Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa (Adults Only) from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Stella Island is praised for its beautiful resort design and spacious rooms. Some guests particularly enjoyed the sea view from room #50 and easy access to the nearby attraction park. Guests appreciated multiple pools and found food tasty with plentiful of choices of restaurants, including a restaurant where they felt thoroughly spoilt by the delightful Rania and George, who encouraged guests to try different dishes. A few visitors have noted a lack of privacy on the patios in certain locations, but overall the resort provides a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

paradise found

gym amazing restaurants large grounds

The on-site gym helped me stay with my workout routine. It was very convenient. the buffet offered decent options. the restaurants with a la carte service were excellent. the resort grounds are larger than i initially expected, so there's a lot to explore.

i think reception when you first arrive needs to be faster. after a flight, i wanted to get to my room without waiting around.

resort design pool view kind staff unfriendly workers high price 5-star hotel

The resort design was very beautiful. the view from our room was fine. the staff was kind from the bar staff to the reception. our room had a great view of the pool. We loved that. we felt very welcomed there.

The workers seemed bothered even though they smiled. it didn't feel like they wanted to. the hotel didn't feel like a 5-star resort at all. I'd rate it 4 stars. it isn't worth the high price at all.

Acceptable Resort Stay

appealing look high cleanliness friendly staff inadequate lighting no bathtub shaded sunbeds

The resort looked visually appealing, especially at night. Cleanliness was maintained at a high level throughout the premises. The staff members were generally friendly and polite, offering good service in the restaurants.

My swim-up room lacked proper bathroom facilities. It only had a sink and a mirror near the bed. A separate shower and toilet were available. The lighting was inadequate, and there was no bathtub. Locating a sunny spot was difficult as many sunbeds remained shaded for most of the day.
