Me and my family have just come back from a week at Marco Polo. As a family we had a good time but this was solely due to quality family time. The hotel, facilities and experiences were very worrying to say the least. I felt intimidated by locals and people from the same ethnic origin, getting looked down on and disrespected . I strongly believe that all off the 3*+ reviews are from fake accounts and locals. When we arrived we had to wait 40 mins be seen . From the moment the reception staff made it very clear how they felt about foreigners arriving at their hotel. Our 2 year old son was not left with a cot in our room upon arrival. We requested to this to be put in 3 times (each time being told it would arrive in 10 mins) fast forward 3 hours once it was my sons bedtime and I had to get someone from reception to come from behind the desk and me escorting them to our room. Restaurant staff are very friendly, I gave one waiter a 10 dinar tip after 2 days and had he felt it wasn’t enough he gave us the cold shoulder for the rest of the holiday. The food is catered to locals only, I had pizza and chips twice a day for the whole time I was there. I tried some traditional dishes which were cold and undercooked. We had to ask for high chairs to be cleaned when we arrived as every one still had food from the previous babies sat in them. One night there were rumours that a wealthy family were eating at the hotel, for one night only the hotel pulled all of the stops out having a 30 min meeting prior to the sitting, once the restaurant opened there was delicious food, freshly carved lamb from the head chef and all of the food was faultless. This was more of an insult than good as it shows the potential of this hotel and they did not fufil this for the full stay. To add fuel to the fire, on this night they hired a professional singer to perform 7-9 which was beautiful. To add again this did not happen for the other 6 nights as these particular guests were not present. For early birds or anyone who wants a morning drink this place is not for you, you are unable to get a drink from the bar before 10, in other hotels this is okay as there is coffee and soft drink for breakfast but the standard is awful, my 2 year old couldn’t have anything to drink until 10am which is worrying in 30 degree heat. The room towels are not changed daily, in our room we had a broken toilet seat and lamps hanging off the wall. This was the case until we arrived one night before we was due to leave with lovely towel art on the bed with petals and everything broken in the room fixed. This was more of an insult than help, expecting a tip once we leave. Bar staff are friendly and great along with the entertainment team during the day who had a really positive vibe. We had a double room with a sea view which was great however the kids show started at 9pm most nights followed by the main act which went on until midnight. This was obviously too late for my little one and was awful
