Atalaia Sol

We picked this place because it had a heated pool and sat outside the busy city center, making it easier to reach by rental car. It’s a small, cozy apartment hotel; the owner was super friendly, and everything was clean and well kept. The city center is about a 30-minute walk, but that didn’t bother us since we had a car and Bolt was always available. We stayed in February and the pool was warm enough to swim in. Highly recommended!

From reception, you walk into a tropical garden around a spacious heated pool, and it feels like Southern California. Our clean, functional ground-floor apartment was just steps from the lovely pool, which was never busy. My children spent hours there in May. The location works well for exploring the wild western coast and nearby villages like Luz and Salema. Lagos city center and the beautiful beaches are about 10 minutes away by car. Breakfast was very nice, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We’ll be back next year.

A really cozy hotel, just the right size, with an ocean view from the first floor. Lagos and Luz are beautiful, with nice hiking trails, and there are lovely beaches and boat trips to ponta de piedade. Breakfast was nice, and the heated pool was clean and pleasant. You order breakfast a day ahead, choosing what and how much you want, which helps avoid waste. They bake the bread on site; sample photos of the different breads would have helped us choose. The tennis court is nice too. A great place to be.

A great place to stay in Lagos, with very helpful staff. They have a handy system for connecting to the wifi and scanning a QR code to browse local sightseeing and restaurant options.
