We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The hotel is stylish, and the beautiful garden creates plenty of natural shade around the swimming pools, making it a great place to relax even on hot days. There are three pools, all clean and well maintained.
The staff deserves special praise. Everyone was friendly, smiling, and genuinely seemed to care about the guests’ satisfaction. Their positive attitude made us feel very welcome throughout our stay.
The food was varied, and we believe everyone can find something they enjoy. We also appreciated that the hotel makes an effort to reduce food waste, which is a thoughtful and responsible approach.
Overall, we had a great experience and would happily recommend this hotel.

I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming.
I would especially like to mention Szűcs Vivien, who was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful during my stay. She went out of her way to assist with any questions and made sure everything was taken care of. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service really stood out and made a great impression.
Thank you for the great hospitality. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others and would be happy to stay here again in the future.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. The staff were consistently polite, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit.
We really enjoyed the facilities, especially the indoor and outdoor gym, and treated ourselves to some relaxing spa treatments. The range of activities was impressive—we took part in pilates sessions and dance classes, which added a fun and active element to our stay.
There was plenty to keep both adults and children entertained, with great activities and entertainment available. The food was also a highlight—delicious, varied, and well-prepared.
Overall, it’s a wonderful hotel with something for everyone. We would definitely return and highly recommend it.

This review is to close our trip as a couple. Overall, we had a very pleasant holiday and enjoyed our stay.
Despite a slightly complicated start due to some unclear information about how the hotel badges worked, the spa being closed for renovation without guests being informed beforehand, and the beach being further from the hotel than expected and not particularly easy to access, we were nevertheless given a very beautiful room. Unfortunately, several of the lights in the room were not working.
The swimming pool, however, is quite damaged, with many broken tiles, which can be dangerous for guests. It also did not seem particularly clean during our stay.
The hotel itself is very beautiful, with lots of greenery, and the atmosphere is calm, peaceful and relaxing.
On two consecutive days, despite being seated in an area where we were clearly visible and passing by the staff regularly, unfortunately we were not served any drinks.
However, for the rest of our holiday, we had the pleasure of being served by a waiter named Rafael (tall, with white hair), who was absolutely lovely. As soon as he saw us arriving, he would prepare our drinks so that they were ready to be served as soon as we sat down. He was extremely pleasant and attentive, and I am very grateful for his kindness and excellent service. We were very often seated at table 064.
Thank you for providing such a peaceful and beautiful place. It is a refreshing change from the standard, box-shaped hotels without any distinctive architecture or character.
Despite the few issues we encountered, we had a lovely holiday and will remember the beautiful surroundings and relaxing atmosphere.

We spent ten days at R2 Rio Calma in April, and overall it was a relaxing and visually stunning place to unwind, especially if you’re looking for peace, sunshine, and beautiful surroundings.
The first thing that stands out is the unique colonial-style design and architecture - the hotel feels almost like a grand resort from another era, with impressive interiors and lush, tiered gardens overlooking the ocean. Walking through the grounds, with palm trees, fountains, and sea views, was easily one of the highlights of our stay.
The pool area is fantastic, with large outdoor pools and even a lagoon-style swimming area with a small man-made beach, which gives the place a really special atmosphere.
Even in April, the weather was perfect for relaxing by the pool, and the setting felt calm rather than overcrowded.
Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a balcony that made it easy to enjoy the views and fresh air. Most rooms are designed to maximise natural light and sea views, which definitely adds to the overall experience.
The hotel has a good range of facilities including a spa, gym, and multiple restaurants and bars, so there’s always something to do without needing to leave the resort.
Breakfast and buffet options offer plenty of variety, though like many large resorts, the food can feel a bit hit-or-miss depending on the day.
One of the biggest positives is the peaceful atmosphere. It’s not a party hotel—much more suited to couples or anyone looking to properly switch off and relax.
That said, there are a couple of things to be aware of. The hotel is slightly isolated, about a 20–30 minute walk from the main beach and town, so you may need a taxi if you want to explore more.
Also, parts of the hotel feel a little dated, and service can occasionally be inconsistent during busy periods.
Overall, we had a really enjoyable 10-day stay. R2 Rio Calma is ideal if you value beautiful surroundings, relaxing vibes, and great pool areas over ultra-modern luxury or a central location. It’s the kind of place where you can truly disconnect and enjoy a slower pace of holiday.
