Everything was practically pristine. It’s a beautiful property. The staff was so nice! Breakfast buffet was great. I don’t like that the bathtub is in the middle of everything with no door. Strange. There should be a jacuzzi that everyone can use. There is a tiny one in the spa that you can pay 15 euro to use. The property is about a 45 minute walk into town and 40 minutes from the marina. Uber charged 3.94 to get there or back. We took a hop on/off train car from right in back of the hotel one day. The beach is about a 5 min walk out the back of the hotel. Use the side door to the right of the back pool.

Beautiful pools, beautiful rooms, beautiful gardens, beautiful facility attention to detail staff in abundance, no shortage of anything. Best food I’ve ever had at a buffet lots of healthy choices lots of variety.

Tout etais parfait.

The hotel was beautiful. Will be back

Yes. All was great

The check-in was efficient and we were provided with a glass of sparkling wine until our check-in was complete. The onsite parking was a nice feature. Not every hotel has it. The rooms were clean and the ocean view was great! It seemed to us that staff had little to no interest to take the time to help us out with explaining about historic sites to see or other activities available in the Lagos area unlike other hotels on our trip who were more than willing to take their time to help us out in this regard. They had no map and their explanation was that they were a paperless hotel. The outdoor pool looked very nice, however, it was too cool to use. Indoor pool was included in our stay, however, access to the dry and steam saunas were an additional charge. The hotel is a bit of a maze to find your way around so be patient in that regard. The upside is that the hotel is only a 5 minute drive from the Lagos downtown. We would recommend this hotel to stay at.

Belle chambre avec vue sur la mer

Attenzione personale reception all'arrivo inesistente.

Nice hotel, fantastic rooms, beautiful sea view, delicious and varied breakfast, generous supply of toiletries in the bathroom. Best of all – wonderfully friendly staff.

Property was lovely, very clean and staff was great.

The mini bar is not very well stocked. Although I will say, I don’t know what it was supposed to be stocked with. Because I paid for all inclusive I was expecting a little bit more in that area. Other than that, the staff were great.

The Iberostar is situated across the Road from Meia Praio, a 5 kilometre Pristine beach. The hotel is very clean & has 2 lovely clean pools & a kids pool as well. It is approximately 2.5 kilometres to Lagos town centre. Our room was cleaned & restocked daily. Our room had an Ocean view& a nice balcony. We were very disappointed on the quality of the Bed& pillows, which were 2 Twins pushed together at different heights vs 1 king bed as expected, pillows were subpar& lumpy. The food, buffet is fresh & delicious with a wide variety of choices to please all guests at both breakfast & dinner. The staff in all areas are professional & well versed in Hospitality services. The big negative, we booked 1/2 board option, as we had booked several tours throughout the Algarve & wanted to experience local food & wine. The hotel constantly tried to upgrade us to an all inclusive plan& when we declined they began openly & loudly asking to see our hotel access bracelet’s& confirming that the colour was not an all inclusive option began charging us daily for plain drinking water at dinner& making us sign this on a tablet during our dinner proof that we had drank water& charged us $5.30 for this every meal at Checkout We felt openly discussed at each meal that we didn’t order wine or an upgrade drink The indoor pool closes at 7pm so we were never able to use it, otherwise we would have swam after or before our dinner. All in all we would return here.

Ocean view with all the amenities

Information was not given nor was facility amenities explained. We anticipated less personalization from a bigger resort but we felt invisible here. We had to ask for what we wanted as no staff were at the pool to take drink orders. The drink menus were limited with options. Food was delicious..was it worth the extra all inclusive cost for just a few days? Debatable. Breakfast starts very late, at 730am, so we didnt even get to enjoy anything on the last day since we had an early flight. Resort was like a maze with going up to go down to the same floor as your room. Was just extra confusing. I go on vacation to think less. Parking cost $7 for the vehicle to sit outside the main lobby door? For what purpose? It didnt go towards security to watch our vehicle. This place will nickle and dime you. Housekeeping didnt come each day until late afternoon. Our biggest peeve was that there was only one door that had to be used for either the shower or the toilet room. We had to strategically decide who was getting the door if we used both simultaneously. We probably wont return.

We booked a sea view room but did not receive one. The view from our room was far from what was promised and certainly not reflective of a 5-star resort. It was a view of trees and a volleyball net. At check-in, the staff positioned our room as a “free upgrade,” but there was nothing upgraded about it—the view was worse than the standard rooms with no sea view. We had to request to be moved. We also requested a king bed, but were given two doubles pushed together. The food options, especially at the snack bar, were very disappointing—limited, often unavailable, and the quality was closer to movie theatre food than a luxury resort. Between 4-6pm you can’t get food anywhere other than room service. Poolside drink service was nearly nonexistent and very slow when available. The overall property did not meet 5-star standards. The hallways were hot with no air conditioning (only in rooms), the brown carpets were heavily stained, and the attention to detail across the resort was lacking. Although they did a good job with the renovations in the lobby and good onsite parking options the hotel didnt wow us. This is definitely not a true 5-star experience. I’ve stayed at many 5-star resorts, and this doesn’t compare. At best, I would rate it 3.5–4 stars. If you’re looking for genuine luxury and service, I may recommend looking elsewhere.

No blow dryer. Otherwise it was good.
