I was in Fuerteventura for five days in 2023 after the death of my grandmother. I spontaneously booked half board and I have to say it was the best decision I made. The hotel is a bit out of the way and you have to walk about 20-30 minutes to the center of the village, but it was fantastic. The massage was very relaxing and the pool was refreshing. There is even a shuttle that picks you up in the morning and takes you to the Oasis Wildlife. The staff are very friendly and always help where they can. The buffet in the evening has endless choices and the same goes for breakfast. I was able to relax well during the difficult time and can recommend it to everyone.

R2 Rio Calma is a really nice hotel. The food was ok, the swim pools are great, the view is amazing. I loved the nights when there was live classical music in Lobby (every night). Also huge plus for Netflix / Disney etc. From the bad parts - some parts of hotel were closed (Eden, couple of outside bars). The hotel overall is a bit outdated and the gym could be better (wonderful in next R2 Rio. Overall I am very satisfied :)

The dinner and breakfast buffets can be described as follows: there is everything you could want and always of the poorest quality. If good food is of any significance to you, stay away.
The rooms are pretty noisy due to rigid connections. I can clearly hear the heavy balcony furniture being scraped around the floor by the maids as I'm writing this. Also, the main windows in our suite didn't actually close. They also put nauseatingly heavy smelling air refresher in the room which we had to vacate to the balcony. The furniture is run down and the lounge table even was completely cracked.
The whirlpool bathtub in the suites can only be activated for 15min per day and don't even get me started on the spa. It has seen better days. Tiles are lose, the hammam is rusty and the sauna was dirty.
The hotel itself is located a little isolated from the town of Costa Calma and the beach is a 20min walk. However, there's a medium rocky/sandy beach 5min away with a kite-spot, if that's your jam.
The hotel grounds are the only thing that reflects positively on management, as it is a true oasis of beauty on this desert island.
All in all, I would strongly advice against staying here.

The hotel exceeded our expectations, everything around was like in a fairytale. Kind stuff, pools with nice view, palm trees, the restaurant with stunning variety and hotel with clean rooms. The bar had a lot of different drinks with very nice and funny bartenders. As of Jan 2025, there was a reconstruction of the closest beach access, so we had to walk about 15 minutes to get to comfy sandy beach. Otherwise, perfect!

We are here now, and go home tomorrow. At the moment I hope no-one is due here imminently as there is building work going on in 2 places, a mini golf place and some work going on in the hotel grounds, and it really is very noisy and impossible to relax. The hotel complex itself is OK, but if you've looked at photos on their website I think you may be a little disappointed. The place is in need of a bit of tlc and a lick of paint here and there. Don't be fooled by "All inclusive" either... It isn't unless you want to go sleep at 22:59 as drinks have to be purchased after this time. Also the food menu is not all inclusive either. The choice of food in the restaurant is extensive, but I'm a fussy eater so can't really comment on the quality. The food at the pool bar which you can actually have is really bad.. Just my personal observation with the very limited choice on offer. The staff are all pretty good and friendly, especially the young Jose, and Hector and George. The evening "entertainment" for 5 nights was quite frankly laughable, but the other 2 nights were pretty good with decent live bands. They can't wait to close at around 11pm. The rooms are pretty basic, but adequate. Would I recommend this place? No not really as it has too many shortcomings, but with a little more effort from the owners of the complex, it could be a really great place to stay.
