My husband and I have recently returned from The Avenida after a 10 night stay. We stayed in a Superior Room with a marina view. The room is a bit bigger than the standard rooms, it had two balconies, one of which was small and I think was only there for aesthetic purposes. We enjoyed the larger balcony which had a table and two chairs. The views from here are lovely, overlooking the majestic marina and bridge. We had the sun in the morning which rises right opposite the hotel. The hotel is situated on a busy road and the marina bridge gets very busy. It’s a great place to watch all the hustle and bustle. However, noise wasn’t an issue, once the patio doors are shut you can barely hear anything from the outside. The glass toilet wasn’t an issue for us and it really isn’t a problem. The room itself is bright and airy, the bed has to be the best one I’ve ever slept in whilst on holiday. So comfy after a day out and about and once the black out blinds were down we were out for the count. The one gripe I had was lack of storage space. There is literally what I call a gentleman’s closet, with hanging space for tops, skirts and shorts but no chance for dresses. There are a few shelves. Luckily, I use packing cubes and was able keep clothes and undies in them and I took a portable clothes stand to use for dresses. You would be ok for a few days but for a 10 night stay the storage isn’t adequate. This didn’t put me off the hotel, I just think this needs to be considered by the hotel management. The breakfasts were Michelin star in my view. Absolutely amazing. Need I say more? The roof top bar and pool were also very good. Great food and lunch snacks and such a relaxing vibe up there, with chilled out music. We used it most days after the beautiful beach which is only a 15 minute walk away. We noticed that passers by were pointing at the hotel and looking up at it, it really does stand out. We didn’t try the Michelin guide restaurant for dinner, it was a bit on the expensive side. We were spoiled for choice in Lagos for restaurants. However, if it was anything as good as the breakfast it was probably justifiable. Drinks were pricier than average, but you are paying for the privilege of being in a luxury hotel. All the staff were impeccable. The service from reception, restaurant, housekeeping and the roof top were second to none. Everyone was so professional and at the same time extremely friendly and approachable. All in all, we had a lovely time at The Avenida and Lagos. We will definitely return another day.
