We have just returned from an 11 night stay at Papillon Lagoon Reef booked via Virgin Holidays. We were supposed to fly on Christmas Day but a Kenya Airways aeroplane problem delayed us by 16 hours and we spent Christmas night in the Hilton at T4, Heathrow. Kenya Airways weren't brilliant at their communications at the airport but one of... More

This was my first exposure to a true package holiday resort, and I think I'll know to pass in the future. The hotel itself is lovely with a beautiful swimming pool and grounds. The beach is quite beautiful, too. The monkeys here are very cheeky; one took a banana right out of my hands whilst another jumped on the table... More

After spending 5 days in the Masai Mara my friend and I spent 12 nights at Papillon Lagoon Reef. The rooms, gardens, reception and dining areas are all wonderful and the people who work there are truly wonderful. They are so friendly and love to practise their English with you. It was my 40th Birthday on Christmas Day and I... More

The reception area is impressive with a pond full of fish either side as you walk through. We had a beach front room and enjoyed sunbathing on the lawn between our room and the sea in peace watching... More

I went back to the Papillon on Nov 9th, for 10 days, after being there 2 years previously and can gladly say that it has not changed. Still superb, and the warm greetings from all the staff who remembered me was very endearing. They even changed my room straight away when I just happened to mention it was not as... More

We have recently arrived home from Kenya very very sad... Why? Because we wanted to stay.. We were very apprehenscious about going to the coast of Kenya after all the trouble that had recently been in the news before our trip. However, we never had a thought of cancelling our trip and went in the hope of a good/safe trip..... More
