Papillon Belvil Holiday Village and Hotel

We were very happy with the kids’ club and the hotel restaurant! A special thank you to the kids’ club animators — Lola, Beka, and Sonya. They were wonderful with the children: friendly, attentive, caring, and always ready to make the activities fun and enjoyable. Our child had a fantastic time and was always excited to go back to the kids’ club. We truly appreciate their kindness and energy! The restaurant also left a very positive impression. There is a great variety of food, everything was delicious and fresh, and the service was attentive and friendly. It is especially convenient for families with children, as you can enjoy a meal together in a relaxed atmosphere. Overall, the hotel is a great choice for a family holiday. Thank you to the whole team, and especially Lola, Beka, and Sonya, for making our stay so enjoyable and memorable!

100% guaranteed. This is the third year in a row and this hotel, this team continues to exceed all expectations. Service 10/10 Food 10/10 Entertainment 10/10 Hygiene and cleanliness 10/10 Location 10/10 Activities 10/10 This heart of this hotel is the people. I want to thank every single individual for their kind, caring genuine love that they all offer every single person. Their efforts go beyond what is expected.

Our third year in a row doing Turkey 5* all inclusive as a family of 4, so I'll write this review compared to where we stayed previously ( Barut Hemera & Kirman Leodikya). Pros: * No sunbed wars! Even at 10.30 there were loads left to choose from, never had this before - a huge positive! * The staff were brilliant! The animation team were great at getting people involved, but weren't pushy. They worked so hard from morning till late. Can't remember all the names but Rio was great, and Nikita's dancing was infectious. * The kids club was 10/10. Much bigger than we'd experienced previously, so much going on all day & night for all ages, lots of choice for each type of personality. One of the highlights for my girls (5 & 9) was the kids quest, really fun! Had read before we went that not all the staff speak English, but that isn't true at all. There weren't many English kids in the club when my girls went but they still loved it. Anna & the team are excellent, and Rami who walks around with a positive energy is an asset to the team. Thank you all! * The kids carnival (Wednesdays) was exceptional! We knew it took place, but it was way better than we expected. I won't say much as don't want to ruin it, but wow! * The evening entertainment was good, especially 'Wonderland'. We were there for 9 nights so also had a white party, a red party & a boho party. They really make an effort with the themed decorations, and DJ Emre Mirza was great. My kids have asked for his songs on a playlist (shazam them when you're there, especially the Papilon Belvil song!) * Foam party (Thursday's at 12pm) was fun. My apple watch said 'it looks like you're doing an indoor run, do you want to record it' because I was obviously dancing so much! * The slides were really good, we spent hours & hours each day on them. Rules say age 10+ but my 5 year old went on them all. The lifeguards are really 'on it' making sure everyone follows the rules, a lot of whistle blowing when people don't swim away quickly enough, etc. They were all so friendly too, shout out to Samet who my girls took a shine to & were sad to say goodbye to. The slides were open 10-12 (like previous hotels we'd been to) but the afternoon was much longer 2pm - 6pm. Another big perk! * The spa guys & photo guys who walk around aren't pushy at all, another positive compared to previous hotels we'd been to. We loved chatting about football with Bob. * Adults pool was SO relaxing! Very quiet being a hotel mainly full of people with kids (we went August summer holidays), but if your kids go in kids club I'd strongly recommend. * Getting drinks was never a problem in the buffet restaurant, especially if you picked a table in a less chaotic area. Emine was very attentive. * The alacarte's are only €10pp & so worth it. Really good food & service, especially Kanji, followed by Mirage. * The burgers, pizzas & jacket potatoes were REALLY good. You don't always want something so heavy/hot in the summer, but the salads are great in the buffet or poolside bar. * The Indian food in the buffet restaurant was authentic & tasty. I forgot to get the chef's name, but his food was a highlight! * Selection of bottled beers available (Efes, Bud, Heineken & Bomonti) & not decanted into a plastic/cardboard cup, another big plus! * The cocktail menu on the bar is limited but the bar staff could make most things even if not on there. I thoroughly enjoyed an espresso martini each day after lunch :) * The pier is beautiful, especially later on when it's quiet & the sun sets. Jumping off the end will forever be a core memory for our family. We got some lovely photos too. * Room in main hotel was spacious, modern & clean. Could hear some noise from our neighbours a couple of times but we were ground floor close to the lobby & main reception & we didn't hear any noise from there, which was a relief. * Air con was powerful & room was cool all night even without it turned on. * Land of legends only a 7 minute cab ride away. We got from hotel for €20 then realised we could've used UBER for €7. Managed to get a taxi back from outside land of legends quickly even at 11pm. Cons: * Buffet restaurant was repetitive. We missed the big themed nights we'd experienced at previous hotels. * Cocktails were hit & miss depending on who made them. Some were really good, other times not great. Mojito I had twice & both times was bad. Pina colada I had 4 times & only 1 was good. * Sometimes took a while to be served at poolside bar, but mainly because some people think it's ok to push in. The staff work very hard, but it'd be good if they had a bit of an awareness of who was next, to ease the tension when people push in. * Couldn't get everything via QR code, just the small cocktail selection. A shame, as previous hotels you could get everything & there were a lot more rollerskaters. * Single-use plastic water bottles are provided in fridges you help yourself to. And whilst I appreciated not having to wait at a bar for water, it did concern me that the majority of these bottles are not being recycled. There are some recycling bins dotted around, but around the pools & beach it's 1 bin per sunbed & the cleaners were just emptying them into 1 big black bin bag. Previous hotels had water & ice stations to help reduce plastic waste. These are small negatives just to make the review honest. We all loved our stay & wouldn't hesitate to return. Thank you all :)

Brilliant hotel. Good and facilities amazing. Brilliant staff especially our number 1 bar man Necati. Our 6 time there and continues to improve . Brilliant place for value and quality. Entertainment team also so good at keeping everyone entertained and ensuring there is always something going on !

Papillon Belvil is, without a doubt, the best 5-star resort we have stayed at so far. This is a hotel that truly deserves its five stars and genuinely understands what hospitality and comfort mean. I honestly cannot find even the smallest thing to complain about. Everything has been perfect from the moment we arrived. We were welcomed by an incredibly kind lady who took the time to explain the resort to us, show us where everything was and make sure we had all the information we needed. As we were travelling with two young children, we asked if it would be possible to have a room in a quieter area of the resort. Our request was accommodated immediately and without any difficulty, and the location of our room turned out to be absolutely perfect for our family. The room itself is spacious and very comfortable. We are a family of four and have had more than enough space. Housekeeping is excellent, with the room cleaned twice a day, and the minibar is restocked every single day — and when I say restocked, I mean FULL! You barely have time to finish anything before it is filled again. 😄 The food deserves a special mention because it is truly exceptional. There is an incredible variety and something for every taste: beautifully cooked dishes and sauces, grilled meats, absolutely delicious lamb, fresh salads, plenty of side dishes and a huge selection of desserts. Everything we have tried has been fresh and very tasty. The table service is just as impressive. The staff are attentive, friendly and genuinely happy to help. Someone is always nearby asking whether you would like more water, another glass of wine or anything else. Most importantly, you never feel as though you are bothering them — quite the opposite. Their attitude makes you feel very welcome. The wine is also very good; I especially recommend the white wine. For families with children, this resort is outstanding. The entertainment team is fantastic — energetic, funny and always creating a wonderful atmosphere. Poppy Kids Club is absolutely amazing. There are so many activities for children, including their own cinema, a LEGO room and plenty of entertainment throughout the day. Our children have had an incredible time here. And then there is the Wednesday carnival… WOW! It was absolutely fantastic. The children loved it, but honestly, so did we! We laughed, played and enjoyed ourselves so much that at one point we felt like children again. It was one of those evenings that becomes a real family memory. What impressed me most about Papillon Belvil is that they don’t simply advertise themselves as a 5-star resort — they actually deliver a true 5-star experience. From the cleanliness and food to the service, staff, children’s facilities and entertainment, everything feels carefully organised around making guests comfortable and happy. We came here as a family with two children and we couldn’t have made a better choice. Papillon Belvil has definitely raised the standard for our future holidays. We would return without hesitation. 10/10!
