Location - less than 5 min drive from downtown Lagos. Quiet area, which was lovely. Not much around for restaurants and no grocery/convenience within walking distance. Free parking right at the hotel entrance. If you don’t have a car, Uber downtown is only about €5. Easy walk to Praia de Porto de Mós which was a beautiful beach and not very crowded. Lovely cliffs on either side. You can walk up from there to the trail on the western cliff which leads to the Fisherman’s Trailhead. Lovely views from up there. ||Staff - all of the staff we encountered have been very friendly and helpful. Zero complaints||Food - no full dining room-style restaurant on site for lunch or dinner but they do serve food from the pool bar and there is tables to eat there. We didn’t order any food from there so I can’t comment on that. Breakfast is included in the room rate and they have a beautiful breakfast room. Breakfast had a great selection of things - pastured, breads, fruit, yogurt, cereals, cheeses, meats, spreads, coffee/tea/juice. They have a few hot items in a chafing dish but you can also order your eggs prepared as you like and brought to your table. Breakfast is from 8:00-11:00||Facilities - there is a gym, but we didn’t go in there so no comments. Same for the massages that are available. The pool is outside and lovely but it is not heated. We were there third week of October and it was not hot enough outside to go in an unheated pool. Either heating the pool or having a hot tub would be a huge plus for me in recommending or rebooking this hotel. The pool area was very nice and clean and lots of loungers. Lobby was very pretty and clean and always smelled nice. ||Room - we had a family duplex room, with pool access. It was a 2 level room (basically 2 identical hotel rooms with a set of interior stairs). Bottom floor had one large bed and upstairs had 2 twins. It was great with our kids (who are 12 and 15) because they had their own space in the evenings. The stairs however are not the safest because they are like a polished stone (which can be slippery) and the run of the step (depth) was very short so easy to overstep when you are walking down. If our kids were small we would have had to put them downstairs. Beds and linens were super comfy and rainfall showerhead was one of the nicest I’ve used. |Overall - lovely hotel, very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Great breakfast and we liked the quiet location. Would stay again.
