Great location and pretty good facilities, but unfortunately, the rooms are in very poor condition and need significant renovation. The overall experience would be much better if the rooms were properly maintained and updated.

It’s a Basic-Smart Stay compared to the adjacent Hotel. Rooms are basic and a dated with a mild smell. Cleaning it’s done every other day, during your stay (Beds, Towels etc). We spent the days out in the pools and the beach area. (Which was the Main reason we picked that hotel). We Uber Eat Groceries for the kids, beverages, snacks, and stuff for sandwiches for during the day. Since nothing it’s included and I wasn’t about to pay for every single bottle of water. Options for breakfast are pretty limited, unless you are able to drive out of the property; and there’s a Daily Fee to park your vehicle at the premises.

The common areas need to be cleaned more frequently. Shampooing the carpets would make a significant difference, as they appear quite dirty. Also, the elevator floors are constantly wet, so please be mindful of that.
My only complaint is the overall cleanliness of the common areas. The room itself was clean and comfortable, but the carpets throughout the property definitely need a deep shampoo cleaning. Improving this would make a big difference in the overall guest experience.
Aquarius was descent.The staff were very pleasant n helpful..The hotel lobby is very updated.i just feel like the rooms could use a little more updating..I had a beautiful beach n pool view..I wished there were more stuff to do like tours n stuff...But my stay was pleasant.

Overall it was a great bang for the buck. Use of embassy suites amenities made it worth booking with Aquarius. The rooms need some updating and/or renovation, and the appliances as well (my room had a broken dryer), however they have everything you need and are very spacious. I would stay here again for economic savings and because the use of amenities. There’s a lot to suggest to make it better but my family and I had a great time here so I give them grace.
Loved the private beach. Poolside bar was nice (good food and drinks). The pool itself was pretty cloudy water, so we mostly stuck to the ocean. It seems like they're doing quite a bit of remodeling to the rooms which were already pretty nice and quite spacious. The hallways don't smell great, but whatever.

Waited in the checkin line for 1:45 on a Friday evening (only one person working the desk, with a line going almost outside). With a hungry and tired wife and baby that set the stay off to a very poor start. It was ok after that. Most of the staff were nice, and the rooms are a great size and setup with their own kitchens and living rooms apart from the bedroom. Decent pool and ok beach.
You walk in andthe hotel lobby is very nice. You get on the elevator and you go to your floor and it’s a different story. The hotel is not very well well-maintained. They need to redo their carpet. The pool and the beach access was very convenient. A family would have a good time using the amenities at this hotel, but lower your expectations for the hotel room.
We had a great time with our grandkids. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Just a few downers. If the reservation is for a 1 bedroom and 4 guests, there should be pillows and sheets for all. Also towels. The rooms need a little tender loving care. Maybe new furniture, the beds are hard. Some of us are working all year and on our free time want to rest, but those beds are a little hard. The air was not working good. Besides that it's a nice place
The property needs quite a bit of TLC and updating. The hallway and room carpets were very old and had a noticeable musty odor. Overall, the property has potential, but significant updates and improvements are needed. Worse bedroom pillows as well!
On the positive side, the pool was nice, and the hotel was conveniently located near several restaurants.
We arrived and discovered that each of the full size beds sunk in the middle. We informed the staff and they were able to change us to another room. They did some repairs but my wife and I could not sleep in the same bed the whole week due to this issue. Great location and great potential but needs some work
I went for my wife’s birthday. We went into the hot tub. It worked for five minutes and then it shut off when I went to the switch on the wall. It was burning hot. After that, we tried to take a shower. The water was lukewarm. Went down and spoke to them. They sent someone up. They never addressed the issue with the switch on the wall. and we didn’t feel safe there, so aside from the fact that there was a storm hitting New Jersey and we didn’t wanna be delayed in Puerto Rico for a couple days, we just counted our losses and checked out and left. It was a terrible experience there. I’ve been to this hotel before and it was pretty good, but this particular room, the wall was peeling paint from moisture from the outside, which is typically expected in an island. Windows were foggy. smelled like mildew. Bed was super hard, and when you just add that with everything else, it was just not the right state for us. We checked out two days earlier
So the room was great , peaceful not noisy at all. The first impression is that more staff is needed in the front. The poor man needs a bonus ($) or something. He handled check ins for hours and the line was to the door. He did it all solo! Our family loved the d
Stay over all.
Our only complaint is that there were no beach towels available the first night and we had to go all the way back to the same front desk young man to request for towels as well. I was also charged double by hotel and my expedia. That double charging cost Is a total inconvenience. Now we are back in the States trying to reach them and no response! I've been calling Aquarius all day to rectify and no one answers (probably because they've got one staff member doing it all).

I’ll start out by saying that the hotel itself is in a nice location. They literally share the space with the embassy suites (same pools). However, the service is completely different. I really don’t care about the physical room because I was there for the pool and beach, both were nice. On our first day we arrived around 5pm for check in and wanted to enjoy the pool, we asked for towels and supposedly they were in the dryer. We returned at 7pm and the concierge (male), said they didn’t have any, to come back tomorrow. He was smirking as he said it. Why not tell us to use the room towels for now, and replace them? The next morning we were able to get them. The towels themselves were paper thin and tiny in comparison to the adjacent hotel. The garbage from the room was not thrown out for two days (our stay). Rooms were not cleaned, no new towels, we would see the cleaners in the hallways socializing, but rooms were not touched. Now, I’ve been trying to get my deposit ($150) 11 business days later and there is no way of contacting them. Sadly, I really liked the location and even thought of recommending them to family since we have family in the area, but they’ve acted too messy and I wouldn’t want anyone to deal with that.
