We had a great stay at Aquarius Apartments. The space is super functional, loved the balcony, centrally located, walking distance to all the restaurants, shops, and Port activities. Check-in and check-out were super easy. We had great communication with the manager. We would not hesitate to use them again.

The view of the property is great! The location is also great - you can walk food and shopping within steps. The main issue I ran into with the property is communication and maintenance. The shower did not drain in the master bath so I emailed the property manager and they said they would come and fix it right away but they did not. Also, the dining room chairs were not stable at all. One just fall apart when my wife tried to site on it. (my wife is a petite size.) It is a huge liability - not sure why they would keep using them. I also messaged them about it and it was not fixed during our stay. Also, there is no tissue box anywhere in the apartment and they provide only one small piece of soap per bathroom. So, you need to bring soap or just buy them locally. These last two problems are not huge issues but a pain when on vacation.

I left a pair of my designer sunglasses in the apartment, and couldn’t find it, thought I left in one of the shops while shopping. Shortly after we checked out, I received an email asking if we left my glasses behind. Very professional and honest. Greatly appreciate. The place and clean and gave me a welcome vibe! I highly recommended.

Location of the property was excellent. Lots of dining options within 1 block. Furniture was tired however. Leather on sofa was cracking. Requested the two single beds in second room be made into one, although this was done, they remained two beds with 1 cover. Most accommodations have a mattress pad linking two beds together. The mattresses should be replaced, springs are wearing thru. In summary, stay for location, not for the bed. We provided our guests the main bedroom & received no complaints
