We have stayed in the lovely village of Agassi half a dozen times over the past few years and will continue to return in the future as it ticks all of our boxes. We divide our visits between all inclusive and B&B, based on price and availability . Our 'go to' all inclusive is awesome , but the price fluctuates and if we use this hotel there is little motivation to leave the premises for the whole holiday as the food and facilities are excellent. On this occasion we decided to go B&B and selected the Papillion based on its Trop advisor ratings and photographs. There was also a significant price advantage over other similar B&B hotels in the same area. OK lets divide this into positives and negative's: Positives: -The rooms are modern and well cleaned with overall good facilities in them. -The wi-fi in the rooms & pool area is excellent and free! (good enough to stream TV from a fire stick) -The overall layout and positioning of the hotel is excellent with good access to the local restaurants and facilities. -The breakfast is excellent with a good hot and cold selection which is regularly topped up and capped off with an excellent toast machine which generates perfect toast in a record time. This is way more than just a continental buffet and is enough to set you up for the day. -The prices for drinks during your stay both for meals and by the pool are competitive with the local restaurants and not overpriced. -The pool area is excellently maintained, cleaned & tidied during the day with food served to your sun lounger if required. -The staff are happy and efficient, all adding to the experience. although the lovely young lady who serves at breakfast and during the day in the bar should smile more. She is quick & efficient but never looks happy (unless her little girl is brought to visit then the smiles are difficult to miss lol) Now to the negatives... Not much to say here, but in order to give balance I shall!! -The aircon is an extra charge as is the safe, both of which are a necessity I feel, but that is more of an annoyance than anything else and is offset by the the initial excellent price. -Storage in the room is poor with no hanging space for long items like dresses and very limited draw space. To summarise... we love this hotel and (almost) everything about it, and will definitely be returning when time allows us.
