To water or not to water

Just arrived for the Easter break, it was great to see that Andy's seems to still be doing well, especially as the restaurant run be the English family at the bottom of the hill has gone under and the pizza bar next door seems to be really struggling and looking really run down.

I am concerned that the gardens in and around Manzana 3 do not seem to be being looked after as well as they once were, more and more brown patches of grass are appearing and there are lots of empty areas in the flower beds. This is a worrying trend, as the gardens are one of the most appealing aspects of reserva.

Is this because watering is not happening as often as before or has replanting stopped, is it poor management or lack of resources, are those unpaid fees now having an obvious visual impact? 

and there is still dog mess around the place could the responcible dog owners have a word with those that don't seem to care or are you alo just ignored.

I was over in La Reserva last November and again in January.  I noticed the grass was yellowing then despite the fact that there had been a fair amount of rain about at that time so I don't think its a drought problem.  I queried it with the Administration and they said it was a seasonal thing.  However I have been there before at that time of year and never before noticed the grass being off colour.  I suspect it may be due to a lack of treatment - fertiliser.  This is also evidenced by the presence of clover.  It's a pity because the grass is generally kept well trimmed and it wouldn't cost a lot to run a few bags of fertiliser over it.
