My stay at Agua Hotels Riverside was quite a mix of experiences. The hotel is set in a beautiful location by the river, which provided stunning views, especially during the evenings. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, making my stay comfortable. However, I did encounter slow service during dining, which took away from the overall enjoyment.
