"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...

"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....

"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. "

"Shockingly poor resort for a global brand like Movenpick. Customer service is generally appalling (few exceptions), very few staff speak even a basic level of English, quality of food is average at best, rooms are incredibly dated, all inclusive drinks are of very low quality"

"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...

"We had a wonderful holiday and truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Everything was very clean, and the rooms were cleaned thoroughly every day. Housekeeping did a great job.
The food in the main restaurant was always delicious, in fact, after one week we all gained some weight! 😊 We also visited the Oriental and Indian à la carte restaurants. Both were tasty and offered an interesting experience with different flavors and атмосpheres.
The staff were very kind, friendly, and helpful. I would especially like to highlight Meryam at the reception — she was professional, welcoming, and always ready to assist us.
The only downside during our stay was the very loud music by the pool on Friday when they organized an event with huge inflatable mattresses. The music was extremely loud and lasted for about four hours. Unfortunately, our child could not fall asleep in the room because of the noise.
Overall, however, the hotel is very quiet and pleasant, at least in February. We were also lucky with the weather. There were only two days with a cold wind, and the rest of the time we enjoyed beautiful sunshine.
The hotel territory is well-maintained and beautiful, with many nice spots for photos. There is also a souvenir shop, as well as a spa offering massages, saunas, and a jacuzzi.
We would happily recommend this hotel and would consider coming back again."
"Amazing stay. Rooms were spotless with great housekeeping. Staff were fantastic, super attentive and friendly. Easy to get sunbeds by pool and beach. Great selection in buffet for both breakfast and dinner. Lovely beach with music and cocktails on beanbags at sunset which was really nice. Could not fault the hotel at all. "
"Far From a Four-Star Experience
Let me be clear: this is not a four-star hotel. Our stay was a cascade of problems that management consistently failed to properly resolve.
It began with significant cleanliness issues in our first room. Despite assurances, the problem was never fixed, leading to a room change. This "upgraded" room, however, introduced a host of new plumbing disasters. The sink faucet's pressure was so intense it soaked our clothes and the counter, while the shower head was aimed at the back wall, flooding the floor due to a poorly-sealed glass partition.
After I took time out of my vacation to meet with the manager and explain the situation, I was promised everything would be fixed. We returned later to the smell of fresh caulk and a re-angled (but still not adjustable) shower head. The original leak was gone, but a new one had appeared. The shower's improper drainage pitch sent a stream of water along the glass ledge and right back onto the floor. Our only solution was to build a dam with our clean towels every time we showered.
The sink was never fixed by the hotel. I finally had to play DIY plumber, swapping the faucet tap with one from the shower to get a usable water flow. It's unbelievable that I had to fix it myself. We tried to make the best of our trip, but the constant frustration and unresolved issues made it clear: this is NOT a four-star hotel.
Needed this vacation to decompress. NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE!!!!!"
"Mohammed and the rest of his team were amazing, a peaceful oasis from the chaos of it all, they ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible and will go out of their way to accommodate you. Food is also amazing and local. "
"Nice comfortable rooms. The staff was so kind and helpful. Restaurant is very good. The location is excellent if you’re into snorkeling or diving. Best massage. It is not part of a big chain and you feel the warmth and attention the owner (who is a lovely man) brings to it. He realized a beautiful dream. Thank you for sharing your dream with us Stephan! "
