A beautiful classic property with a huge pool, great beach with cabanas on a sandy beach and calm warm waters of the gulf of Venice. Wonderful courteous staff in all areas with a great buffet breakfast included with your stay. However I found the food service poor with high prices and sub standard service. Food choices were not great and much too pricey for the quality of food and amounts of food served. The boat service from 9am till 1130 pm with boats running every half hour to and from Venice proper was the greatest feature. You could go into Venice at any time of the day and return by 1130 pm. Shop,eat at a multiple variety of places at a multiple variety of prices at your convenience. Truly a great hotel and a great vacation!

I had booked a sea view suite as a treat. £500 per night. We were greeted at the desk in a very off-hand manner and shown to the lift and handed our keys. We found our room, but access to the balcony was locked. Apparently to access this, we had to go back downstairs, sign a waiver accepting carte blanche liability and go back up with a key! The room itself was tired with carpet stains and in need of renovation. The shower (over the bath) needed de-limescaling to work properly and the plug was slow to drain. A coffee machine was provided with 4 coffee pods for our entire stay. More were available at an extortionate price! The minibar had various bottles of water and soda which would be replenished again only at a price. The swimming pool was good and beds comfortable but any refreshments were eye-wateringly expensive (twice any other bar). Consequently we went out for refreshments and meals. However, the hotel is not in a great location for bars or restaurants. Luckily, we found BAGNO MARCONI a little further up the beach. Amazing.

The Excelsior is an extraordinary experience. A beautiful property, great beach, superb restaurants, wonderful ambience, with frequent boat service to Venice. The staff do a great job. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. Expensive but worth the splurge. An unparalleled beach and pool experience by day and the magic of Venice at night. Strongly recommended!

The property is beautiful, but the rooms are outdated. The swimming pool is only open until 7pm (and you have to leave the pool at 7pm, you can’t even stay at your own risk) and the pool bar closes at 6pm. The price of a simple drink is 25 euros!!! The breakfast staff and the beach office staff were very friendly, however the concierge (the older gentleman) and some of the front desk staff are very stocked up. Breakfast is complementary, and it is delicious. The ferry takes you from the hotel to st. Mark’s square and back, however, you can’t even take a carry on with you on that ferry. Overall, it was a nice experience, however, for the price, next time I will look for a different hotel.

Overall good. Excellent breakfast buffet. Our classic double room was large but gloomy, comfortable but not luxurious. Staff varied from friendly and helpful to curt and dismissive. We did at times feel like we were inconveniencing the staff. We will probably try a different hotel next time although the Excelsior is ideally located for a beach holiday with transfers to the huddle and bustle of Venice.

Very expensive for what it is.Dated and clearly seasonal staff with no clue. The only good thing is the cabanas and the shuttle to Venice. There are rooms which have been modernised but it’s not explained in any booking information so you can’t know what you’ll get.

Simply wonderful, everything you want in a luxury hotel. The Excelsior is certainly a grand hotel, but because it’s on the beach it isn’t stuffy and strikes a perfect balance between luxurious and casual.

This hotel is absolutely beautiful and the service is impeccable. I only stayed 2 nights and really wish I could stay a whole week. It's a beautiful quaint haven away from the hustle and bustle of Venice, and the complimentary boat shuttle service to and from Venice was so convenient and perfect. It felt like I had my own personal water taxi at all times. The pool is also just as amazing. The poolside bar service is and the pool itself is huge overlooking the beach. Just another beautiful spot at the hotel to wind down for a couple hours after a day in Venice and before dinner. The complimentary breakfast was also top notch - they will make you whatever type of coffee you'd like and the pastries, fruit, cheeses, mimosas, yogurts, hot food was plentiful and really delicious - perfect way to start the day. The bar/restaurant at night had the best cocktails I've had in awhile. Shout out to Wilmore who had tremendous drink making skills and was just a pleasure. My room was also beautiful - vintage and charming, with Venetian glass adornments everywhere. The hotel is truly magnificent. Should be a 5 star hotel. Highly recommend

Bad service though not due to staff. Clearly management have cut corners and it shows. For example no water when you sit by the pool , no water in the room & if you stay 4 nights or 2 nights you get the same coffee allowance and if you need more they will not replenish for free but charge €15 a day. The rooms are very old and bathrooms have not been touched in decades Could be so much better.

Family beach getaway
We had the family suite and the two twin beds for my kids were tucked behind partial walls which gave the semblance of separation. We loved the peace after time in the bigger cities, and the amenities — the pool, the beach cabanas, and the breakfast buffet. We were helped book a water taxi to the train station for and there is a free boat to San Marco Square.
