Marina Club II

“Third time’s a charm”

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Marina Club. Third time to visit and never disappoints. Special word of thanks to the wonderful Amy, the pool bar manager, for brightening up everyday by always giving us a smile and a laugh with our drinks and ice creams. Looking forward to returning already.

“Amazing location and great apartments for a family”

Perfect! A wonderful location for exploring Lago old town, about 10 mins walk across the marina foot bridge.

Perfect! A wonderful location for exploring Lago old town, about 10 mins walk across the marina foot bridge. Shops, market stalls, bars and restaurants all within easy reach and plenty to choose from. The Marina offer great boat trips, easy to book from kiosks, we kayaked to coves and caves with a 10 and 12 Yr old. Pool is great open from 10am and needs this time to warm up as can be a little cold - but you get used to it, warmer after lunch! Lovely pool bar for ice creams and slush ices! Grown up bar is quiet but nice to have. More life in evening as you head to marina and old town. Staff are super helpful and with mid day check out and luggage store our last day was full of sun despite our late night flight. Great bar on marina has live music! Apartment is huge, kids beds are two proper sofa beds and our one bedroom was so comfy and big beds. Air-conditioning great and able to control too. Small balcony but great to pool floats and hanging wet clothes to dry. Room for 2 chairs but used bigger dining table in kitchen. Kitchen well equipped with supermarket within walking. We hired car from Eurocars about 10mins walk over road bridge. Water park about 30 mins away which we visited too. Would highly recommend this place and don't want to leave!

“Great location…”

Firstly, the location of the Marina Club is great. There is a lovely sandy beach 10 mins walk away that has a few smallish beach cafe/restaurants and board walks for access, which are good.

Firstly, the location of the Marina Club is great. There is a lovely sandy beach 10 mins walk away that has a few smallish beach cafe/restaurants and board walks for access, which are good. To walk from the hotel to the restaurants on the marina takes a few minutes, and approx 10 mins into Lagos old town. There is a good supermarket 5 mins walk away that has pretty much everything you will need if you are renting an apartment and want to get food for breakfasts and lunches etc. Regarding the hotel, the pool is nice enough, just not really big enough to service the hotel when it is busy. It is cleaned every morning, but the surrounding area isn’t. Under the sun beds is never swept, so there is always a lot of leaves and debris, and sometimes people’s rubbish, which isn’t great. The sun beds are ok, a little tired and no cushion, so not the most comfortable. Towels have to be obtained from heading down the spa area and signing out however many towels you want and then returning them for fresh ones. Not the most convenient. The spa costs EUR 10 to use the gym, inside pool, spa area, so we didn’t bother as it is 16 years old and over. We rented a 2 bedroom superior apartment with pool marina view. It was a very good size, and had most things we would have expected. The decor was modern and simple. Beds were a little hard for my liking, and the overall tiredness of the bathrooms/kitchen were as expected. The shower in the small bathroom leaked every time you used it, so towels had to be placed by the door to catch water. We had a constant battle with ants in the apartment, not only in the kitchen but in the bedroom, lounge, bathroom, wardrobes and even in bed! We were given bug spray, but that didn’t seem to help. Regarding cleanliness, our room was always tended to late everyday at 4.30, and it was literally a 5 minute job. Poor effort and not up to my standard. Balcony was great, large area with a table and 4 chairs and two sun loungers, that were much nicer and more comfortable than by the pool. The balcony had 2 plant pots, one empty and one with a half dead small plant. There was a small, very small area to dry swimming stuff. Reception staff were very helpful and friendly. Most of the housekeeping were friendly. All in all it is a nice hotel, it just needs to improve on housekeeping, tidying up the pool area - paving is uneven and needs fixing, plant area needs maintenance, more sun lingers or add another pool to the property, it has the space.
