It took us over 3 hours in our rental to find this hotel, once we arrived we discovered it to be very nice but directions given to us were AWFUL! It is attached to the Embassy Suites and this is all they needed to tell us when giving directions. It has a nice beach and the pool area is nice... More

Although we arrived righ at 3:00pm, check in process was smooth and fast. The front desk personnel was kind and well informed. The hotel met all of our requests for a high floor with ocean view. The room was clean and everything worked. There is some missing furniture in the living room and most of the in-room amenities are dated.... More

This villa was in a gated golf community. Very lovely grounds with a casino next door. The staff was friendly and helpful and most everyone spoke English. The pullout out couch was comfy and new, and there was a full kitchen along with a washer and dryer. The hot water in the shower wasnt hot, only warm, and they ran... More

If you select this property in Dorado you will need to rent a car. Do not depend on public or private transportation. Also, call the hotel and request directions step by step since if its not that easy to find. Please note this hotel connected to the Embassy Suites Dorado. They share the same pool, beach, gym and common amenities.... More

Not walking distance to public restaurants, places to eat on site are horribly expensive & not very good. The beach is filthy, cigarette butts & beer bottle caps. Website said private beach, but its public & full of nonresort people, there is a locked fence you have to go through to get there now. Maids do not clean the rooms... More

We got a room for 97 dollars a night for 7 days.It was basially clean and had very very good air conditioning.Yes the hotel is strategically off the beaten path and you are made to either get expensive public transportation or a rent a car to get anywhere....

We booked this as the Golden Sands Villas, but found it to be by the Embassy Suites Hotel (it may have once belonged to them) and the name on the outside and inside is Aquarius Beach Club. There are good things and bad things about this place. First it is not easy to find and the property is very dated.... More

We arrived at the hotel without reservations after a local recommended it. Fortunately they had rooms available and advised a rate of over $150 for a double room. The clerk then advised it would be cheaper if we booked the room through Expedia, it would just take an hour or so for the hotel to receive the confirmation. He was... More

We stayed at this hotel for a week. 1st things 1st, when you book, it might be under Aquarius for the name. that's also the name on the building and the front gate. They're the same thing. We loved our hotel though. When you first pull onto the road to get to the hotel, you will be brought to some... More
