Service was very poor .Most staff are not friendly . Noticed gate security was very rude and . Mr. Fredrick from swimming pool bar was very professional and warm along with the rest swimming pool bar staff . rooms were not well cleaned during check in and you have to leave the door open to remove the bad odor

Die Anlage ist veraltet. Defekte Liegestühle werden nicht ersetzt. Diverse Sichtbare Mängel werden nicht bereinigt. Hotel Rezeption geht wenig auf Wünsche ein obwohl man extra Zahlen würde. Das Morgenessen und Mittagessen ist leider ein wenig unstrukturiert.

Well, here goes again. !!! Review of trip no 11. It was just the same as all the others trips. Made to feel so welcome once again, by all the staff , from the top down to the new trainees. Not artificial either.!!! It was the usual case of excess of everything, food, drink and sadly , to much sun. Met a lot of old friends from every year, and some new ones from this year. The interaction with the staff is the highlight though, makes me feel very happy. I will really miss all this if I am unable to return next year. Even though it does not worry me at the time, the journey home takes a long time to get over. I am not as young as I was , and even though the spirit is willing, the body is getting weaker. !!!! Anyway, enough of that self pity, the object of this review is "praise." For the wonderful welcome, the good food, great friendship and help for me to put on some excess weight.!!!! I will try to get to, get back , but if I can,t , thank you all for 11 great holidays I have had at my " second home " ,The PAPILLON . Asante Sana. Thank you all. Mick.

All inclusive beach hotel
The food was better than expected, nice pool with no loud music. Right by the beach in the south end. Staff helpful and Even gave us a WiFi booster. Unfortunately it didn’t help so only WiFi in lobby. Monkeys steal your stuff. But good value for money.

OK Experience
I booked a Beachfront Suite which was nice (but first they tried to put me in a regular room). My friends had rooms booked - no A/C, No TV, Damp smell. Service was overall good, some staff were friendly and nice, some were straight up rude & propositioning “friendly” times after entertainment to my female friends. It’s on the beach, but next time will rebook another hotel that i know has a private beach & multiple pools. They have so many signs & rules, but it’s like zoo as they don’t really enforce it so it’s a mess & ruins experience. Food was ok. Not dying to return here. My suite had views of ocean & beach which was the ONLY great part.

The selection of food buffet style was amazing. We had good food for all meals. I am also very grateful to the kitchen staff who ensured that I had gluten free snacks too. The young people in our team had the best time- their favorite being the food, the beach and the swimming pool-including all the free drinks. The rooms had both AC and fan. Rooms were cool and clean. The beds very comfortable. I would recommend having tea kettles in the rooms with some tea/coffee for the guests. The staff were also kind and very friendly-especially, Felix the waiter who served with a great attitude.

This hotel is actually "Value for your money". Not very expensive but offer "All inclusive meals and drinks" at this facility which has nice swimming pool and sea facing hotel means on the beach. Beach is very clean and from the hotel front one can take boat and do various activities like Jet SKI, Boat riding, Fishing on boat, Glass boat tour, Snorkeling etc.
