St Katherine Protectorate

Clean, good food, staff are amazing my only draw back was lack of Egyptian music within the entertainment.

I have visited Sharm many times, but this hotel continues to stand out as the best. It is peaceful, elegant and designed for genuine relaxation. The grounds are lush and welcoming, and the sunrise over the Red Sea is truly spectacular. The beach is clean and calm with excellent snorkelling, and there are always plenty of sunbeds available, even later in the morning. The pool area is spotless, well organised and ideal for cooling off or enjoying a quiet afternoon. My room was comfortable and very well maintained, with granite bathroom finishes that added a touch of quality not often found in standard hotel rooms. The food throughout the stay was consistently excellent. The buffet offered a wide range of fresh dishes, including breads, soups, appetisers, a carvery, pasta, salads, themed evenings and an outdoor barbecue every night. Breakfast was another highlight, with fresh-squeezed juices and good coffee, all carefully prepared and far better than the usual bland all-inclusive choices. What truly sets Stella di Mare apart is the staff. Everyone is friendly, smiling and eager to help, creating a warm, relaxed atmosphere from the moment you arrive. I would particularly like to mention Mr Salah at reception for his welcoming professionalism and for the many things he did to make my stay so pleasant. I will definitely be back.

We stayed for 10 days and had the same food over and over. No pool side drinks were served other than the ones you paid extra for like fresh squeezed orange juice. They walked around trying to sell excursions, romantic dinner or Massages which was annoying. They tripled the price for medicine in their pharmacy and bazar compared to the pharmacies in the city. Charged us 30 euros one way from the airport for shuttle to the resort. We got a taxi and he charged us 14 euros to take us back to the airport. It was just a money hungry place. WiFi didn’t work half the time. When one of the waiters didn’t clean the table quick enough his boss was shouting at him across the dining hall where people were eating. Not very professional.
