What a fabulous hotel! We went just to tour and hopefully have a ride on the canal, but not everything works out as you wish. The canal ride was too long a wait, so we opted instead for some fabulous gelato and a lovely walk thru, enjoying all the gorgeous art and architecture. It is so amazing how you feel like you are outside and in Italy. I even took the opportunity to help out a new bride and groom, taking some photos of the two with their camera against the lovely waterfall. It was fun and they really appreciated the thoughtfulness. Love all the restaurant and shopping options. What fun! The only thing that requires improvement, as do they all.......... is the casino in the middle of the room with all the smokers. YUK! What a turn-off! What a shame....
