Hotel Ambasciatori Palace

We had a great time at this hotel. First the positives: The staff are absolutely brilliant - so friendly, welcoming and helpful! We were always greeted with a smile and a professional attitude. You can tell that all the staff are working to the same goal and want this hotel to succeed. They really were fantastic. The location is perfect. The beach is a stones throw away, with lovely sun loungers to use for free. Both the beach and the sea are lovely. The hotel is seconds from the main shopping area and you can easily walk to the bus stop to take you to the port, for further (easy) travel to Venice and the islands. The food was 1st class. We all found things we enjoyed, each evening. A wonderful selection of salads and vegetables at dinner, lovely ice cream and other desserts and the main dishes were always varied. Breakfast was also good, with a plentiful selection. The hotel is spotlessly clean. The ladies who clean the rooms do a great job and we always felt we were spending time in a very clean building. Unfortunately there are a couple of not so good bits - the owners/management really need to do something about the pool area! It was such a let down. It really detracted from the other brilliant parts of the hotel. The blocked paved surface is uneven with weeds growing through the cracks. We tripped a few times. The walls need painting, with all the paint currently grimy, cracked and peeling. The planters are full of weeds. The plastic tables and chairs are old and dirty. It really doesn't match the care shown in the rest of the hotel. We couldn't understand it. There is a man who seems to be employed to maintain the area but he didn't seem to be doing much work but rather spent his time smoking and talking on his phone. It wouldn't take much to improve the area and it is confusing why the management think it is acceptable. When compared to all the other hotel pools you can see from the beach, it really is disappointing. If the sea wasn't so wonderful, it would have spoilt our holiday. The hotel does need some renovation. I don't think any of the rooms or the furniture have been updated since it was built and although everything is kept very clean, it all looks very old and tired.

I'd been here before so knew what to expect. Some new bicycles since last year, otherwise pretty much the same. Excellent location and a good sized swimming pool: weather was 32-36C every day and clear skies so no chill factor. Staff are very helpful, I had one very minor issue (no sink plug when I arrived) which was rectfied quickly. Food as I expected: I'd describe it as good with exceptional when it comes to breakfast. The guy cooks your eggs, bacon etc. in front of you on a hotplate; you cannot get any better than that. The coffee from a machine is more than acceptable (this is Italy after all) and then there's croissants, a charcuterie section, fruit... This might sound bizarre, but if possible I would choose bed and breakfast. It's not that the food isn't good (it is) but 7-30pm is a little early and there are so many restaurants close by that would be nice to try.

Had 5 nights at the hotel. Yes a little tired and dated but all the staff made up for that as all were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good with chef cooking fried eggs or omelette to order plus bacon & sausage. Fresh fruit etc all good. Dinner was good with lots of choice. Our room was overlooking the beach with a balcony. No complaints at all and would come back.

Don't pay attention to all the bad reviews we have just returned after 9 nights and we would recommend the Ambasciatori. The rooms were basic but that's all you need. The staff were all lovely and the food was plentiful. It's an old hotel so we didn't expect luxury but it exceeded our expectations after reading the bad reviews. Great location.

Positives: Clean towels daily Nice food Friendly and helpful staff Beds made daily Excellent location for beach , shops, Restaurants and bars Negatives: Hotel very dated Pool area not so clean Rooms very small Two beach clubs either side of the hotel, So if you want to sleep at night don’t stay at this hotel!

Haven’t got the patience to write a comprehensive review . However I would echo all the comments and observations from the post prior to mine . May be a a coincidence but myself and my wife have been unwell during the stay and since returning home . General poor hygiene and neglect is our abiding experience. Drab , depressing and run down .. You never see a cleaner .. Food rationed out , which is ridiculous Even the bacon at breakfast Dangerous broken tiles surround the pool Only positive is the location . A stunning beach on your doorstep and the main square yards away …
