Staff is courteous and helpful. Pool area is really nice. The beach is only steps away from the hotel property. Nice and affordable restaurant at the Embassy Hotel which is next to the Aquarius. However, be aware that the Aquarius Vacation Club is currently under renovations. Rooms are clean but very outdated.Carpets are awful. My room was also extremely cold and I was not able to control the room temperature. Overall, I would give it 3 stars because of the rooms condition.
