Отзыв о Стелле - положительный! Feedback about Stella - positive!

Unlike the previous vacationer, I can say that my wife and I really liked the hotel and the rest in it.
Firstly, a very respectable interior: some egg-shaped gilded elevators are worth something! The hotel is new, well designed and thought out - everything is there and everything is conveniently located. And access to the beaches, and access to the pools and SPA center with a gym, and access to the reception. There is a small library, several restaurants (one - right on the beach, Asian cuisine), a billiard room, a hairdresser, a disco club, a golf course, a tennis court. Separately, it is worth describing the delights of the SPA center: you can spend the whole day there! There are free saunas, a Turkish bath, as well as (for a fee) all kinds of massages, beauty treatments, a well-equipped gym (also free). Our favorite spot is the heated outdoor "hot tub" pool - just amazing! Next to the pool, you can lie on a sun lounger, or you can walk on the grass (the views are very beautiful), or you can ride an aquacycle (like an exercise bike lowered into the water).
Service: no complaints. The staff is trained in different languages ​ ​ (English prevails), very friendly and sociable, they perfectly fulfill any request. For 5 pounds left in the room, the cleaner several times twisted such touching figurines from towels that we even took pictures of them (especially when such a figurine was also showered with flower petals) - horror, how nice!

Number: no complaints. None! The room is spacious, comfortable, thought out to the smallest detail. There is everything you might need - from a safe in the closet to a TV on the wall. Free bring 2 bottles of water per day and tea-coffee-sugar (there is a kettle and cups). Internet is also available in the room, but only via cable. We did not connect, but went out into the hall on our floor, where sitting on cozy sofas at a table you can safely work on a laptop. The speed is not exorbitant, but quite sufficient for work in mail programs.
Food: adequate. We went according to the HB scheme (breakfast and dinner) - this was quite enough for us! Buffet in the morning and in the evening, there are dishes for every taste, except for fish - these are almost non-existent. The assortment is not amazing, but the food was not boring and we always found what we wanted. By the way, food is in the restaurant - it is not recommended to go there in a T-shirt and slippers, everything is decorous and serious. Additional orders (drinks) cost a lot (for example, beer 0.33 l - 30 pounds or about $ 5), but there is no particular need for them, because. everything can be bought in Naama nearby. It is best to do this in a supermarket, for example, "Carrefour" - prices are fixed there and no one sticks and pulls the hand, as in other places - the Arabs love it. They may tell you that they love Ukraine (Russia, Belarus... ) terribly and that you, like brothers, pull "not far" to show something or "give a business card", like for free, and then it's very difficult to get out - it's better not to be fooled right away . In principle, all the goods in many shops are the same, and the price depends on your perseverance in bargaining - you can reset it several times.
Separately, I want to say about the taxi: it's cheap there!! ! But you certainly need to bargain and clarify - for how many people are we talking about. For example, you can drive to Naama Bay in 5 minutes and it is very inexpensive - no more than 10 pounds, and to El Mercato (a good fish restaurant "Farnar") - 20 pounds! The fact is that gasoline is very cheap here (a dollar is 3 liters), and the competition is very high. So bargain!
Beach and sea: SUPER! Feel like Cousteau - it's here! Such fish swim, which is already breathtaking! And all this is literally a few meters from the pier with several exits. Yes, this place may seem poor for living corals to a sophisticated diver, but we were completely satisfied with our snorkeling - we got what we wanted, even more. And for the "advanced" - diving centers, where they will teach you to swim and give you a certificate. For about 400 dollars. Well, this is someone who is unbearable to swim with scuba gear and do not feel sorry for the money. The beach itself is very well equipped - from sun loungers to bars. Towels are provided, there are lifeguards, the sand is cleaned and smoothed. Well, what else do you need? The beach opens from 7:30 and closes at about 17:00-17:15, because the sun sets early here. The beach is fenced off from the sea, because. almost along the entire length there is a small break. The hotel has its own beach, there are no strangers. Therefore, no bracelets are needed. There are two pontoon piers (one plastic, one metal), there is also a gentle entrance to the water, but you should not enter without slippers - the bottom is all in sharp stones and corals, and sea creatures can lie at the bottom of harmless. We didn't see the sharks, no matter how we looked : ) But you can see each other at a distance of up to 20 meters - the water is clean and transparent, with a bluish tinge, salty and very warm.

Of the minuses: boats constantly run near the beach (literally 10-20 meters from the buoys, which are located very close to the pontoon). The boats make noise and make waves, which is not very pleasant. Another "noisy" factor is the planes that come in to land just above the hotel. They fly here not only very low, but the noise is heard fairly, especially early in the morning with the window open. Who cares, of course, but we even liked the planes, especially at night, when they turn on the landing lights - a sight to behold!
In general, the hotel deserves a very high rating and we are crazy about the rest : ) We definitely want to come back here again, and there is no desire to experiment - we are unlikely to find a better place in Egypt. Well, at least in Sharm El Sheikh.
