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.

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

I really enjoyed my stay at this property. The place was designed really well, and everything was very clean and in excellent condition. The beds were comfortable, the pool was great! Staff were very friendly. It took us about 10 minutes to walk from the property to the edge of old town. Also was only about a 10 minute walk to the nearest beach.

The staff and service were incredible - very helpful and accomodating. There isn’t too much around the accomodation - it is a bit of a walk into the town centre. The shower also flooded every time we had one, but apart from that - the room was excellent. Would stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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. Wir würden leider nicht nochmal herkommen.

The property is beautifully landscaped and the pool is the gem of the property. The restaurants had fresh healthy and a variety of delicious options. 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.

Très bien mais restauration décevante

L’hôtel est magnifique et la piscine grandiose. Le service de nettoyage est vraiment impeccable. Le déjeûner est correct, sans plus, tandis que le souper est décevant. Les snacks sont beaucoup trop chers, ce qui nous a obligé à manger le midi en dehors de l’hôtel. Malgré le très bon état général de l’hôtel, il y avait de l’humidité dans les murs de notre chambre située au rez-de-chaussée.

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!
