Small resort with wonderful staff”
Papillon Bungalows was a great place to stay for our 5 days in Koh Lanta, The beach is 200 meters away a short 5 minute walk. There is a path at the back of the resort that takes you directly to the beach. The only downside to this resort is that there is no beach club. You will need to lay on your towel on the sand or rent chairs for 300 baht per person. They will give you discount if you rent two chairs - 500 baht. There are great restaurants on the beach as well as the resort has a great restaurant. If you plan is to spent down on the beach this is a great place. The tuk tuk to old town and to the pier is an easy drive. We went to the pier as there is a night market and great restaurants. The tuk tuk drive is around 100 baht or so and we did this a couple of times as it is great evening out after spending the day at the beach. The resort has a tuk tuk - if there are not able to take you to where you need to go they will flag on down for you. Don't hesitate to stay here!

Amazing staff”
We stayed at papillon for three nights and really enjoyed our time! The location is 5min walk from an amazing beach - the Long beach. The rooms were clean and nice. The staff was amazing - helped with pointing us to local beaches, preparing us early breakfast etc. Very, very friendly and helpful. The thing we liked the most was the food - the breakfasts were just delicious and the menu as well. The pool looked nice but didnt had the chance to use it. Would really recommend.

Our Stay in Koh Lanta”
Papillon Bungalows exceeded our expectations! The pool, bungalows, and overall facilities were very clean. It was so nice to be able to relax in the pool or on the front patio after a long day at the beach. We had dinner at Papillon Bungalows twice and it was really good both times. It was also fun being able to eat dinner in one of the open bungalows in the dining area. Papillon Bungalows is only a short walk to the beach and the restaurant on the beach was pretty good too. We enjoyed having a sunset cocktail at the beach bar which is only a short walk from the bungalows. They also had motorbikes for rent and it was very cheap and so much fun to explore the island! The staff was always so friendly too! We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely quiet resort ”
Lovely resort on quiet part of long beach. Loved the bar on the beachfront with the chilled music and gorgeous sunsets. Pool small but good to cool you down. Beach a little bit further away than I would have liked but that’s just me being lazy. Lovely friendly staff and especially lovely guy doing all the grounds maintenance. Very chatty and friendly.

Amazing value, great location and wonderful staff. ”
We had a wonderful time staying here. Breakfast was freshly made each morning and the bungalow is only a short 200m walk directly to long beach and lots of nice restaurants. Staff were exceptional and help made our stay enjoyable.

Exceptional”
Nice bungalow in lovely setting. Ten minute walk to the beach. All the staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly. The food at the restaurant is superb. Had the same meals at other places but none have been as nice.. The pool is very nice and clean as is the whole complex. Only moved to another beach for a change of location. Would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing stay with mega friendly staff”
Made to feel welcome from the second we arrived. Staff do go that ‘extra bit’ to ensure you enjoy your stay. Clean, pleasant and spacious rooms (with good A/C) Nice nice pool, great food and only 200m from decent beach. Would have stayed longer if we could. Definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at Papillon! The food was excellent, the staff were super warm, friendly, and helpful, and the bungalows were perfect for our needs. The gardens and pool were also great for children. We will return!

Great Place!”
Fantastically friendly and helpful staff, especially the manager Aing, her assistant Haa, and Kine the ever-smiling and solicitous factotum. Great place for children with a friendly little pool, pleasant lawns and easy access to a great beach. The real surprise, though, is the excellence of the restaurant. If you want to eat Thai food or even choose from a small variety of Western dishes (fish and chips, for example), you don’t need to go anywhere else.

Lovely intimate experience ”
What a lovely relaxed vibe - relaxed personable team - who will go out of there way to ensure your comfortable. Any thing you need - the team can arrange - from Dive trips to transport arrangements. Breakfast is very basic with 3 options. But plenty of options for lunch & dinner - and good quality meals. I would definitely recommend this as an option for those who are wanting a peaceful place to stay - with easy going staff and away from the resort style machine. Lovely setting - great pool - spacious rooms A huge thanks to the pipillon team for making our stay a pleasant one.

Excellent staff, great location on Long Beach”
Overall this was a solid place to stay for being near Pra Ae beach and if you want to go to one of the parties at Pangea beach bar. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The bungalows are basic, but they are clean and the shower/air conditioning is very adequate. The beds and bedding could be upgraded to be more comfortable. The property was surprisingly quiet and the curtains keep the rooms dark.

Excellent”
Lovely bungalows. Clean, spacious and modern design .Well kept grounds and fab pool. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Short walk through a path (where you do actually see papillon butterflies!) down to the beach, Great location on middle of long beach, next to the next beach bar for music! Strong WiFi , hot showers. Centrally located to visit other beaches and busier restaurant areas, either by walking or taxis.

Perfect place to stay in Koh Lanta, very close to the beach”
We spent 14 nights at Papillon Bungalows and we enjoyed every minute. The bungalows are set in a lovely tropical garden and are very clean and spacious, each having a cozy little terrace with a hammock. They were very well equipped with dvd player, tv, a small refrigerator, as well as an electric kettle which came in very handy when waking up very early and needed some coffee or tea. The air conditioning (which you really need while in Thailand) was brand new and worked perfectly. The restaurant was also very good, serving very good Thai food, as well as a few European dishes for those who don't enjoy the Thai cuisine so much. The location was also perfect, Long Beach being 200 m away, as well as a lot of restaurants and beach bars. Tony, the owner, was very friendly, creating a very cozy atmosphere, we shared a few drinks and laughs together. He was always there if you needed help or advice about what to do while in Koh Lanta. The fact that he speaks perfect English comes in very handy, as Thai people are very difficult (if not impossible) to communicate with. We will definitely try to return sometime!

Great bungalow, great location, great owner; highly recommend if staying on Lanta”
Tony was really helpful in advance of and throughout our stay. The bungalow was brilliant; we had one of the large ones and well worth it. It's a great location on long beach; so close to the beach and also to the Phra Ae Road for restaurants (some really good traditional thai), bars and amenities. We didn't eat at the bungalows, aside from breakfast, but all food options looked good. We loved that rather that giving bottles of water each day, they provided 2 and had a water tap to refill as often as you needed, minimising plastic wastage. When we return to koh lanta, we would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyable, realxing stay in beautiful surroundings”
Coming into Koh Lanta, the main road seemed a bit scruffy and run down, and was not what I was expecting. Once off the road however, everything was different. The bungalows are concealed within lush, shady grounds. We were met a reception with smiles and cold drinks and taken straight to our bungalow. We had a family bungalow which was clean and spacious, with air conditioning and a fan. The beach is a very short walk away, through the grounds and down a little track. The area is clean and feels very safe….and we all agreed that the beach was beautiful….clean with clear water and so much space! After the relatively crowded beaches of Kata and Phi Phi it was lovely to have so much space. There are a few sunbeds scattered around, but no parasols, but this is no problem as it is easy to keep in the shade….and they are free! It looked as though there were more loungers with shades further along. There are a few lovely beachfront cafes with wooden sunbed canopy type beds with throws and cushions (aswell as tables and chairs) available…but the whole atmosphere is so relaxed, these seem available for use all day long! Sitting watching the sun go down on one of the beds, with a cocktail is one of my best memories of our holiday! The restaurant area is lovely…pretty during the day, but even better at night with lots of twinky lights and quirky tables and chairs (and hammocks) adding to the relaxed atmosphere. The food was also excellent…with combo Thai dishes to allow you to try different things as well as a variety of thai and western food. The best full English breakfast all holiday! Great customer service…ferry tickets with transfers booked, and staff always on hand to help. One small point….no toiletries are provided, which when traveling light is a bit of a pain. Other than that…couldn’t ask for more. Would love to stay again!

Exceptional”
We had a very enjoyable stay. Papillon has friendly unobtrusive staff and a relaxing vibe in a tropical garden setting. It has a nice cooling pool and is a short stroll to the lovely sandy Long Beach. I would make a couple of suggestions to improve the facilities in the 1 room family accommodation - a table and an electrical socket close to where the kettle is situated. Overall, I would recommend Papillon to anyone visiting Koh Lanta.

Dear John, Thank you for a great review and that you have taken your time to write it! Thank you also for your suggestions, and as a matter a fact the table's already in the "pipeline". We have already after your stay put some electrical extensions in all of our rooms, since we've heard from some other guests too that the cables to the kettle's is short. We do hope you'll come back someday to see our improvements! :-) Best Regards Tony with Staff
Perfect stay with super nice staff”
We actually just wanted to spent 3 days in Ko Lanta but extended our stay. One of the reasons was the nice staff and our super nice bungalow. The whole area is clean and put together lovely. You can get water for free, rent motorbikes or DVDs directly at the front desk and it's only a five minute walk to the beach which has a nice restaurant, chill and massage area. But you can also eat at papillon bungalows itself. The food is very nice. Ican only recommend staying here :)
