Great View and Location
The location is convenient to Lagos, sightseeing and shopping. The view from the balcony gives a good view of the water. The pics of the furniture both inside and out are outdated as they did not match. The property manager was responsive when contacted for a few items and we were able to get in early (Thanks Joao). To make this a full 5-star, a few things could be added for comfort.... place to put toiletries in front bath when showering, hook to hang towels in back bathroom, a normal mattress, mirror in the front bathroom, written instructions for TV, microwave and leaving and perhaps a listing of good restaurants, best tours, sightseeing, etc. That has been normal in other places I have stayed. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to anyone heading to Lagos.

An excellent stay!
We loved the location of the apartment. It has access to a large clean pool which is a plus for a family with kids like us. It is located right on one of the most famous beaches in Algarve area. You can walk to the town(about 10 min walk) which was always very pleasant. It had 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Air conditioner was a plus. I loved the layout of the apartment as well as the large balcony where we had most of our breakfast and some dinners. Parking was super easy and we never had a problem finding a spot. Here are some of the negatives to be aware of; Please do go shopping on the way to the apartment because there is nothing, not even salt or enough dish washing liquid or hand soap to wash your hands. I thought it was very strange that all of the soap dispensers only had a few pumps of soap left. Not the most well stocked kitchen. We've stayed at many places through out Europe and this is the only place that didn't even have basic necessities like salt and dish washing soap. Also, no coffee maker which we thought was very strange. Balcony, while big and spacious with amazing view of water, it definitely needed some tlc as I saw mold and paint chipping. Also, the guy who greeted me at the door wasn't the friendliest but I assume he is the manager of the apartment complex. Also, some beach towels would have been really nice. Despite that, we loved the stay and we'd definitely come back for more stays. You just can't beat the location, the view and the convenience!

Magnifique
Nous avons passé cinq jours ,fin mai 2019. Très confortable et très bien situé, sur la falaise surplombant la magnifique plage Dona Ana, l'appartement offre une vue partielle mais très intéressante sur la baie de Lagos. À environ 10 minutes de marche de la marina ou l'on peux louer des kayaks et tours de bateau et à 15 minutes de marche seulement du centre ville pour supermarché, boutiques et restaurants. Nous avons adoré notre séjour. À ne pas manquer le tour en petite chaloupe pour voir les falaises et plages de la mer. Comme c'est petit, on n'était que 2 dans la chaloupe avec le guide parlant français, et on pouvait entrer dans les grottes non accessibles aux plus grosses embarcations. 55 minutes de pur plaisir pour les yeux. On reviendrait certainement Denise, Québec, Canada

Fantastic
We stayed in this apartment for the month of March and would have liked to have stayed longer. The location was great with an easy walk to the city centre, restaurants, grocery stores, train and bus stations. The apartment was well equipped and had a fantastic view from the large balcony. Also our contact Sarah was very helpful with places to visit in the area and arranging transportation to and from the airport. We would definitely recommend this apartment and and hope to have a return visit. Esther & Wayne, Canada

Beautiful Location
The location and view were amazing!! The check-in was bumpy as I was told to call before leaving Faro so that the person meeting me had time to get there. I called him and he said to call when you get to Lagos. When I arrived at Lagos I called him and he informed me that he would be there in 20-25 min. I am sure had he timed it better it would have been not much of a wait for weary travelers. There was no information given regarding pool key cards, just here is the suite if you lock the key in I will charge you if I have to come back. Not a warm and fuzzy greeting. The unit is gorgeous BUT it would have been nice to have some basics when you arrive. Soap, more than 3 rolls of tp for 4 guests for 6 days, basic kitchen supplies, dishcloth, sink plug to do dishes, salt/pepper. Cupboards were completely bare so if you are staying here be ready for an essentials shop. I brought shampoo of course but it would be nice to have a small bottle of it supplied. The unit is a short walk to everything, the beach, restaurants, and shopping. The beach is gorgeous and there is a snack hut for drinks and food there. There is a small shop on site and ATM as well. Security 24 hours at the front entrance is great. There is a pool as well if you are not in the mood to tackle the stairs to the beach. I would definitely stay here again it was just perfect as long as they offer the basics so you don't have to go out and buy it all as soon as you arrive.

2 weeks at Iberlagos
We had a very enjoyable holiday and felt that Lagos was an excellent choice. The apartment we stayed in was clean modern and had a well equipped kitchen for the space available. However we were disappointed with the general lack of outside maintenance "badly needs painting rusty light fittings and shutters that need some TLC. The complex and in particular the pool side enjoycafe was just OK but the toilets available were appalling, no toilet seats on any of the closets hand washing facilities were non existent in fact the complex looked very tired and in need of a major refurbishment. Would we stay on this complex again? no definitely not!!!

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2020
I would ask that anyone reading this review takes into consideration that the negative comments are regarding the communal areas and the communal toilets are not a direct representation of the apartment itself. Iberlagos is not one of the newer resorts in Lagos, but having said that, its location, on the cliff top above the award winning Dona Ana Beach with breath taking views is 2nd to none. The overall star rating to date for this apartment is 5 stars with just one giving 4 star for the property and its location - which is pretty great, and clients staying just a couple of weeks later have written a very comprehensive and helpful review, with number of steps, quick routes to Lagos and overall, another 5 star review.

Great location for the beach!
The apartment is located just behind Dona Ana beach. The beach is accessed by a ramp and then stairs. The walk back up had me winded but not as bad as some of the other beaches. Lagos is a very hilly place in general. The apartment is as pictured with modern, small kitchen and washrooms. The apartment is on the first floor which is above ground level. There are 4 steps to a lift. We managed fine with a stroller. Sarah, the host, was pleasant and helpful. Short walk to groceries and town. We were pushing a stroller so the most direct walk back from town was a bit steep for us. We found that walking back through praca da armas along estradas ponta de Piedade and through the parking lot to be easier, just a tip. Overall great location to be close to the beach and quieter area than right in town.

Thank you for a very comprehensive review. The tip regarding walking via Praça das Armas, along Estrada da Ponta de Piedade and through the carpark (old foot ball pitch) located in Trinidad next to the Iberlagos complex is very helpful

Thoroughly enjoyable, great location for people who like to explore
Family of four with to 18 year olds just returned from a weeks stay......Sarah, the agent for the apartment is so helpful. The location is literally above Dona Anna beach which is stunning. The beach is accessed via a very short walk down a fairly steep ramped path and the apartment itself has easy access by stairs or lift. The pool is huge, clean and has a great view. The apartment is well equipped. light and clean and the balcony is huge. The kitchen area is small but adequate. We ate out most of the time as there is an abundance of restaurants for all tastes and budgets closeby. It's a 10 minute walk into Lagos old town which is an absolute gem of a place with a mix of travellers from around the world. Walk 10 minutes in the other direction and there is Camillo Beach with crystal clear water for snorkelling and cliff top walks with views to die for. Food highlights (recommendation by our friendly cab driver) - piri piri chicken from the takeaway next to the gateway in the old city wall by the park, Qwazi burger 5 mins from the apartment, fish and prawns steamed in copper pots in the old town. Activity - kayaking the grottos - book direct at the meeting points on the beach near the fort rather than the touts, it's cheaper. The cost of 30E a head seemed a bit much but it was worth it as the memory will stick, you will need to book in advance.
