Papillon Ayscha Resort & Spa

Together with our 12- and 8-year-old children, we spent a week of New Year’s holidays here. We are extremely pleased with the service, the hygiene standards of the establishment, and the quality of the food and drinks. On New Year’s Eve, there was a wide range of entertainment for both children and adults: a gala concert, live music at the Martini Bar, a disco in the nightclub, and a New Year’s celebration with Santa and clowns for kids. The hotel is not too small and very well-designed, making it easy and quick to get from one location to another. Our children could easily navigate on their own to the kids' club, restaurant, beach, and back to our room, which was very convenient for us. The kids' club always had engaging activities, and in the evenings, there was a fun mini disco. The staff at the kids' club were very friendly and attentive to the children. Special thanks to Yulia from Ukraine! She clearly loves her job. Our entire family enjoyed the indoor pool. It was clean, warm, and never overcrowded. The staff were polite, and each day, there was an aqua aerobics class featuring new exercises and equipment, ensuring it never got boring. I also treated myself to a massage by a Balinese therapist at the spa, which was a truly wonderful experience. The body scrub and relaxing massage were delightful, and the prices were quite reasonable. The hammam at the spa was clean and not crowded, and it was possible to use it as a family. The hotel boasts a fantastic, modern gym and a very rich sports program. I attended yoga and full-body workouts, but my husband and I particularly enjoyed the morning stretching sessions with Daniel, the trainer. He was professional and attentive to clients' needs. The main restaurant was spacious and bright, with plenty of waitstaff, fast service, and no queues. The food was diverse and delicious, always offering fresh fish, vegetables, and a variety of healthy and diet-friendly dishes. The selection of drinks was excellent. The dinner on December 31, 2024, was simply outstanding. The pastry chefs created true masterpieces—it was almost a shame to eat those beautifully crafted desserts! We also recommend the à la carte restaurant, Safran, which offers dishes inspired by various regions of Turkey. The interior, tableware, service, presentation, and taste of the food were all top-notch. Our children particularly loved the outdoor heated pool with slides. Luckily, we had sunny weather, and the kids spent over an hour swimming and sliding in the fresh air. Meanwhile, we enjoyed warming up in the beach café, sipping delicious coffee and cocktails. A special thanks to DJ Soner for the music at the Red Party. It was one of the few events without russian music, and we deeply appreciated that. The Red Party stood out as the best of all the musical events—the décor, the show, the fireworks, and the mulled wine were all superb. It was also a pleasant surprise to receive a bottle of good wine and a plate of fruit as a g

Just returned from 8 nights, we absolutely loved this hotel and would visit again. Pros- Food is amazing, lots of choice and we especially liked all the cooking stations outside in the morning and evening. I am a vegetarian and had read that there wasn’t many options but I ate something different everyday. The food is very European so if you are looking for a western diet then this probably isn’t the hotel for you. ( They do have food that the children will eat) The staff in the Ala Carte restaurants are absolutely amazing. Met lots of people from different countries and everyone was so friendly. There were lots of English families too and all the children from different countries played together in the pool and shared each others toys. The hotel is constantly being cleaned. Oktoberfest was on whilst we were there, there was festival set up for everyone to enjoy. My daughter absolutely loved the kids disco every night, it had songs in all different languages. The shows in the evening are great and there is a DJ down by the beach. The beach is great, I especially liked laying on the pontoon in the sea. The manager asked to meet with us at the end of our staff so we could give him feedback of the hotel, we really liked that personal touch. Cons- The rooms are a bit tired but we did stay at the end of the season and when we mentioned this to manager he said they are shutting for a couple of weeks over winter to upgrade the rooms. We arrived in the early hours of the morning and weren’t given much information about the hotel from reception, we found out about most things from other guests. I don’t like to see the amount food that is wasted by some guests filling their table of food and not eating it. The pictures of the children’s pool shows it with 2 slides but these slides aren’t actually in the pool anymore, when we asked about it we were told they were broken and are going to be replaced next year.
