Hotel Al Mare in Lido di Jesolo

We recently stayed at Hotel A Mare in Jesolo with a group, and overall the experience was mixed. On arrival, we were immediately told that there were many families staying and that we needed to keep noise to a minimum. We completely understood this and made sure our group respected it throughout our stay. That said, the tone felt quite firm from the outset, especially given that normal hotel noise (including a crying baby near my room) is simply part of shared accommodation. There were a number of house rules, such as not taking towels to the beach and ensuring feet were cleaned before entering, which we respected. The rooms themselves were comfortable, and the hotel was kept very clean. There were also some positive aspects. The owner was helpful on one occasion, assisting with a phone call and translating with a driver, which we appreciated. The real highlight, however, was the gentleman who looked after us at breakfast and dinner. He was excellent throughout, always friendly, welcoming, and incredibly generous with the food. He made a big difference to our stay, as did the hardworking cleaning staff. Unfortunately, there were several interactions towards the end of our stay that left us feeling less welcome. Breakfast timing on our final morning became unnecessarily difficult to agree, and despite reaching a compromise, we were later told we had to adhere to a different time. We were also asked to vacate rooms by 9:30, which we did without issue. On our last day, we had previously been told we could use the breakfast room briefly before heading to the airport. However, when we returned, access was no longer available, and we were asked to leave the premises. While we understand policies around departures, the manner in which this was communicated felt quite abrupt and unfriendly. In summary, the hotel itself is well-kept and the staff (particularly in the dining room) were excellent. However, the overall experience was affected by the tone of some interactions with the owners. A more welcoming and flexible approach would go a long way, especially for groups who are making the effort to respect the property and its rules.
