Close to good beaches and historic town center. Very good breakfast buffet. Beds too small. Bathroom lacking some essentials like shampoo. Door dead bolt not working.

Great potential. Great location, being an easy walk to Lagos old town and to Dona Ana beach, and also with a Spar and a handful of restaurants nearby. Pool area and snack bar facilities also good, as was the kids club (small and informal). Reception staff also generally friendly friendly and helpful. However, although some rooms are recently refurbished, others need work (eg our air conditioner did not work, doors needed maintenance, mattress was old and uncomfortable etc). Similarly, areas around the pool (ie decking) need more regular maintenance and cleaning. Breakfast was fine, but the same every day - no made-to-order options or seemingly anything typically Portuguese. Pizzas in the restaurant/snack bar are decent, but the rest of the food just ok. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, but there is definitely room for improvement - we will definitely come back to Lagos, but maybe not this particular hotel. They need to spend more time/money on basics like maintenance, comfy beds and food quality (and perhaps less on things like the giant TVs in every bedroom...).

We spent a week in AQUALUZ Lagos and enjoyed our stay. The hotel is some 15 minutes walk from the old town with all the restaurants and bars. Pool area is great, we always managed to find loungers whenever we needed them. The only disappointment was that the healthy breakfast options were limited, there was always some cut fruit, and yogurts, and a couple of cereals, no muesli or granola etc, just some oats.

The property was quite convenient and close to the beaches and city which made it perfect for walking and getting to explore Lagos. Staff was very pleasant (with one exception) and the breakfast was great. However, the property (outside of the room) was quite run down and needed work, the pictures unfortunately do not represent it being close to a 4 star hotel. Lots of the property is falling apart. Our experience with the front desk lady Carla was very unacceptable. We asked her where the Turkish Bath is located (as per the other nice and sweet front desk lady) and Carla told us “go ask the bar they should know”… and another time she even questioned us about asking for more beach/pool towels asking “where did ours go?”… as if we should be reusing our wet towels for a “4 star hotel”… it seemed like a burden for her to go find some new pool towels. For our two week trip to 6 different hotels in Spain and Portugal, this one had to be by far the worst one we experienced. Please note, all the other staff were friendly… however Carla needs to work on her professionalism if she wants to work in hospitality.

Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is very grand - our room was very difficult to find. That we had to go back to the front desk to get help to find it and they showed us the way.

The way the information was displayed on Expedia it seemed like our room had a kitchenette, it did not. It was advertised to have restaurants, bars, kids pool and play center when we arrived it was all closed. For the price we paid hotel wasn’t worth it.

This is our 8th stay at Aqualuz since 2009 and we obviously love coming back as it ticks all the boxes for us. We started coming as a couple and now as a family of 4. For the second year running we were greeted by Emmanuel at reception who is extremely friendly and helpful along with others within the team who are all accommodating. The location is great along with the food at the hotel. See you next year!
