Hotel Maregolf

Perfect hotel for a family vacation. Big pool, sandy beach with reserved places at 200m and animation for kids, but without overdoing it. The small amusement park nearby is a welcome plus. The hotel has Golf in the name and a course next to it, but I didn't spot any golfer. It's much more "mare" than "golf". The rooms are functional and clean. Most importantly they were designed for convenience: they are quiet, the A/C is also quiet, the toilet can be used without waking up partners, etc... And there are rooms with connecting doors. The food is buffet style, which is good for kids, and very reasonable quality. After a week it becomes a bit repetitive, especially if you take full board. There's plenty of friendly staff everywhere, so you never get to wait for anything. Compared to similar places in Spain it's very pleasant that there are no hidden costs. Towels, beach loungers, sunshades, all is included. The location is a bit remote. There are good bus connections to Caorle (don't miss!), which is also cyclable distance (there are bicycle lanes everywhere). Venice is a bit less convenient to get to: bus plus boat or 2h bus. It's the North of Italy, so doesn't get as hot as further south. There's a big car park (5 euros a day) with one charging station (was always available) by the hotel. The resort of Lido Altanea has a supermarket 100m from the hotel, a small mall 400m away and a tourist train for easy commuting. It's all owned by a single company, Lampo. One suggestion for the owner: replace your valuables' safes with a key (20 euro deposit) with code locks. What's the point of a safe if I then have a key to bring to the beach or deposit at the reception?
