Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa (Adults Only)

beds were comfortable, rooms were nice. Champagne and dessert surprise for our anniversary. Live music the second night

Entire resort smelled like sewage. We were told both breakfast locations had the same food. Come to find out the second one was unexpectedly closed on us the second day and first one was way better. Pool was freezing. Nothing to do at the resort. Live music was nice but one night we stayed in room and could hear live music throught the night and couldn't sleep. Bet this place was nice 5 years ago.. Also, "Adults ony" but literally shares a border to it's sister company which is a WATER PARK FOR KIDS. Kids screaming up and down across the fence.

The place looks like it was taken from a postcard, it is beautiful and has a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The staff is amazing and polite, taking care of everything you need with kindness. The facilities are maintained to a high standard and the food is excellent.

Everything was wonderful, breakfast was good, great options. The entire vibe of the hotel was pure relaxation. We loved it so much we stayed an additional night.

Not much, to be very picky- the buffet could have similar staff to the restaurants, but it could have been just our experience.

Friendly staff

Very uncomfortable beds. Some restaurants were good, some I would have expected better for the price.

Absolute paradise and all the restaurants are so continent

The air conditioning was leaking and our room was next to the bins and the smell was not great

The entire place was fantastic. We had such a beautiful time and our room was incredible. We were given the best room available and we were treated incredibly well.

They forgot the birthday cake for my parents birthday. We were also left waiting for a menu for 1 hour in a restaurant when it was basically empty then food took another 2 hours. In our second restaurant it again took 3 hours to get any food.When our room was cleaned they didn’t change the glasses or bring new towels. The shampoo was missing when we first got there:It was great but there was a lot of small mistakes that felt frustrating especially when I had arranged birthday surprises that then didn’t happen.

I literally loved everything about this trip there is nothing I could say other than thank you to the staff for going above and beyond for my 30th birthday and making the trip so memorable for me and everyone else!

The only 2 things I could say if anything were that the room we chose was more elevated because of my birthday but everyone in our group booked different rooms so we were able to see what they all looked like. The physical room was to me not worth what they charged for it. A friend of mine with a regular premium room with swim up pools room was bigger than ours. The other thing was the spa, I found all the services we received to be just okay. As a frequent spa goer and international travelers that goes to spas I’ve enjoyed a few and this was just fine. For the price my favorite thing was the facial I received.

We loved everything about our stay at Stella Island. The staff, the food, the decor, how clean it was.

There’s nothing not to like, it’s all beautiful

The whole resort is beautiful. We liked the restaurants and the amenities there. Our room was spectacular and our private lounge area was perfect. The staff were all amazing and so helpful.

Nothing. I only wish the check-out time was later!

The resort is stylishly designed with light colors, including blue, brown, and white. It’s the perfect size—not too big and not too small. You can walk anywhere in just a few minutes.There are several large pools, amazing bars, and a fun, friendly staff.The evening shows are delightful for adults and can certainly spark romance between couples. The food options are varied. If you enjoy Israeli cuisine, I highly recommend dining at La Parilla for both lunch and dinner. Make sure to download the Stella app to view the menu and book a reservation as soon as you arrive.Opt for the all-inclusive package, especially if you plan to spend the entire day at the hotel. It includes a variety of alcoholic beverages, brunch, dinner, and plenty of other options.If you're traveling in October, pack a jacket, as the nights can get chilly. You can still enjoy swimming during the day if the sun is shining and even get a nice tan.***If you travel there, please, please get me the recipe for the "Por Star Martini." It’s the best cocktail I’ve ever tasted! My Instagram is noharbatit. ??? I forgot to ask the bartender.***Enjoy!

Stella Island is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I could sadly only stay one night (from a 3pm check-in til 11a the next day), but they let me use the resort facilities until 6pm after I checked out so I could soak in the sun a bit more. Marina welcomed me warmly and gave me lots of great advice. I was in #50, toward the end of the resort...there are pros and cons to this location. You have a view of the sea as well, and you get more wind (which is probably great in the summer, but made it a bit chilly in mid-October). Be aware that there's not much privacy on those delightful patios...some of the ones closer to reception have a bit more distance from others, so more privacy (if this is important to you, note it when booking). The food and drinks were delicious, the service was amazing. My room was spacious and bed was comfortable.

My only real complaint is value for money. While Stella Island was amazing, I felt it was still way too expensive for the offering and the fact that Crete is a quite affordable destination even for luxury offerings. Also, they have a more limited all-inclusive offering than I've run into...I was only allowed an appetizer, main, and dessert, where at other luxury all-inclusives I've been able to order whatever I want. Overall I'd have happily paid $800-900 a night (I was there mid-October, so not high season either), but $1,700 felt way too high.

Beautiful resortGreat choice of restaurants/barsFood really good Amazing staff/service throughoutComfy Sunbed’s Love the pianist/saxophonist at breakfastGreat evening entertainment

Very hard to find a negative but if I were to be picky..Pools were too coldPeople reserving sun loungers/shouldn’t be allowedFull length mirror in bedrooms would be goodNo bottle opener in room

The property was just as advertised. The room we stayed in felt like home which was the premium shared pool. The property was clean and customer service was wonderful.

There should be charging stations located outside where you lounge. Options of English channels and the

Overall really great stay. Staff by the pool were very attentive, food on the whole was really good. Facilities good

Few times our mini bar wasn’t refilled and we weren’t told that all inclusive had a time limit and stopped at 11pm

The staff was absolutely amazing, we loved everyone at Makuti Bar, our favorite bar to visit. Marianna is an amazing Hospitality expert! All in all we had a 10/10 experience and will recommend the resort to everyone we know!

The facilities closed down at 11pm for the All inclusive and we wished there was more of a nightlife feel than the show at the end of the night. A lounge with some light house music would be amazing!

Clean pools for swimming,modern fitness

Extremely high price!500 euro per nidht without lunch and drinks!And the food was really too much,but most of the dishes were not tasty at all.May be the purpose is to use the other restaurants,which are paid.The location is not good too.

Great food options, lovely rooms, attentive staff and great resort

It can take some time when waiting for drinks at the bars. I would have also liked more exercise classes throughout the day. There was only one or two each morning and tended to be CrossFit. They were good classes but more variety would be good.The beach wasn’t amazing!

The hotel was just beautiful, just like the pictures! It definitely didn’t disappoint. The staff and service were impeccable, so friendly and accommodating to anything we needed. The food in all restaurants was to a very high standard. The resort was always kept to a high standard. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful hotel! Very modern! Lovely pools! Great food! Good entertainment! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially Maria and Florian (bar staff at Cabana)Would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning!

Buffet didn’t have a great option of choice at lunch and dinner but there’s loads of restaurants to choose from!

Fantastic facilities. Amazing resort setup.

Some staff were very rude. Really put a dampener on our experience. This occurred on several occasions. Buffet breakfast and dinner was average in comparison to a lot of other hotels we’ve stayed at. Very expensive price point for Crete.
