Acqualina is independently owned and family-run, Alexandra Wensley, vice president of communications, tells T+L.

Alongside prosecco and sparkling water, we were offered apple juice in a sippy cup as a welcome drink.
Perhaps that’s why so many return or invest for the long term.
More than half of our guests return again after visiting, sometimes several times a year, says Wensley.

Rooms come in three levels: standard, one-bedroom suites, and two- and three-bedroom suites.
All have private balconies or terraces and are between 600 and 2,000 square feet.
Updated bathrooms have a Roman bathhouse feel with arches inlaid in travertine and new wall-to-wall marble vanities.
We appreciated how each venue was flexible and sensitive to our needs.
Avra has no kids' menu, but the chef gladly revised a chicken entree.
The gelato bar was a welcome respite from the afternoon sun.
Meanwhile, for a quieter afternoon, there’s an adults-only pool surrounded by plush cabanas and daybeds.
I love that the menu offered various wellness treatments, like sound healing frequencies and Ayurvedic Marma point massage.
Its a complimentary service on weekends and can be reserved during the week book a day in advance.
