Regency Sealine Camp

Was quite an experience, loved the view, loved the warmth welcome, loved the food and everything. I really loved its vibe. I was there with my best friend with whom I was not gone out for like one whole year and both of us really liked it all. People there are super friendly ❤️

1. Expect a European 2-to-3-star Resort at best. 2. Don’t expect to feel being in the middle of the desert.. I work in Doha and I came to the Regency Sealine Camp for one night to treat a visiting friend from Europe. I booked our stay through the same travel agency I had used last December when another friend came to visit. I will never use them again (unexpected lack of professionalism from the first moment and then, this Regency Sealine Camp experience…). On arrival to the Camp we were given a key-plastic card in a very reused paper cover. We were taken to a Patio Room with Sea VIEW. I enquired and only because I enquired, I was told that the more expensive Patio Room Sea FRONT I had payed through the agency was not available. In fact, the only Sea FRONT “rooms” were the Suites, we were told… Once inside, the room had a very strong smell of chemical products -most probably used for cleaning. Windows were poorly cleaned giving a general feeling of abandonment. We were offered another room, closer to the sea, in a secluded corner, with almost no wifi, next to a running generator. Despite it all, we preferred this room. It came to be a good choice as it was also far from the loud music of the restaurant in the evening. In this second room, windows were also poorly cleaned and the floors had some sand. Toilets were clean, Grohe taps were in excellent condition, but furniture was most definitely not in good shape with rust and scratches. Water pressure was good but irregular. To my surprise and contrary to what I expected, in both rooms we were shown there was only one bed. The extra beds were offered for 100QAR each. Fortunately, and because of all the trouble, they did not charge us for the extra bed we needed. My friend went straight for a swim but the sea was full of algae. All over the Camp the floors and sand were covered with waste papers, plastic and cigarette butts (huge contrast to the clean Doha). After sunset (the whole Camp faces East…) the lights in the Camp are bright, so there is no chance to stargaze within the premises. Just outside the tall wooden fences of the premises there are cars coming and going quite fast in the dark (you can see their lights, but they cannot see you…) so walking away is risky. We were never told that you could enjoy a bonfire, so we did not ask for one. We did not see one either. I only read about it later, here in Tripadvisor. Food in the restaurant was simply very poor quality. Dinner: To give you an idea, Hummus could have been from a supermarket jar. Salads were tasteless, as difficult as that is. Breakfast: The only coffee you will see is coffee powder, same for the milk. I counted three types of teas to choose from. Flies are inevitable, but in Doha you get those horizontal windmills that keep them away from the food: no sign of those here (maybe on request, but I never got mine and I waited 15 minutes). Also, food containers don’t get immediately refilled, so depending when you get your

Was really excited to go here on my trip to Doha, I was extremely disappointed the tents were clean and tidy the bathrooms were absolutely awful dirty and not what was expected, the meals on the first night were set meals not the buffet option we expected but it was adequate, we spent the second day on the beautiful clean beach and crystal blue sea, unfortunately I lovely day was spoiled when over 100 students turned up to eat and party that wouldn’t have been an issue but music was to loud for my Grandchildren and when it came to dinner it was like a free for all one of my granddaughters got knocked to the ground in the rush to get food! This was the final straw and we checked out early, the poor staff were run ragged and the management just stood about giving orders, what should’ve been a lovely weekend was a shambles
