R2 Bahia Playa - Adults Only

Amazing hotel, friendly staff, good food and very clean. nice area and loved the pools and entertainment. would come back again. spa is amazing with sauna and heated lounge chairs. locals are very friendly and helpful. only thing i would say is the food was the same most days but this may be due to end of season.

We stayed here last year sept/Oct and we absolutely loved the hotel and the staff. We got there very late due to our flight being delayed and they offered us food and a drink. Our room was great, really large balcony with stunning sea views. We had sun loungers on the balcony as well as a table and chairs, was just stunning sitting there with the sound of the sea. The food was great, lots of choices and was really nice to sit outside with our food. People have complained about the drinks, we had no problems with them.. the cocktails on the all inclusive are made up in a machine at the pool bar but if you wanted you can buy other cocktails. They had tropical lager which happens to be a favourite of mine! We had no problems getting sun loungers at both pools, one pool is really quiet the other has entertainment. Evening entertainment was good, we really enjoyed the night with the DJ on he was lots of fun and good music. The area by the hotel is Very quite which is what we wanted, a few lovely places to eat and a few shops plus a really good spar. If you want a relaxing holiday this is the place, if you want lots of busy bars close by this is not the place for you. We loved it so much we are going back this November and can't wait.

Nice hotel clean quiet location not much too do this is a relaxing place. My room was lovely over sea. Lovely friendly staff apart from few but overall lovely especially disco bar Francisco fab guy.. food was OK not brilliant but OK. Had to get up early to get sun bed at 7am.

Overall I liked it ror relaxed holiday from work.

A wonderful relaxing holiday. Staff really friendly. Good food, clean rooms, everything you need for a holiday can be found in the hotel. Good gym, spa was lovely and treatments. Safe, peaceful and also suitable for families with children.

We stayed at the R2 Bahia Playa Design Hotel & Spa for a week of all-inclusive indulgence. Lets start with check-in process. We arrived at the hotel at 21:30 starving after all the hours of travel. The first thing that the lovely receptionist did, was told us where to store our bags, put a wrist band on us and nearly marched us to the restaurant so we could get some food just before it closed. The thought was very much appreciated. The whole check-in process went smoothly and quickly. The only thing I would recommend is having your vouchers printed out if you booked through a third party. It was not a large issue, as she simply asked us to email it to the reception. Next the room, after some research and reading all the reviews we decided to spent just a bit extra to get a sea view room. And it definitely paid off. The balcony was huge, with 2 loungers and a table with chairs. We were lucky to be on the second floor, which meant our balcony was partly shaded by the smaller balcony from the upper room. When booking a room I highly recommend paying that little extra for the sea view and if you can, ask for room in the area of room numbers 268 to 240. They are directly by the pool with a bar, have the largest balconies of all of the rooms and are just a few steps from the second pool and a floor up from the restaurant. Just a warning tho, all bathrooms have a glass wall and the toilet has a frosted glass door as well, so going to the bathroom in the night lights up the room. It would be lovely to have a blind or something to prevent that. We found the bed to be on the firmer side, but a quick trip to the reception and the housekeeping added toppers for a bit of extra comfort. Beds are two single beds pushed together (making it a nicely sized super king) that are unfortunately not secured in any way and do move apart during the night. It would be nice for the hotel to come up with a way to prevent that, I imagine a king sized topper and a mattress cover might be enough to hold in together or just a way of securing the beds. The large door to the balcony is connected to the AC system, and sensibly prevents it from running when the door is open. The blackout curtains definitely do the job, and additional lighter mesh-like curtains let a nice breeze through. They however do not block the multitude of hotel cats from entering the room if you are not paying attention. For that reason we did not end up leaving the balcony open even if the sound of waves and palm leaves rustling in the wind was very pleasing. And apologies to the very pregnant momma cat that climbed in our suitcase under the bed and attempted to make a den, there was no need to meow at us every time you walked past just cause we shooed you out of the room. During our stay one of the pools was being completely re-done. You might have come across reviews about damaged wooden decking, well that is all gone. We got lucky that they reopened the pool on our last day, and it looks amazing. A

The best chill out place ever.might stay for the whole of Christmas this year. Special thanks to the lady who was fresh cooking the fish and meat.staff were amazing especially the pool safety girl who helped my husband after he cut his foot. Big thank you to everyone who make me want to go back!!! X
