We paid for an upgraded end suite. The water pressure in the bathroom was non existent, and the shower didn’t work, so had to bath in 3 inches of tepid water . Otherwise ok but disappointing for an up for an upgraded room

I never give top score as it leaves no room for improvement. Aquarius was very close though. Friendly staff nice room and nice views. Only thing as an older person is, a non slip shower mat as showers are over a bath and I felt unsafe. Ceiling fans would be good too. Very happy though.
