The room was clean, the bar excellent, nice pool. No kettle in room but when we asked we were given one. Something else that bothers me is that when I booked my booking confirms that we would have a balcony but we did not, so check that when you book.

The staff was wonderful. Gave us good tips about the area. The lower level parking should have a sign at the entrance stating “enter in this direction” so it can be a straight in to parking.

Only a few units are accomodations. The majority are private condos. On site little bar and hot b'fast & lunch/snacks served. Nice pool, quiet and not as hectic as Lagos.

My boyfriend and I stayed here and absolutely LOVED it. The room was clean, and spacious, and we had a outdoor deck with a view of the pool. The staff was very helpful, and I loved that there was a bar/cafe. The hotel is about a 10 minute bolt of Lagos city center, but we liked that because it felt more relaxing and less busy. I highly recommend staying here!

Super friendly and helpful staff. The property is nice even it is a bit outdated. The downside is that the property is located on the top of the hill and dining options are limited nearby, one has to walk about 15 min downhill to the town center or the beach. However, there are plenty of excellent dining options in a 10 min driving distance. Overall, we liked staying there for the price.

Great stay, would recommend!
We loved our stay. The room was great, very spacious. Air con was the best. The service was so friendly. We had breakfast in the bar a few times and always had a warm welcome. The staff on reception were also very friendly, helpful and also allowed us to check out an hour later. Would highly recommend!

Enjoyed the Pool and air conditioning.
Bar and staff were amazing
Key to the rooms - skeleton key was kinda wonky.
Currently construction happening in front of the pool and view to the ocean. ( new building ), so a little noise right now.

Older property. Upgrade on rooms & facility needed(too many keys!😃) but room was spacious! Very clean & comfortable! Love the suite like appeal & outdoor private patio. Staff was wonderful; helpful, kind, & courteous. I‘m a senior & the steps from the parking lot to reception was challenging wth luggage. But staff came & carried down & up the steps otherwise I would not have made it. Enjoyed my short stay.

I enjoyed the spaciousness and the view of the pool from my ground floor balcony. The staff was friendly and helpful. I think the rooms felt slightly dated and had a bit of a damp/mouldy odour. The walk into Luz took about 20 minutes and in the heat a good deal longer. The bus which was near the resort came very infrequently but my husband and I did enjoy our stay.

A lovely hotel outside the city center of Luz, its rooms are large and comfortable, with balcony access around a massive outdoor pool. The staff are beyond excellent. Oh - and the water pressure is divine, along with a ceiling mounted “rain shower”.
The location helps with the noise at nights though it makes dinner a bit difficult. The bar is closed on Mondays so you’ll have to walk into town, and rooms lack kettles/coffee marker and even cups, so you’re not going to make anything to eat in the room.
All in all, great service and rooms, but a few more amenities per room would help out the stream of hikers from the Trail.
