“I have been fortunate enough to have a career that has taken me all over the world, Tokyo, London, New York, Prague, Kuwait City and Paris to name a few locations. There are resorts and hotels all over the world that claim, “first class service” and they all have fallen short compared to the service that your front desk staff provides to your customers. Paige, Angela and Deb have made it their personal mission to ensure that my stay at Aqua was nothing less than perfect. Their professionalism and customer service is second to none. Truly world class!” Michael Bennett

 “We extended our stay by one day and the help provided by the young lady at the desk was exceptional! Aqua is a first class resort and we will definitely be back.” Joe Novotny

 “First time at Aqua and we love it…the staff was very helpful and friendly. We are already looking forward to our next visit.” Keith Morin
