Hotel was very spacious, huge pool, nice size bedroom, staff was amazing. Hotel has breakfast and restaurant onsite for dinner. Also have a bar and sitting area to enjoy the pool. Very quiet. We were able to book Uber or taxis directly to hotel to the old town which was about 5 mins car ride. Walking distance about 15-20mins.

Just fabulous. We stayed four nights in one of the villas, which apparently had been recently remodeled. Everything was shiny and new and sparkling clean. There was a small, well-outfitted kitchenette, though we didn't use it to cook, just for coffee/tea and dishes. We loved the back patio area and our unit even had a small deck on the roof! Each villa has its own parking spot too, which is great. The service at the restaurant and pool bar was top notch, all the staff were so friendly and kind. We paid for breakfast two days, dinner one night, and ordered food at the pool bar for dinner another night, and everything was delicious. The pool is enormous and there are plenty of loungers, although it would be nice if the umbrellas could be moved or even just tilted as the sun moves. I wish we could have spent more than one afternoon lounging out there, but our itinerary was packed. The deposit for the pool towels is a bit steep, but you get your money back when they're returned. I would come back to Lagos simply to stay at Ancora Park again, we enjoyed it that much!

Just okay

Had higher expectations considering the ratings on line. But here’s where they do not warrant a 5 rating. We had a one bedroom suite with kitchen setup. Sofa wax stained, no tv in bedroom, you had to supply your own toilet paper and coffee. Okay maybe the coffee but toilet paper? Been to many places over the years and this was a first where we had to buy our toilet paper. Bed was very poor quality, need their mattresses updated. Beautiful pool and pool area but the loungers are in terrible condition. We tried the buffet dinner on our last night and although great variety, food quality is subpar.

The cocktail menu and wine selection was excellent. The staff from the room attendance, servers, bartenders and hospitality staff are outstanding which made our stay at Hotel Âncora Park very comfortable and enjoyable. Also, we liked that it is very family friendly with a pool for children and changing tables for families with infants. Highly recommend this hotel and the restaurants. We definitely will return and bring our entire family.

We’ve stayed previously and the rooms have had a really good refurb since then. Pool area and bar has also been massively improved since 2018. New hotel block has been built and it’s more a 4* now. Only issue was construction work daily from 8am till late at an apartment block right next to our bungalow, we were block B. Constant angle grinding and drilling, such a shame but once the building is complete, you won’t have an issue, other than being overlooked from the balconies. The area has developed with lots of new building so not a quiet as we remembered, but location is convenient for the local beaches at Praia Mos and ponta de piadade. Centre of Lagos is about 20 mins walk. Overall, would recommend if staying in Lagos

Overall it is a very nice property with a great location. The rooms were newly renovated & spacious. It has tons of potential to be 5 stars, but the beds & pillows are hard as a rock. There was also no patio furniture on the upstairs balcony of the apartment which is a miss - would have loved to enjoy some evenings out there with some wine. I think for the price they should add that in. The food at the restaurant was terrible, which was disappointing. Otherwise, the stay was fantastic.. I just think they have a ton of potential and can do better to become a 5 star destination.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ancora Park. It’s a little further out of town perhaps compared to some other hotels. However this meant it was lovely and quiet, and Uber’s were super cheap if we didn’t want to walk into town. Staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Never had to fight for a space at the pool and was short walking distance to some beautiful beaches.

Nice rooms but poor food and surrounded by cranes

The room was lovely and big and the reception staff were very helpful. The hotel was very clean. The pool was huge and there was always space on sun loungers.

The only things that let this hotel down are the food and the location. The food at breakfast was very average and the snack bar food was horrible and not worth the inflated prices. We didn’t try the dinner as we were so unimpressed by the snack bar that we didn’t fancy trying the dinner. The hotel is a little out of town which we knew and Ubers to the centre of town were only €3. However, there are lots of new buildings being built around the hotel so the views from the pool were ruined by cranes and building sites which was a shame but cannot be helped by the hotel.

The apartment was good for 2 people, we liked having access to the roof to sit out. The kitchen area is not so well equipped and it would have been useful to have dish soap, cloths etc but it's nice to have the option. The pool is big and the area lovely, not so warm water at this time of year! We enjoyed the 20m walk into town, found a couple of local shops / bars / pizza restaurants, and enjoyed walking on the cliffs at the end of the peninsula, and the walk along the cliffs to Luz.

Die Unterkunft ist neu und alles ist renoviert. Es sieht toll aus. Parkplatzmöglichkeiten sind direkt an der Unterkunft vorhanden. Es gibt einen großen 50 Meter Pool für Schwimmer. Die Liegen am Pool sind leider durchgelegen und unbequem. Ablauf der Dusche war verstopft, daraufhin habe ich dem Personal gesagt, dass das behoben werden soll und nach einer Woche auch mal feucht durchgewischt werden soll. Als wir dann nach Hause kamen, war das komplette Badezimmer nass und überall waren Fußabdrücke, es war also schmutziger als vor meinem Hinweis. Daher musste ich wieder zum Personal, welches mir sagte, dass das erst innerhalb der nächsten 3h irgendwann sauber gemacht wird. Ich musste freundlich daraufhin weisen, dass wir das Badezimmer aber ab jetzt wieder nutzen wollen und nicht in 3h. Daraufhin wurde dann geputzt. Ansonsten ist dauerhaft ein lauter Pfeifton (scheinbar vom Nachbarhotel zu hören, sodass man fast Tinnitus davon bekommt. Abschließend lässt sich sagen, dass hier das gesamte Preis-Leistungsverhältnis mit Blick auf den Service, die Freundlichkeit und die Sauberkeit nicht passt.

Review of Âncora Park, Lagos

We stayed in the hotel section of Âncora Park, which is relatively new (around 4 years old), and we were very impressed. The hotel is modern, clean, and beautifully maintained. It's located a bit outside the city center, offering a more peaceful atmosphere while still being within easy reach of Lagos.

The restaurant on site is excellent, and the pool area is a definite highlight - a large main pool, a separate children's pool, and plenty of sun loungers. One thing we really appreciated was that there was no hassle over sunbeds; no guests were reserving loungers without using them,

which made for a much more relaxed experience.

We also took part in a fantastic kayaking tour along the coast, exploring stunning white-sand beaches and paddling into sea caves and grottoes. The tour started within walking distance from the hotel, making it both convenient and unforgettable.

All in all, a fantastic hotel that both my girlfriend and I would gladly return to. Highly recommended!
