Overall good experience, great location close to restaurant area and close to beach.
Pros:

Good location, great updated bathroom, loved the balcony overlooking pool with view of the ocean, we used the pool was very nice.

Cons:

Rarely anyone at reception desk. Old entrance door knob with key is not very secure, should be updated. Need larger standard size safe. Please update old beach towels.

Pros:

Sehr, sehr schönes Apartment iin einem wundervollen alten Gebäude in der Altstadt von Lagos.
Herrlicher Blick über den Pool zum Atlantik. Geschäfte, Bars und Restaurants sind in wenigen Minuten fußläufig zu erreichen.
Jessica von der Rezeption ist eine wahnsinnig nette und hilfsbereite Person, die jede Menge Tipps für Unternehmungen parat hatte und uns tolle Restaurants mit köstlicher lokaler Küche empfohlen hat.
Als wir versehentlich eine Beschädigung im Bad verursacht haben, kam sie uns sehr entgegen und konnte trotz Wochenende kompetent die Reparatur organisieren.
An dieser Stelle nochmals ein ganz dickes Obrigada, liebe Jessica!

Cons:

Das Licht im Bad dürfte für ältere Damen ein bisschen heller sein 😁.

Beautiful poolside villa apartments only a short stroll into Lagos centre and beaches
Pros:

These self contained villa apartments are beautifully presented and situated only a short stroll from Lagos centre and its beautiful beaches. The outlook to the pool and ocean is stunning, and both the rooms and surrounding atmosphere completed our Lagos experience. The staff were welcoming and helpful in making recommendations based on our preferences which we thoroughly enjoyed. There is plenty of free parking in the surrounding streets, and a well-stocked supermarket nearby. We would highly recommend staying here!

Lagos est une ville intéressante à visiter
Pros:

Près de la vieille ville. Le nettoyage de la chambre était parfait.

Cons:

J’avais l’impression que l’appartement était spacieux. En faite, s’est très petit.

Nos encanta volver
Pros:

Lo mejor son las vistas desde la terraza, la ubicación, la piscina y la amabilidad del personal. El apartamento está muy limpio, es grande y la cocina está bien surtida.

Cons:

Las cortinas de la habitación dejan pasar mucho la luz. La limpieza no es diaria (cada 2 días) y sólo ponen gel/champú el día de llegada.

Heerlijk stadje Lagos kunnen ontdekken vanuit een centrale maar toch stille locatie!
Pros:

Geweldige ligging én een heel mooie en gezellige indeling van het gebouw met leuke gangetjes. Ons appartement had 3 terrassen wat super was!
