Lovely hotel. Rooms spacious and well presented and maintained. Staff were wonderful and helpful. Location good but not ideal if you have mobility issues as it’s a long walk down hill to beach area and restaurants and even longer back. You need those restaurants as the hotel restaurant is far from good which is such a shame as the rest is brilliant . Breakfast was excellent across the board with lots of choice. Pool area is well planned and quiet. Pool small but adequate if a slight chilly to get into but worth the effort.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay! Peaceful accommodation. Well maintained. Professional and mostly pleasant staff. Clean room. Pleasant smelling halls. Lovely pool area and satisfying breakfast. The beach and a shopping area are a close walk away. Great value for money! The main downside, is that the bus to downtown Lagos left infrequently, however this can be solved with a taxi.
Overall, I was very satisfied :)

We visited this hotel from 24th July - 27th July 2024. The hotel has recently been undergoing some improvements and this has aided in making it feel like a 4 star hotel.
Pros
Breakfast was great - lots of choices such as hot food, cereal, pastries, fruits, cheeses and meats. Also lots of choices of hot drinks from the machine and cold drinks such as juices.
Pool - the swimming pool and loungers didn't get too busy and were very relaxing to be around. There is a heated pool and a larger pool but both were extremely cold. There are also lots of soft chairs in the bar area/ sofa type chairs to relax on as well as a paddle board court.
Room - the room was better than we expected and was clean and modern. The shower was really good and we enjoyed having a balcony. Each room comes with a TV, fridge and safe. Although we had twin beds, they were pushed together to feel like a double bed.
Hotel - all of the staff were friendly and helped us when we needed it. The hotel looks beautiful and the makeover has added to the feel. Our rooms were cleaned daily and we were given a bottle of water on the first day. We went with the bed and breakfast option but there is a pool bar to order food and you can eat in the hotel's restaurant on an evening if you wish but this is an a la carte menu and it's the same every night. We got to the hotel at 12 but we weren't allowed to check in until 3pm. Reception looked after our bags for us and we went and explored the town until we could check in. You are given a set of towels for the loungers but will be charged if you lose these but you can swap them for fresh ones each day.
Location - the hotel is located in a great spot. It is at the top of a hill but if you are ok with walking, this is fine. It was a 6 minute walk to the beach and town and there are plenty of shops and restaurants. If you are into your fitness or running, there are plenty of roads to run around and explore (as long as you have the correct running shoes)
Cons:
Gym and spa - We were told via two websites and our 3rd party booking, that the new gym and spa would be ready by 6th July. However, we rang the hotel just before we went and were told they would not be ready. This was one of the main reasons we decided to go with this hotel so this was very disappointing. I understand that work can go over the deadline, but the websites should have reflected this and not advertised it as ready. If you are going later in the year, I am sure the gym and spa will be lovely but unfortunately, we missed out.
No iron or ironing board - I asked for an iron / ironing board for the room but was told they would have to find it. As a 4 star hotel, I think each room should have their own. After ten minutes, an iron was brought to me but I was told they couldn't find the ironing board so I had to use a desk to iron my clothes which wasn't ideal at all.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and would have stayed longer. Praia da luz is absolutely beautiful and we fell in love with it. We will definitely be returning to Portugal and we would visit this hotel again. Thank you so much for your accomodation.

Such a perfect find for our trip! There were beds for all three of us in one room! The hotel is gorgeous! The location is splendid - away from the business of Lagos, but closer enough for a quick drive. The staff were fantastic, kind and extremely helpful! Loved loved loved it here!
