This hotel is perfect in all ways other than the location. It's in the middle of no where. Car hire is essential. The beach is rocky and you can't lay on it. The level of cleanliness is 10 out of 10 as are all the staff. Manuel Omar and Naomi all stand out. Food is food and selection good. All inclusive drinks are not good. Local Spar shop and fridge in your room solves this issue. Poolside music from loud boom box very irritating. Some nice chill relax music would be better. Lifeguard works hard to keep pools clean and tidy. All in all OK but we wouldn't come again. We found much nicer beaches and locations driving about.

I am a solo traveller.
The hotel as a whole is superb. The staff is friendly, helpful, and always smiling, and they work very hard for you.
I booked a junior suite, which had a balcony over the poolside, but it didn't get so noisy it disturbed you. The room was clean and made up with new towels every day, even without putting the door slip on.
The food is varied every day and for every meal time. Superb selection provided.
2 pools available, one of them heated. The only downside is that states clearly don't reserve your lounger, but alas every lounger has a towel on it in the places where the sun shines all day long. Towels placed there at dawn !
The pool bar and lounge bar have a variety of drinks to pick from, and again, only downside is they have one bar person working... long queues for a drink at times.
I had an hour spa and massage to follow. Massage was relaxing and worth the money. The actual spa was lovely but the staff didn't tell you where to go or what to do first.
The hotel is on a black sand beach with a spa close by ( walking distance) but nothing else there. You can hire a car for little money and explore and or take a bus but don't expect to be entertained outside the hotel. This place is to escape, enjoy peaceful, relaxing unwind time.
I would highly recommend R2 hotels and would book again

Just back from a few days here with my friend. We read reviews before we went and were a bit apprehensive, but needn’t have worried. Plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas, certainly no rush to go and secure them at sunrise.
Food was plentiful and good quality, I wasn’t keen on the fish night but that’s preference.
The room was clean and large enough that we weren’t under each other’s feet. The balcony was nice with a table and chairs to sit at and a small airer for wet swimwear.
Plenty of wardrobe space, a TV, desk and a safe if you wanted it.
The bathroom could do with being refurbished, but so long as it’s clean, it’s fine.
The housekeeping was really good, beds made daily and floors swept and mopped.
People moaning about lack of beach-look at a map of where you’re going before you book! You’ll see what’s in the vicinity and decide whether it’s for you or not. It’s very quiet at the bottom end of the island, and that’s just what we wanted.
Overall really pleased and would go back again.

I enjoyed my stay. Hotel is right by the beautiful black sandy beach... such a quiet, safe, location and you can see and walk all the beautiful dusty hills. Loved it.
The rooms were really nice (but bed was hard... that's my only negative).
My chambermaid left me a different animal made from towels, whenever she cleaned my room, which was a nice touch.
I had all inclusive and food was amazing 👏🏾 I ate well 😋 and enjoyed trying new things. I am so happy that I was able to eat fish and seafood all week as well.
FYI: R2 Romantic Fantasia Dreams & Suites Hotel is part of the Bahia Playa R2 hotels (just in case anyone needs to know that). I didn't know that before I arrived, so that caused a bit of confusion for me with my transfer.

I really enjoyed this hotel, it was a very relaxing holiday, but it could have been better. Good points 2 pools 1 with a party theme the other a more relaxed atmosphere. Room, nice cleaned every day with a beautiful sea view and spacious. Staff friendly enough. Just a couple of niggles food repetitive and not all drinks are on the all inclusive list which you have to pay for. Oh and if you like a G+T while taking the beautiful view on your lovely balcony, may just get a strong aroma of some herbal infusion.
