Hotel Excelsior Venice

Hotel is in a great location on the beach. We had booked a deluxe sea side room and received an upgrade to a junior suite which was a bit hidden behind a tree though. Overall very nice for summer time with huge sunshine. Check in was perfect and Claudia introduces us to house and room. Room service was really great and we received our breakfast in the room on time and well prepared. A fantastic start of the day. The restaurants are just great. The 2* dining is a recommendable experience and the sea bass is just magnificent. Tiramisu was prepared by the Chief himself on our table. So great to have some words with him. The Blue bar is so awesome for food, sea side view and relaxing. The staff is very friendly that we could only enjoy it. Thanks so much. Pool is good and long for swimming and has a nice green. Towels are there and service is always around. Always a space to find. Water shuttle to the city goes frequently and we had no crowded boat. At peak the hotel used 3 boats although embarking in Venice city is like New York central station. No complain from us - and this was in early August. Well - Venice itself is quite crowded and early morning or evening trips are more pleasant. Last our checkout at 5.30am was flawless and we got our food package as discussed. Overall a relaxing stay in a magnificent and laid back atmosphere. We will come back..

Some minor things: The fitness room could have some more “machines”. The communication with cleaning service was sometimes wicked - well English is no mother tongue for all of us ;-) and maybe you let the mosquitoes out only after 11pm ;-)

Loved the pool

Needed more work out equipment
