Hotel Luxor e Cairo The Beach Resort (Lido di Jesolo, Italy)

A great number of visitors credit the staff with making stays more memorable. Personnel are mild mannered, multilingual and highly trained in the art of hospitality, using first names and remembering drinks preferences. The can-do attitude of both front-of-house and waitstaff inspires many a positive review.

Foodies are invariably impressed with the hotel's culinary offerings. The array of hot and cold options at breakfast is a huge hit with guests, as are the home-cooked meals purveyed of an evening. An inordinate number of reviewers recommend the fish, which is out of this world.

A conscientious team of cleaners work tirelessly to ensure your environment is always immaculate. Bedrooms and bathrooms are spotless and this ethos extends throughout the hotel's common areas, ensuring the lobby, poolside and bar/restaurant areas adhere the highest standards of cleanliness.

So far, very few repeat negative reviews have been received by this hotel, attesting to the superior standards attained throughout. Occasional gripes about soundproofing in rooms and the extra charge for poolside sunbeds are among the very short list of issues darkening some stays.
