The rooms are cramped but clean. The restaurant is disgusting. For breakfast every day the same thing: ham, cheese, egg and coffee. Dinner was not tasty. We went to a cafe next to the hotel. Sea view tables for Italians only. Everyone else is seated at small tables in the dark side of the restaurant. Beach chairs correspond to hotel rooms (by numbers).

We never found our room, we had to sunbathe on the sand. Staying at this hotel is not worth the money we paid. By the way, from the airport in Rimini to Lido 4.5 hours drive. And no one warned about it... .

The hotel is average. There are both pros and cons. Of the advantages - the first line, renovated rooms, excellent dinners. The biggest disadvantage is the attitude towards Russian tourists. Of course, I understand that our compatriots tried their best to spoil the impression of themselves, but it’s very disappointing when you are on a long-awaited vacation constantly in some kind of struggle for what you paid for.

The biggest disadvantage is the attitude towards Russian tourists. Of course, I understand that our compatriots tried their best to spoil the impression of themselves, but it’s very disappointing when you are on a long-awaited vacation constantly in some kind of struggle for what you paid for. So, the room that we paid for (a room with a balcony) was knocked out for 2 days. Sun loungers were allocated to us across the road from the sea (this despite the fact that we were with a small child) and it was 200 meters from the sea. We had to sunbathe on the sand near the sea so as not to drag the child back and forth. The service at the hotel was rude, so when we somehow did not want to order drinks at dinner, the aunt - the waitress showed such displeasure, as if we had personally insulted her.
Perhaps this is the trouble of Lido de Isolo and the season (we were in July and the number of vacationers went off scale). Not so elsewhere in Italy. And the Italians are wonderful, hospitable people (as we imagined before the trip). But after this holiday spoiled by the ITALIANS, I still don’t want to return to this country.
P. S. From observations
1) If you are flying on a Russian charter and through Trieste, and besides, you hope to get tax free at the airport, you need to, forgetting about self-respect, be the first to run out of the bus and take the queue. There are a number of reasons for this: firstly, the queue is Russian and huge, which lives according to the laws "man is an enemy to man", and secondly, the Italians MAXIMUM delay the procedure, demand to show clothes, leave and come, and therefore part of the queue (I would said, the end of the queue) does not have time to issue tax free and fly away with nothing.
2) About the crisis in Europe.
The regulars of the cafe in the Lido in the evenings were mostly Italians. The Germans, on the other hand, bought mostly pizza in the cheapest shop. Attention to the question: which of the countries feeds the whole of Europe?

We admired such a "wonderful" view for a week thanks to the Iceberg travel agency (Dusseldorf) !!! The room, the amenities of which fit on 1.5 sq. m. , overlooked the polluted parking of the hotel. Every morning, the garbage trucks, noisily emptying containers, reminded us that we are second-class customers, unworthy of human conditions of rest.

We stayed at the hotel this year. Previously stayed there for a couple of days in 2006 - loved it. Over the past 4 years - the hotel's cuisine has become ugly: poor breakfasts, buffet dinners and lunches - all from canned food, nothing fresh. There are few fruits (at the end of August there was only one watermelon, only pears and kiwi).

We stayed at the hotel this year. Previously stayed there for a couple of days in 2006 - loved it.
Over the past 4 years - the hotel's cuisine has become ugly: poor breakfasts, buffet dinners and lunches - all from canned food, nothing fresh. There are few fruits (at the end of August there was only one watermelon, only pears and kiwi). The first courses are also clearly from concentrates. More or less only the second course.
Russians are often settled not in the Caravel itself, but in the Maxi Caravel (not to be confused with the Mini). This is an extension to the main building - a barn barn. With rotten walls, practically no shower, lots of ants, etc. Moreover, the Italians have rooms in Maxi that are cheaper than in the main building, but the Natalie Tour, with whom we traveled, doesn’t know this. Therefore, they seem to be unable to do anything - well, there is no MaxiCaravelle in their price list, which means that the price for it is like for the main building. (although the reservation to Italy is sent to Maxi - many of these documents were seen at the reception). In general, theft is outright, but it is difficult to prove.
Yes, I forgot to say - they don’t want to clean up there at all. Vacuum cleaner once a week.
In general, you should not go to Caravel, and especially with Natalie Tours

Family vacation in this hotel. The hotel is good. However, there are a number of disadvantages. Firstly, at this time of the year it makes no sense to pay for a room with a sea view and a balcony, because a strong wind blows all the time, so it makes no sense to be on the balcony and enjoy the sea air and amazing views.

Family vacation in this hotel. The hotel is good. However, there are a number of disadvantages. Firstly, at this time of the year it makes no sense to pay for a room with a sea view and a balcony, because a strong wind blows all the time, so it makes no sense to be on the balcony and enjoy the sea air and amazing views. We had to tightly close the balcony door so that we would not be blown away (we lived on the 8th floor), and bring a table and chairs into the room so that we could sit and relax. Another drawback is the lack of beach towels. I had to buy on the spot in the store, although we were ready to give a deposit or pay for the rent so as not to carry towels in our luggage. Breakfast - served in disposable dishes, coffee - more like a coffee drink, it's better to ask the waiter to make tea, and then drink a normal cappuccino on the beach at the bar (of course, for an additional fee). Breakfast is very monotonous and does not impress with frills. Sunbeds on the beach are not reserved for you, so if you want to lie on a sunbed, and not on the sand, you either have to get up very early (because enterprising fellow citizens throw their towels, supposedly for a reserve, so that no one takes it), or go to the pool , which, contrary to the photo on the hotel website, is located on the side behind the fence, so that the sea is not visible at all.
Room cleaning is mediocre. For some reason, the cleaner always tried to enter the room at about 7.00, then apologized and disappeared altogether (and this despite the signs "do not disturb" and "please clean the room"). Towels were changed once during the 10 days of our stay. Shower gels and all bath products are placed only upon arrival. If you used them up, then your problems.

It is conveniently located, although not in the center, but anywhere in the city can be reached by local buses or bicycles (you can take it at the hotel for free, just on bail). There are a lot of restaurants, cafes around, two supermarkets are very close. Own beach with umbrellas and sun loungers (free), a fairly large area, and clean.

The reception staff speaks, in addition to Italian, English and German. The rooms are small, there is nowhere to turn around, but this is quite typical for Italy. Rooms are cleaned and towels are changed every day. The food is somewhat monotonous (especially the breakfast buffet: permanent salted ham and melted cheese in plastic bags - they manage to get fed up in two weeks) , but for dinner, in addition to the salad bar and the proposed hot dish, you can choose something from the menu individually. In general, it fully corresponds to the status of "3 stars". And if the guide is good, then a great vacation is guaranteed)))
