TL;DR

Shared shuttles can take longer when they stop at multiple hotels, so private transfer or a taxi is the safer option for late arrivals. One example mentioned a 55-minute journey to Soma Bay with one stop in Makadi.

What the community said

Before boarding a shared shuttle, ask the representative how many hotel stops are planned. A route with many drop-offs can take several hours and may make you miss dinner on arrival day.

Shared shuttle: number of hotel stops

For a solo traveler, particularly after a late arrival, a private transfer or taxi can be more practical than a shared shuttle because there are no additional hotel drop-offs.

Private transfer or taxi

As a travel-time reference, a group of four reached Soma Bay in about 55 minutes with one stop in Makadi. If the shuttle has more hotel stops, consider taking a taxi instead.
