R2 Hotel Pajara Beach

To start to the review I’d give a big warning not to attend this hotel. Food hygiene is clearly not a priority or consideration in anyway with this hotel. My partner had terrible food poisoning and was up sick all night following eating at the Hotel buffet and was poorly for days after. We heard numerous other people vomiting from other rooms (assuming due to food poisoning also) and multiple other reviews have complained about having got food poisoning from the hotel food clearly showing it wasn’t an isolated incident. Unfortunately we didn’t listen or read these reviews and have paid the price. So for your own sake do not attend this hotel. To make things worse when alerting the reception about the food poisoning they acted very rude and didn’t even apologise. Upon complaining to our holiday provider, the provider called and the hotel told them we should go down to reception to ask to be catered for our dietary preferences - I don’t think not having food poisoning is a dietary requirement. No compensation offered. The room was spacious and nicely located only issue is there are a lot of little ants in the room and could do with another couple of pillows for the bed. Room was cleaned daily and bed made. You’re given two bottles of water on arrival which you need to refill at stations around the hotel. Towels are provided (left in your room, though ours wasn’t so had to collect from reception), and you can swap them for fresh ones for the cost of 1 euro. Hotel lobby was really nice, pool lovely, bar staff great, good drinks (tropical beer, slushy cocktails). Lots of sun beds to choose from and great animation team. The animation team regularly come around and hand out cocktails whilst you’re on the sun bed and one day there was live music out by the pool. Evening entertainment was really good and different each night. Ultimately the hotel excelled in a lot of aspects but the food is unforgivable and not something anyone should risk. I wanted to give an honest picture of the hotel so included the good parts however I would like to reiterate - do not attend this hotel. Might seem good briefly until you’re violently sick which will happen.

Just back from a fantastic stay. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite. The room was great with fantastic views. Rooms were cleaned every day and topped up with plenty of bottled water daily. Plenty of sun loungers by the pool, cocktails by the pool were strong! Staff were pleasant and there was a good variety of food. Perfect for a chilled few days away
