Dissapointing
I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with my recent stay at Villa Nirwana, booked through Marriott Homes and Villas in May 2025. Our experience was far from the high standards that Marriott is known for, and I am deeply frustrated by the lack of response and resolution. Upon our arrival, the villa was in a deplorable state. The first thing we noticed was an overwhelming unpleasant smell, especially in the summer kitchen. The cleanliness of the property was appalling, with yellow-stained sheets, hairs on the bed, and no blankets provided. The kitchen facilities were in no better condition: the fridge had a terrible odor, the pots and pans were greasy, and the sandwich press was covered in grease. Additionally, the induction stove in the main kitchen was unusable with the provided pots and pans, while the second kitchen with a gas stove was filthy. The living and dining areas were equally disappointing, with dust webs and stained furniture. The bathrooms were in a truly unsanitary state, with dirty drawers, paper towels instead of toilet paper, and old hair in the yellowed shower stalls. The entire property smelled strongly when the water was turned on in the shower, making it almost unbearable to use. We even tried to avoid the bed and slept by the pool during the day as the living conditions were unacceptable. Despite multiple attempts to contact the property manager and the managing company, Agni Travel, no effective solution was provided. They sent a cleaner to change the bed sheets, but the larger issues, including the smell, cleanliness, and broken appliances, were ignored. Agni Travel dismissed the problems as "minor" and refused to make any meaningful improvements. Additionally, our attempts to resolve the issue with Marriott Homes and Villas were equally unhelpful. After spending over 90,000 points and \$200 on this disastrous experience, Marriott's response was a mere 16,000-point refund, which is completely insufficient given the severity of the situation. As a loyal customer of Marriott, I am deeply disappointed by the lack of accountability and support. This experience was not only frustrating but also a waste of time, money, and points. I request that Marriott take this matter seriously and offer a full refund for the \$200, as well as a more appropriate resolution for the disruption of our vacation. Given the poor handling of this situation, we no longer intend to book with Marriott in the future. I look forward to hearing back from you promptly.
