Stella Palace Aqua Park Resort

We’ve had 10 days here and it’s been absolutely lovely. The pools are gorgeous and the food is lovely. The entertainment team have been amazing with our children keeping them occupied and happy! Special shout out to Bailey and Leah! Made our holiday! Hope to go back next year! Would definitely recommend

We had an excellent stay and overall really loved the hotel. The pool area was fantastic, with very comfortable sun loungers and, most importantly, no sun lounger wars! There were always plenty of beds available, which made relaxing around the pool really easy.

The only downside to the pool area was the lack of public toilets. The toilets near the bar also had an unpleasant smell, so we often ended up going back to our room to use the bathroom.

The food was good, with a decent selection and plenty of variety. Breakfast was lovely, and we particularly enjoyed starting the day with the range of options available. Some evenings were better than others, but we were generally very happy with the choice. Our favourite meal was lunch at the Elia restaurant, which had delicious food, lovely views and a really nice atmosphere. The selection of drinks in the evening was also very good. We made our way down the cocktail menu during our stay

Our children loved the mini disco and the evening entertainment, which added to the fun and made the evenings enjoyable for the whole family.

Our family room was very spacious and, as expected, very clean. The cleaners were particularly friendly and did a great job throughout our stay. There were a couple of issues with the room, though. We had a sliding door separating the bedroom areas, but unfortunately it was broken and wouldn’t close properly.

We also weren’t keen on the location of our particular room. Our balcony overlooked the water park, which was very loud during the day when it was open. There were also sun loungers directly outside the balcony, meaning there was very little privacy. On one evening, there was a wedding at the hotel with very loud music continuing until late, which made it difficult for our children to sleep.

Despite these issues, we had a fantastic holiday and all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The positives definitely outweighed the negatives, and we left with some lovely memories of our time here.

We have just had an unbelievable ten days away here, it really is a beautiful setting. Did not want to leave. We found the buffet food pretty good, there wasn’t a night when we couldn’t find something we all liked. The à la carte restaurants were very nice. It won’t be to everyone’s standards being a five star, however it wouldn’t put me off coming back again at all. Everywhere is clean all the time, you don’t see rubbish flying around or laying anywhere, if you’re a male be careful of the mind of their own automatic urinal flushers. They seem to spray you everytime you go for a tinkle. I found it quite funny after a while. The bar staff have all been awesome, Miguel at the thalassa bar was brilliant, he was so good with our teenagers, then you have nikos and Antonio at the Kochyli bar who were excellent entertainment every single night, those guys really do make you feel like you’re at home. The young guy who constantly checked if we wanted more drinks and kept bringing us shots of god knows what was brilliant, I never did catch his name unfortunately but I hope he reads this and knows I mean him. But all the staff in that particular bar were smashing. The entertainment team, where to start with these crazy bunch. Best start with Zulu. Legend of Stella Palace I would say, made us laugh every single day without fail. You must play darts and you must do the Zulu dance, as he likes to shout when you miss the board, Africaaaaaaaaaaa. Then we get to our absolute favourites of our holiday, who completely made it what it was. Leah and Bailey. We have no words for how amazing these two were all the time, we could not have met two nicer people who we can now call our friends. It was an absolute pleasure to spend our time away with such genuine, caring and funny people. Our kids adore you, You’re both stars, what the world holds for you both will be undoubtedly success in whatever you do because you’re just too bloody awesome, except at volleyball. Bailey you’re terrible at that. ❤️
