THE REVIEW IS NEGATIVE, I AM NOT A BORE, BUT SO WE RESTED IN STELLA DI MARE:
We rested at the end of August. The impression is made up of many factors, but generally negative.
MAIN REASON BAD ROOM: sooo bad room comfort room in the villa and lack of service in the room (no balcony, small room, nowhere to dry things, nowhere to put a suitcase - it was just on the floor, the bathroom is such that it’s terribly to become barefoot in it, in a week the floor never washed !! ! sand creaked underfoot, cleaning the room consisted of opening the window and changing the bed with holes and stains, the same thing with towels - they put new ones on the shelf above the bathroom, in 5 stars one-time shampoo cannot be missing in principle , from cosmetics, shower gel and body cream, check-out from the room strictly at 12-00 and no one cares that we paid for 7 days, and upon arrival we checked in at 19-00. upon check-out, we left the room at 12-00 in front of the door there was a cleaner, I thought that he was going to drag our suitcase to the reception desk because it’s far away, but no))) we didn’t even close the door as he flew into the room and started rattling the mini bar with a roar. While we finished our suitcase to the elevator of the main building and waited for the elevator, the cleaner ran ahead of us like a rocket to the reception desk from the 2nd floor to the 7th on foot and as a result, I say check out at the reception desk and they give me a printout like we owe 30 pounds for minibar, like we ate 2 schoolchildren that we didn’t see in our eyes, for 15 minutes he called somewhere 10 times and found out something, as a result he wrote a petition that the guests said that there was no chocolate, etc. , in short, we did not pay anything but not pleasant mood spoiled)

Maybe we were just unlucky with the number and this is the impression. We booked through the turtess comfort room, I asked for the main building, a sea view and a balcony, they said, well, we will write it in the notes, they assured us that in the villas there are only villas, but there are no rooms, and we will get 100% into the main building, which turned out to be untrue . It is not clear how much we did not begin to sort things out, to pay extra, we did not want to spoil our nerves.
+ in the room that I tried to find: slippers, bathrobes, wi-fi is sooo weak, it’s not clear how and where he finished off in principle. At the reception they offer a cable for a laptop, but there is nowhere to insert it into my tablet, the stone age cable internet in the hotel is 10 years old.
TOTAL ROOM ---------
+ BEACH: the impression of the beach is positive, the sunbeds were quickly covered with towels (of course, the towels look creepy red-green)
It was convenient to swim from a plastic boom, shoes are not needed.
For lovers of reefs and fish: the reef is sooo poor and there are few fish!!!!
They carried water in plastic cups, sometimes melon on skewers, sprinkled it with lemon-scented ice water from a spray bottle) The beach guy was very delicate and hardworking all 7 days, he was the same, I liked it. For those who plan to travel with children: the beach is not suitable for children, not a fenced steep cliff, they did not see a playground, for children I saw a passive kids room and that's it.
TOTAL BEACH +
FOOD: Meals were taken HB were always full, dinners were not needed in principle. The food is NORMAL, not supper, not bad, but NORMAL. At dinner, they certainly cannot do without a whole rack of mayonnaise dumb salads and sliced ​ ​ soy sausage, well, they have such a trick. I chose, there was a whole shelf with just chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, etc. Meat-chicken was mostly beef cooked in different ways. There was fish, I didn't try it, my husband didn't like it. To drink for dinner is water, just normal water, you don’t have time to finish it. The fruits were in full volume, the assortment alternated: pear, peach, apples, bananas, melon, watermelon, grapes. Delicious sweets. WHOLE FOOD +

ENTERTAINMENT IN THE HOTEL: Animators came up on the beach and offered to go to aerobics, play darts and something else. In the evening, the girl just danced oriental dances for 30 minutes at this entertainment program ended. the hotel has a disco hall, we did not go, once there was karaoke and dancing with ice cream for $ 8 entrance per person. we didn't go.
TOTAL LACK OF ENTERTAINMENT+
TOURS:
From 7 days, 2 days were occupied with excursions by ATVs and Ras Muhamed on a ship - I didn’t like everything. instead of 15 minutes, the turtess took us on excursions for 2 hours, sat on buses, piers and waited wherever possible, rode around all the hotels, etc.
Stories about excursions - fairy tales. In Ras Muhamed, the reef was more beautiful than in the hotel, but we did not see the sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ fish, solitary specimens swam. 3 stops were promised, drinks, a buffet, etc. blah blah, as a result, rice, cola in a glass, the ship swam around the corner, stopped and stood for 4 hours called dive people, 2nd stop - wound up, sailed 150 m . for 2 minutes and stopped for 2 hours - swim people, 3rd stop swam for 10 minutes - stopped for 2 hours - swim people, this is the type of races muhamed.

ATVs: - picked up from the hotel at 15-00 at 22-15 returned to their place. We drove for 2 hours, for another 50 minutes we sat in the scorching sun in the crowd on the squares, breathing burning. We were driving in a column swallowing dust, my husband moved down to the floor of the quadra away from the column in order to swallow less dust and not drive on the washboard, I followed him, he was stopped by an accompanying Arab in Russian and English. the one who didn’t speak like that yelled at him, I thought there would be a fight, the turtess guides drove up, the 2nd rode in parallel on the buggies, also Arabs but Russian-speaking, I asked them to translate to him that you shouldn’t talk to us like that, no one explained the rules of movement in the convoy before leaving . We arrived at the clearing, put us on bedding, drank a glass of body tea, water 2 USD, etc. , take it with you on your shoulders in a backpack so that you are not bred. The next stop was a buffet dinner (rice) and a show, they brought it, put it around the stage and we waited for the show and dinner for 1.5 hours, people were just at a loss, it got dark, there were only Arabs around, not a single accompanying our nationality. / Somewhere at 8 pm they gave a rice buffet of rice, now I love rice after Egypt))))))) and the show began, the man danced circling in skirts and walked on the glass + fire show. In pitch darkness, we reached the bus stop, only Arabs, people were seated like this: they put them in a minibus, the driver asked them where to go? there’s something like, no, it’s not far from your hotel, and that’s how they shuffled us for 40 minutes. and drove 1.2 hours.
About the turtess tour operator: before that, we went with theses, we liked everything, this time we went with a turtess and we had fun. Upon arrival, we sat on the bus for 40 minutes and drove to the hotel for 1.40 minutes in the list of 6 hotels, the stella was 5th. We were taken back to the airport in 45 minutes (this is a super fast type) after the stella we stopped by 2 more hotels. Although really to the hotel to go 20 minutes crawling. All accompanying and guides are Egyptians, on the road no one said anything about the country, etc. as normal tour operators do and the road passes quickly. The hotel guide Ihab is good, polite, I don’t even get angry at him for stuffed sucky excursions.
We went to Naama 2 times in the evening, along a short road 15 minutes at a pace. We went to the old city. I immediately warn you that they are clinging, making a fool, etc. , which is very annoying. Although adult Egyptians under 60 with whom we talked left a good impression of themselves.
That's all. I don't want to go to Egypt anymore.
