If you are after a good value for money then great, if you are looking to stay in a 5* hotel then keep looking!
First impressions are very good, the reception area and grounds are beautiful and immaculate with lots of staff constantly cleaning. And thats where my good points end......
Our room had a lovely view of the beach but the bathroom was not of a 5* standard and I might as well have used sandpaper rather than the scrap of towels provided. Talking to others we were fortunate that our AC and safe worked all week.
The food was......well Russian/Polish and the same all week (the same thing was put out for lunch and tea). We avoided the ice cubes, salad etc and mainly ate omlettes and pasta but still had runny tummies everyday! Most of the other guests were Russian and are obviously not used to saying please or queuing. This was only made worse but the staff who would serve them first!
There are only two ways to get a bed by the pool, get up with the Germans at 7am and put 4 towels across 12 beds (no joke saw it happen) or find Salah (also known as Oddjob). He was amazing and every morning our beds would be ready with towels. We slipped him a couple of quid every few days and was well worth it.
I could go on for ever with bits and pieces....this was our honeymoon and we couldn't wait to get home.

we have just come back from sharm el sheikh,wat an experince!! we stayed in the REGENCY PLAZA hotel,the hotel was lovely an i would give it the 5 stars,BUT the food was terrible,it didnt cater for the english at all,it catered for the polish and the russians.it was the same food all day every day,there was nothing for the children.it made us all very ill,so please take stomach tablets b4 u go.the ice cubes were not from bottled water so please b careful! the waiter at the pool bar charged me an my daughter £10 for 2 cornettos,until my fella pulled him an he returned the money.they try 2 hav yor pants down all the time! an as or the shops,u really do hav 2 barter coz if u dont u will pay mega money. we also had mcdonalds mcflurrys out there an it made us all runnin to the loo constantly.anyway,as for the hotel,please b careful wat u eat!! the egyptians r really nice people,even tho they try an rip u off,the paperman at the hotel tries to rip u off 2,he just connstantly wants tips an isnt shy about askin for them! the waiters in the restaurant r not really allowed 2 chat to us,as the get told off.its a bit cruel really coz they only wanna b polite. naama bay was good,really cheap shopping.i wouldnt go to NABQ tho,its their shopping precinct an is really intimidating! can b quite scary at times! it really does open yor eyes in egypt. it is very hot there at the minute,itsa a funny kind of heat,its a burning heat an very dry.its 78 at nite with a slight warm wind at the minute.if anyone would like to contact me an ask any questions,please feel free to do so,an heres my email addy: maylou@hotmail.co.uk

I would have to advise anyone reading this to stay well away from The Regency Plaza. I have been to an all-inclusive in Egypt before, El Gouna. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. This week at The Regency Plaza actually cost £300 more and was nowhere in comparison of the standard of the resorts in Elgouna, Movenpick/ Sheraton.....
It depends really on what you expect. I travel all over the place for work and have stayed in just about every type of hotel there is. Practically everyone I have been happy with. However for the price of this hotel and knowing what other hotels offer for the same money I have to stay that this hotel is an utter disgrace in every way. Barely one up from Butlins!
The Sun and the beach were great, just what you expect, but they were there before the hotel. I was kitesurfing and my wife wasnt so from that perspective it was great as Colona is directly outside on the beach so we didnt have to spend the days apart. The kite school is great so maybe stay at another hotel nearby and kite/ sit on the beach from this spot.

well i can honestly say this hotel is very nice rooms gardens reception area beach , but the food is terrible my wife ended up in bed for 2 days with diahorrea and sickness i too got it a day later and i can tell you it isnt nice . id read reviews before going away and thought people where finicky but how wrong was i this hotel needs a good shakeup before it totally loses its way
