    Parking wasn’t easy in August. Not as polished as it looks in the photos. Could do with a deep clean & more attention to detail.

    Spacious apartment, secure & sociable. Excellent location in old town but quiet. Nice pool area & in walking distance of the beaches.

    Pool furniture could do with updating. Would be great to have a small bar / cafe onsite. Complex is at the top of a steep cobblestone hill, difficult with a buggy but not their fault!

    Apartment was spacious and set over 3 floors with amazing view from rooftop terrace. Good facilities in the apartment. Very close to the beach and the town. Pool was great.

    Nothing, everything was awesome

    We loved everything, The uber dropped us at the door, we were greeted and checked in and shown to our room. Room was perfect, balcony onto the pool. Walk to the grocery shop 5 minutes' walk. Beach and town was easy and we walked everywhere. We had an amazing stay and will definitely be coming back. Room was cleaned daily, pool was exceptional. Best place we stayed on our whole holiday

    Our flight came in early and we couldn't check in until 3pm which we knew. However reception closes between 12-2 so we wouldn't have been able to get in and leave our bags had we not got in while someone else was coming out. We left our bags by reception anyway hoping it was ok, and wandered into town for ice cream, so it wasn't a problem but would have been nice if someone was there to greet and put bags aside.

    We absolutely loved our holiday here as a family of four and stayed for a week. The location couldn't have been better, almost in the old town really with views from our roof terrace over it and to the beaches. We live on a hill so the short walk back home each night didn't bother us and I think the views make it all worthwhile - and it's nice and quiet. The pool was beautiful, never crowded with bed always available even if we weren't there first thing or even in the middle of the day. Yes a few tiles missing here and there but the terracotta tiles were non slip and looked so authentic with the lovely old wall covered in foliage. The cleaners came every other day which was well enough for us, and they didn't come early. I wouldn't say the furniture was tired in the villa - eclectic maybe but we enjoyed the fact it wasn't all completely modernised, we found extra storage in the bathroom which was good, as the 3 small drawers in the bedroom weren't enough for a family of 4. There were a couple of really small issues which were dealt with straight away by reception. The villa is split over 3 floors which we loved, we had lots of room. Overall, an excellent hotel, we will be back.

    Air conditioning units were ok in medium heat but not very good for 30degrees and above. Location was very good but up a steep hill back from the centre of the old town…however after a couple of days used the taxi rank in the old town (always plenty of taxis day and night) for the 2 minute ride (€4) back to the apartment.

    Great location in the old town. Lovely apartment with amazing roof top view of Lagos and the sea. Pool was great and cleanliness spot on.

    Only thing that could have been improved was cleaning the room daily, rather than every other day and someone on reception more frequently.

    Lovely apartment, spacious, good kitchen facilities. Great location, up a small hill just to be aware, reception staff were lovely. Beds were extremely comfortable. So close to a beach and the town centre. Less than 10 mins walking for both!

    The property is in a great location, just minutes to walk down to the historic center shops, restaurants, cafes, marina, etc. Also easy access to the nearby beaches and to the boardwalk above the cliffs. The apartment itself was very good. Its a three level layout with a ground floor space with a sitting area, table and kitchenette. Bed and bath on the middle level, and the two sided terrace with sweeping views. Pool area was a nice reprieve to relax after a day out walking, sightseeing, sailing or at the beach.

    The only thing that was hard for us was that my dad is elderly - almost 85 and climbing back up the hill from town was hard for him. The apartment was great though and he did it!
