We rested in Stella from 19.11. until 30.11 at the hotel for the 3rd time (before that were in 2011 and 2013). Having paid a considerable amount for the tour, they did not want to risk with other hotels, hoping for a quality holiday in Stella. And once again they weren't wrong. It's nice that the hotel is true to the tradition of welcoming guests - a welcome cocktail and fragrant refreshing napkins at the reception, fruits in the room and a VIP cocktail (an evening of meeting with the administration) for regular guests of the hotel. Many thanks to Natalya Rybakova (a wonderful, sympathetic person! ) for her help in placing exactly in the room that we asked for.
A lot has been written about the hotel, I do not want to repeat myself about the beautiful and well-thought-out territory, good location, helpful staff. But once again I want to say that the hotel is not intended for families with children, as well as for those who can’t swim well. There is no entry from the shore and shallow water, the beach is located on a steep coast. There are 2 pontoons with ladders for descending into the water, there is immediately a great depth. But it is very interesting to swim in a mask along the coral reef. It became even better (we can compare), every day we admired the diversity of life on the reef - squid, rays, octopuses, moray eels, Napoleon fish and many other interesting inhabitants. Every day we discovered something new on the reef. We are not professional divers, but several times a day for an hour, my wife and I swam along the reef between the pontoons (300-350 meters). The sea was very comfortable for swimming - 26-27 degrees.
There are enough sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach (there are several of them). But, probably, it's time to replace some of the sunbeds or pull them over. All beachboys and lifeguards are friendly and efficient, it was nice to meet them on the beach every morning. We were glad to meet an old friend - good-natured malek kareem (excursion organizer) this time we ordered diving and a canyon from him for not a lot of money. The animation is professional and unobtrusive. It does not disturb the state of relaxation and peace at all. This time we were tempted to go to aquagym on the first day of rest and then did not miss a single day. Every day the classes were conducted by a new instructor, with his own set of exercises. Thank you all. All of them are cool guys, they know how to start and cheer up. It was interesting and fun, and in the end it was very useful, since we did not gain extra pounds, but there was a reason for this. And very serious

The kitchen of the hotel is beyond praise. Of our three visits, this time she exceeded all expectations. A deep bow to the chef for very tasty and varied food and beautiful, restaurant serving dishes. Each dinner was themed with dishes of the cuisine to which it was dedicated (Italian, Greek, Mediterranean, Asian, Arabic, seafood, etc. ). Wonderful oriental sweets and desserts.
The atmosphere in the hotel was very friendly. Stella creates the feeling of a family hotel, where from the first day the cordial attitude of all the hotel staff is transferred to the guests.
There are buses from the hotel to Naama Bay, but we are like hikers. Thanks to the hotel, Stella once again pleased, gave a wonderful vacation. In our travel practice, this is the only hotel that we want to return to again and again.
