Stella Maris Hotel

Unfortunately I only give it a four star because of the service we received from a couple of the staff. Some staff were very miserable no matter how nice you were to them. Also we had all our luggage stolen in Pisa just before our flight to Sardinia and once we arrived to the hotel at midnight with no belongings or bags, not one person during our 12 day stay there had offered us assistance or a discount on something, or a credit to the spa for what we had been through. Coming from Canada and our dollar being so weak, we paid so much for 11 night stay here, the least they could have done was offer even a dinner for one night. The beds were very uncomfortable and the pillows were hard. The rooms are extremely small for three people. We had an ocean view but blocked by a palm tree, still very nice. The hotel is not big at all, but close to Villasimius so you can go there to shop and try different restaurants. Now onto the good, the hotel is very clean, and the garden to the beach is well kept and pretty. The beach is beautiful, warm water, white sand, and no rocks. Sardinia is a stunning island, I guess you pay high to stay directly on the beach, but well worth it.

**Hotel Stella Maris Review** **Beach and Pools:** **Pluses:** - Beautiful sandy beach with clear water. - Clean pool and well-maintained pool area. - Delicious ice cream available. **Minuses:** - Guests must go down to the beach to pick up towels and then return to the pool. - No service available at either the pool or the beach. - Extremely windy on some days, making it difficult to enjoy the beach. **Rooms (We stayed in a Superior Suite):** **Pluses:** - Clean and satisfactory, with a lovely view. - Ample towels and bathrobes provided. - Spacious mirrors. - Large balconies. **Minuses:** - Not as modern as depicted in the booking photos (the hotel seems to use AI-enhanced images to make the rooms appear more attractive). - Missing amenities mentioned during booking, such as a “living room table” and “armchairs”; instead, there was only one small chair per room and no any living room table. - While the balconies are large, they only have two small chairs and a small table, making it uncomfortable to relax and fully enjoy the view. **Breakfast:** **Pluses:** - Eggs cooked to your preference can be ordered at the table. - Good selection of pastries. **Minuses:** - Outdoor seating is only available from Wednesday to Sunday. - Extra items incur additional charges (e.g., €2 for each item if you want to add bacon to your eggs or veggies/cheese to your omelet). Fresh orange juice costs €7 and is served in a very small size, even smaller than their latte glass. **Dinner:** **Pluses:** - Large buffet featuring desserts and fruits. - Good selection of wines. **Minuses:** - Very disorganized service. There is an odd system where only one person takes orders while the other waiters only serve and clear dishes. Many waiters appear to be either running chaotically between tables or standing around chatting instead of working. Despite having 8-9 waiters for 20-25 tables, we waited more than 30 minutes just to place our order. My dish, “suckling pig,” consisted mainly of fat with very little meat. After requesting a change, I waited another 30 minutes before they realized they had forgotten it. - Food quality could be improved. We had half board and could choose three dishes from the menu plus dessert. While the pasta and beef were generally good, we were often dissatisfied with the starters and main courses. The worst was a starter called “fresh marinated scallops infused with lemon and coconut milk,” which turned out to be some salted grey pieces and no hint of coconut milk—likely made from canned ingredients rather than fresh. **Staff:** **Pluses:** - Generally friendly staff. **Minuses:** - Most staff members have limited English proficiency.

Stella Marris live up to its slogan of "not an ordinary hotel." Situated near a prominent beach - Spiaggia di Campulongu, the hotel offers all of the essential amenities and comforts: good restaurant, friendly staff, well kept garden grounds offering shaded sea views just steps away from the private beach with beach beds and umbrellas. A word of caution: the beach service is included in the room price only if booked through the hotel. We booked through the Booking.com website and were surprised at the cost of beach service - 60/70 Euros/day. That aside our stay experience was positive. A good breakfast to start your day, an excellent beach, the hotel location within an easy access to Villasimius and Costa Rei made for an enjoyable vacation.

I had my wedding ceremony at Hotel Stella Maris. The venue is absolutely stunning, it looked and felt like a fairytale. The atmosphere was magic and very relaxed; the personnel very attentive to ours and our guests' needs and committed to make our wedding a special and perfect. Thank you to the hotel Director Marco and the whole Stella Maris team, from the reception staff, to the Metre, to the waiters and waitresses for making our day so memorable.

Great and highly recommended hotel. Wonderful location, very friendly stuff, clean and peaceful. We will return with friends 😁 Thing to improve slightly: - poor wifi - very basic breakfast

Thank you very much for best hotel and Servis.||Everything wass be good.||The staff was very nice and helpful. Whatever we needed was never a problem.||Hotel and room everyday very clean. Food very delicious. ||We would love to come back again.

The price is more than what we excepted as 4 star hotel. Service was not 4 star as well, some staff really kind and helpful but some was not giving service. Breakfast can be improved more. Location is far from crown and you need to take taxi for everything.

Very disappointed with this hotel, mostly catered towards the elderly, most guests seemed to be 70+ during our stay. Little or no atmosphere, staff polite and professional but not particularly friendly. Overpriced. ||The art work was a little tacky, lots of half naked or burlesque cartoon style women. None of which ran seamlessly alongside each-other.||We only stayed B&B as had read the poor restaurant reviews. Breakfast was nice with a good selection of foods but you’re charged extra if you want a bottle of water on your table instead of pouring it at the buffet area. The manager sent a waiter over to charge me on one of our first mornings - so I return the bottle and filled our four glasses as needed and the bottle was still empty so it was ridiculous - just empty in the buffet area not on our table. ||The beach is lovely but to hire loungers is extortionate, for a family of four it would be €780 for a week. The ‘beach package’ which includes these is only available if you book directly with the hotel. Surely this needs to be included in your stay however you book or the prices reviewed?||It was incredibly clean and the ladies servicing the rooms were really friendly and smiley. They did an amazing job.||Overall, I would recommend this hotel if you’re retired and looking for a very quiet few days near a nice beach. Car hire a must.

Staff were great, Rooms perfect, food great choice, This was our second year at the Stella Maris Hotel and it was much the same as last year very consistent. We will book again next year.
