All was excellent, except for one check-in staff member who was bit clueless and robotic. The rooms are spacious and very good, breakfast is otherworldly great, and the location convenient. Overall experience was most charming, as the name implies. We loved it! Their breakfast is the best we had, after three weeks in a Portugal and Spain.

If I could give more than 5 stars to rate rate this property I would do so. The property is so beautiful not only the ground but the lobby areas and the decor in the bedrooms. Would love to everything about this place. It’s also a great location. The staff were wonderful very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really good and there was a lot of variety in the food offered. The only thing to be aware of is I’d requested a garden view room and my room face the street and I don’t know if that’s considered the same thing but it didn’t appear so on Expedia. However, I didn’t say anything to the staff. I was still happy with the room. The grounds around the pool and even the main lobby are just so beautiful. The Chinese restaurant near the hotel is spectacular. Probably the best Chinese food I’ve eaten in 10 years.

Lovely hotel with antique furnishings, comfy lounge and bar in reception area, helpful staff. If you don’t mind climbing a spiral staircase to reach the top floor, you can have a spacious room with private balcony there. Breakfast buffet was great and cooked by dedicated staff onsite.

This hotel was fine, but not exceptional (other than the excellent breakfast). A little farther from the town center than anticipated, and much more hilly. Bed was too soft for my taste, which didn’t make for a particularly comfortable sleep. Personally, I would select another hotel on a return trip to Lagos.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was very warm and helpful, the hotel was well situated between some stunning beaches and also easy walk into the old part of the city. Also, the breakfast was a real standout. Great meat and vegetarian options , they changed things each day , and most importantly, it was delicious. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Lagos

Disappointing

Room was nice and we enjoyed the brunch in the mornings. The front desk staff was less than helpful and extremely rude overall. I was here with my wife, and the staff talked down to us until they realized we were staying in a premium room. In addition, they insisted on writing out my credit card info on a piece of paper that they keep at the front desk in case of any charges at the hotel bar. This is an extremely insecure process as anyone in the hotel could find this information in their open boxes on the wall. We stayed here in part because of the pools, but the water was so cold we couldn’t get in.
