Disappointed
Found the lack of air on floors made cooking smells very strong. Bathroom rails falling off. Bed sittee our grand daughter used was shocking, needed replacing. All in All, the great thing about Aquarius is the view. Found our greeting upon arrival very very average and same thru out our two night stay. Would not stay there again.

Great location for entertainment, great balcony with water view. Bathroom area was old and attempt made to freshen with a coat of paint on just about everything. Queen bed is never big enough but was comfortable.
