Do not stay here! I'm typically not the type of person who leaves bad reviews but this is a necessity. This hotel was dirty, dingy and reeked of weed. There is only one elevator for 7 floors. Our room didnt have any of the "amenities" listed on the advertisement. The beds were broken and creeked/cracked every time you touched them. While looking for bugs (as I do at every hotel), we found used Q-Tips between the mattress and box spring. The shower didn't work on the first day. The halls are so narrow that you can't pass in them. And the parking lot had the smallest spaces known to mankind. Not to forget the overflowing dumpster that smelled of urine or the multiple drug deals that we witnessed. When we alerted the front desk of the issues, we received an "ok" and that was it. They didn't even ask how our stay was, but looking back, its probably because they knew it was going to be awful. This "resort" is nothing like the pictures or description and should be avoided at all costs!

Eddie was very nice helping with check in. Rooms and hotel in general needs repairs. Dirty floors. Smell of cannabis kept us on a high not chosen by us. Pictures online are misleading. Beach convenience was wonderful but not much else. Housekeepers acted like they didn't speak English when asked questions or highly inconvenienced. Most quests we spoke to had same fellings of hotel. Too bad because could be a wonderful place.

It was "okayish"

They had one employee at the counter for check in, took us about 20 mins to check in. They have 1 elevator for all 6 floors so youll be waiting for the elevator for 20 to 30 mins at times (specifically when you are loading and unloading to come and go it makes it very difficult) There was 2 towels in our bathroom, no wash rags, or even smaller towels. The hotel is convenient to the beach but it wasnt "as nice as the picture's) of course they never are. Oh and you had to park a block away as they do not have parking at actual location!!

Good stay but......

Been to Aqua Vista several times over the last year, always a decent stay. This time, due to the time of year and the amount of guests staying at the hotel, the elevator wait times were extremely long. Otherwise, nothing to complain about.

There is a singular elevator that is used by hotel staff and customers. The wait time was pretty insane. There’s about 4-5 entrances, only 1 being operational to go in and out of. There was 1 other that you could go out but not come in. Parking lot is the darkest crustiest thing to walk to. I’m an easy person to please but even I was pretty disappointed in how inconvenient a hotel could be.

We didn’t have any face clothes and I called the desk for some he told me that housekeeping was on vacation and he didn’t have nobody to bring them to me. Also bathroom was dirty shower hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. When you moved on the bed the mattress would slide off to one side. The entire hallway and elevator reeked of marijuana.
