    Excellent service from the moment you arrive until you leave. Very well maintained property and clean rooms. Great location that is walkable to all the local attractions. Restaurant (Orla) on-site was also excellent.

    The entire resort! Highlights were the room, the staff, the location, the room service, the coffee, the “lounge” (allows you to have a shower and change for a long haul flight even though you’ve checked out). Shower took a long time to heat up (>5 min).

    I stayed 10 times at the time the hotel was under Loews brand, and it was already a great hotel… But Regent is even better: rooms are very Very large, with very nice furnishings, a very large bathroom, a 75-inch tv screen etc… Everything is top luxury! The service is very warm, personal and friendly from the front desk and concierge to the bellman, pool staff or housekeeping staff. I had dinner at Orla (octopus as a starter, and lobster with spices for the main course) and this was a very good experience, though pricey. This hotel is top notch and I will definitely come back here next summer!

    We booked a two bed suite with patio and firepit - and so glad we did as the room was gorgeous and huge with two terraces. And although it’s just above street level we had a great view of the beach and the pier which we loved. The service was impeccable (when they serviced our room they tidied our charging cables with little leather cable ties and put bookmarks in our books). The pool area was nice with loads of beds, although the pool itself is small! Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    The hotel is brand new and so beautifully appointed. The staff were abundant and helpful. The location is great and has private beach access. The pool was warm and views gorgeous. The room was spacious and very comfortable, with everything you could need. There is a cinema room with hot chocolate and treats for families - unfortunately we were not told about this at check in but discovered for ourselves on our last night. Nothing.

    Location is outstanding , its literally on the beautiful beach . The room we had was on the building corner at the ocean front so fantastic views of the beach , the pier and the ocean , so great ! The shutters in the room did not close 100% so light came through early morning . The restaurant was average , a bit of an odd menu with too many complicated dishes and also right in the hotel lobby , no privacy !
