Rebuttal of poor review

We are a month away from our fifth stay at Casa Martia and as always, looking forward to our two weeks there. The casa is always very clean and well maintained. Martha and Jose are wonderful and help to make our stay pleasant and care free. We plan to continue our visits in the future as it is truly a five star experience.

We stayed 6/15/08 thru 6/27/08. We were stolen from repeatedly starting the day after we arrived. A video camera,cash on several occasions, an i-pod, a watch. No matter how careful we tried to be, every other day or so, something would come up missing. The house was always locked up tight, only the caretaker and cleaning staff had access. The owners seemed to try to blame us. I would never stay there again.

We found Casa Martia on the internet, so we weren't quite sure what to expect. We were more than pleasantly surprised to find that it was even better in person than we thought it would be. There were 3 couples on this trip, so the 3 master suites were ideal... all with large, private bathrooms and their own balcony. The kitchen was set up well and cooking was easy. We were glad not to have to go out for meals all the time.
Jose, the caretaker, made sure everything was just right and made sure to lock up when we forgot. Marta, our contact and housekeeper, did a fabulous job. Besides keeping everything clean, she was a great help in booking snorkeling trips. It was really nice to have a local to point us in the right direction when we wanted to do something.
We did enjoy the town a Peurto Morelos for dining, but truly spent most of our time at the casa pool and walking the beach. It was a beautiful place to relax. We'll be back!

The pictures don't do the house justice. You are literally one step off of the patio to the sand. No matter how hot it got, there was an awesome breeze under the pergola that kept us comfortable. Jose (the live-in groundskeeper) is the hardest working guy you could hope to meet. The rooms were huge. The grounds were meticulously kept. The kitchen was well equipped. In short, it was better than I had expected. The toughest part of the day was deciding if we should go in the pool or the ocean! I want to bring my whole family back someday.

What a great location, probably the best place we've ever stayed at on vacation. There were a few surprises:
The house is bigger and roomier than we expected,
The website photos don't do the place justice,
The local staff was great,
It was so secluded, quiet, and private,
The vegetation on the grounds was beautiful and served to provide privacy,
The house was well maintained and decorated,
The pool was great and the ocean was so close,
The owners are absolutely fantastic to work with,
Etc. etc. etc.
I'd like to recommend this location to everyone, but I'm afraid that it will become too popular and therefore less available for us in the future. So let's keep it a secret.
