Séjour papi ascension

Chambre avec deux lits d’une personne réservé et elle nous a donné une chambre avec un grand lit, mais le problème a vite été résolu et nous avez eu une chambre un peu plus grande. C’était assez calme, car ça ne donnait pas sur la rue. Viennoiseries du petit déjeuner à éviter. Sinon l’ensemble est assez correct. Petit bémol pour la salle de bain toilette qui est un peu petite et très compliqué à circuler à l’intérieur.

Ok for a 1 night stay.

The rooms are small and outdated. They offer little to no comp toiletries. The beds are small and uncomfortable. Our door was not accepting any cards to open with so we had to be escorted upstairs every time with an employee, don’t see why they couldn’t put us in a different room. The downstairs bar area was lovely. On the 1 night we were there, they had entertainment with Portuguese dancers and everyone joined in. The breakfast is cheap. Low quality servings but it matched the rest of the hotel.

Hotel très sympathique et très bien placé niveaux commerces et restaurants en bas de l hotel sejour pour le pont du 8 mai 2024. Chambre pour 2 personnes adultes avec balcon et vue mixe bâtiments / mer Parking a 18 € par jour et de préférence a réserver d'avance. Parkings en terre a proximité mais gare au carteur car pentue et déformation par la pluie Revisite en deco mais pas la salle de bain . Dans son jus des années 80.(carrelages.) Literies extra confortable. En demi-pension repas variés tout les jours. La bouteille de vin compté environ 11€ ( le méditerranée) La piscine est jolie mais trop petite par rapport aux nombreuses chambres. Je ne parle mêmes pas des transats pris d assauts le matin . Même si le pannaux réservation interdites. Heureusement la plage est vraiment a 200 mètres. Et tres spacieuse. Beaucoup de paillotes a proximité Marché en semaine super prix . Voir sur Google pour le jour . Meteo clémente en mai (23*)mais pas pour la baignades (Bronzage assuré) Le centre-ville est a visité car très agréables zone piétonne. Je vous conseille malgrat de mar beaucoup moins cher que santa suzanna qui en fait les sépare que de 1 klm environ Une promenade vous amenes d'un site a l'autre a un clin d'œil et a moitié prix. Bon sejour en espérant qu'il soit aussi agréable que le notre.

Recomendable

Todo estupendo. Servicio muy amable, instalaciones de la piscina en buenas condiciones, habitaciones limpias y con camas cómodas. En general el hotel está limpio y el buffet es adecuado y variado. Lo único negativo es que los desagües de las habitaciones a veces desprenden un olor desagradable, deberían mejorar ese detalle.

Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub. Alle sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das einzige was nicht gut funktioniert hat war das Wasser. Es war am Anfang immer sehr heiß und man musste es immer ein paar Minuten laufen lassen, bevor man duschen konnte.Ich bin aber überzeugt, dass das Problem noch behoben wird. Vielen Dank an das das ganze Team.

I loved staying at hotel Papi. The food was great, the staff was amazing, and the pool was nice too! Andrea from the kids club was the best at engaging at entertaining my little one and at animating and hyping up everyone including adults in the night time activities. The dining staff also treated my son and my family so well he felts like a prince. Especially Noelia and Luis in the dinning we’re extra kind! Completely recommend!

Muy mala experiencia

Mi experiencia en este hotel fue muy mala . Solo el primer dia ya estaba arrempentida de haberlo cojido. No lo recomiendo ni a mi peor enemigo. Lo primero es que pagas por la pencion completa y cuando vas a comer te cobran hasta el agua. . La opcion de comida es poco variable. Siempre tienen lo mismo. En la cena igual. El personal que esta en el area comida cena (no todos)son muy antipaticos. Primer hotel que visito que para darte las toallas dela pcina tienes que dejar un deposito de 10€ por toalla. Te cobran por todo. Y digo por todo porque hasta por la nevera que esta en la habitacion te cobra 3€. Un desastre....
