The Gold Standard of Hospitality – The Best Holiday We’ve Had in Years

Every now and then you experience a place that completely restores your faith in genuine hospitality. Stella Blue Seaside Resort is that place.

We’ve been fortunate enough to travel to many beautiful destinations over the years, but I can honestly say this has been the most enjoyable, relaxing, and memorable holiday we’ve had in years. The facilities are stunning, the food is exceptional, and the atmosphere is pure paradise—but what truly makes this resort extraordinary is its people.

There are hotels with beautiful rooms, and then there are hotels with beautiful souls. Stella Blue has both.

From the very beginning, Manos, the manager, made us feel like honoured guests rather than just another booking. His warmth, professionalism, and sincere care for every single person staying at the resort are something you rarely encounter. He doesn’t simply manage a hotel—he creates an experience. It’s clear that the incredible culture throughout the resort starts with his leadership.

A heartfelt thank you to Maria at Nomad. Every visit was filled with warmth, kindness, laughter, and impeccable service. She has an incredible ability to make every guest feel special, and her smile alone brightened our days.

To Michael at Bleu, thank you for consistently delivering service that deserves recognition. Friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely passionate about what he does, he helped turn every meal into a memorable occasion.

And to the entire Anima team—what can we say? Simply outstanding. Every member of staff went above and beyond without ever making it seem like an effort. Their kindness, positivity, and attention to detail made us feel genuinely cared for every single day. It’s impossible to name everyone individually because every interaction was exceptional.

What impressed us most wasn’t just the luxury of the resort—it was the heart behind it. Every smile was genuine. Every conversation felt personal. Every member of staff seemed to take real pride in making our holiday unforgettable.

Leaving was genuinely emotional. We weren’t just saying goodbye to a hotel—we were saying goodbye to people who had made us feel completely at home.

To Manos and every member of your incredible team, thank you for reminding us what world-class hospitality truly looks like. You haven’t just given us a holiday; you’ve given us memories we’ll treasure for years to come.

Without question, this is a place we’ll return to, and one we’ll recommend to everyone we know.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If Tripadvisor allowed ten stars, Stella Blue would deserve every single one.

We went as a group of ladies to celebrate a birthday and found this a perfect hotel. The grounds were pretty and the whole complex very clean. The food was fresh and very tasty particularly in the themed restaurants. The bedrooms were very comfortable. The whole staff were fantastic so welcoming happy and helpful. We did have a few requests and the team did their utmost to accommodate them. The relationship manager and admin/reception manager were personable and so helpful. We were welcomed by smiles every day from all the staff. The entertainment team were also very friendly and welcoming. We loved our stay at Stella Blue and recommend it without reservation. Thank you for making our holiday memorable

Me and my partner booked a swim up for 1 week and we loved the hotel. The hotel is probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing establishments that we have stayed.

We went for a swim up room and was not disappointed. The room was a perfect size for a couple with coffee, tea facilities and a mini bar that is replenished daily for this room type. The rooms and hotel in general is spotless and I would like to shoutout Monica from housekeeping, she couldn’t do enough for us!

Our only slight issue was the food / drink. The breakfast and lunch time options are great, I love the 3 options at lunch of the two ale cartes or Buffet, we particularly loved the pool ble bar. Dinner however was focused heavily on sea food, of which me and my Partner do not eat. We spoke to other non sea food eaters who also said they struggled.

The biggest issue for me though was the lack of accessibility to drinking water. One bottle was placed in the mini fridge everyday, however, the only way to get water all inclusive through the day was to ask for cups of water at the bar. Bottled water is not included, there is also no existing hydration stations / fountains throughout the hotel as far as I’m aware. The water provided at the bar was often served in plastic cups that looked like they had hardly been cleaned, often with black dirt swimming in them. I don’t think I got served a clean cup of water once. I had heard that you could go to reception and request bottles of water but when I did, I was told to use room service, so pay €8 to get a bottle of water?

The local alcohol brands are also overpowering and quite poor.
