JW Marriott Venice is a resort, not a city hotel, and that's the point. It has the Isola delle Rose to itself, with a Rooftop Pool, a Family Pool, a Vitality Pool and the JW Venice Spa — about 3.2 km from Marittima as the crow flies, by our measurement, and boat-only.
A complimentary shuttle boat runs from St. Mark's Giardini Reali pier, 8:30 am to 11:30 pm, and Marriott prints a Marco Polo transfer at €300 (about US$335) one way.
Marriott labels the 7 to 11 am buffet "Free", which usually depends on the rate, so check yours; there's nothing at all on a boat to the ship.
Book it for a family pool day before a long cruise, and price the private boat to Marittima before you commit.
Book it if
- Your kids want pools before the ship
- You'd rather be on an island than in the crowds
- You want a priced airport transfer
Look elsewhere if
- You want to step out into Venice's streets.
- You don't want to pay for a private boat to the ship.
- You need breakfast in writing.
