First the good: the location is fantastic on its own stretch of beautiful beach. The bungalows on the beach front are comfortable, the showers worked well and they were clean. I'm afraid the rest of the resort was a major disappointment. Service was unfriendly, food was some of the worst we had in Benin. It also had a very strange... More

Errrmm... I would say that this is the best hotel in Benin (ok, maybe there is something posh Cotonou, I don't know), but I'd say that it's the best compared to other Benin places and there is not much choice of this type of accommodation in Benin anyway, so it is really difficult to determine its relative value as there...

Went to Casa del Papa early 2011 for a conference, and was impressed by the standard and service. Fast forward 2 years and sad to see that the service level has seriously degraded. Went for a long weekend with my family and, starting with a rude welcome at the reception, the service remained sub-standard for the duration of our stay.... More

In Benin the most confortable Hotel we tried. It's very close to the ocean, directly on the beach! Very close to the "slaves door". Also the food is very very good, especially fish! Cleanliness of bedrooms on the average....

After 28 days wandering in Burkina Faso, Togo and Benin we arrived in La Casa del Papa. What a welcome surprise. We stayed in room 4 a beachfront bungalow. The rooms are not large but well appointed in a beach cottage style. The AC works beautfully and the bar is fully stocked with Vodka, ice and diet coke ( all... More

This is a long overdue review of our stay in Casa del Papa in August 2012. We initially booked a chambre privilege doube. On arrival, we were given room 103. My fiancée immediately recalled the negative reviews this room got on Trip Advisor but I thought we should at least have a look at it first…that said, avoid Room 103!... More

Just came back last evening from Benin. This is a beautiful resort with all the facilities you may be looking for. We stayed for 2 nights there and enjoyed a lot. They have three swimming pools out of which one is for toddlers in case you r traveling with one. It's a best place to visit with family as a... More

This is my second time at Casa del Papa. The first time I was underwhelmed. I stayed in the cheapest room, over on the lagoon side. It was small and minimalist. It felt a bit like camping. Attention to detail was seriously lacking. The mini shampoo bottles in our room were clearly recycled from visit to visit, for instance; they... More

First of all just the drive there is beautiful. You drive through the cute village and along a beautiful stretch of beach to finally arrive at what seems like paradise until you actually want something. We had planned to stay here but it is very hard to get a booking especially since it was a 3 day weekend and we... More

We stayed in the "privilege double," which turned out to be wonderful! We had a bungalow all by ourselves with a nice front porch facing the ocean! Very relaxing! The room is nice and clean. The ground is well kept. We loved to walk over to the lagoon side and sit in the lounge in the middle of the lagoon!... More
