A lovely apartment-hotel, in a great location! The staff are friendly, the apartments are very spacious, have stunning views over the pool, and the beds were very comfortable too. The pool is even bigger than the photos! It gets all day sunshine so a great place to lounge in the sun. It’s a short walk to the beach and the centre of the old town. Would definitely stay here again.

Room 201 was a lovely room, fab size and super roof top balcony. The bed was super comfortable. Great location, 5 mins walk from a great food spa. 5 mins walk to the centre of the shops and restaurants. Central Pandaria “bakery” just 5 mins away also which is great value and great coffee / breakfast shop 3 doors down on the corner which smart contemporary and always busy .

My husband and I stayed at Baluarte da Vila Apartments for three nights. The most amazing feature of this accommodation, other than the warm, helpful staff, are the views. Absolutely amazing! Our studio room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed. The shower is large.We never watched TV, but there is one in the room, along with a small kitchenette. The location of Baluarte da Vila is key! Walk down narrow cobblestone roads to many restaurants and shops. Walk up, beyond the fire station, for additional splendid views of the river, boardwalk to the lighthouse, and the Atlantic Ocean. The accommodations are not new, but they are wonderful. And reasonably priced! I highly recommend!

The only small inconvenience was no shelf in the shower. If you have a difficult time bending down to grab soap, shampoo, etc, this might be an issue.

Pool access was fabulous. It was amazing having somewhere to relax and cool off after exploring around Lagos. The room was a perfect size for our 4 night stay.

We had a very nice apartment with sea view, which was absolutely stunning. Having breakfast in the morning with the windows open and the sea and pool view was one of the highlights. Also the building is very calm. We definitely felt like nobody was disturbing us. The building itself has a very calm atmosphere. The reception is extremely friendly and helpful! Thanks so much for making us feel at home! The cleanliness was really good, the bathroom was modern and large. There was enough space for luggage and clothes. Also the old town is just a few minutes by walking and so you do not need to walk a lot. Also that's why you have a lot of privacy and are protected from the party folks at night. We would definitely recommend staying here for the good value for money you get!

I have the feeling that we had one of the older apartments. The kitchen could use some modernization and some furniture looked older as well. That though didn't disturb us much. A negative point is the lighting in the bathroom which definitely needs to be renewed as it was very dark.

We stayed in the superior apartment with terrace and the views from the terrace were incredible! Apartment was spotless and had everything we needed and was comfortable and cool to relax in. Kitchen area was particularly useful for us. Location is ideal for old town and beaches. Every single member of staff was extremely pleasant. We look forward to returning in the future!

For a room rated as "superior" some upgrades could be made - the bath has a sizeable chip that needs repaired, towels are thin and could be much higher quality and the fitted sheet for the bed is not an adequate size for the mattress...minor issues that would make easy improvements to an already great property!

After being dropped by taxi at the vila and knocking on the door the lovely receptionist 'Eva?' welcomed us and gave us a detail briefing about the accommodation, the vila, pool etc as well as a map of the town with detailed information on eg supermarket, town centre, beaches etc. The studio was well equiped and had fabulous views of the pool area and the ocean and the added benefit of a furnished balcony ideal to chill out after a swim or sightseeing with a glass of wine or to enjoy al fresco meals. The most comfortable king size bed we have slept in for sometime. The location was perfect with part of the building close to the city wall. A quiet perfect location near the old city centre but far enough from the hustle and bustle of the buzy town, only 5-10' walk. Plenty of restaurants and beautiful architecture. Close to the beaches, marina and train station. The place was spotless and the domestic staff very pleasant, helpful and kind. Our departure was also very smooth and Jessica very helpful. If back in Lagos i will not hesitate to return to Baluarte vilas and request the same room.

there wasnt anything we didnt like but there are a few things that could be improved/added. We did feel there could be more hangers in wardrobe, some hooks in the bathroom to hang your dressing gown or towel, some shelves for toiletries and one in the shower. The kitchenette would benefit from having a shopping board. It is a pity there isnt a toilet facility by the poolside and the reception area.

Quiet complex. Pool area lovely and bigger than the photographs. Beach towels provided. Some nice small Beaches are walking distance. Short walk to the many restaurants and bars.Spar shop nearby. Kitchen has essentials. Air-conditioning good.Would return to stay in Baluarte apartments.

Main issue for us was our apartment bathroom was poorly lit but the staff took on board our suggestion to address this. Location is good but as others noted it is on a hill so will not suit everyone. Be prepared for a uphill climb home after your night out or at the beach!

Hostess Eva was great, Help with transfers and recommendations for excursions and restaurants. Location was very close to old town and beaches. Also was close to historical sites. Apartment was cleaned on a daily basis.

Pool is not heated, so they might consider heating it in the off season when the weather is hot but the ocean is not. Facial tissue in the rooms would be a bonus but there is a grocery store is near by (4 minute walk). They might also think of plastic glasses that could be used on terrace or patio ( everything is covered in tile which is beautiful but hard on glassware.

Very good location to restaurants and ocean. Great neighbourhood. Grocery store within walking distance. Friendly and helpful staff. Parking available in the street. The apartment was large and we had a view of the pool and an amazing roof top terrace with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Two bathrooms, the one by the bedroom was big. Large bedroom and livingroom. Beautiful pool area, but we went in April and the pool was too cold for us to swim. Others were more brave and went in.

It's an older building and needed a little attention. Lots of stairs to this apartment. Down to the apartment, to the apartment, stairs to the livingroom and to the terrace. We had no problem, but just to be aware as there are other room choices. We'd stay here again, but things they could do to make it better: -The mattress on the bed was uncomfortable, needs a new mattress. - a Nesspresso coffee would be better with a few complimentary pods. We had to buy a whole bag of coffee. They did provide filters. -pepper please! There was salt - corkscrew was broken. - invest in some better lounger pads, the ones provided looked awful, as did the umbrellas. The pool was such a nice area and this took away from it.
