This modern luxury hotel is located on the outskirts of Lagos town overlooking the magnificint Meia Praia sandy beach, 5 minutes drive from Palmares Golf. The hotel opened in 2009 and is arguably the most opulent hotel in Lagos with superb facilities, spacious grounds and public areas, and contemporary large guestrooms. The beach is a 2 minute walk out of the back gate (over the road and the very rarely used railway line!), and Lagos town centre with its variety of shops and nightlife is a 15 minute stroll or 5 euros in a taxi. The rooms are very well equipped and decorated, and the whole hotel has an airy relaxed holiday feel to it. The staff here are renowned for their friendliness and help to make this the perfect venue for your golf holiday in Lagos. |
