We stayed at the R2 Bahia Playa Design Hotel & Spa for a week of all-inclusive indulgence. Lets start with check-in process. We arrived at the hotel at 21:30 starving after all the hours of travel. The first thing that the lovely receptionist did, was told us where to store our bags, put a wrist band on us and nearly marched us to the restaurant so we could get some food just before it closed. The thought was very much appreciated. The whole check-in process went smoothly and quickly. The only thing I would recommend is having your vouchers printed out if you booked through a third party. It was not a large issue, as she simply asked us to email it to the reception. Next the room, after some research and reading all the reviews we decided to spent just a bit extra to get a sea view room. And it definitely paid off. The balcony was huge, with 2 loungers and a table with chairs. We were lucky to be on the second floor, which meant our balcony was partly shaded by the smaller balcony from the upper room. When booking a room I highly recommend paying that little extra for the sea view and if you can, ask for room in the area of room numbers 268 to 240. They are directly by the pool with a bar, have the largest balconies of all of the rooms and are just a few steps from the second pool and a floor up from the restaurant. Just a warning tho, all bathrooms have a glass wall and the toilet has a frosted glass door as well, so going to the bathroom in the night lights up the room. It would be lovely to have a blind or something to prevent that. We found the bed to be on the firmer side, but a quick trip to the reception and the housekeeping added toppers for a bit of extra comfort. Beds are two single beds pushed together (making it a nicely sized super king) that are unfortunately not secured in any way and do move apart during the night. It would be nice for the hotel to come up with a way to prevent that, I imagine a king sized topper and a mattress cover might be enough to hold in together or just a way of securing the beds. The large door to the balcony is connected to the AC system, and sensibly prevents it from running when the door is open. The blackout curtains definitely do the job, and additional lighter mesh-like curtains let a nice breeze through. They however do not block the multitude of hotel cats from entering the room if you are not paying attention. For that reason we did not end up leaving the balcony open even if the sound of waves and palm leaves rustling in the wind was very pleasing. And apologies to the very pregnant momma cat that climbed in our suitcase under the bed and attempted to make a den, there was no need to meow at us every time you walked past just cause we shooed you out of the room. During our stay one of the pools was being completely re-done. You might have come across reviews about damaged wooden decking, well that is all gone. We got lucky that they reopened the pool on our last day, and it looks amazing. A
