“The stay was good, and the hotel facilities and surrounding areas were very well maintained. However, I do have one complaint: it has been almost 15 days since I checked out, and the security deposit has still not been returned to me. The amount of time that has passed is excessive, and when I call to ask for an update or an explanation, no one answers. This is very frustrating and unacceptable.”

There was either child or iguana defecation in the pool. There were so many people staying there, Aquarius is next to and shares the pool with the Embassy Hilton. The breakfast, for which we paid $21 the first day was terrible.
