Stayed at R2 Rio Calma in Nov 21. Hotel is OKish, elegant Moorish exterior but rooms would benefit from a makeover. Food was buffet and can only say average. However pools and especially the grounds were really attractive. Hotel is approx a kilometre from main sandy beech.

Great pool, terrible beds
Posted 2 Jul 2019 on HotelsOverall, the hotel is good. The only issue I have is the beds. These are the most uncomfortable beds and pillows I have had in any country, and so far travelled to just under 50 countries.
So for them to be the most uncomfortable is quite an achievement. The pillows were like bricks and the bed was just as hard. Also the sheets on the double bed seemed to be 2 single sheets overlapping in the centre of the bed. Quite bizarre.
That said, the pool area was first class and the buffet food was also good. Restaurant staff very helpful and efficient.
Overall great to stay there, but as you are driving from the airport, do yourself a favour, stop at IKEA and buy yourself some pillows.

We have been to Rio Calma many times before, this year the evening entertainment had greatly improved (at least 4 out of the 6 acts were good, whereas they used to be all fairly dreadful!) The swimming pool has new tiling. We had 2 reasons to ask reception for assistance with room queries and they were dealt with quickly and without issue. No fight for sunbeds, unusual (literally NO towels down early in the morning!!), but the whole resort was very quiet first week of June, not just this hotel. Hardly any English tourists, but we quite like that!

Good, not great
Posted 29 Sep 2017 on HotelsThe hotel was fairly nice, but a bit old and could do with a refurbishment in places. Bed was quite hard and the shower was very dark. You have to pay extra for everything. €1/day for WiFi, €10 deposit per pool towel, €10/day for spa entrance. breakfast buffet was good and had a nice selection. Very touristy location. Parking wasn't much of a problem, but there's only one entrance, so you have to walk a long way if you're unlucky with where the parking space is.

An impressive building in a good seaside location.
Posted 23 Feb 2017
Pros: Very nice outdoor restaurant. Lovely seaside outlook. Very large bed. Excellent little shop. Beautiful gardens. Waiting Staff very helpful. Palms.
Cons: Some reception staff unhelpful. Language might have been a problem.
Bedrooms over the discotheque very noisy, we should have been warned and moved.
Location: Good resort shops nearby. Generally many good beaches. best to hire a car. The Cicar hire car business nearby excellent.
My first time in a big Hotel. Unluckily the disco was two floors below our bedroom so noisy. On two nights after midnight kept awake by loud talking below our window.
The gardens and swimming pools were beautiful. The food offered lots of choice. Excellent breakfast.
