    Everything about the Carvi Hotel ensured a memorable stay in Lagos.

    Nothing to do with the hotel but the condition of local beaches was disappointing. Also building construction work going on close by between hotel and beach.

    The location, room, facilities and restaurant were all fabulous. Well serviced by local bus to and from town on the doorstep.

    A very relaxing time and if the food problem was sorted then it would get 5 stars from me.

    With the food we have a major problem that can be sorted quite easily. Breakfast there were plenty of fruits and a selection of meats. But there were four warming trays containing bacon, beans, eggs, potatoes every single one of these items were not even body temperature absolutely poor. Lunch or main meal were also tepid...I was served some soup, it was cold so I asked for it to be warmed up. Potatoes if served with the meal ( which was rare ) were luke warm. Food was served on slate , very Chefy but a plate is much better. Now the next complaint is the lack of and choice of vegetables. I have been coming to Lagos in Portugal for over 25 years they are famed for stews with vegetables, also fish with vegetables. A lot of the problems seems to be from the kitchen to the table is slow.....not to say that the waiters are slow, in fact they were ever so friendly. If this happened in the Uk or the USA the food would have been thrown out and redone.....if 2 or 3 meals had of been thrown out then the problem would have been solved......because no hotel would put up with food having to be thrown away....They would then ensure that it would never happen again.

    Location to the Beach and the view of The Atlantic Ocean was very good. Even the sound of the Ocean was very relaxing.

    Need to add a ramp at front entrance to hotel toassist with luggage and for those with mobility issues. Kettle and cup/saucer would also be a good addition in room.

    Our room was directly underneath the restaurant. All we heard at night was the tables and chairs being dragged around for a good 2 hours and crashing glass during closing. We were understanding, but it affected our sleep when we needed to go to be early ahead of a travel day especially.

    Beautiful views. Close to the beaches and easy walk to old town.

    Honestly, for what you pay, it was not worth it AT ALL. It was basic at best, the nicest part of the hotel was the location which gives you easy access to a beautiful beach but unfortunately the overall hotel experience was "sterile" We drove down from Lisbon so had a car with us. There is a parking lot outside the hotel but it is a public car lot that is used for the beach so there is hardly ever parkings available for hotel guests. We were not told this in advance and had to park quite far away when we arrived with our baggage. When you arrive there is ZERO help with bags, you will take them from your transport, up the stairs into the hotel on your own and take them to your room on your own. The staff won't even show you to your room, never mind show you the hotel facilities, you're on your own as you arrive. The staff were pretty indifferent, if I asked for recommendations they gave me a map and a flip file but no further explanation or enthusiasm- it genuinely felt they were doing me the biggest favour and I was the biggest inconvenience. Short note: we were here on honeymoon, the hotel was notified in advance. they were the only hotel on our trip who did not acknowledge our special occasion, didn't even get a simple "congratulations" on arrival- its the small things that get noticed. The pool area is nice, although not enough umbrellas for the rooftop in the summer heat. The umbrellas that are there are also solid and permanent so you cannot move them to adjust for movement of the sun. Again, staff around the pool were pretty indifferent sitting on their phones, went to buy an ice cream and the look I got when a staff member had to get up to assist me, well it was though I had interrupted something very important. It really is such a shame, This hotel has so much potential, the staff ruined it.

    Room was nice and spacious and cleaned really well everyday, the bed was comfortable The hotel is a good 30 min walk from old town Lagos, the walk is pleasant. There is a gym with a good amount of equipment although it could use a good clean

    Minor point but While there is is a fabulous rooftop restaurant there is no separate bar to have drinks

    Location by the beach / rooftop pool facilities and restaurant. About 15 min slow walk to Lagos town - Uber cost approx between 3 and 4 euro if you don’t fancy the walk
