Escape to Paradise: Hotel Al Mare, Lido di Jesolo Awaits! – A Review (With a Side of Reality)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans on Escape to Paradise: Hotel Al Mare, Lido di Jesolo Awaits! And trust me, after a week there, I've got opinions. This ain't your sanitized, corporate-speak review; this is real talk, with all the messy glory of a week spent chasing sun and gelato. (Spoiler alert: I found both.)
First Impressions - The Accessibility Question:
So, right off the bat, let's address the elephant in the room: Accessibility. Apparently, Hotel Al Mare is aiming for inclusivity, which is a HUGE plus. They say they have "Facilities for disabled guests" which sounds promising. Did I see a ton of wheelchair users gliding around? Nope. But then again, I wasn't looking for them specifically either. Elevator: Check. Crucial for those of us who like our rooms above the ground floor. I'd recommend contacting the hotel directly though to confirm specifics based on your individual needs. Because let's be honest, "facilities for disabled guests" can mean a whole range of things, from a ramp to a full-blown accessible suite. It's always best to verify!
Safety First, Vacation Second (or Maybe Simultaneously?):
Look, the world’s gone slightly insane since the apocalypse, and I was pleased to see Hotel Al Mare taking it seriously. Cleanliness and Safety: They're playing the game. Lots of hand sanitizer strategically placed (thank God), and a clear emphasis on Daily disinfection in common areas. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. My room definitely felt…clean. Like, possibly cleaner than my own apartment, which is…a low bar, admittedly. Staff trained in safety protocol? They seemed to be! Masks were the norm. And hey, the doctor/nurse on call gave me a little peace of mind.
The Room: My Personal Oasis (or Small, But Functional Space):
Right, let's get into the juicy bits. My room. Ah, the room. "Available in all rooms" they claim: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
Okay, they weren't kidding. It was all there. Honestly? The bathtub was a godsend after a long day of sun and sand. The blackout curtains were essential for sleeping off those prosecco-fueled evenings. The mini-bar … well, it was there. I may or may not have raided it on more than one occasion. And the Wi-Fi [free] worked, which is a small miracle in some places. My only real complaint? The pillows were a bit…lumpy. But hey, Daily housekeeping took care of things! I was ready to roll with the punches.
Internet Access (Hallelujah!):
Crucially, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And it actually worked! Internet [LAN] was also available. Perfect for those of us who need to occasionally pretend to work (ahem). Internet services seemed fine. I could browse, stream, and send embarrassing pictures to my friends without a hitch.
The Pool, the Beach, the Bliss (and the Potential for Awkwardness):
Swimming pool [outdoor]? Yep. Pool with view? Well, it had a view of the sea. It was a bit, eh, small. The water was glorious. The poolside loungers were a bit…close together. Let's just say I witnessed a lot of conversations I didn't particularly want to be privy to. But hey, the sun was shining.
Then, the Beach: (Okay, this is a confession – I spent most of my time at the beach, not the pool.)
- Getting Around: The Hotel provides a taxi service. But honestly, the best transport method for getting around was a short stroll.
- Things to do: It's Lido di Jesolo! Swimming pool is, as I said, small but useful. The beach is a stroll from the hotel
All the Bells and Whistles (and Spa Services… Maybe?):
Okay, this is where things get a little…confusing. The hotel boasts a Spa. The website lists Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom. Did I personally experience all of these? Absolutely not. Did I see them? Sort of. The idea was there. The fitness center…seemed tiny. I think the sauna was on the way up from the pool. But listen, I was there for the vibe, not a hardcore spa retreat. So, it was…there.
Dining and Drinking (the Most Important Part):
Restaurants, Poolside bar, Snack bar. They did have these, which is good news. Breakfast [buffet]? A mixed bag, but an experience. Western breakfast was your typical fare - your bacon, your eggs, your pastries - it was there. Asian breakfast was available, but not sure of the menu Salad in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Breakfast service, Vegetarian restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant. The staff was incredibly helpful, however, and happily went the extra mile to make it a dining experience the hotel offered.
The Happy hour at the Poolside bar was where I met a cast of characters I won't soon forget. The coffee was strong. The desserts were delicious.
Services and Conveniences (The Practical Bits):
The hotel had your standard concierge, Currency exchange, Luggage storage, Daily housekeeping, Laundry service, Elevator, Doorman, Safety deposit boxes, Cash withdrawal. These are all good things to have. The concierge was particularly helpful in navigating the local area. Facilities for disabled guests are listed, as noted above. Food delivery from outside wasn't in the hotel's options, but nearby restaurants were available.
Overall Recommendation:
Would I recommend Escape to Paradise: Hotel Al Mare, Lido di Jesolo Awaits!? Yes, with a few caveats. It’s not perfect. The spa might not be a full-blown, luxury experience. It's a great hotel for the price.
BUT, and it's a big but…

Oh, Jesolo! (A Messy, Honest, and Probably Sunburnt Itinerary)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly-curated Instagram travel feed. This is the REAL Jesolo experience, and trust me, it’s gonna be a beautiful disaster. We're talking Hotel Al Mare, Lido di Jesolo, Italy. And I'm officially hyped (and slightly terrified) about the amount of gelato I'm about to consume.
Day 1: Arrival, Anxiety, and Aperol Spritz Salvation
Morning (Around 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The Travel Gauntlet. Let's just say, getting to Italy from [Insert Home Country Here] is always an adventure. This year, it involved a delayed connecting flight, a screaming baby behind me who clearly knew exactly what buttons to push, and the sudden, panicked realization I'd forgotten my favorite travel pillow. (Rant time: Why do airports ALWAYS feel like they're designed to make you hate humanity?!) After a herculean effort, Finally, we land in Venice, and then the lovely shuttle drives to Lido di Jesolo, with the smell of salty sea air as a first memory.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Hotel Al Mare Check-In & Initial Panic. Finding the hotel should be easy. Finding parking in Jesolo? That's a whole other beast. After a frantic search resulting in a minor fender bender in the parking garage (thank god for the insurance), we finally checked in. Let me tell you, the lobby is much more 'charming' (read: slightly faded glam) than the ultra-modern aesthetic I'd somehow conjured in my head. Room: a bit dated, but clean. The view? Overlooking the Adriatic! Instant relief. Followed by a mini-meltdown because I couldn't figure out the air conditioning. (Turns out, it's REALLY complicated. Italian technology, am I right?).
Late Afternoon/Evening (5:00 PM onwards): Aperol Spritz Rescue & Embrace the Chaos. Okay, everything’s sorted. Check. And now the most important thing: locate refreshments. First stop, a beachside bar. My saving grace: Aperol Spritz. I'm talking the perfect balance of bubbly and bitterness. That first sip? Pure, unadulterated bliss. Feeling euphoric I went straight to the beach. The sand feels like warm flour and I can already see some teenagers building an ambitious sand castle. Dinner at a trattoria nearby. My pasta carbonara was a bit heavy, but the wine? Divine. This is Living the Dolce Vita (or at least, the starting version of it).
Day 2: Beach Bliss, Burger Regret, and Sunset Shenanigans
Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Beach Day Numero Uno! Sunscreen: CHECK. Towel: CHECK. The ocean: glorious, warm, and salty. I dove right in, forgetting for a moment the sheer terror of the deep. The beach is packed, a symphony of Italian chatter and the rhythmic crash of the waves. There's a guy with a ridiculously sculpted physique showing off, and a family with a small child who's clearly running the show. (relatable).
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): The Culinary Crossroads: Burger Blues. The food near us feels a little touristy, and my stomach is rumbling. One impulse buy later, and I'm stuck with a burger that's, well, let's just say it tasted like a pale imitation of the real thing. Regret. Massive, burger-shaped regret. Learn from my mistake: stick to the Italian classics.
Late Afternoon/Evening (4:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Sunset Spectacle & Unexpected Connections. The sun dips into the sea, painting the sky in fiery hues of orange and pink. Absolute magic. I found an amazing place I could sit, enjoying the show with a local couple I got talking to. It turns out they've been coming to Jesolo for 20 years, and know all the best gelato spots (score!). They shared their life stories, and their secret recipe for the world's best tiramisu (which, let's face it, I'll never be able to replicate). Evening stroll along the beach, breathing in the salty air. The sound of laughter, the smell of freshly baked pizza, the warmth of the remaining sun… it feels like paradise.
Day 3: Venice Escape (Slightly Touristy, Utterly Wonderful)
Morning (8:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Train to Venice. The train ride to Venice, a short ride from Lido di Jesolo. I'm armed with caffeinated goodness. Anticipation is building!
Morning/Afternoon (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM): Venice: St. Marx's Square Delights. The sheer beauty of Venice takes my breath away, and this is before the gondola ride. We hit St Mark's Square, dodging the pigeons. Then, the Rialto Bridge is everything you've ever dreamed of, a photo opportunity I can't miss.
Afternoon/Evening (2:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Gondola Ride and Dinner. Gondola ride, yes. It's over-the-top and every single cheesy stereotype about Venice is true. And I’m not even sorry. Dinner by the canal, with fresh seafood, a bottle of prosecco and the ambiance is just right. I'll cherish this day forever.
Day 4: Pure Relaxation (and the inevitable Gelato Overdose)
- All Day: Repeat all activities from the beach from Day 2. I'm hitting the beach, I'm going for walks, I'm embracing the sun, and I'm saying YES to multiple trips to my new favorite gelato place I found. I am NOT planning on going back home any time soon.
Day 5: Departure (Bittersweet, Sun-Kissed, and Already Planning the Return)
Morning (Early): Grumbling Farewell. Packing, the worst part of any trip. The suitcase feels so small.
Afternoon/Evening (The Journey Home): Memories, Sunburn, and the Promise of Return. The journey starts once again. This time, there is happiness, sadness, and the promise of a return. Goodbye, beautiful Jesolo. Until next time!
Food Notes (Important, Trust Me):
- Gelato: You will eat gelato. Regularly. More often than you think is medically sound. Don't fight it. Embrace it. Try all the flavors. Live.
- Pasta: Carbonara, arrabbiata, pesto… whatever you can get your hands on. Eat it. Repeat.
- Aperol Spritz: The official cocktail of the trip.
- Pizza: Can't be ignored. Find a place with a wood-fired oven. Thank me later.
- Coffee: Espresso is the nectar of the gods. Drink it multiple times a day.
- Local Markets: Check them out! Everything's much cheaper and more delicious.
Potential Disasters (because let's be real):
- Getting horribly sunburnt. (Already happening).
- Overspending on souvenirs. (Guaranteed).
- Losing my phone (or my mind).
- Developing a serious gelato addiction. (Highly probable).
- Wishing I could stay forever. (Definitely a strong possibility).
So, there you have it. My Jesolo. It’s not perfect, it’s going to be chaotic, and there will be moments of pure, unadulterated joy. Cheers to that! And to surviving the mayhem. Wish me luck, and pray for my liver!
