Ghazala Gardens vs Regency Plaza Aqua Park in Sharm El Sheikh — which hotel is better for a family with a teenager?

The argument continued the next day: the same Regency Plaza supporter again spoke harshly about Ghazala and urged others to ignore its defenders, claiming the hotel is praised mainly by one devoted regular. Neither side gave concrete facts about rooms, beach or food, so check recent reviews yourself before booking.

A mother choosing a hotel for a trip with her daughter in late July 2026 wrote that Ghazala and Regency Plaza Aqua Park cost roughly the same. Participants asked her to clarify when they were travelling, what kind of sea entry they needed, whether the size of the grounds mattered, and whether they planned to walk outside the hotel in the evening — since the choice depends on that.

The trip was planned for early October. The daughter is 14 and not a strong swimmer, so they needed a sea entry straight from the beach. The size of the grounds did not matter much, but it was important to have somewhere to walk in the evening — they always go out for walks.

Given those needs, one participant recommended Ghazala Gardens: it is prettier, and the beach is about an 8-minute walk away — you cross the road and walk through the small grounds of Ghazala Beach. In the evening, he said, you can stroll around Naama Bay.

Another participant, on the same day, strongly recommended Regency Plaza and called Ghazala a poor choice. He based this on TopHotels ratings: 56% for Ghazala versus 67% for Regency Plaza.
