R2 Rio Calma

Great Hotel with amazing architecture and good food, but something that make my family sure that we had made a good choice was time that we spend with an amazing animator Marco! Really well-organized and full of passion person, who’s give all his best to make you feel good. Great ideas for exercises and leadership is his strong sides, because of him, for sure we will come back to Hotel Rio Calma. I wish to meet people like Marco in every hotel I go to…

The hotel was quite mediocre. The room we stayed in was nice and clean. The fridge was terrible. It was not cold at all and it smelt like there was a dead mouse possibly behind it. The patio door did not lock at all. The restaurant was ok. The food was the same every day. The waiters all were working really hard for probably little appreciation. There was one particular barman in the Lobby Bar called Gordano who was miserable the whole time. Really put me off going to that particular bar as he was really rude. He really needs some customer service skills drilled into him. Everyone else was actually really lovely. I would recommend the hotel as it is in a quiet area, but also I would not recommend this hotel as it seems to really hone in on catering for Germans. So it can be quite uncomfortable as they seem to have some sort of privilege over anyone else. You should cater for everyone.

We went as a group of three friends for a few days in the sun. On arrival the hotel lobby is large and impressive looking, and the hotel is very clean and the rooms were also clean and beds comfortable enough. The pool is really nice but there aren’t enough sun loungers for the amount of guests and the sun loungers are always claimed at first light with belongings so no chance of a decent bed after 8.30am. The food was bad, I mean really really bad. A canteen style set up which on first impression seems plentiful, but the options are painfully dire. We were only there for 4 nights thankfully but after a day soaking up the sun it was a heart sinking feeling to head for dinner, knowing what was in store for us at the restaurant. We ventured out to Costa Calma but it is totally run down and nothing there, lots closed and nothing to do at all. We found a decent pizza place called Aperipizza on our last day and it tasted like the best meal I have ever had, because it was fresh and hot and had flavour-all the things missing from food at the hotel. Some of the staff were quite miserable and honestly the guests didn’t look that happy either. We were in the hotel lobby bar one evening and likened it to a ‘purgatory vibe’- everyone just sitting there waiting for something to happen and nothing ever did. Not somewhere I will ever return. When people ask about my trip I say ‘great company, amazing weather, poor hotel and bad food’

The architecture and cleanliness of the hotel is great, on first approach we were really pleased. Our sea view left a lot to be desired but the bedroom itself was perfect. The pool is fabulous but the sun bathing space with loungers is crowded and there aren't enough chairs for the size of the hotel. The location is isolated with nothing much around, a few restaurants but no great walks etc. The food is probably the worst we have ever had on a holiday and the drinks are watered down. Nobody smiles at this hotel, one of the waiters at the pool bar virtually growls at you, even the guests are a bit miserable. We witnessed a proper fight over sun loungers on our last day with a guest being thrown into the pool, not pleasant to watch with children around. The entertainments are poor and the crazy golf is closed, can't see it opening up as it's in a huge state of disrepair. We wouldn't go back, that's for sure

Just returned from a week at this hotel. It is a clean and well designed hotel. The staff were amazing and always helpful and polite. The restaurant was well managed and the food was of a good standard. The waiters were very attentive as were the chefs and the service was excellent. My room was cleaned daily and the bed was comfortable. Maybe investing in some new pillows is my only criticism. I didnt have any problems getting a sunbed by the pool. The hotel is not close to the local shops and it certainly takes longer to walk to them than it states on the information. However I would definitely stay at this hotel again .

Nice Hotel, and cool phototeam greetings on andrej and adella nice people! Have there a good sleep. The all inclusive package were good, and the diners were varied. Everey day were something different fish and flesh and vegetables. The pool area in front is beautiful.

Absolutely stunning hotel which had the look and feel of a small Spanish town - town square included - but all with the complex. Dining was an absolute joy - so much I had to complain about the food one evening: it was just too delicious and I was being forced into eating far too much! And what a pleasure to eat in the fantastic and magical outdoor dining areas; such a change from having no option but to eat in a glorified school canteen in other hotel. Constructive criticism: First, please allow guests a more luxurious toiletries range. Offering one "body/hair shampoo" in a pump dispense doesn't exactly lend itself to a luxurious bathroom experience. Also, it's impossible not to use conditioner with longer hair. Secondly, ideally the hotel would offer a shuttle service to the main beach, even if just a few times a day. That would make this hotel absolutely perfect.

Beautiful Hotel with an impressive view and a friendly atmosphere. Relaxing holiday for the whole family as our kids feld well in the kids club with Asya and Manuel. In the evenings they enjoyed their daily 'dance workout' on the stage where afterwards nice shows were given.

we stayed at the rio calma for 7 nights with our little family. the hotel has beautiful designs and gardens. best overall compare to other resorts in costa calma. the venue use to have a lagoon and a ninigolf however both have fallen into decay which is a minus. the rooms are very quiet, clean and spacious. pools are heated and generous size. lovely to sit on a the grass with the shades from the palm trees. the surroundings the hotel is located remotely from costa calma. you ll need to walk 15 mins up and down to find your first shop. (there is a tiny one inside the hotel for essential supplies) you are next to a beautiful beach where you can practice extreme sports. there is also a nice promenade walk to enjoy the cliffs. if you are looking for an easy access to a sandy beach you lll have to look for another hotel. in terms of security, no one is controlling the venue entrances. anyone outside can enter the hotel without being checked. another issue to fix Catering this was the real disappointment, the food is varied but not of great quality. barely any local specialties. the staff at the restaurant are clearly overworked and not helpful. they ignore you if you don’t speak spanish. this is something the management should look into the pool/lifeguard personnel were very rude and useless. they assign reserved seats for disabled people to anyone who pays. when questionnes they ignore you and ask to speak to reception. that is also for management to look into and fix. overall service & prestations the gardeners, cleaning, entertainment personel are very friendly, smiley and helpful. please note you ll need to pay extras for any requests, kettles, pool towel replacements.
