We absolutely loved our stay at the Aqua Resort. The condo looked exactly like the photos. Everything was very clean upon our arrival. Our 9 year old daughter absolutely loved the pool area. The included beach chair and umbrella rental was a great bonus (2 chairs). We just had to make sure we were down there a little before 8 to reserve a front row chair as they did fill up pretty quickly each day. Beach access was easy with a nice ramp down to the sand which worked great for our beach wagon. The elevators were very quick all week, even with it being a Spring Break week and fairly busy. We didn't have any issues with the condo that required reaching out to management but having them on site would have made that pretty easy. One thing we were also impressed with was how clean the facilities looked all week. We would definitely recommend this condo to anyone looking for a nice getaway on the beach.

Party Resort

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Room was big enough for us. Only had enough silverware for 5 people. We had to go buy silverware and pans for cooking. Room wasn't the cleanest,several dead bugs in bunk room and alive silverfish throughout condo. Nice view. Says no smoking on property but couldn't enjoy our balcony due to the astronomical amount of cigarette smoke. Do not book if you have COPD or Asthma. Not a family location. Disgusting music played at pool. People drunk and smelling like weed. Over crowded pool. Not good enough security. Pool and elevator entrance along main rd. Gate often left open. I went all week without bracelet and no one said anything. Definitely over priced location for all the negatives.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for your negative experience! We are available on-site seven days a week 8:30AM – 5:00PM, and security is on property 24/7 - please contact the front desk during your stay next time so we can have your issue(s) resolved. Aqua - Aronov Resort Management.

This year, it was just my wife and I and this was the perfect condo. Could not ask for a better place to spend your vacation. The bed and furniture were comfortable and the unit was very clean.

Often times upon arrival you can be disappointed to find a rental to not be as described online, not with this one! The cleanliness of the unit met all expectations! It was beautiful, the bed slept well, and I have no complaints at all.I highly recommend this unit and will rent it again in the future.

The condo was awesome. Five Stars here.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall amazing experience. Exception would be using the kiosk for parking is very lengthy, very confusing and extremely frustrating especially after a long drive. We arrived after 5pm so there was no help from the resort with the kiosk. Next time parking will be done prior to the visit. I would definitely use aqua again. BTW best beds ever. Thank you for the experience.

Thank you very much for this great review! We appreciate you and cannot wait to see you again soon! In our Rental Contract, we tell our guest prior to arrival to go online, purchase, and print their pass prior to arrival. Next time, you can contact Security for assistance at the kiosk as they manage parking and are on-site 24 hours a day. Thank you, Aqua-Aronov Resort Management.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have friends that have been staying at Aqua for years. We love to go to all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean so this was our first spring break experience in PCB and Aqua. We had a fantastic time. Unit 1106 was as described. It was very clean and all of the amenities that we needed were in the unit. We were very happy with this unit. Check in process was seamless. The management company was great. We didn't need them for anything, but they called to check on us the day after our arrival.Once we parked the car in the parking garage - it stayed there. We were able to walk anywhere we wanted to go.I would definitely stay here again!

Nice Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I stayed in the condo for 4 nights. It looked just like the pictures. Everything was nice and clean. Price was very good. The only thing is the washer and dryer needs to be replaced. The dryer doesn't dry your clothes very well and I couldn't get the door to open to get my clothes out of the washing machine.I waited a few hours and went back to see if the door opened and at that time it did. After that I decided to wash my clothes once I got home. Also when you close the door where the washing machine and dryer is located, the door touches the knobs of the washing machine without you knowing. Make sure you dont accidentally touch the knobs with the door when closing because it will change the cycle that you set on the washing machine. Besides that this is truly a nice condo to stay at. I will recommend to family and friends.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at the Aqua for many years and rented through VRBO. A few years back we were told we had to rent through Aqua. It has been different and not in a good way. We fly in most times and rent a car. They encourage you to register your car and print your passes before you get there. That would be great if you knew what your rental car license number would be. So if you do it after you have to use their kiosk and the charge is $40 instead of $35. We arrived an hour and a half early and checked to see if our condo was ready. It was but they wanted to charge $100.00 for early check in. I couldn’t believe it. We travel a lot and rent condos, nice condos. This is the worst! Usually Get out have coffee time with Bobo to beach condos have beach towels, none. Usually you have a starter packet or two of coffee, small dish soap, trash bag or two, enough to help you make it until you get to the store. I didn’t feel valued as a loyal customer. Therefore I won’t be in the future. Our condo was clean but I talked to others that had to have their’s recleaned. Very disappointing experience.
Response from VrboOwner on 7 Jul 2024
Thank you for your feedback. We are available on-site seven days a week 8:30AM – 5:00PM. Please contact the front desk during your stay next time so we can have your issues resolved. The parking is managed separately through the building HOA, and we as a management company have no control over the parking, the kiosk or the cost of parking. We do always encourage our guests to get their passes before arrival to not pay the extra $5 at the kiosk and inform them that they can put their car tag info on there to obtain the pass and then once they have their rental car we can hand write the new information on the printout. Beach towels if supplied, are also done so by the resort, not the rental management companies, and Aqua has never supplied beach towels. We'll share these comments with the Aqua HOA manager. The early check-in fee is a new policy to offset the demand on our Housekeeping and Maintenance staffs as Everyone arriving wants to get into their unit as early as possible. Your feedback has been forwarded to our rental manager regarding this fee. We do supply "starter" items so there is one trash liner in garbage cans, a roll of toilet paper in each of the bathrooms, etc. Again, had you reached out to us at the front desk, we are more than happy to provide one or two more items until you can get to the store and supply your own. We value all of our guests! We hate that we did not meet your expectations and hope you'll consider giving us another try in the future! Aqua - Aronov Resort Management.
