General Comments

Club Martha's is a large hotel complex arranged in a figure of eight with two large, separate pools in the two loops. The pools are very busy and the water is slightly murky, but most importantly of all neither of them are overlooked by lifeguards. One pool includes a waterfall, from which children jump down into the water. The surface of the waterfall is very slippery and dangerous.

The breakfast buffet is good, offering various pastries, types of bread and condiments, and beverages. The breakfast buffet however closes at 9:00am, making it useless to any non-morning people (like myself).

The quality of the dinner buffet varies immensely, from good-quality and varied food one day to mundane and unsatisfactory the next. The buffet operates a fortnightly menu, one week of which is substatially better than the other. A staple of every meal however is chips which, although thin and dry, are often the only items found on a child's plate. The salad bar is the best part of the buffet every night, offering a large choice of vegetables and sides to go with your main meal. Dessert varies from day to day, but most desserts are centred around a type of sugary custard drizzled with syrup.

Martha's is centrally located in Cala Egos, between the main bar and shop street and the small (crowded but clean) beach. 9 out of 10 of the bars advertise themselves as British, serving British food and drink, but most bars also serve sangria and San Miguel. "Bogart's Music Bar" is easily the best bar in Cala Egos, offering strong and tasty sangria by the half-litre and quality live entertainment by night, as well as two projector screens, usually tuned to Sky Sports. Yates' is another good bar, serving roast beef on Sunday and alternating live entertainment with projected movies.

All rooms in the Martha's complex are identical. They are very simple, offering two beds and two sofas which are easily converted into beds. The beds are all hard and small, especially the sofa beds.
