Papaya Club

Full disclosure: I came with a friend who works at Hilton headquarters so I got all the following food items 50% off. We sat by the lagoon, which is beautiful and ordered food and drinks from the menu and they were brought to us, so this was a very pleasant and relaxing experience. Our server Carmen went above and beyond and brought us an ice bucket to cool down the drinks we even brought in. For starters we had the Asian Hummus, which was a very fun twist to the typical Mediterranean spices and I loved it. We also had the calamari and fried okra. The sauce was really good. Finally I had the papaya burger, and for a beach bar I did not have high hopes but it was actually really taste and done medium rare how I like it. We were also given complimentary scented towels and frozen grapes! I was impressed overall with the food and would come again.

Well next time I come to the Conrad you definitely find me in the club. The Papaya Club that is! What a great spot located right under the beautiful Conrad, Over looking the huge lagoon/ pool. The spot is low lit and with some good weather it is a great date spot. Starter: to start of the night we got some octopus, this was a grilled dish with some sauce the octopus was cooked perfectly not chewy at all. We also got some crudo (ceviche) this was the fish of the day ( can't remember what it was) with a some coconut milk and Serrano peppers. This was so refreshing with some great spice, this was my star starter. Lastly some shrimp toast and the spring roll these I put together because we did send the spring roll back not because it was bad but because we did like the shrimp toast better. Was fried toast with Shrimp. You have to see the picture to know what I am talking about only hint I can give is take it easy on the cilantro next time that was a BUNCH OR SHOULD I SAY BUSH. MAIN: For our main we did get the papaya burger that was yum yum gota get you some. It was very well cooked and the toppings all came together so well. The sandwich I also did enjoy a lot but I would have wanted some more meat. Unless my wife took some out without me looking. The bred was toasted and the meat was nice and juicy the toppings were fresh and the amount was just right. Service: This they get an A++ I am horrible with names so I can't shout out anyone but all I know if they all looked the same. It was awesome. They had great recommendations and they were very friendly. It was cool talking to them. Highly recommended!!

We stayed at the Conrad Orlando, which is a five star Hilton resort with a variety of different dining options. The papaya club is an indoor/outdoor poolside restaurant with a tiki bar inspired menu and a variety of food options, including Asian inspired cuisine. First, we truly enjoyed our cocktails, a mai tai and a Negroni. The mai tai was sweet, but not overly so, and refreshing with fresh mint, the Negroni was certainly more spirit forward as I had hoped it would be and served with a block of ice cube which I also appreciated for that extra touch. The presentation of the drinks was spectacular. The the menu also had several spirit free options, which looked equally delicious. We then perused the manual and instantly opted for the bahn mi, one of our favorite sandwiches, and a pork belly Ramen that I asked to be made extra spicy. First of all the Ramen was incredible and the noodles were Al dente and tasted homemade. The pork belly was perfectly juicy and crunchy, and there was an assortment of vegetables and mushrooms. The spice hit the spot. The bahn mi sandwich was crunchy, with freshly topped vegetables and delicious shaved ribeye steak. The fried tasted just like the ones from McDonald's! Overall, the food was totally worth it. The one drawback is that the entrée items range from $25-$30 which is not a surprise as this is a resort and prices are bound to be a bit higher, I still felt like it was worth the money. Of note, the finalBill includes a 18% service fee even for smaller tables of 2, so make sure to account for that!

A great vibe for lunch or dinner!! They had tables right in the sand for a more relaxed beach vibe, or tables in their gorgeous tropical space. I felt like I was in Hawaii.The poke bowl was fresh and yummy and I did ask for a side of spicy mayo which they had!The Thai steak salad was delicious I loved it and would get both again!They had a really nice cocktail menu as well with photos of the drinks and nice descriptions. A great place to dine!

This location is set on a beautiful resort. The presentation of the drinks were as unique as they were tasty. The service was excellent and fast considering the size of our party. The only downside was the mosquitos. They were terrible! I would definitely recommend but be sure to take the mosquito problem into consideration if you are sensitive.

Recently attended a conference at the Conrad Orlando. Found ourselves at the papaya club three different times for lunch. I was able to try multiple menu items and enjoyed all of them. The burger was one of the standouts. Everything was fresh and delicious. They had some absolutely french fries.

We enjoyed their Alaula experience last night, which is an intimate beachside dining experience with a set menu. Dinner includes a tiki drink, appetizers, their pu pu platter for two and a dessert. Highly recommend it!

We popped into this restaurant to escape the rain from the lagoon and grab a bite for lunch. The drinks were pretty and delicious... made for a pretty picture, not too strong. The Brioche Buns were phenomenal! The bread was light and fluffy with a ginger sauce on top, crispy pork belly, and fresh veggies / herbs which balanced the heaviness of the pork. We sat at the couches on the outer edge so we were able to watch the lagoon also. Staff was very friendly and only a slight wait.

Papaya Club is hitting it out of the park with the perfect marriage of setting, food, drinks and overall service. This open air location boasts the most immersive experience in the Conrad Hotel. Set on the white beaches and poised for beautiful sunsets - we were very comfortable sitting back at our table taking it all in. The menu, both cocktails and food pair perfectly with this setting. We ordered five dishes, and each one was a pleasant surprise - bursts of vibrant, FRESH flavors that we each simply had to share just to show how our dish HAD to be the best one at the table.Our service was lovely, with team service we felt well cared for including offering us blankets when the air became nippy as the evening turned.Our only disappointment was the valet, as mentioned by another reviewer. We actually had a higher tab (due to a larger party) at Papaya Club than we did at Ceiba, yet they charge for parking at Papaya Club. This is NOT the fault of the restaurant and shouldn't deter you from going - but The Conrad is selling this location short by presenting it as less than Sophia or Ceiba. We were charged $10. plus tip for valet - note there is no other option for parking.I absolutely look forward to returning to Conrad and bringing friends to the Papaya Club. It oozes all those amazing Florida vibes you hope to catch when traveling here.I have to add, that wherever they are sourcing their produce - NEVER stop! The robust freshness and mouth-filling, aromatic flavors were beyond notable. It isnt often that you go to a restaurant and come away wishing you got to meet the farmer!

Food- Worst tuna sandwich ever. Tastes funky... was definitely not fresh Chicken tenders tasted like something you would buy from the freezer section of a grocery store....nothing special.Service- was there the afternoon of March 31st. The hostess handed us menus after we asked for a table. then we repeated ourselves and said that we had asked for a table, and she gave us attitude. no one greeted us or asked us for water for at least 20 minutes while sitting at a table. worst customer service.Ambience- waterside chill...definitely not the cleanest place.I didn't even have the breath to ask for a manager to discuss my concerns with the rudest hostess and the awful food, we just wanted to leave.Avoid this place if you are looking for a good meal and/or service.
