This is a rough one to review. It is the PERFECT place for us and we just extended our stay and plan to come back again. That said, you have to get the scoop. This,is a sister project to the Embassy Suites. They both shate almost everything. You can pay literally double and stay at the well advertised Embassy suites... More

Was pleasantly surprised with the accommodations. The one bedroom with living room/sofa bed offers a full kitchen that affords plenty of space for a small family. The stay comes with use of embassy suites pool and beach. Although very clean, the condo could use a bit of updating and is the only reason I gave it an average rating. More

After reading some of the negative reviews I was quite reluctant to book a reservation at this hotel but I must say I was pleasently surprised. After more than 20 minutes looking for the entrance which is not properly indentified we arrived to the parking area were greeted by a security guard who was checking a list to make sure... More

After reading some of the poor reviews I had to chime in. We picked this hotel based on the price and location. We were so pleasantly surprised. The room was AMAZING. The amenities were plentiful, and the staff was very helpful. For the price that we paid we were shocked. The only downfall of the week was the unexpected parking... More

We spent a week at this hotel while visiting Puerto Rico and greatly enjoyed our stay. It was somewhat difficult to find the hotel when we first arrived. To reach the hotel, one needs to enter a gated community and drive to the end of the road. The property is shared with a larger/ more expensive hotel. This is quite... More

I am pretty open minded about places to visit. There were some good things and some bad. We did rent from a time share owner so we ended up getting the breakfast and the happy hour everyday. That was very good. We did have to wear bracelets that said Aquarius on them but not sure why because most people didn't... More

Terrible, Terrible, and it's a shame they don't maintain it because it has spectacular views from the rooms. The pool is beautiful. Stained towels, no vacuum in the rooms, stinky hotel halls, and they forgot to clean my room for 2 days. Our bed coverlets were stained, check them...nasty! I was so disappointed for my first time staying at a... More

Golden Sands Villas is a good option for budget conscious travelers. Property & amenities: Golden Sands Villas (GSV), a.k.a., Aquarius Clubs is the time share arm of Embassy Suites (ES). The entrance to Golden Sands is directly behind the main entrance to Embassy Suites and the signage is extremely poor. Follow the signs to Embassy Suites. They share all amenities... More
