Almar Jesolo Resort & Spa

Just got back from an amazing week here. Hotel is stunning. Customer service is exceptional especially bar staff and housekeeping. Excellent management. Food is incredible, room was beautiful and kept clean. Spa facilities are amazing. Only used outdoor pool once due to poor weather. Due to it being out of season, a lot of businesses closed or on reduced hours so we struggled to find quality places to eat. However the room is so good on the hotel bar that we visited it most evenings. Our TUI rep helped us plan day trip to Venice. Half hour walk to Piazza Brescia to catch a half hour bus to Punta Sabbioni then to catch half hour boat to Venice. Bus was very busy so standing room only. I’m guessing transport would be very busy during summer and you’d struggle to get on some busses. I’d suggest staying in Venice for 3 days to make it more convenient. An amazing holiday and will definitely return one day.

I decided on a second take of a lone 4th of July wellness beach weekend getaway and it was a major success. I pre booked spa treatments and the complimentary wellness sessions with ease. I had requested early check in as my flight arrived at 9:00 am but unfortunately my room wasn’t available until almost 3 pm. I was a little out of sorts because of jet lag but eventually just decided to hang out by the pool. Next time, I will be more prepared to hang by the pool after landing until the normal check in time. I was upgraded from a lateral sea view to a direct view and was greeted with a bottle of Prosecco and fruit plate for my iPrefer elite status. I wish I could remember the name of the woman who escorted me to my room, because she was so friendly for my entire stay. To be honest, I was glad that I had the opportunity to spend as much time as I did by the pool, because it really is a great space, the water is perfect and you can do laps because it’s huge. And if you order a glass of Prosecco, you seriously get a whole meal of chips, peanuts and corn nuts. The room was clean and comfortable. I did very much appreciate the room upgrade for the view. The balcony is private and spacious. Bed and pillows are relatively comfortable but not overly luxurious (comparing to Sofitel). I really appreciate the fact that there is a minibar large enough to chill your own beverages in addition to the hotel selections. I also liked that they restocked complimentary water on a daily basis. Nice touch. The beach is great in my opinion because it’s powder sand, plenty of Sun beds and showers! I didn’t remember getting charged last year for a bottle of water but apparently this year I was but that’s okay. As for the wellness, the fitness room is functional and picturesque. My only quibble is that is a bit warm. I also took advantage of the complimentary wellness sessions on two of my three days. Sveva is amazing (as she was last year when I had a breathing and Pilates session after learning my dad had passed away) and led a great back strength and soft yoga session. It was my own private experience because no one else showed up, but I highly recommend taking advantage. I booked spa treatments and I have to give a shout out to Miriam. She was great with my detoxifying scrub and massage. My anti-inflammatory treatment the next day was kind of meh, but maybe my expectations were too high. Breakfast is plentiful and the inclusion of bubbly is a major plus for me. Both of my stays have been great so I plan to make this an annul ritual. I highly recommend this resort for a relaxing, wellness stay.

Just came back from an amazing break at the Almar. Hotel was very clean, food was amazing. The Spa was lovely very relaxing, the jacuzzi was warm, plenty of steam and sauna rooms. We had massages and facials which were very relaxing. The room was perfect clean and towels changed. The only setback was the lack of restaurant/bar staff. In the restaurant one evening we had one drink and was never asked for further drinks even though we had been sitting a while with empty glasses, and by the pool if you wanted a drink you had to go up to the bar and wait, think, think you’re missing opportunities there as quite a few people were saying the same thing. Otherwise it was a lovely break and would definitely go back.
