The Papillon Lagoon Reef on Diani beach is a reasonably priced all inclusive Hotel. The room we had was a garden room near to the front entrance of the complex, we found this to be clean and tidy. The good thing about the position of the room was that it was far away from the beach bar which can get... more

We loved it here. The staff were friendly, welcoming and couldn't have been more helpful. The ambiance was excellent and as well-travelled individuals we knew what to expect. OK so the re were a lot of hawkers on the beach but they joined in the football match and were OK once you got to know them. Remember they are only... more

just to say that we thoroughly agree with Beverley, east Riding, as we arrived there on the 28th December and had a wonderful repeat visit. The removal of many clients by tour operators who did not wish to fly back into Kenya ( on charters) made it difficult for the Management and staff but even though many of our friends... more

sorry to writea review so late. we are lucky enough to have travelled all over the world in the past ten years since being here so it has probably changed hands. this is the worst hotel i have stayed at, unfortunetly it was our honeymoon. more

We also stayed at the Papillon, for five days in January. I agree 100 % with the review given by Beverley. The Hotel staff were fantastic. We had spent 4 days previously on safari, but we chose the Masai Mara. Rhino Tours were absolutely first class. From the moment we touched down in Kenya, to our departure, we were well... more

We flew to Kenya overnight on 31.12.07, just when the troubles were really starting to make the mainstream news that evening. We went straight on a 3 day/4 night Ambroseli safari, booked before we went with our tour operator. Despite conflicting advice in these forums, it is much more cost effective to book your safari's before you go, you get... more

The hotel is paradise and the surroundings ie beach etc is amazing. Rooms are clean and food is good. You can get a decent cup of tea! The staff were wonderful and we recommend visiting the local nightclub for an experience. We have booked our wedding at this hotel for Sept 2008 and cannot wait to go back and share... more

Spend wonderful time in this hotel for 8 days and satisfied in every way with staff and the food. Hotel blends perfectly with nature, very clean and exotic in its traditional way. It has an unforgettible view over the lagoon and playing in the tidal waves might be real fun. However, the bathroom was old fashioned and the management could... more

Stayed at Papillon after our safari and found this to be a lovely hotel with staff that couldn't do enough to help - wonderful welcome. May have upgraded to a better room, but were only there four four days and didn't spend time in the room anyway. Would definitely rcommend. more
