Stella Maris

A great view and a really nice stay. Our room was comfortable and clean, the staff were very friendly, and the food was great. I’d recommend it to others.

The room was the main letdown for us, though the stay was still good value. Its bathroom looked modern but didn’t feel very high quality. The toilet flush was extremely loud and ran for at least three minutes, so we avoided flushing at night. The tiny bathroom had a walk-in shower that left the whole floor flooded, and there was no shelf for shampoo and similar things. The air conditioning cooled the room, but it only worked when the key was in the door. After a day out, the room felt like 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit), and it took nearly half an hour to cool down. A sensor on the balcony door also stopped us from ventilating while the air conditioning was running. A room trash can would have been useful too. We liked the setting a lot. The hotel is right on the sea by a sandy beach, and there are lovely views of the beach and surrounding islands from the pool and dining area. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset over dinner each evening. Meal service was friendly and accommodating, including with our lactose intolerance. Breakfast was good, though fried foods like eggs and bacon were unfortunately very greasy. Dinner came with fries every time, and the meat side dish, which was the only part you could change, was greasy as well. We recommend the pizza and pasta from the menu. It was also nice to get a complimentary one-liter bottle of water with meals.
