“Beautiful hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 17, 2013

The hotel is on top of a hill overlooking Cebu City proper. It has all the amenities of a five star hotel. The room is big. The staff is friendly and nice. They see to it that one is comfortable. We only had a problem with their wifi connection. It is slow. But overall we felt safe and relaxed at the hotel. We love the pool area with jacuzzi.

“Good, but not great.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 16, 2013

We stayed during Chinese Lunar New Year. They had activities in the lobby such as the lion and dragon dances, etc. It was fun! They fed the guests free tea and Chinese delicacies.

The staff is friendly, charming, and very professional. The lobby is quite impressive. The rooms are average and in need of refurbishing but clean and the beds are comfortable! Water pressure in the loo is good too.

We ordered room service. The food was good, the prices were very reasonable and the servings were huge! Disappointingly, it took them about an hour to bring the food up from the time we placed the order.

We enjoyed the buffet breakfast a lot. The food tasted good and they had a pancake/waffle station, a bread station, a salad station, a dim sum station, a noodle soup station, a continental and asian breakfast station and an egg station. Yum!

Make sure you visit the Penthouse. The al fresco resto-bar has fabulous views of Cebu city! Its nice and breezy and the food isnt so bad. It can be pricey though.

The hotel is located on a hillside but it is hardly secluded. There are lots of homes and establishments in the area so it can get noisy. Tourists will need to take cabs to the city proper. Ask the doormen to get you a cab. It isnt too expensive and you're bound to reach your destination faster than if you take a jeep. Walking to the city is NOT an option. Its just too far.

Room Tip: For the mean time, avoid the sea view rooms because its quite noisy due to the construction of a con...

“Excellent 5 stars!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 16, 2013

A little out of town, but only a ten minute taxi ride into the heart of Cebu. Rooms are top quality, restaurant is very pleasant and food is top quality. Breakfast is a vast selection of items for all tastes and finishes at 10.30, so you dont need to wake too early.
Swimiing pool in very nice. Everthing is high quality here, and can be booked for a reasonable price for what you get. I would never hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone.

Room Tip: I think there are sea views and mountain views. Mine had a sea view and was excellent.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

It is a beautiful hotel, the staff was so friendly and the rooms were amazing! There's even a free buffet in the penthouse if you stay in certain rooms. I stayed here for a week. There's also a l little gift shop.

Room Tip: The rooms from a certain floor and up have a free buffet in the penthouse.

“Marco Polo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 13, 2013

Had another long and excellent stay at the Marco Polo. Some noise from the nearby construction during the day, but street and vehicle noise at other Hotel can be worse, also all day and night. Thanks to Hans Hauri and Family, Victor and all the hard working and excellent Staff.

Room Tip: Use the Shuttle Service, but give advance notice as requested by the Hotel so that they have accurat...
