Forbes Travel Guide’s Star Award ratings are objective, and executed incognito by inspectors who pose as everyday guests—checking into hotels, boarding cruises, trying spa treatments and dining at restaurants. While the quality and condition of the facilities remain vital, exceptional service accounts for 70% of a property’s rating, reflecting the human element at the heart of luxury.
RSG's The Red Sea destination received its inaugural Five-Star rating with Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, while the St. Regis Red Sea Resort received four stars and Six Senses Southern Dunes was listed as a recommendation.
