John Netherlands

Wonderful resort for our family. Large, spacious rooms with an excellent breakfast. We enjoyed the pool and short walk to the beach each day. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions or needs we had.

Larsen Germany

We loved our stay at the resort! With that said, it is beautifully located at the sea and the views are stunning. Our suite had a great sea view and the comforts of a 5-star hotel. The daily lunch and dinner at the restaurant were good, not great. The staff was very friendly and service-minded and I felt appreciated as a guest. The entertainment for children was limited to a playground, which we thought could have been better. Overall, a very nice stay at this luxury resort and we would love to come back.

Boudewijn Sweden

the staff is very nice and helpful. allowed us check out late since our kayak activity end by 3:00pm. it is very nice, quiet location even it is little bit far from Lagos, but it is close to benagil beach and hiking trail is close by as well.

Deedee United States of America

Easy access to a small beach and cliffs, can hit the trail easily; quiet hotel complex as it's a bit out of the way

Ah_ha United States of America

The accomodation was excellent, location perfect and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The food served in the restaurant was very good.

Wood United Kingdom

Overall we were very pleasantly surprised by the accommodations at this place. Our villa was very spacious, all the kitchen amenities were great, the view was beautiful, and the direct access to the small beach was a definite plus.
