The Principe is a great hotel, the staff are very friendly and funny, The food is good as well, we had a great time there we were there to see the carnival in September, and were trying the local wine that they were giving away, it was fantastic. We will definitely be going back as it was a really relaxing holiday. Never been to lido before but we were pleased that we chose a great hotel in a great location

More entertainment in the hotel at night would be great this hotel is so lovely to sit outside in the evening maybe piano music would be nice. Evening around the pool bar this year was good but we like to sit in the lovely bar area outside the hotel after dinner on an evening.

The Lido di Jesolo Principe Hotel in Venice is family run, and a family feel is present throughout. Despite the size of the hotel, we will certainly return. The resort is great, and the main street is 15K long, and it is is shut to traffic at 8pm to 6am, then you have the street to promenade up and down, dropping into what ever bar or caf you fancy. The whole place gives a safe feeling, and there appears to be few, if any drunks. It has a wonderful beach, which is so clean, as is most of the Veneto area.

Lido is an ideal place to tour the area from, and Verona and Lake Garda are all within a two hour car journey. Venice can be reached by ferry with the connecting bus (buy the 16Euro ticket which gives unlimited travel on the water buses in Venice, as well as your travel on the bus to the ferry, and the ferry. Available from Tabacchi).

As you may be able to tell I have fallen in love with this part of the world.

A note on Thompson... This is the first time I've travelled with them, and apart from their shop where I bought the holiday, they were excellent. I flew from Manchester, and they were there help to get through check-in as smoothly as possible. Our rep in the resort was there not just to sell excursions but to help us have a good holiday, which was a pleasant change. On the return we were helped again with check-in to make it as smooth as possible. Our coach should have taken people for a Gatwick flight, however, the flight had been delayed over 3 hours, so rather than take the passengers to hang around the airport for 3 hours, they were left at the hotel where it was much more comfortable. Well done Thompson.
