The unit was exactly what is pictured. It was clean, the beds were comfy, the pools and hot tub areas were very pleasing. Most of all.. The view was amazing.. You can watch some of the best sunsets. There are a variety of restaurants, activities and stores in the vicinity of this unit as well. I would definitely recommend making this your next home away from home vacation spot.

It was a perfect spot for a family vacation—we had a great time overall! Just a few minor hiccups like the kitchen light falling down, the access code not working on the second day, and a surprise fire alarm. But none of that took away from the fun we had!

It was a great unit for the price. Important thing to note it does not come with beach chairs and if you are familiar with the resort and expecting it you could be disappointed. I knew from the start cause I combed through the listing. But the price matched the experience.

Better than Nothing

Location was perfect on the strip. Check in was a pain and codes given were incorrect due the property changing them every so often for security purposes. It was upsetting that the unit did not come with much including beach chairs or umbrella or toys to choose from. Also, there was an extreme shortage on towels and bath cloths for our family. They only provide 1-2 towels and rags for a 4-day stay. The hotel elevators do not have any Air conditioning. The patio was an ok size with a decent view however not sure that rocking chairs are the best option for a relaxing for a beach stay. Overall unit needs some upgrades and hotel is a bit overrated. Pillow cases had stains on them too and were deflated and small. Only 2 were on the queen bed.

Hi Brittany. We are very sorry that your stay did not meet full expectations. Due to size, this particular unit does not come with beach gear or chairs and we do not advertise this. We sincerely apologize about the lack of towels; we would have been more than happy to bring you some more if we had known! We hope that you consider staying in Aqua again, there are so many wonderful amenities that are offered!

Aqua 1206

My fiancé and I stayed at Aqua 2/20-2/26 for our wedding over the weekend. Tried to use the washer Thursday and it would not work. Contacted Joe and he come over within a few hours with extra wash cloths. Technician was called and over on Friday and the washer was not repairable and out of order our entire stay. We were offered a washer in a spare unit but only one load was able to be done due to wedding plans and guests checking in. We had to drag wet clothes from a lower unit to our upper unit. I know this is no fault of the owner, but we felt more could have been done from Rent and Relax Vacation Rentals. Having a working washer is a perk staying in a condo so you don’t take dirty laundry home with you and it’s nice to have fresh towels. We contacted Rent and Relax again on Saturday and expressed the issue again regarding having no washer and also the filthy balcony. Lots of pigeon poo. Was told We would be contacted Saturday and never received a call. The iron needs to be replaced as it was broken and scorched. I had to buy one to iron wedding clothes. Also I would suggest a fitted sheet to lay on instead of a flat sheet as we would wake up every morning wadded up in it. We have stayed at Aqua numerous times and will return but probably not with Rent and Relax Vacation Rentals.

Aqua is a very nice resort. However this unit needs some attention. The master bedroom dresser is in bad shape. The carpet is fraying in places. The bed was not real comfortable. The bedroom door was missing paint. We had to access internet from the unit next door. And the dryer is extremely loud! We notified the host about these items and they offered to send maintenance to take care of things, but we didn’t want the interruption, so asked them to wait until we checked out. None of these things ruined our vacation, but we expected better.
