The stay was lovely at Aqualuz. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The property was very clean and quiet. The only thing I was a bit uncomfortable with was the temperature of my room it was very stuffy most of my stay. Other than that, it was a great stay!

We hope to return!

We were very happy with our stay at the Aqualuz Hotel. The studio room had a good size kitchen with a fridge and 2 burner cooktop. I think every room has a balcony. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The pool was a nice place to relax in the afternoon but the water was cold in October. The location was great -- a 10-minute walk to the old town and a 10-minute walk in the other direction to the boardwalk for gorgeous scenery.

Overall a nice stay, with a few minor inconveniences. The hotel was very nice overall — the room was spacious and the balcony had a great view overlooking the pool. However, the property was a bit more worn than it appeared in the photos. During our stay, we had to request fresh towels and more hand soap, as these weren’t replenished when the room was cleaned halfway through our trip. The pool area was lovely, but be warned — the water is freezing, more like a cold plunge than a relaxing swim. Definitely something to keep in mind depending on the season. The area around the hotel felt very safe, which we appreciated. That said, the walk into the old town/main area of Lagos took about 20 minutes (walking fast). It’s not too far, but if you’re hoping to pop into town for a quick lunch and then head back to relax by the pool, it can feel a bit inconvenient — especially since the walk back is mostly uphill.

Hotel is located in a great central area - easy to get to old town, Marina and cliff trails. Room was very basic but comfortable. Front counter service was excellent and friendly! Breakfast was nice with some different options. Bar prices were high and bartender could have been friendlier. The pool and pool area was amazing! Best and biggest pool ive ever seen at a hotel! So clean and perfect temperature too! Would go thereagain and recommend it for the location and pool area for sure!

Family trip in September

We stayed for 3 nights, and loved this hotel! A great location to walk to downtown and the beach, took about 10 min and be prepared for some hills. The hotel was lovely and in good condition. The room was comfortable for 3 adults, we had a 1 bedroom unit. Pull out was in good shape for our adult daughter. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. We loved the grassy areas around the pool (unheated). The only negative was a smell coming from the bathroom so needed to keep the door shut. Management was aware and did what they could, but likely because it is an older property. Our stay was still great and we would come again!
