An Honest Experience at Papillon Zeugma – From a Frequent Traveler Hello, As a frequent traveler, I decided to share my honest and practical opinion about Papillon Zeugma Hotel. If you’re seriously considering staying here, I highly recommend reading this review carefully. Two weeks before our trip, I booked this hotel through ETS Tur for myself, my wife, and our 10-year-old daughter. At the time, the hotel was offering a 48% discount, and the total cost for 4 nights and 5 days in a land view room was approximately 44,000 TL. Friends of ours, based on our recommendation, joined us from another country, and we booked a pool suite for them. Before diving into the hotel details, let me share my past experiences in Antalya. I’ve previously stayed at well-known resorts such as Rixos Premium Belek, Voyage Belek, Limak, and Royal Holiday. So, my feedback here is based on fair comparisons with these top-tier hotels. Arrival Experience: From the moment we arrived, the warm and professional welcome by the staff was energizing. We reached the hotel around 10:00 AM. After the greeting, we were invited to enjoy a full breakfast. As expected from international hotels, they informed us that our room would be ready by 2:00 PM. The breakfast was excellent, and after enjoying it, we returned to the reception around noon to ask about the Wi-Fi. To our delight, we were informed that our rooms were already ready. The luggage of our accompanying group was delivered to the villa via electric vehicles, and as we headed to our room, we discovered that we had been upgraded to a sea view room – a lovely surprise! After a quick shower, we officially started our holiday. Food & Beverages: The variety of food, drinks, desserts, and cafes at this hotel is truly impressive. In fact, during our 5-day stay, we didn’t get the chance to try all the food stations. The à la carte restaurants, which cost only 5 euros per person, offered luxurious and unforgettable dining experiences that were easily worth several times more. The main buffet restaurant surprised us every day with a new selection of meat and seafood dishes. The waitstaff were extremely professional – always nearby, ready to help with a smile. We never heard a “no” or “we don’t have it” — even if something was out, they would find a way to provide it. A Special Moment: One day, I raised my hand to get a soda, and a man in a blue T-shirt approached me faster than anyone else. After a short conversation, I realized he was the restaurant manager. I mentioned we were here to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. He asked for a little time, and then… A few minutes later, he and a group of staff came toward us with a birthday cake and music – it turned into one of the most memorable moments of our entire trip. Entertainment & Activities: While the hotel was smaller in size compared to some of the resorts I’ve stayed at before, the entertainment programs were so diverse and engaging that we didn’t have time to enjoy them al
