Hotel ratings by criteria:
Very high quality hotel (excluding self-supporting departments).
A clean, well-groomed and landscaped area allows you to comfortably move barefoot everywhere except the beach (very hot) and the main restaurant. The beach at the hotel is the most gentle, wide, fine sand and expensively maintained of all that I have seen in Turkey.

We were very lucky with our accommodation. The windows overlooked the wasteland behind the hotel and we did not run into nose-to-nose neighbors. The room was also spacious, consisting of one and a half rooms and a balcony. Air conditioning, carpet, fridge with cola and beer, safe, TV with 2 English (BBC World and BBC Prime) and 9 German channels, mirror, ashtray, glasses, etc. etc.

I suppose that such accommodation is the merit of the travel agency, since other tourists, in my opinion, were less fortunate.

The main restaurant has a laconic assortment of meat dishes, but there are a lot of fruits, desserts and ice cream.

Also a wide selection of "extra" dishes (which are prepared in front of the public). Thus, I always wanted to eat more than my body allowed.

Ice cream and fruit (ripe and not hard as in other hotels) and baked potatoes are regularly featured at the pool bar in the afternoons.

Very good restaurant on the beach. Grilled chicken for lunch
and all spare parts for hot dogs, hamburgers and pasta (pasta) are provided.
The abundance of french fries and beer or rakla (beer with sprite) make this restaurant a ranger's dream and it is impossible to break through there at lunchtime.

So smoothly we move on to the negative sides of the hotel. The first is the lack of space for trestle beds by the pool, leading to an unhealthy reservation of trestle beds and conflicts between Russians and Germans. A very large number of people who want to participate in animation games (activities) create wild queues there.
In half an hour you will make only one game attempt out of two. Thus, not only the most capable, but also the most patient win (victory).

Both problems could be solved by the demolition of the building closest to the pool. Would add a place by the pool and reduce the number of guests.

The fitness center does not have a treadmill. More precisely, the unit stands and takes up space, but it is not turned on. They say that it is unhealthy and it is better to run outside. Apparently, the administration cannot control this situation, because for the management the track is always in good order.

Before our departure (08-Jul), German teenagers flooded the sauna stove with water and burned 3 of the four coils. So maybe they don't even have a sauna now.

The pool at the water slides "dries up" in the afternoon. This is doubly disappointing, as the specified pool is the warmest in the hotel. The problem is solved by the demolition of the mentioned building in front of the pool.

The hotel does not have water sports, and the free canoe declared in the catalogs is a clever substitution of concepts. On the beach, at the junctions of the boundaries of the hotels, there are rental equipment and boats. They have their own business and the hotel has no influence on them. The price of services is about 30% higher than the prices of the Spanish coast and 3-4 times the prices of Thailand. Each distributor carefully catches all the guests of the hotel closest to him.

The guests of Papillon Muna are spudded by Vadim, who is very reminiscent of a taxi driver at the airport. He preaches that it is easy to part with your money. The one who breaks up hard - there will be no discounts, and the one who does not break up at all - a second-class person. Such a guest does not shine either canoe, or "hello", nothing friendly.

Thus, the canoe will be free only for those who have invested in Vadim's business. The rest of the canoes are provided for 5USD per hour. The money invested in the ticket does not count.
Compared to Washington Resort (W) and WOW Kremlin (K), Papillon Muna (M) is in the middle. The only thing that doesn't fit into the general scale is the Washington-2004 animation team, which was simply out of competition. Here are the ratings for the three hotels:

The beach and everything on it M-K-W
Animation - show and partying W-K-M
Animation - games and equipment K-M-W
Dining room K-M-W
Disco - Hall M-K-W
Disco - holding W-K-M
Pool and water slides K-M-W
Gym K-W-M
Table tennis M-K-W
M-K-W rooms
Hall K-W-M

As you can see, Papillon Muna has a big disco problem. She is boring. Nobody leads this disco, besides there are only 4-5 decent songs, the rest is dregs. Although the disco has great potential: a comfortable and cozy hall with excellent light, a well-tuned sound (Kremlin had problems with sound), a wide selection of drinks...

Teenagers, who make up the bulk of the disco's visitors, are of particular concern. A teenager club is organized for them, i. e.
all animation activities for them are held separately from adults (at other times). Thus, for teenagers, there is no problem of queues in games.

But another problem appears - teenagers cannot participate in games with their parents or brothers and sisters who are over 17 years old.

And the last thing: mini-golf is the name of the activity. There are no minigolf courses and the specified sport in the hotel as a class.


The conclusions are as follows: Papillon Muna is a very high quality hotel, recommended for holidays with children and parties from 13 to 16 years old. If you choose from several hotels of comparable quality and compare the range of entertainment - then
remember that the entertainment in Papillon Muna is advertised to a greater extent than you can actually use it.
