We had a good stay at Palmares overall. The property itself is gorgeous and our Signature Apartment was a huge highlight — spacious, spotless, well designed and really comfortable. We had a two bedroom and the second bedroom was actually separate from the main apartment, which was great for privacy. The staff was also incredibly kind and helpful. The location is great, It’s only about 10 minutes from Lagos town, but feels peaceful and exclusive compared to the madness of Old Town, and being so close to Meia Praia was a huge plus. Where it fell short was the 5 star experience. There were a lot of unfinished details that added up. Breakfast was honestly pretty bad — cold food, very little variety and coffee from an automatic machine. For a 5 star resort in Europe, I’d expect much better. There was also A LOT of construction, no gym, and huge cranes obstructing the beach views. They kindly offer golf cart rides toward the beach, but you’re dropped off on a dirt road and still have to walk down to the beach. Overall, good but not great. It definitely didn’t feel 5 star yet, but it seems like they’re still getting everything up and running. The property has so much potential, so hopefully once construction is done and they iron out the details, it’ll be amazing.
