We stayed at the Aquarium for 2 weeks. Unless you like diving and snorelling there is nothing to do on the island. Shopping is limited to a few expensive name brand stores and the rest are liquor and duty free chocolates. And the stores close at 8:00 p.m. There are a few casinos with only 6 - 8 machines. There... more

Just arrived back from a week in SAI with my 3 girlfriends all in our 40's. Stayed at the Aquarium and believe that was absolutely the right choice for us. We contimplated staying at the Marazul but thought the location of the Aquarium would be better and we really feel it was. It was so nice just to go downtown... more

So we stayed at the Aquarium during dec. 30th to Jan. 3rd. We had a nice time, the hotel staff was very polite and helpful, I think that and the food are the best things about the hotel. The food was pretty good. You have to book early to get into some of the restaurants, we had a hard time... more

We left December 27th and returned January 3, 2008 Average hotel - not 4 star - and only because it needs updating and they are starting to rennovate. As far as cleanliness and place to lay your head at night it was just great. The swim up bar is definately closed and I'm thinking for some time too; they have... more

A friend of mine and I stayed at Royal Decameron Acquarium for 1 week. We simply loved it. The resort is quite old and going through some renowation, but it is extremely clean and staff is very well organized and professional. It took us few minutes to check in and we got an amazing ocean view room. We enjoyed the... more

We have just returned from spending 2 weeks at the Aquarium. Stayed here 2 yrs ago but was not as great as this year, they are putting a lot of work into improving this hotel. Disappointed at the fact that the swim up bar was not open due to construction. They are renovating the largest pod which is right above... more

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights (all-inclusive) as part of a longer visit to Colombia booked through a travel agent. Our visit was during the rainy season, and while there were other guests there, the hotel didn't seem overrun. I imagine during peak season, however, the place could get quite hectic. In general the hotel seemed a little... more

I've just been reading some of the other reviews and I have to say that they are pretty accurate. Me and my family stayed at the resort for three days, and although checking in is an absolute nightmare, booking your meals is a disaster if you plan to sleep in later than 8am and then the food is not great... more
