Family trip in September

We stayed for 3 nights, and loved this hotel! A great location to walk to downtown and the beach, took about 10 min and be prepared for some hills. The hotel was lovely and in good condition. The room was comfortable for 3 adults, we had a 1 bedroom unit. Pull out was in good shape for our adult daughter. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. We loved the grassy areas around the pool (unheated). The only negative was a smell coming from the bathroom so needed to keep the door shut. Management was aware and did what they could, but likely because it is an older property. Our stay was still great and we would come again!

The hotel was not up to the 4 star rating. Breakfast was chaotic with a poor selection of food and fruit no option for omelets etc. Beds were uncomfortable air conditioning was noisy. There were only 2 irons in the hotel for 170 rooms and poor communication skills. Insufficient parasols for around the pool. Definitely would not recommend

Made me want to leave my holiday

Firstly I wanted to say the reception and hospitality staff were nothing but helpful and friendly, particularly Emanuel and Renato, however, the hotel and its management were woeful. 1. We were left without air-conditioning for the entire week stay, got woken up by outside sounds because we had to keep the balcony door open at all times. Chased three times for them to even come and look at it. Told we would be moved, however, after packing, then told there was no spare rooms after all. Had to ask for fans, given really cheap ones, one fell over and broke, the other we had to fix ourselves. Got absolutely no doubt the next people into our room are still putting up with the broken aircon, clearly no plan to actually fix it. 2. One of the showers was broken, again multiple requests to fix it and promises it would be looked at, but no, we spent all week, all using the one bathroom to shower. 3. Minor but irritating on top of everything, my bedside lamp was broken (yes did check it wasn't just the bulb), again, same situation as the shower, promises but nothing done. One of the lights in the kitchen just cut out randomly. 4. Usually you don't find a bad breakfast in hotels like these, not here though, never met staler croissants and not a one off, my stepson tried to have one every day with the same results. One morning I had to try all three coffee machines to get some coffee! 5. Generally kept running out of stuff, towels, menu items, stopped being surprised in the end.

For a hotel with as many rooms as it has, the area around the pool and restaurant never felt crowded, we were always able to get sunbeds for our party of 3. Reception was very welcoming when we arrived late (due to delays in passport control) which was heartening. Our room was spacious and well maintained, the housekeeping team were great. It would have been better if there were sufficient seats on the balcony - we moved a seat from the dining table so we could all sit together. The kitchen was well equipped and a great facility - although we didn't self cater - plenty of glasses and plates for drinks and snacks. Breakfast was good, although the choices were the same every day (but then again, breakfast is breakfast). More fruit choices would have been a plus. Checkout was seamless: as we were leaving early and would miss the breakfast service, we were offered a substitute which was great - no prompt was needed, again very welcome. Top marks for customer service and hospitality - thank you for a great stay.

Great potential. Great location, being an easy walk to Lagos old town and to Dona Ana beach, and also with a Spar and a handful of restaurants nearby. Pool area and snack bar facilities also good, as was the kids club (small and informal). Reception staff also generally friendly friendly and helpful. However, although some rooms are recently refurbished, others need work (eg our air conditioner did not work, doors needed maintenance, mattress was old and uncomfortable etc). Similarly, areas around the pool (ie decking) need more regular maintenance and cleaning. Breakfast was fine, but the same every day - no made-to-order options or seemingly anything typically Portuguese. Pizzas in the restaurant/snack bar are decent, but the rest of the food just ok. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, but there is definitely room for improvement - we will definitely come back to Lagos, but maybe not this particular hotel. They need to spend more time/money on basics like maintenance, comfy beds and food quality (and perhaps less on things like the giant TVs in every bedroom...).
