"Wonderful hotel - great location and also the facilities are great.
The only issue is when the hotel is full - there are insufficient Beach towels. it doesn't help that most people take more than expected ie 3/4 more per person rather than one per person. We had to wait the whole day to get a clean towel. ( speaking to other guests - they collected their towels @ 7.30am or the night before...) . Would recommend that management bring in a CARD system for beach towels so that everyone has an equal allocation( when it is not full you can revert to the current system. )
Guest relations ( Marcia) is amazing and recommend speaking to her about anything local. She can advise you and help whenever possible.
the biggest positive is the FOOD - it was amazing and the freshest of the cooking was visibly seen.
the bar was quick to respond to drinks orders. the only issue is the amount of paperwork they need as most guests are on All- inclusive yet it was requested that the room number be given every time you ordered a drink. Perhaps management can review this? let the staff see the BANDS to decide which needs food orders or not"
"It was a perfect stay, we loved every bit of it.
Good view, good people, good food, amazing drinks.
Special thanks to Mr.Monaj Shah for making our trip very memorable by offering amazing hospitality."

"Older hotel located directly at the beach. Unfortunately, the restaurant staff lack basic training, the food quality is just average.
The monkeys and birds sometimes help themselves from the guests' plates. Other hotels in a similar situation deal with this annoying problem in a better and more professional way. Basic drinks and ice cubes are often missing. The fridge was missing in the room and the cell phone system didn't work either.
For a so-called four-star hotel with a corresponding price, one can expect a lot more in all respects. than just smiling staff. Unfortunately not to be recommended."
"Yes, there is air conditioning. Breakfast is OK, there are many baobab trees inside.
A little left is the congo river, you can take a boat, it should be beautiful if it is sunny"

"The hotel is very conveniently located on the second line, 5-7 minutes walk to the ocean. The rooms are ordinary, with air conditioning, and thank you for that. Every day monkeys came, you need to remember to close the door to the room. But this is the case everywhere on Diani.
Breakfasts are so-so, in fact, except for fruits there is nothing to eat, maybe only pancakes sometimes.
The pool is warm, relatively clean, at least they clean it every morning."

JJuliaStantonGreat place to stay offering good value for money with self-catering facilities. Breakfast and other meals also available. Although the place is a little worn, it has great charm. The swimming pool was lovely. Excellent location not far from beach and supermarkets
GGuest UserGreat location just in front of the Tandoori club
Very cozy, but not big, territory and nice beach
Not far from the airport
But the hotel needs the renovation
All inclusive system fits travellers who prefer stay on the beach during the day and have an excess to food and drink
Also in the evening you can go to the luxurious restaurants to taste new dishes, it takes 10 min to get there by slow walk
GGuest UserThe breakfast variety is too small, two points can be checked in, waiting for the stay, the waiter will not provide free drinking water. Service attitude is general, not as good as treating white people warmly.
AAnonymous UserI have stayed in this hotel many times and highly recommend it. The environment, hygiene and facilities are all first-class. Most of the staff provide very good service. This bad review is because the hotel did not find the order for one of the three rooms I booked in the system, even though I had shown them my order. A front desk staff even asked to see my payment record. In the end, the hotel finally found all the orders in the system. Because of the hotel's mistake, I had a very unpleasant experience on this trip. I feel that it is very rude for the hotel staff to check my payment record when I have already shown the order. I hope the hotel room will apologize.
GGuest UserEverything is fine, cleanliness at a high level (only the pool could be cleaner) Tasty food, great option with afternoon tea/coffee. On the beach there are security guards who make sure that the Beach Boy does not come too close. Opposite the hotel there is a small shop with drinks and alcohol and a Chinese restaurant. Nearby there is a hospital. About 1.5 km to a larger market.
AAmyLCThis is our 4th visit to Papillon. The staff are amazing here. The animation team have such energy, the water aerobics is like nothing else. Everyone is always busy working, from the gardeners to the housekeepers to the pool attendants. Joseph and Raphael on the bar were excellent as always. Abdullah the pool attendant is always on hand with towels and keeps the pool clean. The rooms are always kept super clean with fresh linen and bottled water daily. The rooms now have a fridge and kettle (but you need your own teabags etc). The food and drink is great, lots of choices. The beach is stunning with pure white sand. Love this hotel and recommend to others
KKIKOohuoThe room facilities are old and the toilet is easily clogged. The swimming pool is not very clean. The advantages are that the beach is wide and beautiful, the price is cheap, and the cost performance is very high. The beach is full of crabs at night.
