5/5 Excellent

"We stayed one night. Hotel is a 12 minute walk to the airport. Staff was kind and friendly. They had continental breakfast but our flight out was earlier than the hours so we’d miss out on that. They asked when we’d plan on leaving and offered to prep us packed lunch. Sure enough it was ready at 4am, the time we had to leave the hotel. Such a great experience!"

5/5 Excellent

"Had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Staff was very helpful upon arrival and provided excellent concierge services, from helping up book a speedboat tour to the Benagil caves, to making a dinner reservation for us at a nearby restaurant, to offering to allow us to continue using the facilities after our check out. Room was very nice, clean and spacious. The balcony was great with the towel rack, which came in handy after a day at the beach. Property is situated right in front of the Praia Dona Ana beach, which is a very picturesque beach. The restaurant upstairs is great - breakfast is delicious with many options and dinner was excellent! The hotel is close enough to the town center / Old Town to walk to. Surrounding area has a quiet and relaxed vibe. Overall loved my stay here and would definitely come back if I visit Lagos again. "
