“This resort struck me as a smart choice for those wanting to be near Chaweng's action without being in the thick of it. The Lana-Thai bungalows offer both privacy and a taste of local style, and I think the seaside dining with its exceptional views is a real draw. It's a place where you can easily balance exploring the island's nightlife with serene beachfront relaxation.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Papillon Resort offers a rustic and laid-back atmosphere in a quiet location, a short ride away from the downtown area. Guests enjoy spacious apartments with private patios, comfortable beds, and convenient amenities like free access to the pool table. The swimming pool is a highlight, and the resort provides an amazing sea view, though some guests have noted the beach isn't ideal for swimming directly in front of the property at all times. Breakfast is well-organized, and many appreciate being within easy reach of restaurants and shops.

The pool was acceptable for a quick dip after a day exploring.

The room was quite disappointing. The shower temperature was erratic, switching between hot and cold without warning. the towels were thin and felt rough, it wasn't a great experience to use them after showering. This small detail affected the overall quality of the stay, I expected better.
