Dear tourists, before choosing a hotel, correctly define your goals and wishes for the hotel! If you want to be licked from head to toe, entertained in a hotel, fed around the clock and so on, then the Regency Hotel will definitely not suit you, just as any hotel of any star rating that is not on the first line will not suit you.

Dear tourists, before choosing a hotel, correctly define your goals and wishes for the hotel! If you want to be licked from head to toe, entertained in a hotel, fed around the clock and so on, then the Regency Hotel will definitely not suit you, just as any hotel of any star rating that is not on the first line will not suit you. However, five stars are also not suitable for everyone, since the number of stars in Egyptian hotels still does not really say anything. Regency hotel is designed for a tourist without any special claims. It is located in the heart of Sharm. Walking distance from the Old Town and the 1001 nights complex, the back of the hotel overlooks the main street of El Mercato, where there are many shops, McDonald's, Starbucks, KFC, Vodafon (cellular operator) and much more. Right behind the hotel is the most popular fish restaurant Fares. There are many banks in front of the hotel. Close to Metro supermarkets (do not confuse with Metro Cash & Carry).
At any time of the day, you can leave the hotel to be in the center of civilization, take a walk, look. You do not need to go anywhere, everything is at your fingertips and within walking distance. This is about a good location, now about the hotel itself. Regency hotel is small. Six two-story buildings form two cozy courtyards. Lots of greenery, flowers and more. Clean enough. Three pools. The territory is really cozy, it's nice to lie down in a sunbed by the pool with a book or talking with friends. The rooms are modest without frills, but quite decent. They clean, change linen and towels every day. Do not forget to give $1 to the cleaner for a tip, then he will bring flowers to your room and give you additional towels and sheets. Of course, there is no ideal cleanliness, it's just not the specifics of the hotel, but the specifics of the whole of Egypt, when there are a lot of dirty places. Even in five stars, in most cases, you can find fault with cleanliness. You can iron things right in front of the hotel.
It costs five rubles per item (1 pound). Stroked accordingly to you, not you yourself. The food is not particularly varied, but it is quite possible. Desserts are especially delicious. Yes, we did not plan to eat at the hotel all the time. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby where you can eat exactly what you want. Since there is simply no good coffee in Egypt, we took a small kettle and a pack of coffee with us, bought souvenir mugs and drank coffee without leaving the room. The hotel has two conditionally beaches of its own (they simply pay for visiting their guests). On one beach they carry a minibus. It is called Elhema. There at 9:30 am, back at 2:30 pm. But it takes 15 minutes to get there. It is located in a small sandy bay opposite the Old Town. The beach is just great. Bar, restaurant, toilet, shower, free internet (! ) and other benefits of civilization. This beach is great for swimming and sunbathing. There are no corals, marine reptiles and other things.
On this beach you can not use special shoes for swimming. But if you want to look at corals, fish and other marine life, then welcome to another beach. It is called Fonara (Lighthouse). It is located in the rocky part under the lighthouse. It takes 20 minutes to walk there. They don’t take you to this beach, but you can always take a taxi for $ 3. Bargain with taxi drivers! Yes, and bargain everywhere! You can always bring down the price by 2 or even 3 times. Here on this beach there are really underwater beauties! Coral reef full of marine life. They need special shoes for swimming. These are closed rubber slippers. The red price is 5$. I repeat that you should always bargain. Don't swim without slippers! Cut yourself on corals, step on a hedgehog, a stingray will beat with electricity... Buy a mask and a snorkel, or whatever we bring from Russia. But on this beach you can only watch the beauty of the underwater world. Sunbathing and having a good time there will not work.
The beach is very narrow and small, full of people. There are no toilets, changing rooms. We came to this beach only to look at the beauty, but we went to Elhema to sunbathe and relax. Before visiting the beach, do not forget to take free passes at the reception! The hotel itself pays for each tourist and you will reasonably demand these passes at the entrance.
Summarizing all of the above, I think that the Regency Hotel is suitable for those tourists who clearly understand that this is not five stars, but three. But for the difference between these stars, you can choose and buy the services that you yourself want. My sister traveled with me at the same time with her boyfriend, who bought a ticket to the Rixos 5 * hotel.
So, my wife and I visited the most expensive excursions, went to the best restaurants every day, bought a bunch of souvenirs, well, we didn’t deny ourselves anything, and in the end we couldn’t spend all the difference in the cost of 14 days for two in Regency and the cost 14 days for two at the Rixos Hotel!
I give the Regency Hotel the highest rating, because there is a clear correspondence between price and quality and even more! And especially I want to note the administration of the hotel. Unlike most Egyptians working at the hotel, all the staff here are very welcoming and friendly. I didn't have a single issue that I couldn't solve with them. You just need not to shout and demand, but just talk to them like people! Believe me, the Egyptians are not at all as bad as you might think at first glance. They are just different, different mentality, customs, customs. With them, if desired, you can always find a common language.
And the last.
Before going to the hotel, of course, I learned a lot through the Internet, but still I did not have a lot of necessary information and I had to learn a lot from my mistakes. Therefore, if after reading my review you decide that this hotel suits you, I am ready to answer some of your questions. Something to clarify. I leave my coordinates.

The hotel is located on the back side of Horus mall and Fares restaurant. There is a 24/7 market in Horus, an alcohol store in Mercato. To il Mercato on foot about two minutes, to the beaches of Hadaba 5 minutes by taxi. To Naama about 10 minutes by taxi. Parallel to Bank Street, 2 minutes walk. Also in Mercato there are three ATMs for cash and one for cards.

The hotel itself is small but cozy, the room is spacious, a small balcony, comfortable beds and clean linen. Hot water is always available, shower pressure is good. Cleaned up, towels changed upon request. Beach towels are new and clean, per week £.10 per towel. The refrigerator works well, there is a Russian channel on TV.
For breakfast, scrambled eggs, sweet pastries, cheese, olives, butter, jam, cucumbers, porridge, tea, coffee, juice, milk. You can bring fruits and products from the market to the hotel.
Check-in and check-out without problems, the staff is friendly.
A very big minus is the hotel guide Annex Tour, I recommend calling the carrier directly to check the transfer and departure time. Call from the reception phone 2 pounds per minute.
I have not been to the hotel beach.
For a "savage" holiday, this hotel is a good option, as it is very conveniently located.

If you love yourself even a little, do not take tours to this hotel! Although the hotel pritenzy not so much. But the disgusting beach wins all the pros. Shallow water, mud, no fish or corals! By location - it is the last one along the coast. If you still flew there, then it is better to go to the paid beach, which is not so far from the hotel.

There is a mosque next to the hotel. You will fall asleep and wake up under the screaming prayers of the motugalnik! No closed windows can save you from this.
