We stayed in a Papillon bungalow back in January and have been meaning to write a review ever since. Jens, Caroline & their staff could not have been more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble, we relaxed within minutes of arriving and were beautifully looked after for the whole of our stay. Our bungalow was great - hammock, big bathroom,... More

Pros. has nice pool and surround and the eating area is nice too. The rooms appeared to be pretty clean and the beds comfotable. Food in restaurant pretty good, coffee good when made by owner. Helpful for info on bookings etc. Its just not worth the money at 900B without any breakfast it just doesn't add up. Could hear everything... More

I stayed here for 6 nights back in November 2011 with 3 friends - sharing 2 bungalows. Papillion it is a small, friendly and cosy resort. Small pool which is good for sunbathing in with a few sunbeds around it to relax the day away. The bungalows are spacious with big bathroom, tv, fridge and dvd player. It's in a... More

Excellent location! Really close to the beach (about 200m walk) and there are a few really nice beach bars right there. It's near the pier, but quiet, got a pool and the food there is very good as well. Owners and help were very friendly. I must admit that the bungalows are old and a little musty....it's not new or...

Thank you for the review, very kind of you. We agree that the bungalows are a bit old and we look forward to lowseason when we are going to fresh up all bungalows with paint and new decoration. We do have regular aircon bungalows for two people and big aircon with place for extrabed. No kitchen. Hope to see you... More

Just returned from two lovely weeks at Papillon and are now suitably relaxed! Owners Jens and Caroline, our friendly Swedish hosts were friendly and considering this is a new venture for them very competent hosts. The bungalows are set in lush tropical gardens - there are only about 8 in total which means that it's not a huge sprawling, faceless... More

We have only spent one night there cause our actual place to stay was already fully booked that night. It's run by a Swedish couple and therefore a bungalow village with European standard. The rooms have everything from a/c to DVD player and the kitchen is great. They also have a pool and free wifi in the restaurant. The prices... More

After travelling for 7 months, on a budget, Papillon Bungalows was an affordable treat. We'd planned to stay 6 nights, but we loved the resort so much we stayed for 11 nights in total, and we still found it difficult to leave! It was the longest and most relaxing place we've stayed in 7 months of travelling. We stayed in... More
