Stella Palace

Second year we came and massively disappointed and didn’t live up to the year before, service from maids and staff all around other than the Greek restaurant staff. Cleanliness was appalling this year. Now to get the worst part. We had a watch stolen from our room, we had a faulty sliding door and all very suspicious activity with staff and decorators. Managers insists it’s safe and monitored but anyone could walk in off the beach main road easily especially to the rooms close to that area. Shame as the year before we enjoyed just shows how much can change in a year

Booked here for a family of 14 however due to personal circumstances had to cancel 7 of the party. Last minute two of us decided to book for a 5 day stay, right at the very end of the season. Well we were not disappointed. The hotel is immaculately clean. Rooms are cleaned daily and the food on offer in the Buffett restaurant is excellent with different choices every day. The many pools are exceptional and the water flumes were one of the best we’ve ever been to. Reception staff, Costas, was excellent and nothing we asked was too much trouble. We chose to eat in different restaurants which you pre-book the day before. Mexican and the steakhouse were both fantastic. If you’re looking for a family friendly resort which is of a superior quality then look no further than Stella Palace resort. Loved it so much we will definitely be looking to book for next year but this time bringing those family members who could not join us this time around. Also to mention, many guests re-gift their inflatables therefore there is no need to purchase any they are always available somewhere on the resort. Entertainment laid on nightly which was really good especially the children’s entertainment. Well worth a visit!

We booked 10 days here pretty much at random, only 3 weeks before the holiday and we certainly fell on our feet. Suitcases whisked away on arrival and a personal check-in and overview of the resort while we sipped a welcome drink.|Our 1st floor room was beautiful with a massive bathroom and view over the pool and the pool bar to the left. (It closes at 8pm so there's no noise from it late at night, don't worry).|The staff are all lovely - very efficient, friendly and attentive - nothing is too much trouble. The guys at the pool bar were fantastic - lovely guys and very efficient - from the first moment they made us feel very welcome. It is a real skill to give every customer great service and appear to give you all the time in the world while serving 40 people!|There's a really nice, very modern gym and the landscaping and endless pools meander around the horse-shoe shaped complex. Apparently it can accomodate over 400 people but you can't tell - it is all low-rise and subtley done. Beautiful. |The food is stunning and is perhaps the highlight of the place. The buffet serves an extensive range of dishes with 3 or 4 "show stations" where they hand-prepare beautiful dishes for you - fish ceviche, crispy skinned sea bass, mini burgers, etc - all presented like a top restaurant. Plus the usual buffet style salads and dishes like lasagne, chips, etc.|The a la carte restaurants are amazing - the service and presentation are top notch. Honestly, you could be in a top London restaurant, it is that good.|We were on the basic AI package so you get most everything but all the wine is greek, which was fine by me - I'm a big fan already. But you can buy wine by the bottle or some are included in the Premium AI package that comes with the more expensive rooms. One nice thing for a wino like me is that the greek house wines were different in each place, so you got to experience a wide range of greek grape varieties and styles, not just the same ones everywhere. A nice touch.|The only issue you might find, especially when busy, is the lack of sunbeds and, especially, those that are actually IN the sun. The resort faces north so the sun rises on one side of it, throwing that side into shadow, then sets on the other side, throwing that into shadow. We were there in their last week or so of operation so the sun was lower than the summer, so maybe it's not such an issue then.|All-in-all, the best hotel we've ever stayed in for service, food and facilities and that is comparing it to places like the Maldives.

We had a wonderful stay at the Stella Palace and can wholeheartedly recommend it to other travelers. Positive Aspects • The resort grounds are beautifully designed, very well-maintained, and filled with greenery, creating a relaxing atmosphere. • Everything is tastefully decorated — from the stylish apartments to the elegant restaurant interiors and even the staff uniforms. • Our children absolutely loved the aquapark; it’s a highlight for families. • The staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive throughout the resort. • The dining options are diverse thanks to the various themed restaurants, for which guests receive meal vouchers, ensuring a great variety of food experiences. Areas for Improvement • The hotel’s beach is not particularly appealing. However, after a 10-minute walk, you can reach a much nicer beach. • The main buffet restaurant, Poseidon, can get quite noisy — the acoustic level is more reminiscent of a train station than a dining hall, which takes away from the otherwise good food experience. • Some guests unfortunately detract from the holiday atmosphere: by 8:30 a.m. many sunbeds are already reserved with towels (an issue the hotel could manage more strictly), and in the restaurants some parents let their children watch videos on phones or tablets at high volume. Overall, Stella Palace remains an excellent choice for families looking for quality.

My boyfriend and I visited Stella Island for my birthday and from the moment we walked in were welcomed with excellent service. The staff were so attentive throughout our stay and everyone truly went above and beyond making our stay as amazing as possible. There was a wide wide range of food options and the quality of food at the buffet is the best I've experienced from a hotel. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you again for making my birthday so unforgettable!

Absolutely lovely place. Food, staff, rooms and all facilities are great. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. Friendly and helpful. The swim-up was fantastic, quiet most of the time and waiter service to pool side was unexpected but appreciated. Private beach areas are lovely too. The water park for the granddaughter is great too. We all had a go on that😆.

Got back last week after a 7 day stay here. Family of four and we all had great relaxing time. Soon as reach resort greeted with smiles all round. Agapi who works at main restaurant was amazing with my kids that my smallest kid only wanted to eat at that restaurant so she can see her. Lucy and ruby at the kids club are fantastic. As the kids had great time we as a couple could just relax. Waterpark was well staff as well. Definitely see me and family going back.
