Hotel ratings by criteria:
It wasn't the first time I had a rest. Hotel with 380 meter pontoon. For lovers of snorkeling, there is a huge lagoon with a sandy bottom for children and adults. This hotel was chosen by Europeans. They certainly know how to have a great rest for little money. Wifi is terrible, buy cards at the airport $1.10 GB. This year the prices "bite", the price of this hotel was very attractive. for 20 days for 2 adults and a child of 5 years old as for 12 days in any other good five. The flight was in the evening. The hotel was after 10 pm, a late dinner was ordered for us. The room was given in a very quiet building 7. As for the rooms. If you prefer spacious rooms, then you need to settle in Garden. And if the preference is close proximity to the beach, then in Beach. The room was small 15 meters, at first I didn't like it. The hotel itself and the number of rooms are already shabby. This is immediately evident upon arrival. After a couple of days, you do not pay attention to it. Here for the money you can have a very good rest. For those who like to relax in the pools, there is a very large choice starting from Garden, you can use the territory of both hotels. If I'm not mistaken, there are more than 10 for sure. I came to Stella because of the reef as I prefer snorkeling. Daughter too, and granddaughter also taught. Living creatures are most near the pontoon and in shallow water, away from the coast of the metro for 500 more interesting specimens. What we saw: 2 large moray eels live under a pontoon, come out after 10 am and in the evening at 4-4 pm, both 1.5 and 2 meters. an octopus lives on corals and a huge green fish looks like a flute. a lot of stingrays, we saw a Mantoux stingray, giant squids, a big turtle sailed. needle fish, hedgehog fish, large and small; a flock of squid near the 40-50 cm pontoon, a bunch of all kinds of fish, all kinds of parrots, clown fish. Flocks of tuna, Huge tuna, scared us a lot, thought the shark. If you swim further, coral fields and coral lagoons begin for 500 meters. Those who come here for a long time, they swim very far. swim well in a group. We took an excursion to Luxor and on a boat to Paradise Island and to the aquarium. Believe me, what you will see on the beach in Stella is much more interesting, except for Luxor of course. The only thing you won't see here is Napoleon. Follow him only to Sharm. But at this time there was hellish heat. For food: once they gave red fish steaks, shrimp, crabs, salted red fish, barbecue on the street every day. Every day is the day of national cuisine of different countries. I must say right away that the cuisine is varied, but not always tasty. but there is plenty of meat and fish. you definitely won't leave hungry. Of the fruits, there were only melon, dates, apples, grapes once, physalis often, orange, grapefruit, apricot, peach, strawberries on cakes and cakes. Very good desserts. Great buns for breakfast. Pancakes, donuts of all kinds, yoghurts. The food here is of good quality. No frills. From the animation, she's mostly on the beach and by the pool. I recommend volleyball, morning and evening exercises. aqua aerobics in the afternoon in the pool. On the beach there is a cafe-bar-restaurant. Not bad. There are pool bars. Bottled water is brought every day, 2 half liters per person. The rest can be bottled in a restaurant, on the beach in a bar, at the evening show there is also a corner with drinks and water. And also a bar with alcohol. In the evening, everyone sits at the tables near the stage, the waiters deliver drinks, very briskly, moreover. There is enough space for everyone. At 19:30 mini disco. Then live music, then a show program, then live music again, sometimes competitions. Participate everywhere! If you want to be seen! The hotel is very soulful. The atmosphere is homely. In the main restaurant there are tables with soft sofas, and tables with chairs. Rooms with and without intensive air conditioning, with intense lighting and with soft, for every taste. No terrace. There is a hookah bar both on the beach and near the stage behind the lobby bar. Room cleaning every day, even without a tip. We even asked a couple of times not to clean. But water is still brought every day. This is the first hotel where I had a complete rest from everything, from social networks and correspondence, where I enjoyed the sea, admired its inhabitants. Although almost all of them are poisonous, they are so friendly and cute, “flyed” with Manta over coral gardens, chased squids, moray eels, filmed a bunch of underwater videos. Take your underwater camera with you. Through silicone - this is not it. And also a great mood, and then any vacation will be successful!
