The room is so nice and very comfortable. The food is well served. I loved the disco time.

Everything was good, but variety of food before was better. It was my the third staying in Pappilon

Fantastic stay with excellent beach access, a large pool, bar areas for adults, and great food (even as a vegetarian, although it could always be better).

Quite an interesting place to visit specially with family / loved ones

The beach was clean and so white. The fun activities- beach volleyball, and badminton were great, especially the staff who came around asking for people to join.

Hotel is right on the ocean. the food was always good, staff friendly and professional.

On the beach which is excellent Neither of the food services disappointed excellent service by all the staff

The breakfast was delicious, the hotel is not far from the airport and local facilities

First we were received so well at the reception, guided on the regulations of the hotel and guided to our rooms. The rooms are super clean, the grounds and pool are too. The food was excellent all the time big up to the team serving and waiters moving around to clear and ask if everything is okay. It's worth the experience, wish we had more time to stay over.

Staff was very friendly Location was perfect Nearby snorkeling on the sandbar Comfortable beds Pretty property
