• Lee from Ireland – 26 September 2024 (9/10)

  Beautiful and historic hotel. Rooms spacious and comfortable.
  On the beach and with a 30m swimming pool, gym and a great bar on a terrace overlooking the sea. The staff are wonderful and the food excellent. Shuttle boat to Piazza San Marco.
  
  What could be improved: Swimming Pool opening hours: 9am to 7pm. It would be great if it opened at 7am or even 8am, 9am is really late. We would have liked to swim before breakfast.

• Elaine from United Kingdom – 23 September 2024 (9/10)

  We were given an upgrade to the junior suite facing the sea which was fabulous. The breakfast was amazing. Location superb. The hotel is beautiful and so iconic. Wonderful to be so close to the sea. The complementary regular boat to San Marco was an unexpected bonus.

• Janne from Denmark – 1 August 2024 (9/10)

  Perfect location , great facilities and a beautiful hotel
  I upgraded to a room with balcony and sea view, which was fantastic
  Excellent every half-hour shuttle boat to St Marco
  Staff was on top of things and very kind and service minded – across restaurants/bar, pool area , reception and concierge. You feel at home and appreciated
  
  What could be improved: Eating and drinking at the hotel is expensive – but you have the option to boarder the shuttle boat (included in the rate) and find cheaper options
  Minor things, but part of the difference between “9” and “10” was that soap etc was not replaced when empty
  The balcony could have been better used with 2 outdoor chairs
  On sustainability, I suggest the lightening should not be put on after cleaning during the day and that towels should not be replacement when not on the floor
  On the face of it, a great arrangement with a vendor for a boat trip to Murano and Burano, as suggested by the concierge, but I suggest that you in stead book a non-vendor tour or just jump on/off the local ferry (you have to find your way back in any event and you would have seen more of the islands)

• Jill from United States – 22 July 2024 (9/10)

  The beach cabanas and comfortable beds/sheets
  
  What could be improved: The food was expensive
