Costa Calma Vacations from $396

More of a variety in food selection

Beautiful grounds and ocean view.

The hotel is good if you are German. Would be nice that when you go in to book it in the hotel website or any other website that explain that is for German tourists as everything is written in german including the main staff is German or Austrians. We were looking for a Spanish speaking staff and cuisine more Spanish as well.

Just home from a fortnight all inclusive holiday at this hotel. We have stayed in neighbouring hotels so are familiar with the area. Compared to neighbouring hotels, we found the Pajara Beach hotel to be very clean and well run. Gardens and pool area were immaculate. Multiple signs stated that reserving sunbeds was forbidden but it was standard practice with many guests (I won't mention nationality) to peg out their towels before breakfast and expect to keep a lounger by the pool all day. Staff were very pleasant and helpful although sometimes, in the dining room, they were "run off their feet". Reception staff were superb. We stayed in a Royal Suite with a huge southwest facing balcony - a super place for relaxing and entertaining friends. Some of the bedroom furniture is a bit tired but remains comfortable. We judged the selection and quality of food to be better than neighbouring hotels. There was also more outside seating in the restaurant area. Our only disappointment was the quality of some drinks - the all inclusive deal only includes a limited range of cocktails which are machine blended. House Cava was quite drinkable. Beer was fine though only served in 25cl glasses. Recommended and excellent value for money.

The regular hotel rooms are dated but functional, I can’t speak for the rooms exclusive to Priviledge Members. The hotel could do with an overall lifecycle facelift. That being said, the layout, outdoor facilities and the design of the building is beautiful and the staff/service were excellent, very thoughtful, friendly and welcoming. We had half board and only ate in the betancuria where food was 7/10 with some good variety. We did see cockroaches here and there but I guess that’s due to the climate more than anything. I would go again, 4/5.
