We arrived here 4 days ago and I'm surprised at how quiet the hotel is, the beach is also very quiet, too quiet for us. The only area that seemed busy was the swimming pool, but that was just judged by the number of sun beds reserved with towels, much of which stayed unused during the days we sat out there. The pool service was a bit hit and miss, the staff were very friendly, but you had to go find them if you wanted to place an order. No food allowed by the pool was also a bit of a shock, only drinks were allowed. For 5 star prices, we expect 5 star service. The free shuttle boat to the main island is a big plus, mainly because there is very little to do at this hotel. It runs pretty much every 30 mins and we used it lots. Personally for us, this hotel is too remote, and too quiet. We should have stayed on the main Venice island. Our bedroom was very nice, good air con, clean, nice balcony, good mini bar. We walked to Granviale Santa Maria Elisabetta a few nights, this is a busy street for shopping and restaurants on the Lido, definitely worth checking it out.…

The hotel is not dog friendly. They ask to pay 50 euros per night for a dog, but the dog is not allowed to do anything. He's supposed to sit in the room and that's it. The service does not say good morning to the guest. Breakfasts are not good, boring. You wait 20 minutes for coffee and tea and you have to catch the waiters because they don't come by themselves. Tents on the beach terribly expensive: 100 to 430 Euro per day. Nice pool, but service unpleasant. You have to ask for everything. Very expensive hotel for the quality of service. Nice beach, wide, very warm water. The location of the hotel is very good - right on the beach. There are free boats to Venice that run every half hour.

We came over from the Gritti Palace, which puts this hotel to shame. The beach is nice and the water was warm and wonderful. The staff seemed very put off, from asking for drinks or a water taxi to the Gritti, be ready for an attitude. I thought it had some nice aspects, but the staff was very disappointing. Paid $115 Euro for a half day cabana, and they put us down on another property with no service.

We went to this hotel as a family for 3 nights and was expecting a 5 star hotel. The location and hotel is nice in itself. Of course the beach and the shuttle to venice is magnificient. The disappointment comes with the terrible and slow service and the overprice everything. We have stayed in many fine 5 star hotels and this is the first time, I experience such lousy service. For the price they charge and surplus for the beach cabanas, this hotel is not worth the money.

A fantastic location and very impressive building with great staff Although we did not stay in the hotel we actually visited their cabanas for a day on the beach. Great service , although a little expensive, and surprisingly quiet, with a only a few guests.. Each was good, clean, except for the odd jellyfish, but unfortunately even though we did experience an issue with our wallet being stolen on the beach, the staff could not have done anything more to help us, including free transport, writing off the day.’s bill, as we had no means to pay and instructed the local police who visited the scene as well. So even though we were seriously fed up with the theft, the hotel and their staff did all they could to t4y and make a bad situation better, so a big Thankyou to them all.

This is a glorious heritage building in a fabulous setting with a long sandy beach set on the Adriatic Sea. The hotel provides an excellent reliable Shuttle Boat service to San Marco about every half hour up until late in the evening. The food and service in the Adriatico Restaurant is of the highest quality. The staff are completely professional at all times although at busy times they are clearly understaffed. However, the food and service in the Blue Bar was a disaster without even the ability to cook a pizza properly. On a number of occasions two half masked Managers in business suits stood chatting throughout the evening while an excellent senior waiter with one very new apprentice tried and failed to keep up with food and wine demands. Breakfast ran like clockwork in terms of both waiting staff and kitchen. The background musical entertainment was of the highest quality.…

Many thanks to Lino and his team in the blue bar for making our stay so very special - food was delicious, the staff was friendly, courteous and even knew some German! We have shared a lot of brilliant memories here in the past with my grandparents, and the blue bar team did not disappoint in creating new fantastic ones. We are very much looking forward to our next stay!

Returned to the Excelsior for a long weekend in late May, 12 years after we spent our honeymoon here. Glad to report that it's as good as it used to be. The hotel is a bit like a luxurious ocean-liner of a bygone era, well maintained to preserve the charme, yet updated to meet the expectations of todays travellers. For us, the main advantage is staying on the beach in a seaside-resort (still quiet in May) and being in the (crowded) center of Venice within 15 minutes on the hotel's private courtesy boats (arriving right next to St. Mark's). Fantastic, especially when travelling with a child. After some tiring sightseeing in the morning and lunch in Venice, afternoon was spent relaxing at the large, heated outdoor pool, where kids make new friends and even parents get some rest. Breakfast was served in their beach-level bistro and it was excellent (selection and quality). Our room (241) was quiet, facing the Moorish courtyard, but smaller than other grand deluxe rooms we have stayed in previously. Also, the bathroom was rather small. On the other hand, the space for the extra-bed for our son was a bit separated, which was great. The room was perfectly clean and made-up twice daily. The concierges are taking perfect care of all your needs (from rental bicycles to difficult restaurant reservations). Note that it is a good idea to contact them already before arrival, especially for dinner reservations on Fri/Sat. Thanks Alessandro for still finding us a table! Alltogether highly recommended and we hope to return soon! One point of critique/suggestion: For some (legal?) reason, the courtesy boats are currently only allowed to take 12 passengers (which is about half the capacity). This means that at some times, you have to either be at the mooring 20 minutes before departure or you will have to wait 30 minutes for the next boat. Understandably, a lot of other quests were disappointed about that and I suppose this problem needs very urgent attention. After all, the boat to St. Mark's is one of the main advantages of the Excelsior and probably the only reason why guests mainly coming to Venice for sightseeing are staying here.…
