facilities are in poor condition and completely neglected. Customer service is terrible; the receptionist left me talking to myself and didn't offer any solutions when the room's air conditioning didn't work. The cabin had rotten parts, and the balcony was missing a guard. This is definitely not a hotel to recommend.

Aqua Resort was a huge disappointment. I went expecting a peaceful, relaxing getaway by the ocean, a chance to unplug and enjoy nature. What I got was the complete opposite. During my stay, the resort was hosting some kind of commercial event. There were big branded banners all over the beach, loud music blasting from early morning until nearly midnight, and people partying late into the night. It was impossible to relax. The whole atmosphere felt chaotic and totally out of place for what’s supposed to be a nature-focused retreat. To make things worse, the next morning the beach was littered with trash—beer bottles, cups, food containers, and all kinds of junk just left behind. It honestly looked like a party cleanup crew never showed up. Seeing that first thing in the morning just added to how stressful and disappointing the whole trip was. This was not what I signed up for, and definitely not worth the money. If you’re looking for quiet, peace, or any kind of relaxing experience, I highly recommend staying far away from this place. I won’t be coming back.

DO NOT BOOK HERE! The hotel is closed. I was looking for a hotel to stay in, this came up as an option. I booked it and thought all was great. I drove 3 hours only to find out when upon arriving they are no longer in business. The hotel was either sold or I'm not certain what happened, but I had to drive around to find something else.

Resort has a unique mix of luxury, natural and privacy. Beach is world class. Rooms are eco lux. Service is provided by dedicated professionals. Food is great. Main activity besides beach, was monkey, crab, and bird watching. Snorkeling was fun. Worth the money. Second stay was even better than our pre-pandemic first trip.

Cannot ask for more. 100% worth the trek. We always have a fabulous time here! Beautiful tree houses with spa, comfortable beds, clean, amazing views, private beach, and delicious food. Every time we stay we are able to experience different animals - a special treat! This time we saw baby turtles, howler monkeys, and beautiful birds. Will be coming back again.

“Hotel was beautiful - a magical, tree top oasis. There were a few blips - service was slow but courteous. We had a bad experience with one of the excursions, but management was very willing to listen to our concerns. Perfect, serene setting replete with monkeys. Should know: MANY steps, but if you are in reasonable shape, it shouldn't be a problem. Also, the trip from the airport to the hotel was every bit of 2 1/2 hours & bumpy ride.”

“The place was great but is far away from the airport. Excursions were expensive and involved a lot of driving on bad roads in bad cars. Everything there was amazing though!”
