"From start to finish everything was wonderful. The staff was fantastic. Brunch in the morning was the best ever and I will definitely recommend my friends, and I will also return for another visit in the future."
"Beautiful new hotel about a 15 minute walk from the town of Lagos.
You'd need a car if not able to walk that distance. Doesn't seem to be any public transport.
Great pool area. Not too busy with a nice wee cafe/bar.
Breakfast is good but not a lot of variety. Not that well laid out.
Great room with balcony. "
"Everything about this hotel is 5*, from the minute we arrived. The staff are amazing and the hotel should be extremely proud of how great their team is. "
"We only stayed for one night, arriving at 23:00 the receptionist was very friendly and efficient, ensuring that the room allocated met our requirements. The room, although basic, was spotlessly clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. At check out, the receptionist (different one from check-in) was again extremely friendly and efficient, we did not have breakfast, but the restaurant area looked very clean and opened out onto the pool area which looked very inviting."
"Perfect spot to stay in Lagos. We rented a car and drove from Lisbon. There is a public parking lot in front of the hotel. Praia Dona Ana beach is a 3 min walk and you have the entire trail (boardwalk) to see all the famous beaches and cliffs. To get to the town center, it’s a max 20 min walk on the trail along the coast…beautiful walk. It’s all boardwalk so none of the trails are rough. Our room was perfect for 2 people but we did upgrade to a larger room, the view was amazing. Breakfast buffet was ok (fine if you’re just looking for coffee and a croissant). There isn’t much in terms of shopping/markets right in the area. The beach has a beach bar/restaurant (food was ok, cocktails are good, mainly go here if you want sun beds 25 euro for 2). Or, the beach is public and you can setup with an umbrella. "
