"We had a wonderful stay at Aqua Resort. The view is absolutely beautiful, our room was very clean, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming as well. The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed our time there. The only downside was that when we returned to our villa at night, there were no lights outside the room, and the pool lights were also off. It made it difficult to walk around safely after dark. Other than that, we had a great experience and would recommend this resort."
