The hotel has both pros and cons. We understood that we were going to a budget hotel, we did not expect a lot from the hotel. Especially after previous Albatrosses. But everything turned out to be very good.

Settlement. There were about seven in the hotel. We settled at about 11 in the Regal building, the fourth floor overlooking the sea, in the direction of the Le Pacha hotel. We settled in the first time without additional payments, I don’t know what affected: sweets at the reception, a cover letter from TopHotels, a request on the hotel website, + a smile. The room is good, everything worked, there was a kettle, coffee, tea, safe. They cleaned the room normally, twisted the figures, left 1 dollar. A day later, the card from the door did not work, but there were three of us and three cards, they changed them in turn.


Territory and location. This is a big plus for the hotel. The territory is not small and beautiful. Everything is green, beautiful, flowers around. They constantly plant something, cut it, etc. While there were 13 days, they managed to dig up flowers in many (normal, beautiful) and plant new ones.
Hotel in the city center, on Sheraton street. Shops around, Sherry pedestrian street, fish market nearby, Marina embankment. On the territory there is a swimming pool with cold water, a small water park. Wifi is weak.

Sea: Lagoon, on the right and left there are islands of corals (not Sharm, of course, but still normal for a city hotel in Hurghada). Entry into the sea is normal and rocky. There is a bar on the beach. The first half of the holiday had problems with free sunbeds. Tourists either occupied towels from the evening or from the night (by the way, they are not issued on the beach, but they are already in the room upon check-in, it is not convenient to change them to a cleaner later), but they themselves could come to dinner or even later. But, apparently due to a large number of complaints about this, the hotel posted announcements that towels from sunbeds occupied until 8 o'clock would be removed (it was). After that, it was possible to find a free sunbed in the morning.
This is a plus for the hotel.

But, the hotel administration, I ask you to pay attention to some of the shortcomings that I described in the review, and take measures to eliminate them. Regina can and will be better.


Animation. When we arrived, for the first 5 days there was an animation team (Otto, Katya, Oksana, Nuna, etc. ), which had very positive previous reviews. I don’t know if they relaxed or the tourists have nothing to compare with. There was no water aerobics, there was yoga in the morning, club dance 1 song in the morning and that’s it, volleyball, since there was a foam party on the beach for maybe 30 minutes. After dinner there was nothing, nothing at all, the animators were just there, but what was their job, unknown. (1 time was a zumba though). I did not observe particularly active communication with tourists. In the evening, the show, which did not last long, and then everything, there is nothing to do in the hotel. I tried to find out from the discos in the city, but they were not very eager to go there.

After 5 days, the animation team at the hotel completely changed. And then everything went WOW!
And water aerobics, zumba, stretching, yoga, salsa, bachata, dancing, party with colors, foam party on the beach is not 30 minutes, as before, but more than 1.5 hours, some competitions, volleyball. And the painted children walked, in the evening there were a lot of them in the mini-disco, they paid a lot of attention to tourists. In general, the picture has changed dramatically. The hotel should be grateful to you. This is the case when animation brightens up all the shortcomings of a budget hotel. I hope that this review is read by the head of your company "Happiness Life Of Animation" (judging by the T-shirts of the guys), and will appreciate your work, the review is not custom-made, believe me, I have something to compare with). Evening shows have become much more interesting and longer. We went to discos with the guys. Thank you guys: Moody, Marina, Smile, Janine, Coca, Body, David and Chief Adam, you are super. (Sorry if I forgot about anyone). It was very interesting and fun with you, the rest will be remembered for a long time.
