Arena Regia Hotel & Spa - Marina Regia Residence

Loved the hotel placement, loved the food , loved the spa area ! Definitely a great experience! I would only remove the plastic glasses used in the Romeo&Juliette restaurant. Also, the mattress a bit to hard for my « taste »…

Nice style of building. Rooms can have some brighter lights.

This is not a 5 star hotel. Expidea advertised AC in the rooms. They tuned it off because the season is over. When the sun beats on the window its 85 degrees. Now way to cool the room. Advertise they no AC in the off season. Would not have stayed. The beach bar is closed. So is the restaurant. We ate at Romeo and Juliet the first night. No one was there. Empty and the server looked irritated we walked in. After ordering and being served a salad, he left. Went home. Told the bar tender his wife was downstairs and walked out. Unprofessional! We never went back again. The breakfast staff was just as bad. They were speaking about how bad it was a guest took 3 egss. Who cares?! My wife is Romanian and listen to your very rude staff. There was only one gentleman who was very polite and greeted us on the last day. I didnt get his name but he should be comended. The beach staff is just as bad. First off they weren't out on the beach at 11am. Lots of people waiting for the doors to be unlocked to get cushions. And expecting a tip. Some guests paid, others didn't. And expect to walk to the gate to get down to the water. The shuttle is seasonal as well!!! They wont let you drive and park by the closed restaurant. Even when the front desk clerk said it was ok. Such a waste of time and money!!

The rooms smell awful. The staff (especially the older restaurant staff) is rude and waits for tips without earning it. The receptionists were nice though! This five star hotel does NOT provide laundry services. They said it’s because they are really busy but the hotel was empty so that doesn’t add up. The housekeepers were always visible. Wanting to enter the room while I was there. I’m sorry but at a five star hotel housekeeping should happen when I’m out of the room. I shouldn’t even know the face of the housekeepers. That’s how tips are earned! Just not a five star experience. Also the long chair mattresses at the beach were incredibly dirty. The resort overall also is really bizarre and seems like is perpetually under construction. With no zoning, no urban planning.

Very nice location and hotel design. Friendly staff. Overall great experience.
