4/10 Fair

Furniture and room, bathroom was very outdated.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.

This is a wonderful resort hotel with a nice pool and good restaurant that serves some of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. Very attentive staff. Well maintained, clean grounds, large rooms with beautiful traditional woodwork. The only negative is our bathroom/shower was a little dated.

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.
