Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa (Adults Only)

Wow, what can we say. Stella Island is aesthetically stunning! We were welcomed late in the evening with a cocktail and introduction to the app to check in. We were escorted to our rooms to a bottle of bubbly and some sandwiches and cakes due to our really late arrival (midnight) which was truly welcomed. We woke the next morning ready to face the day with our breakfast and to sit outside our swim up bungalow. This is where we noticed some flaws in the hotel. When in the swim up rooms, the waiting on service for drinks is non-existent. We had to go and get our own due to being consistently ignored. The team were doing a great job in serving the others on sun loungers but we almost felt punished for having a private room. We tried to reserve dinner in the restaurants across the resort, unfortunately only able to book one restaurant the whole week which we were really disappointed about. It was impossible to book via the app, there were simply no spaces. If we went to reception, we personally felt like inconveniences to them which I'm sure wasn't the case but we sure felt like it. The app crashed nearly every time we went onto it which was frustrating but didn't materially affect our holiday. One of our biggest gripes was that until our penultimate night at the hotel, we weren't told that we had an upgraded drinks list. My husband loves Corona beer and hadn't ordered it because of the price per bottle. It was just by chance that evening that he decided to just pay for one and when we didn't have to sign to say we would pay for it we were confused. We wondered if it was something to do with having it with a meal so when we went to the bar in front of reception, a kind waiter advised we should have been told this from day one. We definitely weren't. We even headed to the white store to buy a couple of bottles as they were cheaper and he enjoys them. You can imagine how shocked we were that we hadn't been told for 5 out of our 7 nights there!!! This leads me on to the food. It was lovely. Despite only getting into one restaurant (Paraiso which was incredible) we ate in the buffet restaurant every other evening. The food was really good and we had no complaints. Waiting on staff were also really attentive and we were really happy to eat in there, if somewhat disappointed that we couldn't get into the restaurants. Breakfast was also good, we recommend opting for the Kimara buffet for breakfast. Our only gripe with the food as has already been mentioned is the lack of snacks available. If you want an ice cream it's impossible to find which was really disappointing. I don't know of any other all inclusive resort that doesn't offer bar snacks?! We did enjoy our time at Stella Island but we would not be recommending it to our friends. The luxury price tag (of over £950/day for us) unfortunately isn't met with a luxury experience. If you want some gorgeous pictures for instagram, Stella Island is the place to go but if you want a luxury ex

Crack-a-lacking ! Superb so far ! Entertaining and good service well worth a visit at any time of the year ! All the restaurants have been perfect so far. Lovely walk along the beach with is 3 minutes away, drinks choice is brilliant ! Pool is superb ! More lady’s in bikinis needed ;)

A beautiful resort - extremely relaxing and quiet at this time. The sun was shining all day but the evenings were colder so definitely bring a jacket. The food was lovely - the a la carte restaurants made the holiday. The buffet was excellent but could get repetitive. The only downside was the service was a bit slow with drinks. Sometimes they would forget that you had ordered them. But this was only when at the beach beds. Not at any of the bars! Would definitely return.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was amazing both in the buffet breakfast and lunch as well as the booked in advance dinners. The pool area in front of our swim up was amazing and right by the bar so it made it very easy. I recommend this resort to all.

Amazing adult-only resort! I arrived with a small group of ladies and we were all smiles. The staff was welcoming. Nick (grounds driver staff) was very accommodating to all of us. The resort grounds and nightly entertainment were nothing but the best. There are various room categories and some bathrooms are better than others. The breakfast and dinner buffet had a variety of selections and it tasted good. The next store resort is their family (waterpark) resort. We visited there and it was amazing as well. I will be returning...

I've had my fair share of all inclusive holidays and this was by far the best experience I've had! Arrival The welcome was warm and was made better by the fact that some cold plates were waiting our arrival in our room. We were also given the option to order room service at no extra charge despite it being after 23:00. The Room We opted for the premium pool view, the room was spacious with a fully stocked mini bar and coffee machine. I honestly could not fault the room. The Food Hands down the best food I've had an all inclusive resort, whether we opted for buffet dining or one of their restaurants we were not disappointed. For once I did not get the dreaded "food fatigue" where everything starts to taste the same. The staff This was the icing on the cake, the staff were so pleasant and always ready to assist. Giannis always made sure that we had what ever we needed, whether it was day time by the pool or at night at Paraiso. The entertainment This was different, entertainment at all inclusives are usually a chore and just something to kill time, however at Stella Island the entertainment is actually entertaining lol Departure Despite us having a late flight we still were able to use the facilities right up until we left. All in all this was a great stay and we will definitely be coming back
