Pros:

Very comfortable, excellent family room on the ground floor. Loads of things for the kids but nicely spread out over the hotel.

Cons:

Breakfast in a very area for the volume of people. Felt busy. But actual breakfast was delicious

Nos ha decepcionado, caro para lo que ofrece.
Pros:

El tamaño de la habitación y los zumos del desayuno.

Cons:

El baño de la habitación necesita una reforma. No hay amenities en la habitación(sólo champú y gel) pero luego venden crema en recepción. La cama sonaba cada vez que nos movíamos. Las hamacas de la playa son de pago

Estadia em Lagos
Pros:

A piscina exterior e toda a zona envolvente foi o que mais se destacou pela positiva durante a nossa estadia. O hotel encontra-se numa localização excelente, especialmente por se situar apenas a 5min a pé da praia.

Cons:

Embora tenhamos gostado da nossa estadia, há alguns aspetos negativos que merecem ser mencionados.
Começando pelo preço das bebidas ao jantar: num hotel de 4 estrelas, consideramos inadmissível servir um copo de Coca-Cola de pressão e cobrar 4,50 €. Estes preços excessivos aplicam-se, aliás, a praticamente todas as bebidas vendidas no restaurante.

O staff do spa revelou-se pouco simpático e transmitiu a sensação de estar a atender os clientes por obrigação.

Por fim, e para nós o aspeto mais preocupante: a segurança.
O hotel é bastante amplo, especialmente na zona exterior, e dispõe de um percurso que convida os hóspedes a fazer caminhadas. No entanto, para nosso espanto, existe um acesso que permite a entrada de qualquer pessoa vinda do exterior, sem qualquer tipo de controlo ou vigilância.

Considerem estes pontos para futuras melhorias.

Would not go back
Pros:

This hotel is a 25 minute walk from Lagos shops and restaurants which is hard going in the heat. If you are not all inclusive there are no shops nearby for water or snacks etc. There is a local hourly bus service but this is not reliable and we found that at the weekend sometimes the bus just did not turn up. The pool was lovely and no problem getting a sunbed. The rooms are badly sound proofed and you can hear everything so woken at 7:00 each morning with a crying baby and all the noise that goes on to organise a child. Noisy children and parents in the corridor of different families that are going for breakfast at 7:30 in the morning. Phoned reception as glass bottle dropped in room and glass everywhere, I was told to hold even before I could say why I was calling. Sat for over 15 minutes waiting on someone coming back to the phone, eventually gave up a went to reception to get assistance. Rooms are sometimes not cleaned until 3 in the afternoon, so don’t plan an afternoon siesta. Lagos was a lovely and would go back but not to this hotel.

O pequeno almoço com muita variada e qualidade, a piscina exterior enorme e com muitas espreguiçadeiras a água sempre ótima.
O Jacuzzi e a piscina interior também muito boa.
Praia muito perto do hotel dá para ir a pé facilmente.
O bar também muito bom.

O Buffet no jantar não tinha muita variedade e a qualidade não era a melhor para o preço.

Really great vacation that we were hoping for
Pros:

Big swimming pool, close to huge beach, quiet in the night (if neighbours are quiet), good breakfast

Cons:

Very thin walls, can hear neighbours talking normally late night, it was very windy, which I think is very usual in that area

BRILLIANT STAY
Pros:

Had a perfect week. Immaculate room with sea view. Clean towels every day. Spent most days at the beautiful pool. The addition of an entertainment team was an added bonus, loved the aqua aerobics/gym. Also enjoyed music at the pool. The pool bar was very welcoming. Lot of variety at breakfast buffet. There is a lovely beach across the road and a lovely walk along the boardwalk. Yes it is a walk to the marina and the town but taxis were very reasonable to bring us home!!

Bad Experience
Pros:

The hotel/resort has very spacious rooms and a nice patio with an ocean view.
There is no coffee in the room unless you pay extra. There is no Kleenex or tissues provided and no water. We received one small bottle when we checked in.
We purchased bed and breakfast. Breakfast is a disaster. Coffee machines are not working most of the time. Hot breakfast has no taste and is mostly cold.
Staff don’t seem happy and it shows in the service.
We are finding that eating out is our best option but we are about 30 minutes to town walking.
Lagos is beautiful. The town is beautiful. The beaches are beautiful and close by.
This is not what we had hoped for especially when we had such amazing hotels in Barcelona and Lisbon.
We would not return.
