R2 Bahia Playa Design Hotel and Spa
Spain, Europe
Costa Calma
The hotel is located right by Tarajalejo beach, which takes its name from this fishing town. Set in an incomparable setting, the cosy town offers crystal clear waters right by the coast. This area of the island is known for its good climate all year round due to its natural bay and mountain range which protects it from trade winds. It is just a short walk to various restaurants and bars, and the nearest golf course is 45 km away. Tarajalejo is located in the centre of the island, 50 km from Fuerteventura Airport.
From the hotel it is possible to see the beautiful sunsets and, due to its proximity to the sea, guests will be lulled to sleep by the murmur of the waves at any time in the day. The hotel was built in 2007 and comprises a total of 172 rooms spread over 3 floors. Facilities include a lobby with 24-hour reception/check-out service, lift access, bar, restaurant, Internet access, and room service.
The rooms all come with a hairdryer, direct dial telephone, satellite/ cable TV, Internet access, minibar and a safe.
The hotel offers a heated swimming pool with sun loungers, parasols and a poolside snack bar. There is also a gym. The hotel offers spa treatments for a fee.
Breakfast and dinner are offered as a buffet.

Peaceful Stay, Disappointing All-Inclusive Experience
We stayed at R2 Bahía Playa Design Hotel in Fuerteventura for one week and, overall, had a pleasant and relaxing holiday.
The hotel is located in a quiet fishing village with just a few restaurants and a bar, making it an ideal destination if you're looking for peace and tranquillity. The hotel itself was spotless throughout our stay, and the staff were consistently friendly, welcoming and helpful. There are two good-sized swimming pools, which were well maintained.
Unfortunately, there were a few downsides. The air conditioning did not work properly, both in the bedrooms and the communal areas, making some parts of the hotel uncomfortably warm. There also weren't enough sun loungers around the pools, so it was often difficult to find one during busy periods.
The biggest disappointment was the all-inclusive food. The quality was well below expectations, with limited variety and many dishes lacking flavour or not being cooked particularly well. While there were a few enjoyable options, the overall standard of the food was poor. The drinks included in the all-inclusive package were also disappointing, especially the cocktails. On the other hand, the premium cocktails available for an additional €6 were very good and definitely worth the extra cost.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay thanks to the peaceful location, the cleanliness of the hotel and the excellent staff. However, the food, drinks and air conditioning significantly detracted from what could otherwise have been an excellent all-inclusive experience.

No return
Be careful, spa not included 25 euros for 90 minutes. Air con was rubbish, bar staff were rude, except Daniela at the poor bar. No tea and coffee facilities. Rooms were dark. It wasn't a quiet hotel. No where to really walk to . Food was either fish or pork. Too many people and food wasn't replaced when they run out Cocktails were rubbish unless you paid 7 euros for the proper ones. Also no smoking area except by the toilets, this was very intimating when you walked passed and there was groups of men there outside the toilets. Entertainment was awful, tbh I will not be returning .
Please turn the aircon on in the rooms and restaurant
We have had a really lovely week except for one thing - please turn the aircon on in the rooms. It's over 30 degrees in the rooms in the evening and it's such a shame. We have a beautiful sea view room, every thing is clean, food is nice - always something to eat. Always get a nice drink too. We would be back if the air con worked but it's just stifling all evening and night. (And we know we aren't the only ones who have said this!)

Hotel, food, and rooms OK, Beach 2/5, water shoes recommended
Unique, romantic haven in Fuerteventura! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay at the Romantic Fantasia Suites area in the R2 Bahia Playa hotel was an absolute fairytale. My partner and I were looking for a peaceful, luxurious place to unwind just the two of us, and this choice turned out to be a total jackpot!
Why do we give it the highest rating? Exclusive adults-only area: The Adults Only formula combined with the intimate atmosphere of the Fantasia Suites provides an incredible sense of privacy. The beautiful, quiet pool dedicated to this area is the perfect spot to relax away from the crowds.
Wonderful room (Suite): Spacious, decorated in a modern, romantic style, and spotlessly clean. The absolute highlight was the private terrace, where we could enjoy the sun and the beautiful views.
Location and views: The hotel is picturesquely located right next to a peaceful, dark sand beach in Tarajalejo. The proximity to the ocean, the sound of the waves, and the Fuerteventura landscapes create an amazing vibe.
Service and food: The staff was incredibly warm, smiling, and always helpful. The food in the restaurant was highly varied, fresh, and delicious – ranging from local delicacies to international cuisine.
Summary: If you are looking for a place for a romantic getaway for two, where time slows down and the standard allows for total relaxation – Romantic Fantasia Suites at R2 Bahia Playa is the perfect address. We came back well-rested, tanned, and with beautiful memories. Highly recommended!
