Check in was pleasant & quick, Rachel was nice. Location was convenient with shops nearby. Pool is deep & enough for a dip, spa was nice. The only downside was little things in the room like the couch smelt like mims & a rip in the curtain. Otherwise size and other facilities like fridge, stove, microwave was bliss.

I liked that there was sky, an ac, a pool and a spa, nice shower, and blinds. Was nice and clean.
The bed was a little firm, the curtains were long sitting on the ground easily can be stood on and there was a rip in the curtain unsure if that was reported yet. When we arrived after my arrival time my room wasnt ready yet. Only 1 chair with the dinning table. Not sure if the price i paid for this room was worth it.

Unpleasant stay
The property looks old and many spiders found at ceiling. We got locked outside the room with room and cellphone left inside the room. The reception was closed with notice stating to be back shortly but was not appear eventually until we got help by another roommate to unlock our room l.

No hot water!!!!
In general the room was OK, it was clean and comfy. However, there was no hot water so I was unable to take a shower etc. When I went to reception to discuss the matter there was nobody available so I was unable to remedy the situation, there was also no one available at point of checkout so I was unable to have the conversation then. I will not be staying at the Aquarius again.
