Regent Beach Resort

The hotel rooms themselves were okay, nothing special but most basic needs were met. The breakfast was not so great, poor quality foods and not fresh. The staff was not very polite either, anything I asked of them it was like they were doing me a huge favor, I wanted to remind them that the customer is king.... or Sheik in this case. The hotel restaurant was good, fair prices and reasonable portions. The hotel swimming pool was small and not really appealing, I did not see any one swimming in it the entire time I was there. The beach is a public beach but It was patrolled by security so it was safe to leave your belongings while swimming. I belive that other hotels located in the city bus there guests to this beach because a few busses arrived to drop off and pick up large groups of people. Over all this hotel is not so expensive compared to other Dubai hotels so I guess it was okay.

small hotel, quiet... great location, clean, nice staff, yeah.

I agree with latest reviews. We too chose this hotel because of location. My wife had never been to Dubai before and when she saw other hotels (Diera or Bur Dubai areas) she was very pleased by the Regent Beach Resort. Breakfasts were perfect to set you up for the day, beach perfect location, rooms wre clean and tidy and room 106 opened onto the pool area. It isnt 3rd world and may not be 5 star but this hotel is in a perfect location and for the price (compared to some in Dubai, which incidently are surrounded by building works!) this hotel is ideal. The staff were extremely helpful at all times and ca summon a taxi from no-where, a special mention to Mohan, pick up and drop off from the airport was great too. E Mail the hotel with your details and they will be there waiting for you. For all those who have moaned about this hotel, I suggest they pay more and try further up the beach! All in all this hotel was great for our needs.

Now it really depends what you are going to Dubai for - if the hotel is a place to sleep while you get out and about this place is great for 3 reasons - LOCATION, basically its right on the beach - so have breakfast get your shorts on and walk and chill on a seriously nice bit of beach. And its about 10 mins to the city about 15 Dhirams (thats about £2.50). BREAKFAST, was great every day ask the chef for your choice of omelette every morning seriously tasty sets you up for the day. STAFF, very friendly always smiling and really really helpful. They also picked us up from the airport and dropped us off too at the end - but you have to ask them to do this by calling them/faxing your names, arrival time and flight - worth it as its 60 Dhirams from the airport to the hotel (30 of which is some charge to taxi's for being at he airport which they pass on to you!) If you are going to Dubai and want to spend your days at your hotel/pool etc and therefore want 5 star luxury book yourself in elsewhere because this hotel is not for that type of stay/holiday.

I spent loads of time wondering which hotel to book in dubai. Chief decision - a beach location or a downtown city hotel. We chose a compromise here at the regent. The great thing is it is close to the beach and the city is just a 15min taxi ride away. Downside is the beach is not great - there is noise from building works - but if you ignore that - then its fine.The closeness to the city allowed easy meals out down town alongside the creek - cant beat that. The staff were indeed v vv helpful esp the concierge guy. Rooms are OK, v clean and modern + wide bed. I disagree with some of the other reviews calling this 3rd world... come on, be fair everyone. and the price IS ok compared to the ridiculous amounts charged elsewhere. If you want a good value place to stay that combines reasonable comfort, beach and close to the city - then you will be happy. We were. stuart+kristine

I've rated the stay as terrible because although there were no specific problems - the hotel seemed extremely overpriced for what it offered, about US$700 for three nights in the executive suite. Remember this is not part of a western hotel group, it is part of an Indian group and the fixtures (plasticky) and furnishings (old and worn out) reflect that. Although the prices of the executive suite in which we stayed were comparable to very good international chains. Also lhe location is excellent, but the beach is full of cigarette stubs.

Thanks to Sarfraz at Vacations to Go, I recently stayed at the Regent Beach Resort for a week in a sea view room. Let me first comment on the employees there. They are OUTSTANDING. They are always very polite and handled my every need. As a female who was traveling alone it was great to know I always had someplace to turn to if I needed information or some other kind of help. While the rooms could use a bit of updating, it was clean and comfortable. The housekeeping staff kept the room clean and the view was quite nice. I would awaken each day to sight of the sea (and construction). One note..because this hotel is across from Jumeriah open beach, beware that you will have slight noise both from people on the beach and the construction. However, this did not pose a problem for me and I happen to be quite sensitive to noise that disturbs my rest. The breakfast buffet is extensive and the food good. They even have a made to order omelet bar. I would definitely suggest using Sarfraz and the Regent Beach Resort. My stay was so pleasant I plan to return in March.

Just got back from 4 night stay - this hotel is in a fantastic location across a very small road to the public beach. The hotel is clean with two restaurants on site. We had B&B and no complaints with breakfast. Travelled into the city each evening and the only drawback of being on the beach was the horrendous traffic but even with that inconvenience we were so glad to have booked this hotel on the beach rather than in the city. The only other thing i didnt read about this hotel before is that there is no alcohol served there. Not that big a deal if you know beforehand but we didnt realise and there is nowhere even nearby to get a drink - but there is a fridge in the room to put your own drink. Not a top class hotel but staff friendly and helpful, cabs easy to get and a various malls within walking distance if you fancy a walk - thorougly enjoyable stay

Just returned from 6 nights stay at the Regent Beach Resort. We arrived 4 hours before the official 1400hrs check-in time but that wasn't a problem, we were shown to our room within 15 minutes of checking-in. All staff very polite, helpful and efficient. The rooms spacious, clean and with effective air conditioning. Very helpful housekeeping staff who can't do enough to help you - thank you Raj. Great location, essentially right on the wonderful beach and not far from the Wild Wadi Water Park and Burj Al Arab, 15 minutes in taxi to city centre. Big supermarket and 2 smaller shopping malls just 10 minutes walk from hotel. The pool area is a bit tight for space and would benefit from a little updating but serves the purpose well enough - free daily supply of nice beachtowels for use either at the pool area or beach. Like all hotel minibars please avoid using as very expensive!! We hope to return to Dubai early next year and will definately try and rebook for the Regent Beach again. Great little hotel in an even greater location.

Excellent hotel, service was good. Although the hotel was a 3*, it was better than that. Our room was big,comfortable and our beds was kingsize. The staff were friendly and helpful. The beach was two minutes walk from the hotel and it was about 15 minutes in a cab to the famous Burj Al Arab on Jumeriah Beach. We would definitely go there again.
