After booking the Excelsior years ago for clients, I had the privilege of staying there for 1 night last week. The hotel is only true 5* option in the area, and the service is impeccable. The staff is warm, and hospitable - but also laid back, which jives perfectly with its beach vibes. The beach club (lido) is one of the nicest in the area - complete with a call button to call waitstaff, morning snacks delivered to your umbrella, a safe box, cushions on lettini, hot tubs, showers - all you need (much more sophisticated than our club in Cattolica, about 25 min north). The beach side restaurant is also a little elevated, while still remaining casual… I really enjoyed the scorfano for lunch. ||The spa is beautiful, with a gorgeous pool that has expansive views over the Adriatic Sea. There is cryotherapy, and they offer a large variety of incredible massages (mine was with Patrizia, and it was amazing). ||My room was Superior Suite - very large, with a wonderful balcony and picture perfect view. When gazing left or right, all you could see was colorful umbrellas and the sea for miles.||For dinner, we walked about 10 minutes to nearby Nostrano. Here we enjoyed a Michelin starred tasting menu, full of locally inspired dishes. Services wasn’t stuffy at all, and the staff was young and friendly. The Excelsior made our reservation, which was seamless.
