I?ve had the pleasure of staying here on two occasions recently, both two night stays, both for work purposes so of course I wasn't paying for the room!
First impressions:
The lobby is very wide and atrium style. As you walk across the marble floor there is a weird blue statue of a man and on your right escalators going downstairs. There are also a vast number of chairs and tables. To the left is the spa and a couple of boutique type stores. It does look more like the foyer of a prestigious office tower rather than a hotel though. It's a very large hotel with over five hundred guest bedrooms over nine floors.
Checking In:
On both occasions it was very easy to check in and out again, the receptionists were all efficient, helpful and spoke excellent English. The reception area was also very well staffed with four staff members around ...
A visit to Treviso can only start from Piazza dei Signori, which is surrounded by some of the town's most significant monuments, such as the Palazzo dei Trecento (the Palace of the Three Hundred) with its remarkable frescoes and decorations, the Town's Tower and the Prefecture Palace.
Leaving the town's living room, walk through the Soffioni Portico and you will reach the picturesque Piazzetta del Monte di Pietà, where the Mont-de-Pieté was established in the 14th century. Inside it there is the Cappella dei Rettori, one of the town's prides, with frescoes by Fiumicelli, paintings by Pozzeserrato and precious gilded leathers from Cordova.
In the nearby Piazza S.Vito there are the two remarkable and picturesque churches of S.Lucia and S.Vito, which are connected by a little door, where you can see many imporant art pieces.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Treviso (Italy)
Advantages: Execellent position next to bus station and close to shops, just far enough away from night life to be quiet. Disadvantages: The food is excellent so you may over eat ! Not very close to beach.
the mountains of which a visit is a must.
The beach however is not at this end of the resort so aways to go to get to the sandy part. it's not what we went for so no bother to us, it is easy to walk to as the promanade runs right along to Maspolamas and the sand dunes but its a long walk. there are plenty of Taxi's and hire cars around.
The Kumba centre is far enough away not to be a nuisance but near enough to walk to and taxi back with shopping.
We like to go to Gran Canaria in March as it's usally awlful here but very warm without being to hot over there.
The flight takes just under four hours so pick a good airline with entertainment as this can be a long trip for the children.
We now have a timeshare at another resort or we would have gone again to The Continental, happy memories of this hotel and you can't miss it as it's pale pink ...
