R2 Hotel Pajara Beach

Comida buffet con gran variedad de alimentos. Vimos dos espectaculos nocturnos, el de rock estuvo genial pero otro estilo indie dejo mucho que desear

My partner and I booked a 6 night 7 day holiday here. It’s started today. We have already experienced a shed load of disappointment. After booking 3 months in advance, paying nearly €1500 in total to get to the hotel we were given a ground floor room with 0 sea view over looking a children’s play area that provides 0 privacy. The bath was dirty and when we asked to be relocated we were completely fobbed off and effectively told to suck it up. In my booking I explained and gave the hotel notice that this was a very important and special trip as we’re celebrating our 3rd anniversary and my birthday in the same week. Specifically asking for a sea view or upper floor. Instead we get neither. I’m writing this review with the intent that the R2 hotels group write me a formal apology giving at the very least a partial if not full refund. This is unacceptable from a “4 star hotel”

Hotel The hotel itself is absolutely amazing. The grounds are HUGE and the fact it is right on a beautiful beach is great. There is a pool bar which serves lovely slushy cocktails and soft drinks. The beach is just a few steps down and is amazing, you can walk all the way along the beach to little cafes and a town which I recommend. There are loads of sunbeds we went in May and could get a sunbed at any time of the day, even after 12. The grounds were always spotlessly clean and tidy. There are 4 shops in the hotel, 3 boutique privately owned ones and one is the R2 bazaar. There is a large buffet dining room with plenty of tables and chairs. The hotel has 6 floors, the entertainment space is large and very nicely decorated. The hotel is extremely clean and tidy with plenty of sitting areas/sofas Entertainment the entertainment cannot be faulted. The two young lads who ran the entertainment were so engaging and fun, every night was something fun and it was genuinely a great laugh. Remember this is not broadway and everyone will moan at something but it was great fun every night. Food Unfortunately this was the let down for this hotel. The foot was extremely limited, offering things like goat and rabbit on some nights. There was always chips and paella on offer and usually pork which was okay. I just had pasta every night from the children’s section which was nice but wanted some variety. A bit of grilled chicken etc would have been nice. There are themed nights for food but perhaps it was our personal opinion that it was not very nice. The desserts however were AMAZING. We ended up finding an amazing beach bar 10 mins walk away which was great, recommend eating out for at least one meal a day or you will struggle to find things. The A la carte restaurant is just a room in the pool bar, we didn’t try it. The pool bar snacks are leftovers from lunch/breakfast - everyone seemed to love. There are always ice creams available which is a nice touch Drinks The drinks were very strong and very nice. A variety of cocktails to pick from, spirits, whiskey etc Guests Majority of the guests are not British, unfortunately we felt extremely judged by absolutely everyone and this is mirrored in a lot of other reviews. Staff The bartending staff were absolutely lovely so were all the male chefs and entertainment group. huge shoutout to JONATHON at the pool bar, this guy is so friendly to every nationality even though some weren’t so polite to him, he is amazing !!! The reception team were also very accommodating to all of our queries/issues so that was great. However the woman in the R2 bazaar was the rudest woman I have ever met, she would be so rude and didn’t want to let you convert the card transaction into GBP which every other member of staff asked you what you would prefer. She was very abrupt and very impolite even muttering in Spanish, after telling us off for converting our own transaction to GBP. The women working in the restaurant were als

So we went as a group of 4 girls and we had the best time, we ourselves are Northern Irish. The hotel itself looks far better than in the photos we got a hire car from Auto riesen and it was a very easy drive, there was plenty of free parking outside. On arrival there was a welcome drink of cava, we may have had 2 lol. The reception staff were friendly particulay Andrea. The hotel has lovely facilities and has access directly onto a wee beach which again is beautiful. The hotel had a good range of food with reasonable quality. I travelled with a vegan and a vegetarian and they found loads to eat. The hotel I believe is German run and the majority of folks staying are German we felt this added to our trip, everyone was respectful and kept themselves to themselves and the hotel operated with precision.. all wants catered for.. I suppose it depends what you want from a holiday we wanted peace and quiet, plenty to drink and eat with good scenery and we got it. We are booking for next year again. Maybe if you prefer a livelier nightlife it isn't the place for that but for rest and recuperation it is great We forced ourselves to leave the hotel and drove up the mountains to Pajara we had a great day out.. All and all a lovely experience The squirrels at the back of the hotel are great too

We have just arrived at the hotel yesterday. It is predominantly German guests but that’s not a problem. The food so far has been good. Reception staff are lovely and so helpful. The room is lovely and comfortable. We still have more to discover. The reason we only gave a three is the bartender in the pool bar is very abrupt and dismissive, we don’t know if that’s because we are new, or British. There is no drinks menu so we have no idea what to ask for. Every request for our choice of drink has been an abrupt no. We will go and see reception today and see what drinks we can ask for as we have no idea!

I highly recommend, the services are very good, the food is exceptional and mixed, the reception, the pools, entertainment, photos and all the staff are very sociable and polite. The room is very clean and the house keeping staff are very friendly. We will definitely come back!

absolutely fantastic, only stayed for a couple of days and they flew buy as there was so much to do. whilst exploring the massive resort, we tested out the spar facilities (amazing), made good use of the bar, enjoyed the pool and looked round the many shops. food was very tasty with a very big variety for picky eaters and all the staff were very kind and attentive. some reviews felt as though british people were somewhat ‘singled out’ and judged - i can assure you that neither me or my mother (british) felt like that: all staff were extremely welcoming.

If you wanted to criticise the hotel you probably could find a few things to do it for, but to be honest, the hotel ticked all of our boxes. Great location with its own access to the beach, even though a little patch of it, but enough to enjoy the ocean swims. Comfortable big rooms with separate rooms for kids! Having 2 bathrooms made a huge difference! Amazing yummy food. The chefs cater for everyone! The restaurant has an indoor and outdoor terrace. Lunch can also be eaten by the pool from the pool bar buffet. Helpful reception staff that solved all our problems and dealt with issues quickly. Great pools and well looked after gardens! We will definitely come back again!
