Had a wonderful 3-day stay. Hotel was well maintained and close to beach, restaurants, grocery store and points of interest. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent especially the fresh squeezed orange juice and made to order eggs. Pool and weight room were excellent as well. Would definitely stay there again.

Our room was very spacious.it had everything and more we needed.
The breakfast was a very good way to start our day. The breakfast staff were wonderful.
Check out is at 10 am.Room keys were already not working when coming back from breakfast at 9:45. We were refused a later check out from Joanna the night prior. They were able to keep our bags and able to use the pool till our 1 pm departure.

Perfect spot close to beach
We stayed at app E1B. All roms are huge, except the toilet which is a little tight. The place is about 5 min walking distance. Groceries are at walking distance. Very good restaurant around, we had a dinner at the Indian restaurant called Pashmina. The quality of the food at breakfast is good but a little repetitive from day to day. There are a washing machine and dishwasher and all the equipment you need to cook and serve. Be careful, there is no salt and pepper in the appartement. We had a parking spot in the basement but our car size didn’t allow to park easily so we left the car outside. The resort is very clean and pool are very nice and water is clear. I would recommend this resort without any hesitation.

Beste Unterkunft unserer Reise!
Unsere Wohnung war phantastisch, grosszügig. Von hier aus konnten wir in alle Richtungen sehr schöne Ausflüge machen und wir kehrten am Abend immer wieder gerne zurück in unsere Mietwohnung. Die Siedlung Luz gefiel uns, vor allem in Meeresnähe, sehr gut. Auch die weitere Umgebung ist von den natürlichen Gegebenheiten her etwas Besonderes. Ein sehr schöner Ferienort!

It's in the details
After the pleasant surprise of the high ceilings on our 3rd floor apartment there were little niggly things that dragged the experience down. The TV was very tiny for such a large living room. We had to move the furniture closer to watch TV. The headroom on one side of the loft master bedroom was inadequate (I'm 6' tall). Not enough light in the large ensuite. The dishwasher door needed to be forced to close properly. All this small stuff that was wrong kept popping up - it's like the design wasn't thought out 100%, just got to 90% instead.

GREAT ACCOMMODATION
Could not fault this complex. The apartments were spacious and very well equipped, clean and the staff were very helpful.
This complex impressed us so much that we are intending to return at the end of the season for another week of relaxation, comfort and good food..
Local buses to take you to other resorts in the area.

Super fijn hotel
Estrela da Luz is een super net hotel met goeie faciliteiten. Binnenzwembad, sauna en een uitgebreide fitness zaal. We hadden een appartement op de derde verdieping met uitzicht op zee vanuit de woonkamer keek je recht op zee. En twee terrasjes. Afwasmachine en wasmachine. Leuke ontvangst met een lekkernij van de streek. Er werd twee keer in de week gepoetst en handdoeken verschoond. Omgeving is ook erg mooi. Ik raad wel aan om een auto te huren. Er zijn erg veel leuke dingen te zien en te doen in de omgeving. Strandje zelf en boulevard zijn redelijk klein. Wel erg mooi.

Great Apartment
I stayed on my own for five nights at the beginning of Dec, excellent roomy apartment , very well equipped, good underfloor heating, just two slight negatives ; the bed was a little hard, but as it was warm I slept on top of the duvet which was more comfitable also there is very little hanging space in the basic apartment, ok for me on my own for a short stay but not so good for a couple on a longer trip. I had a look at the one bedroom apartments while I was there and that had an excellent full size wardrobe, when I go back with my husband I will defiantly pay the extra an book that instead of the basic apartment . The position of the hotel is ok, five min walk to the beach but quite a step hill to come back, not too bad if your fit. A fair amount of reasturants/bars near by plus two good size supermarkets if your self catering. Luz itself is a pleasant village that has a brilliant beach and is just a short bus ride away from busy Lagos. Overall a really nice break.

Vi bodde på hotellet en vecka i en studio och var mycket nöjda med storleken och att det fanns ett stort och välutrustat kök med både disk- och tvättmaskin. Servicen och bemötandet från hotellets personal var också bra. Städning 2ggr/ vecka ett plus. Det är nära till stranden, supermercados och alla restauranger. Lätt att ta sig till Lagos med buss. Kan rekommenderas.
