10/10 Exceptional
1 Jul 2024
I missed my flight into Lagos from Madrid, forcing me to take a series of overnight trains and buses in order to arrive the morning after my scheduled check-in and potentially lose my reservation. Despite this nightmarish start, the staff of this family-run establishment invited me to enjoy breakfast in their cafe and relax out by the pool until they could figure out a way to place me in a room of somebody who was checking out that day. This generosity, which they continued to provide throughout my stay, transformed what could have been a disappointing trip into a wonderful experience. Not to mention, the property itself has a very romantic vibe I would recommend for couples - beautiful location, spacious rooms and a stunning ocean view from the pool area. One evening they had a guitarist performing traditional music while guests danced into the sunset. The weather in Lagos was cooler than expected while I was there, yet I wouldn’t trade the experience for one with idyllic weather at a more basic property. Shoutout to all staff members who kindly put up with my poor attempts at speaking to them in Portuguese (which there was no need for me to do). Highly recommended.
