Convenient beach access
Easy check-in, room was just like stated and no surprises, nice gym, right on the beach, easy/short walk to several restaurants. Really convenient location. Owner was quick to respond to any question I had. I would definitely not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks for a great vacay.

We enjoyed our stay at Marco polo
We have been in Marco Polo several times so we enjoy the place. Unfortunatelly the apartment had no place to put our clothes because drawers and other places were full with sheets, towels, etc. of David. Mattresses were not so good. David phoned me but he clould not get a solution for that. We could not use the balcony because was in reparation and the noise of that work was really upset.

IT IS A GOOD PLACE TO STAY LIKE IN YOUR OWN HOME. IF YOU SELECTED THE STUDIO OPTION IT IS BETTER BECAUSE YOU CAN COOK. THE PRICES AT THE CAFETERIA ARE VERY HIGH. THE HOTEL HAS SOME YEARS BUT YOU CAN BE CONFORTABLE.

The property was very clean, everything was available. I liked the view , it has a huge balcony.what I loved more is that the room has 2 queen bed and kitchen has microwave, fridge, cups, towels, I felt I’m home. And the owner so friendly and available at anytime time. And the hotel you have access for the pool and a private beach. Very safe . I recommend it to everyone. I’ll definitely comeback . Thank you I had an amazing vacation

Property is not what is pictured
We arrived later than expected due to a delayed flight. The room key was just slip under the side of the door. When we walked in and turned on the lights it was a nightmare. There where white stains on the navy blue bedding, stains and holes in the curtains. The bathtub was peeling and the ceiling had water damage. The kitchen appliances still had food and greasy fingerprints. The air intakes were caked with dust. The luggage rack was broken and left in the room. Chairs on the balcony had been broken and left there. There was writing and drawings on the balcony that were never removed. The floors had not been cleaned as there were still pony tail holders of the previous renters on the side of the bed. I was incredibly uncomfortable staying there and informed the owner. He was very apologetic as he said the housekeeper did not notify him of any of the issues. We decided to leave and go further north to Hollywood Beach.

Not true at all. All issues were fixed. This person puts bad feedback everywhere she goes. People are simply jealouse. She simply wanted a free night and when i confronted her, she turned and put a bad feedback !

Hidden Gem
My beat friend and I wanted a quick get away. She found this place and we booked immediately w/o reading any reviews. We were very skeptical after reading the reviews. Let me tell you we had the perfect weekend. The room was clean , had all of the amenities we needed. Plenty of towels, dishware, bedding, etc. The building was definitely older but everything was clean. Pool area and bar was our home for 3days ample chairs and umbrellas. Every staff member we encountered were friendly and helpful. 10 steps from the pool to the beautiful beach with crystal clear water. If you are looking for a low key resort with a room that is beyond reasonable price this rental is for you. If you are interested in fabulous restaurants or night life just hop on the free public transit system or Uber for a reasonable charge. I have over 25yrs in the hospitality industry at two of the top hotel chains in the world I know the challenges that the Covid pandemic has presented for our industry. Marco Polo Staff and this specific property manager surely have what it takes to make us all happy travelers again!!!

Don’t be deceived
The property while in a descent area, is nothing like the photos. The room is filthy, missing light bulbs, bathroom door doesn’t close, broken chairs on the patio. The owner made recommendations to not rent a car because Everything is in walking distance and nothing is. He bypassed the check in process and we had no access to the pool or gym. We found out from the building/ hotel, that he is to check us in to the building to gain access to the facilities and parking and instead the owner recommend not renting a car because he was hoping to bypass the process all together. They informed us that the owner knows better and that they would be contacting him. When contacted him about the issues but he only made promises that our next stay, he would make sure we stayed at the Hilton and blamed the pandemic for the poor quality of the room. We made the best of it, after all it was paid for but will never stay with this owner again and highly recommend you looking Elsewhere!

Great Location/OK Property
Location has everything, restaurants, grocery stores, Beautiful Mall within minutes. Plenty of chairs around pool, nice beach area. The owner was very easy to work with and responded very quickly to any of our questions. The beds were very comfortable. The property is showing its age, but it was all we needed. There is a gift shop and the lobby is very nice and includes a nice little Coffee/ Deli shop.

The room was small and we had to clean the floor and all the dishes. Some lights was out and chair was broken and coffee maker was broken. We asked for different ones and didn't get any. The location was good food was only 15 min walk. The beach was small so we went to a different beach

Good people. Bad location.
The staff was very nice, and the building is right on the beach, with a nice pool, and good amenities throughout the building. The problem, is Miami-Dade County itself. There is no free parking (ANYWHERE), and any attractions, are very spread out. Nothing is easy access. If you just want to enjoy the beach, and pool, I highly recommend this place. If you're an angler like me, or you want somewhere with lots of attractions in walking distance, or a short drive, go another City/County.

Attractive area
Although it accommodates 4 people in this apartment it is more comfortable for 2. The balcony was a plus, you can take in all the street actions and sun late afternoons. Efficiently equipped. Location is very good all amenities are accessible. Heated swimming pool was a bonus especially on cool days. Beach is very nice especially if you enjoy long walks. Many shopping plazas and restaurants of different ethnic cuisine and vegetarian menus are within walking distance.

Fraud
Booked this property 6 weeks prior to the Super Bowl. Reservation confirmed, all payments confirmed. When we arrived we discovered that property wasn't available. There was no communication whatsoever prior to our arrival indicating that there was even the slightest issue with our reservation. We also found out that the owner is skirting the registration process of the hotel. I've used VRBO to rent properties all over the world and have never had an issue like this before. It's owners like this that give VRBO a bad name and will be the reason I think twice before using VRBO again. Buyer beware!
