My wife and I have just returned from a fortnight at the Papillon Lagoon and we are already planning another trip for next year. We have stayed in several Rex hotels before in the Caribbean and this one compares very favourably with them and in our view ranks right up there alongside our favourite, Hawksbill in Antigua. The staff are... more

We have been to other hotels and this is by far the best value in town. The staff are extremely firendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and every day flowers on the bed, but I would recommend up grade if you want a sea view, fridge in your room and air con 24 hours. The food is good but... more

We arrived early november, hot and bothered after a long travel time, delays, and the incredible experience of mombasa and it's ferry midday. As soon as we arrived, we knew we had chosen a good hotel. We were given drinks, checked in smoothly and proceeded straight to our room. Our room was the garden variety, it had everything we needed,... more

I stayed at the Papillion Lagoon Reef for 1 week at the end of October 09. I travelled with my husband and 17 year old daughter. The hotel is clean and well kept, as are the rooms. We stayed in cottage rooms, which are at the top of the hotel grounds. The walk down to the pool, bars, and restaurants... more

Having read the other reviews I feel compelled to warn others about this hotel. From the moment we arrived we were let down. Firstly after travelling nearly 1.5 days due to missed connecting flights we were hungry only to be told that we had missed lunch & would have to wait hours for dinner. Although we were willing to even... more

I researched hard to find this hotel and was not disappointed in the least. It is a nice size not too big - in a lovely setting with superb gardens, great pool and easy access down to the beach. I wanted an African style hotel with mixed nationality clients not all British or German etc. and that was what was... more

I would highly recomend the hotel particualarly if you are an animal lover. There are five primate species living alongside you at this hotel and all get along fine providing you... more
