Martas Hotel

I agree with all the other reviews. They are accurate. Very charming. Several two story cottages around a pool. Lovely grounds. Responsive staff. Above average breakfast was included. Downside: Stairs. Very steep. shallow steps (only half my foot deep). Think sailboat steps. The only bathroom is downstairs. Downstairs has a large daybed adjacent to the bathroom door. No A/C unit downstairs, just a fan. I will say the bedroom upstairs with a king bed is a big room and A/C works fine. I liked the location one block off of the main commercial street. I think I would look further before I stayed there again. The place had a nice feel to it. Families were there. Couples. Quiet.

After a little confusion at check-in with our room not being ready due to them allowing previous guests to stay past their check-out, we were finally allowed to get into our room. Our bungalow was quant with a big porch sitting area. Inside on the downstairs level is the bathroom, which was laid out interestly. Upstairs is the bedroom. The stairs are very narrow, and one must be very careful going up and down them. Our friend who stayed in a separate bungalow fell down them, so it is a likely event. The water pressure is not great in the sink, toilet or shower. The bed was very comfortable, but the pillows were a little too overstuffed, making them a bit awkward. The daily breakfast was good and made to order. The pool and pool area was refreshing and relaxing. The longer we stayed there, the more the place grew on us. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there. The location seemed to be far enough away from the party bars along the beach that you didn't hear too much noise at night, but you could hear other guests in the bungalows nearby and party revelers walking by at night.
