Papillion Lagoon Reef

OFFICIAL CATEGORY (Ministry of Tourism classification): 4****

The hotel was built in traditional Swahili style, nestling amid exotic gardens and fishponds shaded by ancient baobab trees.

The hotels on this beach nestle in very refreshing tropical surroundings, including ancient baobabs, exotic gardens which go down to the white sand beach.

Excellent meals are served either in the restaurant or in the gardens.
