    delicious food
    poor air conditioning
    warm drinks

    Had a sweet as stay, but the aircon was pretty rubbish and the drinks were warm. The food was delish though, especially the BBQ night!

    spacious room
    clean beach
    diverse food options
    limited dessert selection

    Just spent 3 nights at a lovely hotel—rooms were spacious, and the beach was pristine. The food options were diverse, but the dessert selection could use some improvement. I'd definitely come back!

    fun activities
    spacious rooms
    weak wifi

    Great family vibes!

    We spent 3 nights here, and it was a blast! The kids loved the daily activities, especially the beach volleyball and live music. Staff were super friendly, and we got to chill at the bar with tasty cocktails. One thing though, the wifi was pretty weak, which was annoying at times.

    spectacular views

    Recommend it for couples seeking comfort

    The beachfront room provided spectacular views, felt like a little slice of heaven on Earth you know? The staff was always right there when we needed anything, like that one time I needed gluten-free snacks, and they handled it without any fuss.

    It wasn't exactly budget-friendly, but worth the experience overall.

The evening entertainment included lively dance shows and a talented animation team, making every night fun.

    friendly staff
    well-maintained gardens
    safe location

    the papillon had stunning gardens and a lovely pool area. the staff were incredibly friendly and made our family feel welcome, especially the animation team that kept our teens entertained. we enjoyed seeing the impressive baobab tree by the pool and loved the monkeys roaming around. the location felt safe and was close to everything we needed.

    the food options could be improved.

    6.0

    The family room had daily cleaning that kept everything tidy and fresh. With unique entertainment led by the animation team, I found myself singing along during aqua aerobics and enjoying fresh coconuts around 3 PM—a nice touch that added charm to my stay.

    The beachfront rooms might be the highlight, but other rooms felt a bit dated, especially given a lack of a safe and the absence of a shower curtain in some units. I encountered issues like air conditioning glitches and faulty bedside lights that took too long to fix, making the experience less seamless than expected. Dining could be better. the dessert options were pretty bland, leaving much to be desired after meals. while the monkeys roaming around added character, they could be troublesome if you aren’t careful about food around them.
