Stella Di Mare Sea Club Hotel

We stayed just one night. It was ok; nothing great. A nice getaway from Cairo. The dinner and breakfast buffets were pretty good compared to others in Egypt. It was a holiday weekend so it was very busy, but the staff were competent and able to handle the large crowds. We were even able to check-in a couple hours early (which we had called them about, but they had not guaranteed). The beach was about a 10-minute walk from our room, which was fine, but for those with small children or with mobility issues there was a kiddie train that shuttled people between the beach and the lobby. No photos since we were staying just one night.

The food is fantastic (mainly your seafood meals), wide varieties ... Egyptian, international & Asian meals were really tasty ... 😋👍😍 The friendly staff is a main plus point. Safety makes the place ideal for kids accompanied by their families. Regards

Positives: The room was as good at the photos, absolutely beautiful. We had a standard room. The grounds are kept up very well. The pool was lovely and warm. The beach was excellent! This included the service, the beach-bar, the bathrooms, the beach chairs and little train that comes every 10min to go in between the hotel and beach. There is an excellent grassy and large, gated playground if you have small children. It's on the property near the beach. The man who attended our room, Karam, was so wonderful and made our stay even better. He was just so polite and took good care of us. Negatives: Really, the food at the buffet was pretty sad. Cold and dry "french toast", cakes that all taste the same (no taste), foul (beans) with no flavor, eggs boiled until brownish, and just a general lack of food cost put into the selection. I get the feeling they are economizing. Fruit selection was apples cut into chucks with about 1 grape for every 3 cups of apples. My friend compared the Sea Club buffet to North Korea. We did 1 dinner and 1 breakfast, although we had paid for all 3 days. Luckily the Italian restaurant at Stella Grand across the way was amazing. The Asian food restaurant was also alright. We paid to eat there. We paid for breakfast at the Grand after that. Their buffet was a little better, they had coffee, fruit and cereal, and the food was prepared and kept warm better. If food is your thing, I can't recommend Stella in Sokhna.

It was pleasant and the kids club was good.
