Stella Di Mare Beach Hotel & Spa in Sharm el Sheikh

Overall, the hotel is decent, albeit old, considering the all-inclusive concept and the clientele it's designed for.

People accustomed to a more civilized European vacation might be shocked by the behavior and savagery of those staying at the hotel. But this isn't a problem with the hotel itself, but rather with the concept itself and who it attracts.
Don't be fooled by the thousands of rave reviews. Everything is very mediocre: the breakfasts are completely tasteless, the cold meats are very low-quality, and the variety is monotonous. Lunch and dinner are good, but again, nothing particularly delicious. If you're not picky and just want to relax for a little money and eat and drink as much as you want, you'll certainly like it. If you've experienced higher levels of service and everything else, you'll likely be disappointed.

Also, a very big drawback is the lack of a beach as such. There's no sandy entrance, so it feels like you're right at the seaside 😀 But it's also a plus that there aren't many people with children who might ruin your mood with noise. In mid- to late February, there are very few people.

The staff is very friendly and nice, especially the man working and delivering orders at the beach bar. I have no complaints about the hotel itself; I knew what I was getting into and who it was for 😀
That's why I'm still giving it a high rating. But I'd like to leave an honest review, as comments from a certain crowd might confuse someone who has never been to a hotel like this before.

A nice hotel with its own reef. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need, excellent crisp white linens, a minibar, and we had a room with a gorgeous sea view on the 7th floor in the main building, for which we are very grateful. The grounds are compact and well-maintained, and the food is good. Overall, I liked the hotel and would definitely book it again.

We had a fantastic experience at this hotel! From the service to the food, everything was truly perfect. The food was incredibly delicious and varied, with something new to enjoy every day. The staff was very friendly, always helpful, and always with a smile. The cleaning and hygiene were also excellent; everything always looked neat and tidy.

The hotel is definitely recommended, and we will definitely be back! ✨

👉 The only minor drawback: we booked a triple room, but there weren't three proper beds. Instead, an extra bed was added, which made the room a bit cramped, and the bed itself was less comfortable because it was a pull-out bed. As feedback, I would recommend adding three proper beds of the same quality to the triple rooms.

Everything was amazing!! Staff is polite and friendly.
It was my boyfriend’s birthday and they even left us a nice birthday cake in room for us without even asking! So great will definitely be back

The family room, located in a three-story building adjacent to the main building, has two bedrooms. The all-inclusive package includes one main restaurant, and the food was just right for three days; any longer would be difficult. There are two other à la carte restaurants, but I noticed only one table occupied each evening. The hotel's own snorkeling area is decent, but not spectacular. During my three days, I only encountered a Chinese family of four.

A wonderful experience. The hotel is full of events and activities, and the staff is fantastic, friendly, and dedicated to serving guests with love.

This is our second time visiting the hotel, as we are happy with the lack of crowds, the food, the location and the beautiful views.

When I looked at hotels on the trip.com website, it said 5 stars, but at the hotel reception I saw that they actually had 4. As for the hotel itself, everything is generally very nice and high-quality, yes, it is not a new hotel, if you look closely you can see the consequences of use, but in general it is like a used Mercedes with a good owner, and the fact that it is used does not stop it being a Mercedes. As for the staff, everyone is as friendly and pleasant as possible, some are even very nice, there have never been any problems. I only took breakfasts, I went for lunch once, the breakfasts are good, there is plenty to choose from, but every morning it is about the same, but due to the variety, in general it does not have time to get bored. Lunch is nicer (we bought it separately once, we did not take it with a voucher, the cost of lunch is $ 13 one-time) more filling, but that is what lunch is for, I have never been to dinner, in general you can easily give 4 for food, but I am not particularly demanding in this regard. Cons: for some it may be the entry into the sea, a 10 meter long bridge and from it you go down into the water and swim, where the depth is already 2-3 meters. All because there are reefs near the shore (but there are fish and you can dive for them) and there is no smooth entry as such, like, for example, on the beach of Naama Bay. For me it was not a problem, but for someone who swims very poorly it may be an obstacle, although people were given life jackets and everything was ok, also in addition to this there are three swimming pools on the territory. Well, the location at first seemed not very good, but later it turned out that it is not bad at all, you can get to the old city by taxi on indrive for 2$ 5 km distance, to the Naama Bay square you can for about 1$ or walk at a walking pace of about 20 minutes if you go through the shopping center, plus three times in the evening a bus goes to the square from the hotel for free, takes you and takes you back three hours later, but it can be difficult to get on it, you need to book in advance. In general, to be honest, I was choosing between this hotel and the Naama Bay hotel, in terms of price and quality, these 2 seemed the most successful, I wanted more in the second, but for certain reasons it did not work out, so I chose this one and did not regret it at all, no problems, no deceptions, everything was high-quality and pleasant. The only thing I wanted to add was that I went with a friend, we are 30 years old and we thought maybe there would be parties in the hotel, young people, clubs))) but no, the rest here is more measured, light, like a sanatorium, in general, for youth parties, this is definitely not the place))) although maybe this is for the best, since you can hang out at home in Russia. Something like that, a maximally unbiased review, I repeat, only pleasant impressions remained, while I was writing I even felt a little sad that it was all over, but I think that someday I will definitely come back and here in particular!!! I posted some photos, all from the hotel grounds.

I recently stayed at Stella Di Mare in Sharm El Sheikh, and it was amazing! The location is perfect, right by the beautiful Red Sea. The corals are beautiful and are only a short walk away from the hotel area. There is a private diving spot with informed lifeguards helping.
The staff were super friendly and always ready to help.

The pools were great, and I loved the spa treatments and the massages. Dining was a highlight, with a wide variety of delicious food options. There were also plenty of activities and entertainment to keep everyone engaged.

I’ve stayed in the hotel two years in a row and will keep coming back!
Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend it!
