I had a delightful stay at the hotel with some remarkable aspects like the spacious rooms and beautiful river views from the balcony. The complimentary breakfast was quite generous with a variety of choices, but I felt the coffee could use some improvement. Overall, it's a good value for money; however, some minor issues like soundproofing could be worked on.

My stay at Agua Hotels Riverside was quite the experience! The hotel features spacious rooms with lovely views, and the infinity pool added a delightful touch to my holiday. The breakfast was plentiful and tasty, although I found the coffee lacking. The location may present some challenges, as venturing to nearby attractions required either a car or a ride-sharing service. Overall, it's a great value for a spa getaway, but convenience might be a slight issue for some.

Agua Hotels Riverside offers large rooms with stunning views, but the overall experience was marred by poor service and disappointing dining options. The ambiance promised a lot, yet the execution fell short with cheap facilities. While the staff's friendliness stood out, the inconsistent dining experience and limited bar options make it hard to recommend for future stays.
