Last Time At Martinique
We have stayed at Martinique numerous times, but this will probably be our last. It seems that the HOA really doesn't want renters in their community. Marisol was a clean house with a nice lay-out and perfect for our group of nine. As most of the homes in Martinique, they are showing their age, and in need of some upgrades. The most obvious at Marisol was the carpet. It was really old and dirty with lots of stains. This however, didn't affect our stay. One of the biggest problems in Martinique is the parking situation. It seems that this year, they are really cracking down on the number of vehicles per rental. With many of the units housing 10 to 13 people, two cars is really not doable. Our family had multiple cars for various reasons, ranging from some leaving early or others arriving late. It was quite inconvenient to pay extra to park vehicles off-site and pay extra for that privilege. The threats of fines and expulsion from the property were off-putting, as well as the fact that the golf cart driver had to be at least 21 due to insurance purposes. Again, we love Martinique, but it seems that the rules changed concerning parking. In the past, we had paid for additional decals and parked either at the pool or at the condo lot. We could have done that this year, as there was plenty of spaces available, and we were there on one of the peak weeks of the season. So, we won't be planning our Thanksgiving trip to Martinique this year or our summer vacation next year!
