    I always enjoy my visit to Aquarius. Yesterday was ine of my lesser enjoyable visits. The staff was marvelous, the food however was not what I am used to. The Lady behind the serving part of the buffet was clearly overwhelmed. She was by herself. It could also be the time slot we choose. We weren’t asked to leave, but it was made very clear by all the excessive noise made by clearing away the utensils, dishes, etc what it was expected for us to leave. Even the vacuuming was part of those hints. And of course, I completely understand, the restaurant needed to be ready for the dinner crowd. It would’ve been appreciated though if we were told when we sat down, that we had exactly 1,5 hour to lunch. I do want to emphasize that the service at the table was wonderful. And I will be returning of course, however I will no longer choose the 2pm lunch option.

    Excellent experience… the lunch buffet was outstanding. From sushi to meat and a wonderful salad bar, everything was flavorful and well prepared. There were options for all with a wonderful dessert bar included. The staff was attentive and helpful. Highly recommended!

    This was a wonderful experience! From the moment we walked in the door we were welcomed, catered to and pampered! The food choices were excellent and so delicious. Everything was spotless and beautifully presented! You could linger and were never rushed. We would come back again!

    There is an abundance of food, lobster tails were tough one night, very sweet and tender the second day. Most of the food is tasty. Desserts are not appealing, everything in a mini jar. The only worthwhile dessert was the ice cream. Service is spotty, staff is lovely and friendly but not all that visible. When someone finally arrives and you ask for some, you just wait! And wait!

    It’s like a Golden Corral but for seafood. Too many seating spots and hoards of people. Food was edible but nothing memorable. We will NEVER go back.

    Buffet food - the lobster was good but rest pretty subpar. Have to be better options on the island. Service was between slow and nonexistent.
