We stayed at Stella Blue Seaside Resort as a couple and overall had an amazing experience. The service was outstanding – every waiter went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after, which really made our stay feel special. The food was also a highlight. Compared to other all-inclusive resorts we’ve visited, the quality was definitely higher, although the buffet itself was on the smaller side with less variety than expected. That said, the desserts were exceptional and a real standout, and the ‘Blé’ bar for lunch was excellent, offering food to a very high standard. Aesthetically, the hotel is stunning. Every part of it is beautifully designed and perfect for photos, and the rooms are just as tasteful and well put together. It really has that luxury feel throughout. We stayed in a jacuzzi room, which we enjoyed in the evenings – it was a really nice touch and made the stay feel extra special. The sliding doors were also a great feature, as we could turn the TV to watch from outside, which we loved. Having Netflix available on the TV added a really cosy, homely feel too. They also have a great indoor spa, which costs €20 per person – very reasonable considering how nice and relaxing it is, and definitely worth a visit during your stay. The only downside was a slight ant issue in our room, which unfortunately wasn’t handled as efficiently as we would have liked. However, this didn’t take away too much from what was otherwise a fantastic stay. Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend this resort to other couples looking for a stylish, relaxing getaway.

This hotel is in a beautiful setting only a few metres from the sea. There is very little around the resort, you can walk to Analipsi but there is very little there. The resort is new so everything is in great condition. The room was quite basic/simplistic/tasteful but very comfortable. A very comfy bed and pillows. A powerful shower although at times the water could have been a bit hotter. The only problem was storage. There were no drawers, so everything had to be either hung up or placed on open shelves. We did have an occasional issue with ants but only felt the need to report this on our last day when it was significantly worse. The pool areas are immaculate and sunbeds very comfortable. We never had an issue getting a sunbed and towels are provided daily (by changing with a pool attendant) There are bars available at both pools and the areas are kept immaculately clean The food was delicious with really good food choices in the buffet but after a week despite changes this got monotonous. The only downside was that often the hot food on the buffet was at times only lukewarm, certainly edible and tasty but should be kept much hotter. The à la carte served lovely quality food but sadly again as a group of 4, 3 had some of the food served cold. The staff are lovely with a particular mention to Ronald and Gerald in the buffet who were always smiling and very helpful. The staff were always there to keep drinks topped up at the table. Coffee and tea is delivered to order, not a help yourself which personally I prefer. The main lobby bar at times could get extremely busy particularly if people were ordering cocktails. Sometimes only one person was serving so this could definately be more reactive with more staff at busy times. On many occasions it was perfectly fine and there could be up to four people serving. We only ate at the poolside bar once for lunch as we much preferred the buffet. We enjoyed the entertainment although not always to our taste it was very good. We didn’t go to the spa or gym. Our friends did go to the gym and said it was excellent. Overall the hotel is lovely, great quality, great staff and good value for money. A few small tweaks could make it outstanding

“Nice enough but nothing like Stella Island”

Unfortunately we had been to Stella Island earlier in the year, so we had been totally spoiled for any other holiday. Although Stella Blus is fine, it is a world away from next door in every sense.

Being brand new it was all very nice and clean. Not a true adults only. If you can, go next door for a truly wonderful experience.

We had a mix of good and bad experiences at this hotel. Thankfully, we booked a year in advance, securing a great deal for a five-night stay by booking directly with the hotel. The free transfer to the resort was very convenient. However, our late-night arrival led to a lengthy check-in process, and all we wanted was to get to bed! They required a copy of the bank statement from when I paid for the hotel, which took a while to locate. It would have been helpful to know this in advance so I could have it ready. Our room, number 310, was lovely and had a nice view over one of the pools. We enjoyed the room despite the limited storage space, which was manageable for our five-night stay. The hotel itself is beautiful and perfect for Instagram pictures! Unfortunately, it rained all night on our first night, which limited our activities the next day, but we made good use of the gym, which was a plus. Breakfast was delightful, with plenty of options. However, by the last day, we noticed some inconsistency in the quality. One area that needed improvement was the hot drinks in the main restaurant; we tried various coffees and teas, but they were not satisfactory. Thankfully, the lobby bar served proper coffee, which we enjoyed most days after breakfast. The staff at the lobby bar were entertaining as well! Lunch and dinner options were quite similar, and the salads were consistently good. We managed to find something we liked for dinner, but fussy eaters might struggle. We had lunch at Blu one day, which was disappointing—cold and bland—so we decided to stick with the main restaurant for the rest of our meals. The staff were hit or miss. The Guest Relations Manager was lovely; she handled a cleaning issue very professionally and always made an effort to engage with us. Huge shoutout to Miya at the pool bar—she was incredibly friendly and hardworking, regardless of how busy she was! In contrast, Nehfil was consistently rude throughout our stay and seemed uninterested. On a positive note, Kostas made the best White Russian cocktail! He mentioned he was new, but he was a pro and a great asset to the team. We encountered an issue with our room not being cleaned until we asked on the fourth day, which was disappointing. Their idea of cleaning was quite different from mine; they only changed the towels, and the bed wasn’t made, the floor wasn’t swept, and all the glasses and cups were still there. The manager and the Guest Relations Manager addressed this issue and were very apologetic. As mentioned, the staff's performance was inconsistent, and since it was the start of the season, many new staff members were being trained, which might have contributed to the challenges. Despite these issues, the hotel was truly beautiful, and we managed to disconnect for a few days and have a lovely time. There isn’t much around the hotel, but we walked into Analipsi one evening for a change of scenery and had a great time. I suppose it depends on whether you want to go out and spend money. All in all, it was a lovely stay, but some small changes could elevate this place to a 5-star experience!
