The hotel is very good for Egypt, a solid five.
Pros:
- good location, at the end of Naama Bay, you can walk or take a taxi for $ 5;
- excellent service, not rude, very courteous staff. Managers are interested in the quality of service. The hotel management is European. Nobody begs for tips, there is no familiarity;
- a great area, although small, but very clean, perfect lawns in German. All pools are heated above 25 degrees, the one near the spa center, then all 30 will be (it is also on the street);
- great, clean spa. Unlike all Egyptian hotels, two saunas, a Turkish hammam and a wet bath are free.

- the best beach in Egypt. Imported fine sand, comfortable new sunbeds. And most importantly, you don’t need to carry beach towels with you when you approach the sunbed, a beach boy runs up and spreads a towel for you, and the second rolls up under your head. Two piers, one of them is capital, stationary. There is an opinion that a weak reef is not true. People are too lazy to walk to the stationary pier, which is built just at the end of the reef, and so there is a complete set;
- good new rooms. In the room: Egyptian cotton bedding, LCD TV, bathrobes, slippers, tea, coffee, 2 bottles of water for free. Everything in the minibar is chargeable. Housekeeping is good;
- good food. The main restaurant is like a restaurant, not a canteen. The food is European, of high quality (there were no poisonings in the hotel). To the typical menu, there were seafood, sushi (really wish for better), a good selection of fruits, even lightly salted salmon was, and in general, sea fish was well cooked. Yummy ice-cream;
Cons that are pros for me:
- rather weak animation, that is, it is, the girls bypass everyone, tell the daily routine and invite them to various sporting events. In the evening, the piano plays in the lobby bar and some show takes place in the hall on the 8th floor. The disco bar starts working at ten. That is, everything is very decorous and noble (as for me it is so good). Who needs loud music around the hotel, team pushing each other into fables, a show with dressing men in women's clothes, Mr. and Miss of the hotel, friendly hotel songs and dances by the pool, then this hotel is not for you;
- The contingent is mostly elderly Europeans. Again, it suits me, but someone does not.
- The hotel is not very suitable for families with children. There is only a tiny piece of the beach where it is possible to have a baby in the sea. And so I did not notice that they were actively engaged. Children may be bored.
All. As you can see, the cons are not significant and are no longer cons, but nit-picking.
I always rest in good 5s. I never had high hopes for Egypt, and the concept of stardom in this country, to put it mildly, is conditional. Stella Di Mare, I rate it as an average Turkish five, that is, you can go, no fears and feelings that no one will have a spoiled vacation. I think that some will be delighted, more spoiled ones will have a good, calm time, without frills. But the hotel is not positioned as a deluxe.
