Breakfast is served out on the terrace each morning, cereals, fruit, hams, cheeses, pastries as well a full cooked breakfast, all freshly cooked on the grill on the terrace.
The rooms were a little small, but were perfectly adequate and were spotlessly clean, with towels changed every day. All bedrooms had a fridge to put your own drinks in (not a costly mini bar)and the air-conditioning was very effective.
The hotel provides bike hire (1.50 Euro per hour) and it is very easy to get around as there are lots of bike lanes and the whole area is flat. There is also a pitch and putt course (2.50 Euro per person)at the hotel. The entertainment happened twice a week when we were there - once it was a singer(?) singing up to date songs, the other time it was a duo who were rather sparkly and dated.
The staff were very friendly and efficient and the staff on the front desk were very helpful and informative.
I would throughly recommend this hotel and would love to visit it again in the future.

bar staff who think they are good but cant make a basic coffee liquior. bar staff who loudly argue in front of guests and wont shut up when asked. little or no evening drinks waiting staff. dire entertainment.one night a singer spent most of the night trying to repair something and singing with his back to the guests.
the rep does her best,but needs more help from above. the whole hotel needs a good shake up. a very nice hotel in a prime location going to waste.

The room was quite small and painted dark blue, so a bit depressing, but loads of shelves and cupboards to put things away. The room staff were excellent and all staff very helpful. Good shower and it worked!!
The restaurant is large and an enormous selection of food, not very Italian though as they seem to cater for the English taste, and the food seemed to be the same things every night although the menu changed.
You would not go hungry though, even fussy eaters would find something they liked. We stayed a week and were a bit bored with the food at the end.
Take care if you are seated near the grill, you may smell of smoke for the duration. Tables in the restaurant seem to seat 4, but the Manageress in the restaurant will try and change your seating if she can.
There is a charge of 3 euros per day per sun bed at the pool, but this includes fresh towels. There are free deckchairs on the beach but a charge of 5 euros for s sunbed.
Good location, and an easy walk to bars/shops/bus stops etc.
Do make sure you check your change in the bar, as one person made a few mistakes while we were there - obviously maths not his strong point.
There is nothing to complain about at this hotel, and many of the guests seem to return again and again.

The hotel itself was good, apart from no entertainment until the night we flew home and only then it was a old crooner from Napoli and i don't think many people stayed to listen to him.
The Thomson trips were expensive, 72 euros to Venice but word soon got round that you could get a ticket for 19 euros for the bus and boat and I think a lot of people made their own way there, which we did and thoroughly enjoyed it.

This hotel has also changed ownership.
Make sure you go into the restaurant early for your evening meal otherwise nothing left.
On the whole a ideal base for trips to Venice, Lake Garda and Verona

We found the staff very pleasant and helpful if you had a query, nice to have free safety deposit box and air conditioning rooms were cleaned and beds made every day it makes a nice change. There was such a choice of food that you couldn't resist going back for more or trying something different. The chef was only to happy to cook your steak which ever way you preferred whilst you waited.
Pool very clean but a bit cold lovely sandy beach hotel close to shops and nightlife but far enough away not to hear the music.
5 hour delay on way home but hotel gave us a hot meal because of it.
Will definitely go back again because a week is not long enough.

Apart from that, the hotel was great, didnt find it cold, its in an excellent location, away from the busy main road where you take your life into your hands by just crossing it.
Would definitely go back to this hotel.

My husband an I were not so pleased when we were told that we would be sharing a table and this would probably be the case for our holiday.
However, when telling reception, after the meal that we did not wish to share, we were given a table for two for the following nights.
The food was good, both breakfast and dinner buffets were well laid out. One thing I would point out was that the dinner buffet is cleared away promptly. So if you arrive towards the later end of the given time for dinner, tables will begin being cleared and the buffet will slowly begin to vanish!.
The rooms are on the small side but are spotless and the air-con is a boon. I asked for more pillows and these were delivered immediately.
The pool area is good and as opposed to many other european hotels there was no problem in getting a sunbed.
There is a small charge of about e2.50 per day, per bed, but this includes a beach towel. Waiter service around the pool area is good but a bit pricey. eg e6.00 for an orange juice and small beer plus they expect a tip.
One thing I would like to point out about the hotel is that they do not accept credit cards, so there is no such thing as a tab.
The wine waiter at dinner will want to be paid there and then as will the waiters by the pool. Also the reception money exchange will not exchange euro travellers cheques, only pounds to euro's or, I suppose other national currencies.
All in all I would say that the Cesare Augustus made a good clean, comfortable holiday base if you intend to take up all the excursions on offer.
If I had intended to use the hotel as a 'sunsoak' base and maybe do one or two excursions, I think I would have been slightly dissapointed.

Food was very, very good,plenty of choice at all meal times.
Could not wish for a better location, right on the beach.
Very little entertainment, however lots of nice bars
nearby, the good thing out of hundreds of bars only saw two english bars.
Fantastic shopping in the area over 15km of shops, restaurants and bars.
Shopping centre is pedestrianised after 6.oopm and most shops stay open until 11.00pm.
Will be going there again.
