Clean room, friendly staff, nice view. Only complaint was that parking was a bit of a hike away. Other than that, solid hotel.

Aquarius Vacation Club at Dorado del Mar
Property was average but seemed understaffed. Pool area was beautiful but never saw anyone clean it or treat it. The grass area had garbage around the exterior. It only got cleaned when my husband picked up the garbage. Room only got cleaned once, we were told we had to wait for clean bath towels ...
