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.

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've stayed at this hotel as part of our safari & stay in Kenya for 2 weeks in March 2009. Our group was me, my husband, mother and father. W all agree the hotel is clean and confortable. You should go on safari to Tsavo as we did. more
