Had a lovely relaxing holiday here. Some stunning views and a lovely beach near by. Rooms are a little dated but clean and spacious. When heading down to the beach,don't forget some cucumber for the gorgeous wee sand squirrels. Take straight from your hand. The gardens are immaculate and so very beautiful. Pool is fantastic too. I thought the food was ok,but my son loved it. Always something you can eat. Hope to return on a solo trip next year. And definitely be trying for mid may as the weather was just perfect for a woman of a certain age lol. This is a quiet place. So if that's what you're after it perfect 👌

I recently stayed at R2 Pájara Beach, and overall it delivered exactly what we needed — sunshine, warmth, and a proper winter reset away from the UK. The location is undeniably beautiful. The hotel sits right on the beachfront with stunning blue-green sea views, and just to the left there’s a gorgeous sandy nudist beach that became our favourite spot. We spent most of our time there, taking our own water bottles as it was only a five-minute walk back to the hotel bar.
The room was large, with a comfortable double bed and a balcony set slightly back but still offering pool views and a distant sea view. It was clean, and fresh towels were available daily (one blue pool towel provided for the stay). For five nights it was perfectly adequate, though the décor could do with a refresh. There’s no coffee-making facility in the room, which would have been appreciated.
Food-wise, there was a good selection, particularly if you’re looking to eat relatively healthily for a short stay. The ice cream was excellent, and the red wine was surprisingly good. That said, with only one main restaurant and one primary bar, queues were common. For five days the variety was fine, but for a longer stay it might start to feel repetitive.
There were some frustrations. The WiFi was horrendous — unreliable and very slow. The “all inclusive” offering had multiple exclusions: the beachfront bar wasn’t included (despite being the only proper place you could sit comfortably and smoke with a drink), pool tables weren’t included, and the beachfront sunbeds cost an additional €50 — again, the only real designated smoking area on the resort besides your balcony. Paper cups were used everywhere except the restaurant, which cheapened the experience somewhat.
Entertainment was minimal — only two actual shows in five nights, with quizzes filling the other evenings. There wasn’t much atmosphere in the hotel overall. While there were occasional lovely staff members, most interactions felt abrupt or unfriendly. A slightly odd rule was the prohibition of wearing a boob tube at breakfast, which seemed unnecessary for a beachfront hotel.
The guest demographic was noticeably older — I’d estimate around 80% over 75 — though many appeared to be repeat visitors and were very friendly.
In summary: this is a hotel in a stunning location, perfect for soaking up sun and vitamin D during a short winter escape. It’s ideal if you’re going primarily for warmth, relaxation, and beach time rather than lively entertainment or a premium all-inclusive experience. Beautiful setting, but operationally and atmospherically it could improve.

Very pleased with our stay. Room/bathroom /shower was spacious. Never slept so well on holiday! Was really quiet at night ( at least in our wing, 2nd floor , room 2223). They count their floors from the top, so top floor is first. Enjoyed the entertainment, really liked the variety, you could either watch the entertainment or go to the next floor to a disco with a bar. The only downside was the food, it wasn't bad, but could be better. It was ok, average. Altogether can definitely recommend. We had a great time. The best cappuccino is at the pool bar. Loved to greenery, palms, grass, trees, well looked after.

This hotel is fantastic value. The grounds are beautiful, stunning views of the ocean, the pools are large with lovely greenery and flowers. It’s a very relaxed environment.
The main pools are not heated so are a little too cold for March time. There is a smaller heated pool which is a nice temperature to have a swim.
There is a fantastic selection of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as a snack bar, the options are plentiful.
You can pay €25 for 90 mins spa access, this is for an indoor heated pool, hot tub area, steam room and sauna. You can pay for treatments but they seemed overpriced to me so I didn’t opt for one (I attached a photo of the options).
The gym is free and open from 08:00-20:00 it’s spacious with up to date weights and never seems to get busy. It doesn’t have air conditioning though so for a cardio workout can get a little hot (this is March so I assume worse in the warmer months)
The rooms are clean and modern, the Tv connects to Netflix, Amazon prime and YouTube which is great. There is no kettle in the room but we asked at reception and they gave us one for €10 refundable deposit. There is a mini fridge and hairdryer.
The evening entertainment was great with love music.
I would highly recommend this hotel, it is value

Feb 2026 - spent a week at this hotel as a couple. Rooms were clean and large and have just been refurbished . We had an excellent sea view from the balcony. The tv connects to Netflix and the Wi-Fi was good im the rooms and was free. Towels are provided which you can use at the nearby beaches which are excellent.
All the staff from reception to waiters and bar staff were brilliant.
Plenty of food choice at meal times. Yes it’s not the ritz but it’s very good value for money. Plenty of Sun loungers around the pool.
Cava is provided throughout and the beer is the local tropical brand. The sangria was fine too.
Costa Calma is a quiet resort but was adequate for us. The new Piano bar at the hotel is a lovely spot for a quiet evening drink and good coffee is served here.
There is activities organised through the day and night time evening shows.
We never had to queue more than a minute for any services. We can’t fault the hotel for what we paid and had a great week. Big shout to the lovely reception staff who made us feel welcome from the minute we arrived.
