Reviews
Although the hotel may not have all the bells and whistles of a more luxurious property, it was still very comfortable and had all the amenities I needed for a pleasant stay. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, with everything I needed to feel at home.
What really stood out to me was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They went above and beyond to make sure I had a great stay and were always available to answer any questions or provide assistance.
The hotel's location was also convenient, with easy access to local restaurants, shops, and attractions and 5 minutes to the beach. The experience I had at Papaya apart hotel was excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
* Poor food quality ( Do not buy All inclusive here, not worth the money)
*Breakfast sucks REALLY hard, sour yoghurt, sweaty sausages and really bad pancakes.
* Bad service
* Mold in hotelroom
* Stray dogs got into the hotel when we had dinner
* The pools bottom is like sandpaper.
