“moderate hotel”

Marko Polo Hotel

Jul 14, 2008
0/1 found this review helpful

Marko Polo Hotel was clean and the air conditioning worked very well. From the research we did online this hotel seemed to be the best option in Korcula. It was the most expensive hotel we stayed at during our 10 night stay throughout Croatia and the accomodations are only ok. The front desk wasn't very helpful and every other hotel we stayed at the service was unbelievable. There is no beach at the Marko Polo, we had to go the hotel next door. You have to pay a deposit at the front desk for beach towels which i thought was odd since the hotel has a pool. Overall, it's a moderate hotel with luxury hotel prices.

“Avoid”

Marko Polo Hotel

Jul 13, 2008
0/1 found this review helpful

Booked a superior seaview room. When we arrived, we were given a standard room with a view of the building next door. You could kind of see a sliver of sea if you leaned out and craned your neck. Rather than admitting their mistake, hotel staff, including the manager, claimed that it was a superior seaview room. After we argued with them 3 different times, they finally conceded that we did not receive the room we paid for, and refunded us the difference in price. I hear the actual seaviews are great. I would have liked to find out for myself. Decor and service harkened back to the Tito era. I can confirm the prior comments about an unpleasant odor, too. At least the A/C worked. The same company owns all 5 hotels on Korcula and, believe it or not, this is supposed to be the best. I'd strongly recommend booking a nice sobe (private room) for your Korcula stay.

“SAGA Central”

Marko Polo Hotel

Jun 7, 2008
1/3 found this review helpful

Initial impression of the hotel was that it was pretty swanky but this sheen soon wore off when we entered our Double Sea View room. We were immediately overcome by the smell from bad drainage which had been unsuccessfully masked by an extremely noxious amount of air freshener. In an attempt to bring in fresh air we opened our window to find not so much of a sea view as we were led to believe...one would need to strain one's neck considerably to get any glimpse of the sea from that room. The room itself was generally clean which was a plus.

If you're looking for a lively place to stay then this is definitely not the place for you. When we entered the dining room in the evening we clearly lowered the average age considerably...I'd say by 3 decades. The Marko Polo is most definitely the hotel of choice for Saga and their equivalent group holidays.

Wouldn't recommend the half-board option (I think this was the only option we were given on Expedia.) The evening selection was mediocre and canteen like. Breakfast proved slightly better.

Overall I would say this is quite overpriced but hardly a surprise given the few hotels in the area. I'd say go with a Sobe (guest house) option if you look to stay in Korcula. I think you would get better value for money and a more authentic island experience.

P.S. I think they've used a little artistic license with their photo used on such internet websites!
