"Amazing experience, exceptional facilities and the sea is so beautiful that I cannot describe it. They offered me a room upgrade and it was really welcomed! Plenty of activities, music in the evening, good food. A holiday to remember for a long time and I cannot wait to come to Soma Bay again"

"Enjoyed a wonderful stay at this property- the hosts were quick to respond and very accommodating. Both check-in and check-out were extremely smooth and easy. The apartment was clean, comfortable and equipped with several convenient amenities. Finally, there were several little touches that went above and beyond including a lovely welcome fruit basket and information about the surrounding area. "

"Mon séjour dans cet hôtel a été une véritable déception. Dès mon arrivée, j’ai dû attendre 8 heures avant d’obtenir ma chambre, ce qui est inacceptable après un long voyage. Une fois dans la chambre, la mauvaise surprise a continué : l’eau était coupée, le lavabo n’était même pas correctement fixé et bougeait à chaque utilisation.
L’hôtel était en pleins travaux, rendant l’ambiance bruyante et désagréable, sans aucun espace de repos au calme. De plus, contrairement à ce qui était annoncé, aucun...

"Title: Appalling Experience – Unsafe, Unhygienic & Completely Misleading
My stay at Kaktus Somabay was a disaster from the moment I checked in on November 27, 2025. The first room was covered in thick dust, to the extent that my new iPad cover became damaged within minutes. When I reported it, management responded with denial and disrespect, insisting it “did not happen here.” Their attitude alone was unacceptable.
After being moved three times, every room had the same unhygienic dust problem....

"Alles super, haben den Urlaub hier verlängert und sind nicht ins dazugehörige Clubhotel.
Kommen sehr gerne wieder - alles wunderbar entspannend, auch wenn es einen desaströsen Zwischenfall für mich und meinen Mann am vorletzten Abend an der Rock Bar gab.
Das Management hat aber direkt reagiert, was wir sehr schätzen. Wir kommen wieder im Februar und empfehlen das Resort sehr gerne weiter."

"hotel stay was good. Premises are a bit old, and in my opinion would require an update. Little shops and pharmacy in proximity, so it was good for solving last minute issues. Multiple bars and buffet restaurant available, with daily grilled meat/fish."

"If you really want to enjoy your vacation, don’t ever visit this place & meet such people. They are bunch of liars, crooks & cheaters and they know nothing about customer service. If there was zero in the overall score, I would have given it to them."

Stella Gardens Resort & Spa - Makadi Bay - All inclusive
2/10 Terrible
"Very poor, discourteous and unhelpful.
We felt more like an inconvenience than guests.
The room was ok, staff not especially helpful or polite. Very keen to gain tips for the slightest bit of help. "
"I was excited to check out this new property but was not as pleased as I would have liked. The room was VERY dusty and our feet got very dirty just walking around. They also put us in a shady back corner swim up on my literal birthday… the dinner buffet was a zoo and had no ambiance, the lights were so bright it was impossible to stay in the room for long. I knew the beach was mainly reef but it all just felt a bit lacking. It has a lot of potential and could be a great spot with some more care for detail. Check in was clunky and our driver was the one to help with our bags etc. instead of the many staff up front. I hope they get it together quickly!"
"This is a very nice resort with three swimming pools, four restaurants, a large beach and beach front bars. As our suite had an individual pool, we did not spend much time around the large public pools. We did use the gym which had sufficient equipments for a workout. Buffet offered large selections. Room was comfortable. If we come back to the Red Sea, we will stay at this resort again. "
