Atmosphere and surroundings were pleasant. I ordered the Garlic Lime Calamari and it would have been delicious had it been served hot, but it was cold. The service was somewhat slow and unwelcoming. I would most likely not return as there are many other better options in Muri Beach.

Service was horrendous I had to walk around the restaurant trying to find someone I could pay. We never returned. I would advise people not to bother unless they were a guest at... More

We came here twice for dinner and enjoyed the food and location very much - very impressed to see the whole place is run on solar power. It's a great place to come to have some relaxed cocktails by the pool, the mango Pina colada is amazing.

Let me start by saying the atmosphere here is nice. It was quiet & peaceful, right next to the pool. They could turn the fans on... That would make such a difference as there was no breeze. I ordered the bacon, eggs (poached) & tomato on sourdough. It came out... My eggs were still undercooked (the egg whites were still... More

We came here quite a number of times. The staff are really friendly. The food was good as well. We tried the seafood platter for 2 and the mango mocktail was absolutely awesome. Definitely recommended. :)

After having spent happy hour here (awesome cocktails 2 for $12) we decided to try dinner there on our last night as it was close to where we were staying (not at the hotel) Food was great, not very busy so service was great too. Would definitely recommend.

This restaurant is poolside, but not on the beach. The cocktails are lovely and between 4-5 each afternoon they have a 2 for 1 special cocktail of the day! The staff are super friendly and attentive

Even though we stayed on the edge of Muri Beach, my husband and I spent less time there due to the fact that we don't love crowds. We love quiet, romantic places. However, one night we decided to try Aqua Cafe because it was close to where we stayed. What a wonderful surprise! Aqua is just off Muri Beach but... More

I apologise that our coffee machine was out of service when you visited our restaurant. We have sent this brand new coffee machine back to the supplier in New Zealand for them to ascertain the problem and hopefully return to us ASAP so that we can continue to supply delicious coffee to our customers. In the meantime, we have been... More
