R2 Rio Calma Hotel

"The hotel is dreamily beautiful. The ambiance, amenities, and service leave nothing to be desired. I would like to express a very special thank you to our housekeeper Lida; our room was always impeccably clean and tidy, and she is very helpful, accommodating, and very pleasant. The only thing I find a shame is that the lighting in some of the rooms has been switched to white light; I hope this is not implemented everywhere, because the white light takes away the charm of the ambiance. We are here for the second time already, and everything is great, pleasantly relaxed, and restful. We can definitely recommend this hotel and were certainly not here for the last time."

"Raul, the waiter, a great worker and a great person; it is a pleasure to be served by staff like that."

"First want to start by saying please don’t be put off booking this hotel by reading bad reviews, as I first hand did not experience anything of what I had read before going and was apprehensive about booking but i am thrilled we did! Location is very isolated not much around in terms of night life , small shopping mall less than 5 mins by car with restaurants and bars ( quiet location) but still enough to browse or buy any essentials you need Food was great Plenty of options , meats of many varieties over the 5 days we were there and all cooked in front of you. Waiters serve you drinks and clean constantly which I thought was really good as nothing worse than left over mess all around when you are dining. Only beer wine water or soft drinks in restaurant served by staff which was never a issue for us Pools incredibly clean pool areas and beds which were always monitored by staff for litter, plenty of beds to go around although I’m guessing in the peak summer months this might change. A kids pool, a busier middle pool with beautiful see view and then a really relaxing peaceful adult pool with grass surrounding so calming. Our room was beautiful with an amazing view of hotel grounds , pools and sea , cleaned regularly. No complaints Entertainment is kids disco early evening followed by a different act at 9.30 each night , many reviews mentioned this being too late but we found it ideal as dinner shut at 9pm and was directly opposite entertainment centre so it was perfect to not have to rush after a pool day to get to dinner and show. All acts were great, Lobby bar serving 10am-11pm all inclusive with branded spirits, beers soft drinks , lovely selection of coffees made on request Pool bar serves snacks from 12.30-6pm and drinks. All inclusive snacks are toastie, hot dog or burger with fries which you have to eat at pool bar dining area which was lovely with views of sea. It is waiter service for food All staff at this hotel were so lovely pleasant friendly and helpful and so hardworking , honestly credit to them. If you are looking for a busy party holiday this is not the hotel or location but if you want relaxation and luxury then this is the one. We will definitely return and will recommend to friends Elizabeth"
