If you are looking for an adult only small hotel near Lagos, this hotel will meet your needs. We had all our breakfasts there and you would find plenty of fresh fruits , cheeses, pastries and hot food, Dinner was excellent and they had a great wine list. What makes them truly special is their staff. They always greet you with a smile and are eager to help you organize your excursions. Best massage I had in a long time. Ask for Maya. The hotel manager was also very responsive to our needs. They have construction next to it and they were transparent about it before our arrival Perfect setup. Best sunrise and sunset! 10 minutes from Lagos, free parking. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would return if I come back in the Algarve.
