Questions about Aquarius Backpackers Resort
What time is check-in and check-out at Aquarius Backpackers Resort?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Aquarius Backpackers Resort allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Aquarius Backpackers Resort?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Aquarius Backpackers Resort?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Aquarius Backpackers Resort have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Aquarius Backpackers Resort have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Aquarius Backpackers Resort?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
