A Relaxing Winter Escape
We recently enjoyed a fantastic stay at R2 Pajara Beach Hotel, and it exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the staff were brilliant—always friendly, attentive, and eager to make our stay special.
The food was another highlight, catering wonderfully for vegetarians with plenty of delicious options. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.
The hotel provided a truly relaxing atmosphere for a winter break. The animation team was excellent, keeping us entertained without being intrusive—just the right balance!
The pool area is hands-down the best we've ever seen. Spacious, well-designed, and perfect for unwinding, it quickly became our favorite spot. The entire hotel, including the pool area, was spotlessly clean, with even the bins looking shiny and well-maintained!
Overall, it was a perfect getaway, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for relaxation, great food, and outstanding service!

We stayed at this beach resort for one week at the beginning of December, hoping for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway before the holidays. The weather was consistently warm, which was perfect for spending time by the two pools and enjoying the tropical atmosphere created by the abundance of palm trees around the property. The setting itself was visually appealing, and the resort seemed well-maintained at first glance.
However, our experience was not without issues. Unfortunately, my husband and son came down with a stomach bug midway through our stay, which made things very unpleasant for the remainder of the trip. While we can’t pinpoint exactly what caused it, this unexpected health issue affected how much we could enjoy the resort’s amenities and activities.
The overall ambiance of the resort was a mix of positives and negatives. During the day, the setting was lovely, but in the evenings, it felt lifeless. Only the bar near the main restaurant was open, while the other half of the resort was left in darkness, which made it feel uninviting. That said, to compensate for the lack of outdoor vibrancy at night, the resort offered a variety of fun indoor activities such as Mini Disco, Flamenco show, Magic Show, Music Bands, etc. These were well-organized and provided a good alternative for guests looking to stay engaged in the evenings, even though they couldn’t fully make up for the dull atmosphere outside.
While there were some positive aspects, such as the warm December weather, the attractive pool areas, and the engaging indoor activities, the combination of health issues and the lack of lively outdoor spaces left us feeling underwhelmed. Overall, it was an okay experience, but there’s room for improvement, particularly in creating a more inviting and vibrant atmosphere across the entire resort.

We stayed at this property for 10 nights.
Let’s start with the hotel as you enter it’s bright and very clean. A very weird layout of floors are a different layout meaning that floor 1 at the top of the building and floor 9 at the bottom
The room was spotless clean. A massive shout out to Maria who cleaned our room on the daily dud a fantastic job the room was always clean and tidy.
The room is outdated and needs some attention. I would bring your own pillow(s) as you are given one and it like sleeping on a brick.
If you’re going on holiday and like to communicate with other English people this hotel is not for you. The majority of guests are from Germany and Poland.
They offer breakfast lunch and dinner. At lunch it is the same food and at dinner there is. Big variety of foood which you can choose from. The issue is the food is always cold. No once did I have a hot meal as the temperature of the food is cold. The food is sat under hot lamps which are also cold.
There are 3 pools one massive one which is Baltic, a baby pool and smaller pool. The smaller one was heated to an extend and is the one we normally used.
You would think that suggesting from the name that the hotel would have a beach. You would be wrong. The beach is a 10 minute walk from the hotel and it is nudist beach where you have to pay to use the sunbeds where if you’re not Spanish you get ripped off. The first time we paid 30 euro for 2. The second time paid 10 euro for one 1
Transfer to the hotel in 90 minutes.
If you get sick of the cold food you can walk 15 minutes into La colma where there are some fantastic restaurants I would recommend mamma Mia.
There is a shop on site with a selection of drinks and snacks be warned they are pricey for example a bottle of water is 1.30€ if you walk to the spa in la colma it’s €0.50.
I wouldn’t stay here again for the fact you f that the food is cold.

This hotel is amazing. Stayed for Christmas and newyears. Saw the year in Spain style with a mouthful of grapes and 1000 balloons to pop and superb singer as entertainment. Upgraded to the top room for free on arrival with beach and sunset view. Champagne by the bottle on arrival, coffee great. Food was incredible for an all inclusive. And great local restaurants for more options. Staff where lovely, pools incredible. Beaches brilliant. ( bar the nude people lol) Just can't recommend highly enough. 21 degrees in winter and no cloud the whole week. Will be visiting again for longer next time. Dolphin trip was brilliant! The only thing, and this is being really nit picky, the bath was not cleaned properly even on 5 visits from room service and there was no vegetables. Loads of fruit, crazy salads, fish, meat and variety galore, but no veg.

Sunbeds: this is a frustration every day, as sunbeds are reserved by people very early each day contrary to the hotel rules, and therefore it’s very difficult to get a sunbed. The hotel don’t enforce the ‘no reservation’ rules. People will reserve sunbeds all day yet only spend an hour using them. Each day, every single sunbed is taken, yet only 30% are actually being used - and it’s not accounted by folks in the pool. It’s a ludicrous situation. You won’t be surprised to hear it’s a 99% German patronage. We ended up just removing people’s towels and taking the sunbeds, and letting them try to argue for 2 minutes on their return hours later. #satisfaction
Food: the food is very poor quality, and not a great selection. All inclusive food generally is always hit and miss but unfortunately comparatively this hotel has below average food for an all inclusive, especially surprising given this isn’t a cheap option for a resort. We ate out 4 times in a 5 day trip and skipped meals 3 times.
Location: there is very little nearby to explore in terms of bars and restaurants. If you want to get outside the reality then I wouldn’t recommend.
Pool: the pool isn’t heated and is quite cold, however it is a very pleasant area to chill if you manage to get a sunbed.
ATM: 13% markup on conversions plus a fee per transaction is a joke. 1£ to 1€ conversion plus fees.
Staff: Great staff generally especially reception staff. A couple of grumpy unfriendly ones which lessens the experience. Guy with dreadlocks in the entertainment bar on Thursday was outright rude.
Guests: it’s a German resort so it’s not generally catered for English people - in fact a lot of staff don’t speak English so it’s worth knowing some Spanish. I found guests to be a mixed bag, just like anywhere, with some being friendly and others being inconsiderate.
