Advantages: luxury, stylish, very clean

Disadvantages: Germans get preferential treatment over English

This was our 2nd trip to Venice and by no means were we disappointed with our allocated Hotel. We had been given an upgrade since the Hotel we were supposed to have been staying in was over booked. Compared to the Hotel Aquileia which we had stayed in last year this was pure luxury.

On arrival we were delighted with the small but very stylish pool area, the room was fantastic, loads of storage space, a fridge, a safe, air conditioning, t.v. very posh bathroom with proper corner shower and a really long balcony.
I say proper shower because in Venice they usually have very basic showering facilities, ie. the shower is usually in between the toilet and sink with a drain hole in the middle of the room and everything in the bathroom gets wet including loo rolls!

The dining room was fairly elaborate, but the best tables had definately been given to the Germans, we got put round a corner but didn't mind because it was quieter and fairly romantic.
Food was excellent, I felt like I had been to a health farm as the portions were just right and every dish was delicious, my fiance however was left feeling hungry and disappointed with his selected choice of the menus.

The maids came every day but Sunday to clean and the bed linen was changed on every occassion, very nice, and the towels were changed twice a day! yes twice, on an evening they would come back round before you went for your evening meal to ask if you would like fresh towels and a new bathmat.

The only reservation I have about the Italians is that they can be quite rude, unless you are very loud and in their face, which they seem to prefer.
It is wrong that they dont give as good a service to the English just because Germans are renowned for tipping bigger, how will they ever know what you were to tip them, had they given you as good a treatment? you kind of feel like right I won't bother then... the Italians certainly do not tip, they have the attitude that they are getting paid in any case and it's their country so why bother.

I have read other people's reviews on Lido Di Jesolo and some have compared it to the likes of Blackpool, this is totally unfounded in the areas we have stayed, and we have been twice now. I can not imagine where they had stayed because Blackpool it certainly is not! It's a place where you can feel nice and relaxed with no worries and the surroundings are usually very clean and stylish.

Venice being just a short bus trip and a ferry away, Lido Di Jesolo is the perfect resort for romantic couples and families alike to enjoy the perfect beach holiday with fascinating days out to places such as Croatia. Venice by day or night is simply magical. It is relatively cheap to go Island hopping, Murano, for it's famous glass, Burrano for a truely unspoilt Island, get the ferry over to Venice one evening and soak up the truely romantic atmosphere, you won't be disappointed! There are usually 3 orchestras which take turn in what seems to be an amusing competion with one another, each one takes their turn to out do the last. The history and the architecture combined with the atmosphere is a totally unique experience, it is for everyone whether you are young or old, rich or poor.
