I cannot urge you enough to stay elsewhere. Go to the Sofitel down the street, or better yet, go to the Palace. This hotel is not up to standard. The staff is extremely young and does not know how to work or run an upscale hotel. It's a "shell" of a hotel. Pretty on the outside, but the service is repugnant.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay at the Regina, and especially loved our time in Biarritz. I wouldn’t consider this a 5 star hotel (especially after staying at the hotel du Palais down the street) but it was a nice boutique hotel with generally friendly staff. As far as areas for improvement- the pool was quite small and our room was very basic for a “premier” room. The hotel also did not acknowledge our recent engagement we were celebrating, which all the other hotels on our trip did with enthusiasm.

We went with an Ocean Deluxe room and many features of room are extremely impractical or badly designed. In fact many areas of the hotel just seem to be badly designed from eating in the atrium restaurant being uncomfortable, to the pool beds having the most manual lift and the cabanas completely blocking out sun for both users. The service was mostly fairly unwelcoming and doesn’t go above and beyond, this might be cultural but with it being a so called 5 star hotel it mostly should be better. Fairly apparent when we sat by the pool and 4.45 staff came over and told us “as a reminder the pool closes at 5pm for a private function.” This was not a reminder, it was the first we heard of it and we were there all afternoon, something like this on what was a good day in bad week for weather should have been over communicated. Finally, the prices within the hotel are a complete over priced and whilst this is same in all hotels the Regina seems to have gone even further especially given the food quality and options are poor. This is a 4 star hotel at best. Look forward to coming back to Biarritz but certainly not to this hotel

Horrible Customer Service

I booked a room overlooking the ocean and the room was nice. It would have been a nice experience if the customer service was not so terrible. It was to the point where I felt very uncomfortable. I am a widow and booked a trip with my two young daughters. I booked an upgraded room that stated it fit 3 people. When I checked in the people at the front desk wanted me to pay extra money for one of my daughters even though I showed them that the room stated it would accommodate 3 people (which I booked and paid extra for to accommodate our family of 3). They were very dismissive and rude. The next morning I asked if I could check out an half hour late and they would not give me any extra time despite it being a Tues and the hotel being obviously empty. Also the food was extremely overpriced for what it was. Not great or every that good. I had stayed across the street at a 4 star hotel for a couple nights prior and the stay and customer service there was incredible. Unfortunately the “customer service” at this hotel was so bad that I felt very uncomfortable staying there and regret the booking.
