The Regency Hotel Kuwait is frequently celebrated for its elegant and artistic atmosphere, offering travelers a serene environment underscored by its meticulous organization and cleanliness. Nestled in a prime spot with beach access and stunning views, guests revel in the luxurious amenities, including a selection of dining options and opulent bathtubs, though some guests suggest a greater food variety.
Service at the hotel generally receives high marks for attentiveness, although experiences can vary. The spacious and pristine rooms with comfortable bedding are a hit among many, yet some visitors note the value is dampened by additional costs for beverages.

Very family friendly, suitable for children of all ages, quiet, the rooms are very comfortable and of a very suitable size. The bathrooms are also spacious and very practical and luxurious at the same time. The only one that owns a women's swimming pool. I wish the children's swimming pool was in the women's section so we could check on the children. + Shade must be provided for the children's and public swimming pool. Dining in the room is limited and the price varies according to the size of the meal. The beds and pillows are very comfortable, and the disc patient felt very comfortable. The kids club is an excellent idea for younger children as well.

One of the most enjoyable and beautiful hotels I have visited in Kuwait in particular, and the Gulf in general, from the spacious reception, meeting requests, and the comfort of the place, as there is a café in the lobby overlooking the outdoor swimming pools and the sea. The restaurant on the ground floor has a variety of dishes, indoor and outdoor seating, enjoyment, tranquility in the rooms, luxury furniture, and cleanliness in general. On the other hand, an enjoyable stay

First of all , me and my friend went to the Regency Ladies pool today and it wasn’t our first time. As soon as we arrived the security lady checked our bags so that we can get in. However, she checked them in an inapropriate way. BTW the security lady was an African tall lady. Anyways, she took our snacks, me and my friend got frustrated from her way of checking because when she took our snacks, she stood in the middle of the door so that we can’t pass by. Anyways, we decided to speak to the person in charge who was (Farell) which I will talk about her positivily below. When we got in the pool/beach area honestly, the place felt like a big playground because of the majority of under age and kids all around! the right way is that, if they want to use the pool they can use the big pool outside which “all the kids” use. Because, as far as we remember the few times we came before, we’ve only seen adults!
Second of all, the bar that serves drinks and food does not have a variety of food . Food as popcorn, nuts, chips and chocolate is highly needed. And also, not to mention, one of the servers weren’t wearing any gloves! This is a hygene problem and it should be solved .
Third and last, regarding the security lady issue, HUGE thanks to (Farell) for her lovely manners, her positive treatment, her assistance and her exceptional effort for solving our problem with the security lady . She tried our best to make our stay beautiful and she nailed it! She even checked on us after a while if we were doing well, and if everything is ok with us :) if we ever wanna come back again it’ll because of (Farell). Also, thanks to Mr. Jassim for being understanding with us.
At last I’d like to say , please reduce the under age visitors, add more food and drinks variety to the bar menu and “hopefully” to be more flexible about entering snacks inside the pool/beach area. And not be complicated about it.
Thank you.

Excellent service, top Hygiene, very clean, friendly staff and amazing place.
We stayed 2 nights in a deluxe room with normal view (at the backside wall of the hotel with zero view), amazing room, well furnished with spacious bathroom, Nespresso machine with wide range of capsules (i believe all deluxe rooms has the coffee machine) and a mini bar (which contains lipton tea and nesscafe packets only). It was a luxury room with an excellent room service. They were nice and provided complementary cake for us.
Every single piece at Regency was cleaned well, the room, restaurants, pool and beach areas ... etc, we really liked it.
Reception staff was friendly and smiley.
Breakfast restaurant is a lovely place, omelet & spicy shakshuka was tasty but the rest was normal and it could be better,
We tried the new beach liwan sur la plage restaurant and the pool bar and both menus have limited selection in main course, the food was just normal and their risotto was not good at all (the iced coffee as well) and little pricey than normal. second day they informed us that it is not allowed to delivery food from outside but they were kind to allow what i already ordered.
No kids play area by the way.
In general, our staying was amazing and comfortable (except the food point) and definitely will return back again in summer.

I have stayed in other well-known five-star hotels with international chains in Kuwait, but the Regency is the best in terms of services, location, staff, treatment, location, atmosphere, and providing any guest’s needs. In every future visit to Kuwait, it will be my only choice, God willing. I really enjoyed my stay. Thank you very much for the great service

The bed sheets are truly exceptional, and the bathroom, particularly the bathtub, is absolutely incredible. I eagerly anticipate experiencing the downstairs rooms, particularly the larger ones, inshallah. When the time comes, I hope to visit with my wonderful husband. 😍 However, I must admit that the breakfast offerings have diminished in both size and quality. In the past, they were more substantial and impeccably prepared. Now, they seem to lack the same level of variety and attention to detail.
Despite this minor disappointment, the overall experience remains delightful. The comfort of the bed sheets, the luxury of the bathtub, and the anticipation of exploring the other rooms fill me with excitement. I envision a future visit, perhaps on a special occasion with my beloved, where we can fully immerse ourselves in the opulence and charm of the establishment.
Inshallah, these dreams will soon become a reality, and I will have the pleasure of sharing this enchanting experience with the one I love. Until then, I will cherish the memories of my current stay and eagerly anticipate the joys that lie ahead.

The rooms are very old, the furniture is old, and the air conditioning is not good. The hotel has a very great location, so please take advantage of the location by renovating the rooms. And change the furniture. Note that the hotel lobby is very beautiful, but it is deceptive as the rooms are completely different from the lobby.

My experience was in Pala De Padel, the staff is amazing especially Mr. Hussaini, he is one of the top!. I started coming to Pala De Padel 3 times a week that's because the courts are made professionally, and the staff as well are so kind. I only recommend that the prices drop as well in the day time, other than that, every thing is just perfect
