The property is in a great location on the beach but as a 5*L hotel it was let down in several areas. Restaurant and bar staff were efficient but not very engaging. Hotel let down by details such as we had to ask repeatedly for tea and coffee to be supplied to the room. Meals and drinks were far too expensive and we had to eat out every night due to the cost and lack of real choice in the menu. On the positive side the pool area and beach were excellent as was the hotel shuttle to Venice. Overall the hotel lets itself down in the details which make all the difference to a holiday and it could be so much better.

Incroyable

What an incredible service! Andrea, the concierge, was amazing in helping us with transportation in Venice. The hotel-provided transport was easy to access, and even the external transport we had booked was double-checked and confirmed for us. Hats off to Andrea! And what can I say about this hotel? The service is outstanding, the staff are so warm and welcoming. It’s phenomenal to enjoy both sides of the island – the sea on one side and Venice on the other. We truly appreciated being able to relax and soak up the sun. Highly recommended

It took roughly over an hour for them to find our reservation in their system. We requested an ocean view room and they gave us a garden view room and argued saying it was ocean view. I had to request another room … mind you this argument with them was an hour waiting around for our booking confirmation. Check in was overall terrible.. you’d expect more from a 5* hotel and at the price we paid.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Excelsior. This was our first time in Venice and the first stay of our honeymoon and it was a great experience! We enjoyed using the provided boat taxi to and from Venice, along with the private beach access and dining options at the hotel. Breakfast in the morning was also great. We would recommend this stay for a trip to Venice!

This property although very grand and lovely in the common areas, our room was extremely dated. The carpets were covered in stains, bathroom tiles were cracked, plaster work in bathrooms looked very old. Some of the PowerPoints didn’t work. There were minimal power points making it hard to charge multiple devices. Room was large. Buffet breakfast had great options. Staff were friendly. However food, drinks and services offered by the hotel such as laundry and transfers were extremely expensive. It was nice to be staying on a quieter island as opposed to the main island of Venice, as it was extremely crowded and would have been horrible to wheel a suitcase through. The free boat taking you to the main island of Venice and back was lovely and so convenient. I would not say the stay was worth the average $700 AUD per night we paid. However the cheaper options in Venice also looked extremely dated and cramped so probably wouldn’t have been any better. A note that Taxi’s on the island would only take cash which was quite frustrating as I was forced to walk to a bank to get cash out which charged €4 just to get cash out. Also the taxi driver did not mention this until after we arrived at our destination. We found a few nice meal options within a 20 minute walk of the hotel which was a better option than the very expensive hotel options. Also, a quick note that we ended up using the Aliguana Ferry to get from the airport to Lido and then a taxi from the port to the hotel.
