We found the hotel offered good basic accommodation at a good price.
Most of the staff very friendly, especially the reception staff, who where all very patient with our 7 year old grandson's attempt at trying to speak Spanish! One or two of the bar staff could do with a few lessons in manners, though.
Plenty of food choice in the restaurant and found all the staff in their to be very pleasant.
We only stayed in the hotel at night twice,once because our grandson wanted to see the parrot show, I think the price they charge for photo's with the parrot on your shoulder is a bit steep at 10 euro's each. The resident compare, Stephen, is really naff. Tries to sing...he can't, cracks jokes...nobody laughs, the guy is really poor. Another act is a singer/comedian/impressionist....too bad for words.
This was our second visit to the Regente, and overall found it a good value for for money hotel in a decent location.

The hotel was clean and basic but did the trick. The cleaning staff and reception were pleasant and helpful.
The food was ok, lunch menu was better than morning and evening selection.
I thought the bar staff were very unhelpful and quite ignorant but still expected to be tipped??
Evening entertainment was tacky, I suppose it was because the hotel was mostly full of pensioners.
I was also shocked at their weekly appearance by their so called comedian. Jim Davidson eat your heart out, more right wing than Kilroy.....

Hotel was very clean and staff friendly location away from all the noisey bars so going to sleep was no problem...
Plenty of beers saw to that for us. Could not really quote on entertainment as we never stayed for any.
The breakfast was good something for everyone but evening meal was very disapointing we are willing to try anything but it was always the same food with little variation, example yorkshire puddings with beef twice then 1 night with pork, shepherds pie twice etc etc.

Hotel is very clean. Cleaning staff work very hard all day. Was pleased that we recieved clean towels on a daily basis. On the day that we departed we used the courtesy shower room and we were told that the hotel dosent provide towels so we had to dry on the dirty towels that we had used around the swimming pool for the last two weeks!
Not that impressed by the food, found a lot of the dishes were repeated every other day and there was nothing much to tempt the children, would be better if they had a sepertate counter for children.
The location of this hotel was good as it was away from all the hustle and bustle, but within walking distance of the beach, bars and restaurants.
The staff were great especially the men that worked on reception, very helpful and pleasant.
The entertainment was fantastic courtesy of Victor who is fabulous at his job.
The only major thing that really bothered us was being able to hear everything that our neighbours were up to, the walls are very thin!
We would visit this hotel again.

We found the Regente to be a lovely hotel. Our rooms were cleaned on a daily basis and beds changed in the week we stayed there.
Breakfast was ok of you liked a cook breakfast every morning. The evening meal had some great varieties of things to eat, from roast beef and yorkshire puds to salmon, chilli, curries and the desserts were to die for. My 6 year old always found something to eat.
The hotel is about a 10 minute walk to the beach. The hotel staff were all friendly and the guys on reception couldnt do enough to help.
Thomsons have their own kids club at the hotel which was great,it is on 5 days and 3 evenings giving you 2 hours to do what you want. Victor who runs the hotel animation was fab and he had all the kids joining in, as well as adults.
I enjoyed the hotel entertainment, apart from the fact that they had an adult entertainer in what is a very family orientated hotel.
The only problem I found was that if you sleep in after 8am the chances of getting a sun bed in the height of the season have to be nil, people are claiming chairs at the sign of first light.
I would go back to this hotel again.

We've been to Benidorm 3 times and cant beat the Monaco
we were very disappointed and disgusted with the meals in the regente we ate out for the full fortnight.
We would return to Regente on a room only basis as the hotel was spotless shame to be let down by the meals and entertainment.

We found the bar staff were not very helpful and rarely smiled. Reception staff were good and helpful. The maid was great though and changed our towels regularly and when we kept a late room on day of departure she gave us extra towels.
The entertainment was not very good. A couple of average singers and usual bingo.
Sunbeds crammed in around the pool and you had to be up early to get your towel on one.
Food was below average and same stuff. The bar closed at 1.30 on the dot, even if you were half way through your drink!
Overall not a happy holiday and we won't be back to this hotel. Location was good, as 10 minutes to beach and the promenade.

We had a great time in this hotel the rooms are very clean we had clean towels everyday beds changed once we were ther for two weeks rooms basic but not too small balcony had a clothes rack to dry clothes come in very useful.Rooms air con.
The pool was great even my hubby and mum who are not very confident enjoyed it always got loungers and there were a lot of us.There is a decking area I only used once a bit hot for me but very peaceful.
Bar prices not bad for a hotel Victor resident dj entertainer was ace we will miss him very much say hi from us if you go.
We had a great time food I could have picked 3 meals a night I liked so much choice and good quality. Would definitely go back.

We all loved staying at the Regente. The hotel was lovely and clean and none of us got the 'bug'.
Rooms were on the small side as we had bunk beds in there for the kids, but, then again we only used the room to sleep and shower.
Entertainment with Victor during the day was great, there is something going on round the pool every day and the kids loved it and made loads of friends.
At night we generally went out, but, lots of people did stay in hotel.
We all thought the food was excellent and never wanted to eat out as it was so good.
All in all, we would definitely stay at the Regente when we return to Benidorm.

As stated by previous reviews be aware the "Bug" is still around both husband and I were ill. So ill infact, that husband lost a stone in weight. We think this is attributed to the food as we ate elsewhere and were not ill. Many old and young people were ill too with upset stomachs and coughs. Entertainment poor.
Staff nice but as there was a problem with this "Bug" in September and it is still continuing perhaps this hotel should be closed for a short while. If anyone else knows what this airborne bug is perhaps you can let other reviewers know as my husband is a diabetic and the hospital are quite concerned.
