The property was quite convenient and close to the beaches and city which made it perfect for walking and getting to explore Lagos. Staff was very pleasant (with one exception) and the breakfast was great. However, the property (outside of the room) was quite run down and needed work, the pictures unfortunately do not represent it being close to a 4 star hotel. Lots of the property is falling apart. Our experience with the front desk lady Carla was very unacceptable. We asked her where the Turkish Bath is located (as per the other nice and sweet front desk lady) and Carla told us “go ask the bar they should know”… and another time she even questioned us about asking for more beach/pool towels asking “where did ours go?”… as if we should be reusing our wet towels for a “4 star hotel”… it seemed like a burden for her to go find some new pool towels. For our two week trip to 6 different hotels in Spain and Portugal, this one had to be by far the worst one we experienced. Please note, all the other staff were friendly… however Carla needs to work on her professionalism if she wants to work in hospitality.

This is our 8th stay at Aqualuz since 2009 and we obviously love coming back as it ticks all the boxes for us. We started coming as a couple and now as a family of 4. For the second year running we were greeted by Emmanuel at reception who is extremely friendly and helpful along with others within the team who are all accommodating. The location is great along with the food at the hotel. See you next year!

Overall, this hotel was great. The rooms were spacious and clean. Lots of amenities here in a great location. Breakfast was lovely with a large selection. The staff were always friendly and ready to help. The only cons - the place is quite large, and it took us almost 10 minutes to get from our room to the parking garage. We found a somewhat quicker way eventually, but it is super easy to get lost. Also, our cards quit working every time, and we had to go to the reception 3+ times to get new cards. Not a huge deal except the reception area was far from our room.

Construction site across the street and our bedroom backed onto the street, not desirable but in all fairness we just did not want to pack up and move to another room. Great shower and good location to old town. Best restaurant near by Calhou. Breakfast was plentiful but variation would be better. Front desk staff were excellent and breakfast staff always tried to address deficiencies. Good underground parking. Also the speaker music throughout the hotel started at 8 am and went to 11pm and seemed loud. Overall a good experience

Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful but ordinary. No orange juice available, machine appeared broken several days in a row. We were in a spacious apartment style at road level so often a bit noisy. Twin bed mattresses not the best and bathroom fan was so noisy it sounded like a truck when you turned it on. Bathroom was otherwise modern with a great shower and great towels. Nice balcony overlooking pool. I have stayed at other Editory properties that put more effort into their breakfast. No tissues in room.

Liked the proximity to town and the proximity to the famous beach walks - Dona Ana, Ponte da Piedad, Praia do Camilo. Hotel had excellent breakfast but not much seemed available beyond that - maybe off season and very few people here. Sure it would be a very busy place in the summer.
