Furniture and room, bathroom was very outdated. Smelled funny inside. Cleaning staff left cleaning supplies. The hotel grounds are huge and it felt very empty. The rooms are large. No shampoo or soap provided and shower had some animal poop. The restaurant staff was ok but not the friendliest. Minimal vegan options at the restaurants. Breakfast was also not the best. Rice and beans had minimal flavor, fruit was good but for a vegan not many other options such as bread or avocado.

Club Martino is beyond excellent. This was my tenth and best stay. The pool is magnificent and the crew keeps it spotless even going so far as to scrub the pool deck with soap! The staff is effective, effeciebt and constantly cheerful. The rooms are wonderful with lovely hand carved furniture pieces. The restaurant is reliable and reasonable. Making reservations for next year before I leave.

The villa was nice. However, the bed was in such bad condition I had to sleep in the couch outside. The TV had terrible signal, so it was nearly impossible to watch and I had no coffee maker in the room. I did ask for one, but late at night I realized I had no filters, so I couldn't use it.
