Rarely do you get a chance to stay in at a beachfront property that is truly beach front. At the Regent Beach Resort in Dubai, the hotel is located right in front of the Jumeirah Open Beach. In fact, it’s just five meters away from the shoreline. It’s not only a hotel; it’s also a beach resort, with luxury villas and a usual lineup of suites and rooms. It’s a nice place to stay in for holiday, whether you’ll be staying short or long periods in Dubai.

Guest Accommodations

Eighty rooms with Mediterranean style await guests staying at The Regent Beach Resort. From the guest rooms to the suites, all the way up to modern villas, the hotel overlooks the Arabian Gulf like no other, and you can expect cool breezes from the palms in the gardens. The hotel rooms themselves are fully air conditioned, and all are decked out in modern Mediterranean-style furniture. There’s also a private bath and shower per room, as could be expected of any hotel. The in-room safety deposit box also makes sure your valuables are kept safe while you’re out.

A mini bar welcomes occupants upon their arrival. Satellite TVs and telephones come standard with each room. Sadly, there is no internet access available from inside the rooms, though it probably wouldn’t be too much of a bother when you’re out on vacation and want to leave office work behind. A DVD player is also on hand in each unit, so you can keep yourself entertained even while you’re not on the beach or doing any of the activities available at the hotel.

Of the eighty rooms at the Regent Beach Resort, forty-six of those are standard rooms, which is the base package available at the resort. Twenty-four are deluxe rooms with larger floor areas and some other extras, and the executive suites are the largest among the rooms with even more floor areas and a sitting room added to the space. All room occupants have meal options at the hotel, meaning if they’re willing to pay extra, you can have a meal packaged along with your stay, negating the need to go and find a restaurant on your own, or paying regular prices at the hotel establishments.
