“Lovely holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

Just spent 10 days at Stella Di Mare. Went with my husband and 2 children aged 9 and 7. We stayed half board and had a family appartment in the Villa area of the complex - near the golf course.

Our apartment was really spacious comprising lounge, bedroom and bathroom. One of the two sofas in the lounge was a sofa bed which our children slept in. Our bed was amazingly comfortable. My only criticism of our apartment was the quality of the sofa bed which sagged in the middle and really needed to be replaced. Our room was kept spotlessly clean and the heating was lovely on the freezing cold evenings.

We were really impressed with the food and although the menu was repeated weekly there is so much choice it doesn't get tedious. Loved the omelette bar at breakfast and the salad bar in an evening. Rice porridge was delicious as were the strawberries although these were not on the menu in our last 3 days for some reason. We are not huge eaters or drinkers so the AI option wasn't for us and we saved £500 by going half board. I didn't actually think the price of drink or food was unreasonable and going HB meant that we got bigger/branded drinks, e.g cans of pop, bottles of beer. Sakara was lovely!! The kids loved the cheeseburgers at the beach bar - would recommend eating here rather than pool as food is cooked at the beach so is warmer when it gets to you (food gets cool quickly when it's breezy). The waiters were lovely and so friendly especially with the kids. It was lovely to be in an environment where children are welcome and their needs attended to as much as the adults. Our son celebrated his 7th birthday while we were there and the hotel provided a beautiful chocolate cake which he was delighted with.

Pool and Spa were fab - we used the lower pool mostly as the pool on the upper level was too deep for our little boy. Also it was really windy when we were there and the upper level was quite exposed/cold. Plenty of sunbeds and always available - pool attendants were great and really attentive throughout the day. I used the gym daily and It was spacious, well equipped and clean. I treated myself to the spa package they offer and really enjoyed the experience - the egyptian massage and moisturising mud treatment was lovely.

This was our first time to Egypt and we will definitely return to Sharm and most likely stay at Stella again. The weather during our stay was not quite what we expected but think we may have been unlucky but it is worth bearing in mind if you have high expectations of the weather like me! Despite the weather we had a lovely holiday and I think this is down to the experience provided by the team at Stella Di Mare.

Room Tip: Family apartments are ideal for young families

“A holiday that exceeded all expectations.”

My husband and I have just returned from 2 weeks at the Stella Di Mare where we had a most fantastic time. Although we have enjoyed many foreign holidays this was our first time in Egypt but it won't be our last. The reason for this was largely due to the superb attention we received from all staff at the Stella. Everyone was most welcoming and courteous and smiled the most genuine sunshine smiles when greeting us and we were amazed at the way each remembered our names, where we preferred to sit in the dining room, what our particular drinks were, (and when we liked them). Nothing was a chore to them.
The hotel is a relatively new hotel (2009) and is most superbly situated overlooking the Red Sea. The views in the morning are magnificent with numerous white boats cruising past the hotel en route to pick up their diving passengers from Naama Bay. Rooms are most comfortable and everything about the hotel, both inside and outside, is scrupulously clean. Bed linen is changed every day, there is no shortage of towels, both bathroom and pool,mini fridges are replenished every day, free of charge if All Inclusive, tea and coffee making facilities are topped up daily and free safe facilities are also provided.
The food is most varied and beautifully presented with plenty to choose from with many chefs cooking their dishes at their stations thereby enabling them to present hot and freshly prepared meals. There are two a la carte restaurants that you can use if you want a change while the beach bar serves the most delicious snack lunches - the most popular choice being delicately cooked fish and chips. Delicious.
Pool facilities are excellent. No need to get up in the early morning to claim a sun bed. There are plenty. These are all in excellent condition and most comfortable. There are lots of separate areas where you can sunbathe depending on your preference: pool, gardens, overlooking the sea or jetty from which you can access the sea for swimming or snorkelling. The sea is clear and perfect for snorkelling with plenty of highly coloured fish easily seen near the reefs. I tried snorkelling for the first time and I am hooked. What an experience! What memories!
I have to be honest and say that before leaving home I had misgivings about mosquitoes and upset tummy etc., My fears were absolutely unfounded. The insect repellents were brought home intact and I experienced no tummy problems. - Be vigilant with your personal hygiene, though just in case.
I can only report what we found and already I am checking on the best time and prices for us to return next year. No hesitation this time. Our time there did exceed our expectations and we look forward to another superb holiday.

“Superb!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We booked this hotel because it was ranked 3rd on Trip Adviser for the Sharm area, our first visit to Egypt AND WE WERE CERTAINLY NOT DISAPPOINTED! From the moment we stepped into the hotel, we were made to feel really special; a chilled flannel to wipe our hands whilst we checked in, followed by a refreshing fruit cocktail in the bar , whilst a pianist played lovely chilled out music. We were so impressed with the hotel staff; a smile from every staff member, both in the hotel , at the various pools and at the beach. A special mention of Moham ed, the pool attendant, who was so charming and friendly; I have never had my sunglasses cleaned by a pool ( or by the beach ) before and no tip was expected either. Our room was lovely, with superb sea views and always imaculately cleaned daily. We have never slept so well as on this holiday; the huge bed was so comfortable! The food was of an excellent standard in all the restaurants we ate in too. A retun visit is certainly in our plans. Must also mention the stunning grounds around the hotel, all beautifully maintained and snorkelling from the beach was amazing... the huge variety of colourful fish rivalled the Barrier Reef. A great choice of hotel if you want to chill out and be pampered.

Room Tip: Lower floors could be noisy if near the disco; we chose a sea view on the 6th floor

“Absolutely Brilliant!!”

people found this review helpful

Just returned from a weeks stay 30th Jan till 6th Feb. Second time in sharm but this hotel is far superior and has to be the best there is. Cleanliness, staff, food, rooms, views, pools etc all faultless. The staff by the lower pool were brilliant - so happy and helpful and also the waiters in the La Terazza Restaurant couldnt be more obliging. Miss all of them already!! Went all inclusive and would definately recommend this as opposed to b and b as the drinks are quite expensive. This would be our only negative comment. The manager was extremely helpful and was always saying hello to guests and making sure all their needs were being met. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday - even a 9 hole golf course in a beautiful setting. Will definately return.

Room Tip: We had a room on the 1st floor (Room 145) with a lovely terrace onto the gardens and directly lookin...
