We had 5 nights here last week, and couldn't recommend it highly enough. The rooms are just fine, but what really sets it apart are the public areas, which somehow manage to be both elegant and comfortable. The overall impression is of relaxation and restrained good taste. The staff are excellent, and the owners seem very involved in the day to day running of the hotel, - it's their private art collection on the walls, and they have a table for dinner. We were half board, dinner invariably excellent, breakfast tip-top European on the pool terrace.

The terrace and pool are both excellent, the small charge for pool beds is a good way of making sure that they are always available for those who want them. The beach is great, I enjoyed it most on the windy day when the sea was a little more boisterous . . .

Remember it is in a holiday resort - Venice is about 90 mins by bus and boat, but this is a place to relax. There's a little booth with free internet connection beside reception but I didn't see anybody using it. That probably says it all.

Hotel Byron Bellavista is the last but one at the lighthouse end of the long, long strip of concrete that makes up the Lido di jesolo.
I found this resort visually unattractive, but after a few days I had to admit that it works. Everything's linear, the strip of beach, the pedestrian walkway for strollers and joggers, the hotel gardens or pool areas, the hotels themselves, then a sort of service street, then the long strip. The effect is to keep traffic well back from the beach, which avoids the traffic-choking south of france effect.
HBBV has an impressive marble-floored lobby, lots of antiques, art, persian rugs, comfy cream sofas. The terrace and pool areas are lovely, a balmy breeze blows through the verandah.
Staff are knowledgable and efficient, patiently explaining day after day how guests can get into Venice. Upstairs is a bit less impressive, shabby carpets and cramped room made small by hulking antique furniture. Still the room was very clean, and the bathroom had been given the marble treatment. Breakfast is very good. The beach has a blue flag, though I did see some unmentionables floating around. Overall its a pleasant hotel.

I have read some moderate reviews for this hotel which are wrong in my view.

The british might have problems with the amount of Veal and fish on the menu. However the staff were happy to make any thing else to suit i.e chicken, spaghetti etc . I despite the menu I still found the restaurant simply excellent over all.

The Head waiter is a true gentleman and world class.

The location is right on th beach and for us with a young family was at the right end of town.

The rooms are very clean and tidy and the bathrooms have been fabulously upgraded recently (well ours was) .

This is a truly 4 star hotel with service to match

I would reccomend it to any body

My husband and 14 year old daughter had a very good experience at Hotel Byron BellaVista for 6 days in June. While we were in Jesolo we looked at some of the other 4 star hotels and felt we had made the right decision. HBBV is on the end of the strand and therefore away from the busiest part of the beach. The staff were great and the service was wonderful in every respect. Most of the staff know english and while they do not get many Americans welcomed us enthusiastically. You do have to pay each day for the beds around the pool. I am sure this is because there are not enough for everyone and this ensures your bed for the day. You also have to pay 2 euros per day for beach towels. Know what your charges are ahead of time or bring your own beach towels. Breakfast each morning was very good and served on the terrace and they offer hot items off the menu.

The lobby and outside bar area are lovely and such a beautiful view of the sea. We had dinner in the dining room one evening and we felt we were back home at our Country Club. The service and food were first class and at a very good price.

We requested a family suite. Book early enough to request a sea view or and "end room". Our room was a family suite on the 4th floor in the middle. The bathroom was small and the room looked out to the condo's VERY close quarters. I understand they are renovating the rooms...and the pictures on the website are of the renovated rooms. But after we realized we were never in the room it did not seem to matter. The linen's on the beds were fine cotton with a top sheet. Plenty of towels were always left in the room and the maid came in twice each day to refresh the room.

Again the service from the staff was first class. Maria at the front desk showed great concern that we should be pleased with our accomodations.

We thought this beach town was lovely and enjoyed strolling the streets each morning while it was quiet. On Fri. and Sat. nights they close off the streets to traffic and everyone comes out to enjoy music, dinner and shopping. This is definitely a FAMILY resort during the month of June. There were many many children under the age of six., We understand July and Aug can be much too crowded and get very noisy.

We took a day trip to Venice and ditto to previous reviews...we tourists have ruined Venice and it is one huge shopping mall. It was impossible to enjoy. But then we took a day trip to the islands of Murano and Burano by ferry and water taxi and enjoyed those islands very much. Our only regret is that we did not take a day trip to Croatia.
