Camping Village Garden Paradiso

One of the best Eurocamps we have stayed at, it is quite big which makes the pools in particular very busy but the beach (which is beautiful and great for swimming )is a 4 min walk away. It's quite shallow for a good bit out, which makes it feel really safe for kids. On site there are a couple of restaurants all very good and a fabulous restaurant just across the road from reception, great atmosphere and food. The site is really well kept and a few nice shops and a small supermarket with everything you need (including wine on tap ), and an arcade with games for kids. The bus stop is just outside the campsite which makes it incredibly easy to get around, the bus takes you to the ferry port to go into Venice and also takes you to right outside the waterpark which is around 15mins away. Venice is a brilliant day out from this site, just be aware the last ferry and bus back will be really busy at high season. The waterpark was brilliant, clean, safe, if you want a sunbed, umbrella and a locker you need to book that a few days in advance, we didn't but all of our things were fine.

I have just returned from a 10 day trip as part of a group of 3 adults and 3 kids (6,8,10). Overall we had a really good holiday and a good experience at Camping Garden Paridiso. We travelled from Edinburgh to Venice Marco Polo airport with Ryanair and got generally cheap flights (£600 for the whole party) and pre booked a taxi to pick us up from airport and take us to park. We stayed in a Eurocamp Premium lodge and even though we arrived at 11am and our accommodation wasn’t supposed to be ready until 4pm, the Eurocamp reps had it ready for us on arrival (huge thanks for that Barbara and Billy). The cabin was spacious, clean and well equipped. We did not hire a car but didn’t find at necessary as the camp is on a bus route. The camp shop was quite pricy (most supermarkets on campsites are to be fair) so we hopped on the bus to Jesolo and did a big shop in Lidl. The Garden Paridiso staff saw us carrying the shopping bags and arranged for a staff member to drive us and our shopping bags to our cabin in a golf buggy and help us inside with them -this was so kind and helpful. We used the camp shop for mostly bread,bakery items and the wine on tap (which is amazing). The Eurocamp reception also had a leftover food station so you could take/leave extra food. This saved us lots of money on essentials such as oil, condiments and seasonings. We also left lots of leftovers when we were leaving to save the food from going to waste. The camp is huge but it is kept very clean and attractive. The private beach is fantastic. The park at the beach is also great for the kids. They have a great number of different water sports and equipment you can hire on the beach which wasn’t too overly priced The restaurant on the beach was good value for money and the pizzas were delicious. The ice cream shop is also very good value (less than 2 euro a single cone) and delicious. They do incredible slushes in the bar for 3 euros as well (so refreshing on a hot day) We found all the bar, shop, restaurant staff very attentive and friendly. Entertainment staff were great and so welcoming and hard working (shoutout to Viola who was so sweet). My kids loved the Holi paint party on the beach (it was quite pricy at 3 euros a bag for a small bag of paint though). The evening entertainment was also very good and the kids loved the mini disco. The only thing that really let this camp down was the pool area (mainly the pool rules and sun bed situation). The indoor and outdoor swimming pool facilities, slides etc were great but the lifeguards were very strict(no jumping in pool, a lot of inflatables weren’t allowed etc) and the pool was shut between 1-3pm (the hottest time of the day when we need to cool down the most). On one occasion a lifeguard told me and my 6 year old nephew that f he jumped in the pool again he was getting chucked out of the pool and banned, which I thought was a bit extreme. The funny thing was during the pool party on Saturday, the enter

Service for guests becoming worse every year. ( last 3 years) Now only issue of money which they transfer everywhere. It was cosy and nice 5 years ago. New houses are build on the minimum distance from each other, to build more and more. before, there was minimum comfort distance. A lot of Sunbeds are taken away more than week before the end of the season and not enough for people, who stay and watching free sunbeds snd umbelsts Its the end of the season, but there are still a lot of people, why they take them away, and people have to come at 8 in the morning to reserve them! The system of payment is crasy now. Before each day was at the same price, and you knew it in advance. Now , everyday has different price but you have only total price witch can be different even at the end of the season when a lot of free houses appeared, but jt happens that the price is higher during the week . Receptionists also do not know why it happens explaining that computer Gave such price In the low season the camp always had free bikesfor some hours, and tennis courts was also fee for some hours , now no because the private company which is not belonged to the camp rented all sport activity places and you need to pay for all which was free before. You can not swim in the pool at midday time/ From 13 till 15/ as there is not enough stuff and it is closed!!! But it is the only period when you can quitely swim wihout children jumping to the pool ! Now you don’t have this opportunity! Its because the lowered number of employees, which is good for the company, but the price for guests is not lowered! The cleaning before was not obligatory, you could have done it yourself and if you do not want to clean you can psy for clraning, Now you have to clean the house anyway, but you need to pay for cleaning, even if you stay 3 days! Highly recommend to find out the campings around, which have the price lower, and are thinking of guests , not only about money. All new things which were changed during last 3 years were done in order to bring more profit for the owners but sometimes forgetting abt guests
