Everything about this place is 5 stars. The a la carte dining options are incredible with 5 restaurants to choose from, all offering very different cuisine. The cocktails are made fresh and are excellent quality. There is an outdoor gym for CrossFit style training and a well equipped indoor gym. The room was excellent - we had the premium swim up. Our deck was in the shade most of the day which may bother some people, but we were happy to use it as a break from the sun. And there are plenty of sun loungers available. The resort felt spacious and quiet despite being fully booked. Staff are very attentive and friendly. If we had to be constructive, one criticism would be the buffet - we enjoyed the breakfast. Lunch and dinner are ok, but the variety isn't huge and quality was hit or miss. However, there are several restaurant options for lunch as well where the food is guaranteed to be great. We will definitely be going back, it's an excellent resort for couples.

We stayed at Stella Island for 6 days and in that time, we had an absolutely Stella-r time!
I don’t even know where to start, the views are spectacular, the food is Michelin-star level, and the staff are professional and kind.
We stayed in Premium Suite with a balcony. Somehow this resort is only a 3-star on Expedia, which makes no sense to us. If there were such a thing as a 6-star resort I would rank Stella Island as such.
We’ve travelled far and wide and this is by far the nicest resort we have ever stayed at.
We’d like to call out 2 staff members in particular for their service:
George who worked at Makuti - probably the nicest person we’ve ever met. He was kind, courteous, and his level of service went above and beyond. He made our experience truly special both times we were there.
Kleidi who was serving us at the pool - Kleidi took the time to get to know us, and we exchanged a few stories about where we are from, and our love of football. He was super kind and friendly, and it was a joy to have him take care of us.
Overall, we can’t recommend Stella Island enough. We are already looking to plan our return all the way from Canada soon!

Amazing stay at Stella Island would definitely recommend to couples especially honeymooners :)
It’s as beautiful as the photos on website and socials. Stunning and the staff are the biggest asset. Food is amazing at all restaurants including the buffets.
If I’m being really picky I think the cocktails can be better but if you tell the bartender what you want and how you want it they accokidate.

Wow! I only stayed one night because I’d read bad reviews saying it was noisy and full of annoying influencers.
I think you pay more and get more. I was in a bungalow and it was pure bliss. Marina, my concierge, really helped me to maximise my stay and was amazing.
I loved not having to fight people for sun loungers at 7am with towels.
I loved how private the bungalow was.
The only downside for me was I think if I stayed longer I’d come back fat, the food was amazing and all inclusive just makes you want to try things and eat lots. I’m not really a drinker, maybe one, so this was a bit of a waste for me. Gym was pretty decent but closed at 7 which is really early.
Overall it was brilliant, super expensive but worth it for something special. I’ll stay longer next time I go, I think 5 nights is ideal

We booked Stella Island for four nights our honeymoon thinking it was going to be the best luxury holiday of our life. Unfortunately it fell short of our expectations.
The Negative: Service was extremely slow, majority of food was luke warm, the staff did not understand much English, which we are so fine with, we're in Greece after all - however, the communication was very bad, this made for a tough time getting what we asked for - our servers/bartenders forgot our drink order on several different occasions, or gave us the wrong thing... we would often be served a different dish to what we asked for or a dish without half of the ingredients listed on the menu. Whenever we had a question, even the most simple and standard, it was a big ordeal and barrier to get through. Housekeeping would forget to top up our body wash, and coffee, etc - basically housekeeping stuff. When we called reception to politely ask for a top up of these things, they said a housekeeper/room service wold be right over to replenish.... but they never came. We were quite shocked at how the basics were overlooked here.
The positive: The Facilities itself were stunning - we were so happy with the surroundings - the room, the pools, the trees... everything was very aesthetic to look at! The staff were very friendly, we just found it strange that the above things were too much ask....

Everything is exactly as you expect! All of the staff we have interacted with have been the most caring and attentive people I have ever met, especially at the Makuti bar day in day out they even recommended us some films to watch. The pictures of the place you see are exactly what you get. If you are like us and do not often experience people waiting on you hand and foot it’s a surreal experience but something that makes the trip
So amazing. The dining experience - just WOW! Food I have never tasted to be so amazing! Always have the lamb medium rare you won’t regret it. Welcome drinks on arrival and they let you enjoy everything how you want to not how they expect you too. I can’t thank everyone enough for my stay it’s been something I’ll never forget and nothing will live up to this. If you have the chance to come - you won’t regret it!!

This property was absolutely stunning!! Definitely enjoyed staying here. The rooms were gorgeous, pool was amazing, extremely friendly staff, and they had a nice spa! Overall 5 out of 5. Only thing that was a little disappointing was the beach for the guests. Certainly wasn’t what we expected. Very rocky, and not a great place to enjoy the ocean as there’s walls/barriers right in front of where the Stella Island guests sit. However, not a big deal. We just went to a nearby beach about 20 minutes away via taxi, and it was awesome. This place is gorgeous and we’d highly recommend it.
