Nice area. Pool is clean but hotel is run down. The AC didn’t really work. Carpets were stained, room furniture stained, paint falling off/bubbling in the room, and the futon had a broken leg. Also the bathroom was only partially cleaned.

The staff at Aquarius was very friendly. And the accommodations were good. Our problem is that we had a 3rd child in our suite bringing our total to five in the room. When we booked we simply planned to have the 8yr old child sleep in our double bed with us and the two other children sleep on the pullout couch. Everything was already there for that arrangement. It seemed easy. But to Aquarius this very simple arrangement was not good enough so they charged us an extra $100 a day. This was an unexpected additional cost of $700 to our vacation!! I don't know about you but that is a lot of money to our family. Furthermore, they didn't even give us sheets for the pullout couch and after we asked for them, room service took part of the sheets back every day. No extra room towels or soap or anything was given either. We just made do. So we basically paid $700 for a pool pass which could not be the going cost. I don't know about others, but we would not have booked here if we had known an extra 700 would be added. I thought maybe it would be a $100 "extra person fee" total at most. I was just very disappointed that they were not flexible on this. I thought this was a family friendly hotel and was sorely disappointed to find out it wasn't. It is a shame too as we enjoyed our time at Aquarius (staff was A+) but how can we come back \ recommend it if they can't accommodate a family of 5 in a time of high prices without adding such an extreme penalty to our time together?
