Excellent Stay

The place was clean and cute. The pool area looked very nice, but we didn’t have time to enjoy it bc we were busy exploring the town. Having washer in the unit was a big plus, so we did some laundry. João made the check-in and check-out very easy.

Amazing property - we will be back

This property is absolutely amazing. Beautiful surroundings, very well designed interior for two couples. Front and back private terraces. Inground pool cleaned daily. Lots of flowers and trees, sunbeds and shade. Close to town, close to the beach. In short, it was perfect! And the price was excellent. We will definitely return.

Wonderful 2 bedroom condo close to the beach and good area

2 bedroom unit is clean and in a nice quiet complex and furnished well. The outdoor furniture were extremely comfortable and of good quality. One minor problem that was resolved quickly with property manager. Would definitely stay here again if back in the area.

Breathtaking property

Our stay at the Sanctuary was perfection! Everything from the communication with Joe and Joao, to the ease of entry, to the cleanliness of the apartment, the stunning landscaping and proximity to all our destination highlights was perfect! We had 5 adults in our group and really loved having 2 washrooms. The master bedroom has a double bed and could easily accommodate a queen or king which would be a nice upgrade but we made due. The beds are quite firm but if you like that then you’ll be fine. We can’t say enough good things about this property! We truly hope to one day be able to stay here again. Thank you again for the lovely stay!!

Vacation from the vacation

Loved the location of the sanctuary - away from the hustle and bustle. This location is best if you have a car rental, as it is away from Lagos center and beaches are located on steep hills (for older folk, it may be a bit much) If you don’t have access to a phone plan - download WhatsApp to communicate with the caretaker - once you meet up, it is easy to access the apartments. Place was clean - loved that there are two bathrooms. We loved sitting on the balcony and having an afternoon swim during downtown. Super convenient to get to many attractions such as the cave tours or Sagres. Beautiful sandy beaches in every direction! Beds were comfortable and place was quiet in the evening

Amazing area and apartment

Absolutely amazing apartment, terrace and garden. Perfect for both adults and children. We hade every meal outside, morning sunshine and shade in the afternoon on hot days. Large bedrooms, a big dining room with sofa and TV. On top of this a large pool with a smaler jacuzzi. Joe is the most caring manager to find I think. No questions are to small to answer and very fast feedback. We will come back. feedback.

Great place to stay!

We spent a week in this lovely complex mid June and we were almost alone. Felt really exclusive. The apartment is in good condition, spacious rooms and lovely patio. We had almost all of our meals outside. Great outdoor environment with well kept green areas and a lovely pool, which is bigger than the pictures shows. The owner has four sunbeds free of charge. Spacious parking just outside the apartment. Walking distance to several popular beaches. No need to use the car. Will definitely come back. Note, the beds in the bedrooms are firm! Request for an extra mattress in advance if needed.

Great Stay

Really enjoyed our stay; great location near Lagos especially if you have/rent a car. Host was flexible and courteous and willing to answer any questions. Unit was clean and comfortable although we found the bed mattresses fairly hard and no amenities like extra toilet paper or garbage bags were supplied.
