“Will you be “Happy at the Papi””

I will give an honest review of the hotel. For the price, it’s fine.

I will give an honest review of the hotel. For the price, it’s fine. We stayed at the 4 star Hotel Papi Blau which incidentally uses the same reception, restaurant and pool area as the 3 star Hotel Papi but has better rooms we were told. Reception and communal areas are clean, check was fairly easy, one nice receptionist, one not so. Went to room on 4th floor, key would not work so back to reception for that to be sorted. Fusty smell in room and no electricity, back to reception yet again. No other room available but was promised cleaner to check out the smell, never came. Safe was 5 euros per night but did not work so guess what, back to reception for refund on safe payment!! By booking direct we became members of the Papi family but still had to ask for our welcome cocktail which was a drink token to use at the bar, this should be given upon check in and should not face to be asked for. We also had to ask four times for the late check out also advertised for Papi members and were told there was still a charge of 20 euros. Luckily the young blond girl did sort this for us. Air con in room worked to a degree but didn’t really cool the room despite making the right noises. Bathroom looked new and great shower however heavily stained toilet seat underneath. Towels changed daily and room serviced. Pillows like rocks. Breakfast was edible, nothing special but very busy some mornings. Tables very close together and queues to get in Bar area is good and drinks/food reasonably priced. Bar staff good especially Anna and Edgar who were a pleasure to speak to, the management should be proud of them. Pool kept clean and although I didn’t witness them many people spoke of the sunbed wars at 9am once the doors were opened. Lifeguard present around the pool. Entertainment team good with a variety of activities ongoing, pool inflatable, foam party, face painting and bingo to name a few. Location good, near the beach with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby All in all, for the price it was fine. It’s certainly not 4 star but the basic needs are covered, bed, shower and breakfast.
