Lagos Luxury: Stunning 2-Bed Apartment with Breathtaking Views!
Alright, buckle up, because this isn't your average hotel review. This is me, spilling the tea (or maybe the vino?) on Lagos Luxury: Stunning 2-Bed Apartment with Breathtaking Views! And trust me, after a week of living the high life, I have opinions. Let's dive right in, shall we?
First Impressions: The "Oh My God, Is This Real?" Stage
Walking into this place? Pure, unadulterated wow. The "breathtaking views" part? Not just marketing fluff. I swear, the first time I saw the ocean from that balcony, I nearly choked on my complimentary bottle of water (which, by the way, is a nice touch). It's the kind of view that makes you forgive the airline for losing your luggage. Seriously, the entire apartment feels like a movie set.
SEO-tastic Rundown (But Let's Keep It Real, Okay?)
Accessibility: Okay, so I didn't need special accommodations myself, but the elevator (a MUST) and the presence of "Facilities for disabled guests" are huge pluses and score some accessibility points. I DID see a doorman, which makes a big difference with the luggage, like a real hero.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Dream
- Right, so, the "Asian cuisine in restaurant" thing? Might not be your main draw. This isn't a food tour. The "International cuisine in restaurant" is a more accurate description. Think well-executed classics. The "Breakfast [buffet]" was alright, but I absolutely killed the a la carte options a few times.
- The "Poolside bar"? Essential. Especially after a day of exploring. One afternoon, I accidentally left my phone in the pool. I wasn't going to say anything, but the staff, they're good. They know exactly what's going on. They were even able to point me to "coffee/tea [in restaurant]" which helped while my phone was drying.
- "Room service [24-hour]"? Okay, so, I ordered a pizza at 3 AM. Don't judge. It was… necessary. The pizza was actually pretty decent. The "Snack bar" is also a solid winner.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (Spa Day, Anyone?):
- "Swimming pool [outdoor]": Magnifique!. The view from the pool is just as stunning as the view from the apartment. Spent a lot of time in there, all hours.
- "Spa/sauna": I went for the "massage". It was… transcendent. The "Spa" is a proper luxury spa. The "Fitness center" is there if you want it, but honestly, the best exercise is walking between the pool and the bar.
- "Body scrub, Body wrap": I'm not really a "scrub" person, but hey, maybe next time.
- "Sauna, Steamroom": Yes!
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Secure (Literally):
- Look, I'm a bit of a germaphobe, okay? But this place? Pristine. They're using the "Anti-viral cleaning products," and I saw the staff "Daily disinfection in common areas." Made me feel way less stressed about, well, everything. The "Hand sanitizer" stations were EVERYWHERE. The "Rooms sanitized between stays" felt reassuring.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference:
- "Concierge"? Super helpful. They sorted out a last-minute day trip and even gave me some local tips.
- "Daily housekeeping"? My apartment felt untouched.
- "Laundry service": My clothes were clean, and I didn't have to do a thing.
- "Wi-Fi for special events": I'm not sure when I'm going to have those, but I like to be prepared.
Rooms: My Personal Paradise:
- "Air conditioning"? Yes, please. Especially with that view.
- "Blackout curtains"? Game-changer for sleeping in and getting late-night drinks.
- "Coffee/tea maker"? Godsend. That first cup of coffee on the balcony? Pure bliss.
- "Free bottled water" and "Mini bar"? Stocked with the essentials.
- "Seating area": Perfect for chilling, sipping wine, and staring at the ocean.
- "Separate shower/bathtub": Because sometimes you need a long soak.
- "Soundproofing": The peace was unreal.
- "Wi-Fi [free]"? Obviously essential for Instagramming that view.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly Fun:
- I didn't have kids with me, but I did see a "Babysitting service" which is handy.
Getting Around: Easy Breezy:
- "Airport transfer"? Smooth and easy.
- "Car park [free of charge]"? I'm not sure what the fees were, but the free parking made a big difference, and was easy and accessible.
- "Taxi service"? Readily available.
The "Real-Life Imperfections" Section (Because Let's Be Honest)
Look, no place is perfect. The breakfast buffet, as I mentioned, could be better. The gym is okay, if you're into that sort of thing.
That Room though:
I need to stop and take a moment. Those views. That balcony. I could have honestly lived there forever. I even considered writing my novel there, or starting a cult. The "Additional toilet" was a blessing. The "Closet" and "Closet" were roomy.
My Verdict (The Part Where I Rave)
Lagos Luxury: Stunning 2-Bed Apartment with Breathtaking Views! is more than just a place to stay. It's an experience. It's a chance to recharge, to indulge, to feel like you're living in a movie.
Quirkiness and Emotional Reactions
I fell in love here. I mean, deeply in love. Not with a person, but with a place. The way the sunlight hit the water at sunset? I wept. Okay, maybe not wept, but I was definitely misty-eyed.

Unbelievable LOOF Tiny House Camp Yamanashi: Japan's Hidden Gem!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your perfectly curated Instagram travel log. This is real life, Lagos edition. And we're crashing in the Premium 2 Bed Apartment with View in Marion, because hey, we deserve a little (cough, hopefully a lot) of luxury after the flight from hell.
Trip Title: Lagos: From Chaos to, Well, More Chaos (But with a View!)
Day 1: Arrival – Shehu Shagari Airport…and Then the Scramble
- Time: Uh, let's say 10:00 am. (LOL. Like flights arrive on time in Lagos. More like 11:30, maybe 12 if the visa gods are feeling generous - which, spoiler alert, they rarely are.)
- Event: Touching down at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, a beautiful testament to the endurance of humanity. After a harrowing flight (turbulence so bad, I almost confessed to all my hidden sins), we stumble out, blinking into the humid embrace of Lagos. The air smells…unique. A symphony of exhaust fumes, fried plantains, and…is that a hint of ambition?
- Impression. This will be one of the biggest test: will my emotional and mental health survive this experience?
- Transport: The promised airport transfer? MIA. After a frantic phone call (and a mini-meltdown involving a missing suitcase and the phrase "Nigerian time"), we flag down a (hopefully) licensed taxi. The journey is an assault on the senses – a chaotic dance of cars, bikes, and pedestrians, all vying for the same precious space. The driver tells us, with a straight face, that "traffic is light today." (Cue hysterical laughter).
- Quirky Observation: The sheer volume of roadside vendors selling…everything. Phone chargers, roasted corn, knock-off designer bags, tiny wooden carved figures that look like they've seen things. Lagos is a non-stop marketplace.
- Check-in: Finally, FINALLY, we collapse into the blessed air-conditioned haven of the apartment. The view? Absolutely worth the near-death taxi ride! The city stretches out before us, a concrete jungle pulsating with hidden rhythms. We're in Marion, right? Let's hope the internet actually works so I can actually start my work.
- Anecdotal rambling "Oh man! I forgot about all the paperwork I'd left at home. I gotta call my boss about this."
- Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated relief. Followed by a wave of exhaustion and the sudden, overwhelming urge for a very strong gin & tonic.
- Evening: Plunging into the pool. "It's not the best view in the world, but it may be the best pool in the world!"
Day 2: Exploring Lagos (and the Art of Haggling)
- Morning: Waking up with a slight hangover (thanks, G&T) and a serious case of "where am I?" The view from the balcony is even more stunning in the morning light.
- Transport: We decide, bravely, to venture towards public transportation. Uber (bless you, modern technology) to a place called "Obalende" - a main bus station.
- Event: Visiting the Lekki Art Market. The sheer vibrancy of the place knocks you sideways. Seriously. The artists are amazing. The artwork is mind-blowing as you walk through, the colours, textures… wow.
- Quirky Observation: Negotiating prices is an art form. I'm clearly a novice. I got played, HARD, on buying a wooden mask. But hey, it’s a great story, right? And the mask is kinda cool.
- Emotional Reaction: A rollercoaster! From exhilaration at seeing such creativity to frustration at my bargaining skills.
- Afternoon: We take a "yellow bus" from Marina. A very interesting ride!
- Rambling: I swear, I saw some people in their underwear! I need a break.
- Night: Dinner at a spot recommended by the apartment concierge. The food is amazing. Spicy, flavourful…I think I’m in love.
Day 3: Beach Day (and the Sandfly Massacre)
- Morning: "Ah, I hope it's better than yesterday.."
- Transport: Uber to Elegushi Beach. (This journey is an adventure in itself. The roads are bumpy, the drivers are…expressive, and the music is LOUD.)
- Event: Beach day! Sun, sand, sea…and a whole lot of sandflies.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: A beach day! At first, it’s bliss. The ocean's a beautiful color, the kids are playing with each other. But then…the sandflies. Oh, the sandflies. They are tiny, ruthless, and they feast on unsuspecting tourists. My legs are covered in welts. I itch everywhere. My mood goes from "sun-kissed goddess" to "homicidal maniac" in about ten minutes.
- Opinionated Language: This is a national emergency! Someone needs to wage war on these biting bastards!
- Messier Structure: So yeah, the beach was…mixed. On the one hand, the scenery was beautiful. The waves were crashing. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure I’m developing an aversion to sand. And itching. Oh, the itching. Did I mention the itching?
- Anecdote: I tried to apply sunscreen, and the sandflies immediately doubled their attack. It was like they were laughing at me.
- Evening: A seafood dinner to try and forget the beach. Oh, and I got a cocktail (or two), but just in case.
Day 4: Lagos Island, and the Quest for the Perfect Suya
- Morning: A morning stroll through the estate, it's very calm here! This morning gives me time to think about yesterday, the kids love exploring around.
- Transport: We take an Uber, and then a yellow bus to the Island
- Event: A tour of Lagos Island – the historical heart of the city. There's something charming and depressing about this place, but don't let that scare you.
- Quirky observation: No matter where you travel, women are always so stylish. The people in this area are dressed to the nines!
- Anecdote: We visited a restaurant. As we were eating, the people in the next table were talking about the current government (probably not a good idea, in hindsight)
- Afternoon: We will look for some street food.
- Night: Finally, the goal of the day. I gotta find the perfect Suya. We'll explore night markets and eat like kings. Suya, with its spicy, grilled perfection, is an experience.
- Event: We visited a local market, and it was busy! I got knocked down in the rush, and almost lost my purse.
- Emotional Reaction: This is it, this is the true Lagos!
Day 5: Rest and Relaxation (and the Battle for Wi-Fi)
- Morning: Finally, we can do this!
- Event: Today is a day for recovering. Sleep in, and drink more water. I'll catch up on episodes I've been waiting for.
- Quirky observation: The wifi isn't the best in the whole world.
- Anecdote: Even the TV remote gives me trouble sometimes.
- Night: We'll be eating street food.
Day 6: Departure – Farewell, Lagos! (Until Next Time, Maybe?)
- Morning: The dreaded packing begins. Regretfully, the days have passed so quickly.
- Event: Taking the last look at the view, and reminiscing on the trip.
- Quirky observation: This is the longest trip of my life!
- Transport: Back to the airport.
- Emotional Reaction: Bittersweet. Lagos is a chaotic, frustrating, exhilarating, and utterly unforgettable place. It tests you, it challenges you, and it leaves you wanting more (or maybe just a very long nap).
- Final Thoughts: I'd come back, but maybe with a better sandfly repellent and an understanding of the art of haggling. And definitely a pre-booked airport transfer.
- Time: Goodbye! (And let's hope the flight is less eventful this time!)
This itinerary, my friends, is a work in progress. It’s a messy, imperfect, and hopefully entertaining snapshot of a trip to Lagos. And that, in itself, is part of the beauty of travel. Now, who wants a drink?

Okay, so... what *exactly* makes this "Lagos Luxury"? I'm hearing a lot of buzzwords...
Alright, alright, I get it. "Luxury" gets thrown around more than bad jokes at a wedding. Look, picture this: you walk in. First thing? BAM! Views. Not just *any* views, mind you. We're talking postcard-worthy, "I can’t believe I live here" kind of views. Of what? Details, darling, details! But generally, stuff that you’d actually *want* to look at, not a rusty car graveyard.
And the interiors? They actually *feel* like someone put thought into them. No cold, sterile hotel-room vibe. Think more...chic, relaxed, a little bit "I've travelled the world and know a good sofa when I see one." (Spoiler alert: I *love* the sofa. More on that later.)
They promised all the modern bits: fast Wifi (thank God!), aircon that *actually* works (another win!), and a kitchen that doesn’t make you want to weep. Is it perfectly flawless? Nah. There's not a place on earth that's perfectly flawless, and even if it were, I'd probably be bored of it. But it *is* a cut above. Trust me on this.
Breathtaking views, huh? Spill the beans! What’s the view *actually* like? Is it all just smoke and mirrors?
Okay, this is where I get *really* excited. Remember that postcard thing I mentioned? Well, the view... it's the star of the show. I mean, honestly, I spent the first half-hour of my stay glued to the window, just staring. It's kind of embarrassing now that I think about it. Like, *really* embarrassing.
Let's dissect it. You're up high, so you get the whole panorama thing. You can see... (okay, let's try and be specific) ... the water, like a shimmering ribbon of blue (or, sometimes, grey, depending on the weather, which in Lagos is a whole other story!). And... it's a little different every time you look at it. Sometimes calm, sometimes choppy, sometimes with a setting sun that sets the clouds *on fire*—I swear, I almost cried! Then there's the city spread out below, twinkling lights at night. I'm not sure what *specific* landmarks I was looking at, because I honestly couldn't stop looking at the *overall* view. The whole thing is just... well, breathtaking.
Honestly, it's the kind of view that makes you want to sip champagne—or, you know, whatever your poison is. I wouldn't judge if it was *just* a bottle of water... I've done that too.
Two bedrooms, you say? Is this place big enough for a family, or is it more suited for, say, a romantic getaway?
Two bedrooms means options. It's definitely big enough for a small family. There's room to spread out, and you won't be tripping over each other. I'd see a family of four, tops, being comfortable.
But... let's be real. This place screams "romantic getaway." Picture this: You and your significant other, sipping wine on the *balcony* (yes, there's a balcony!), watching the sunset. Arguably, the best part of staying there. You might even catch a glimpse of a wedding party on the horizon, a boat slowly going by, or a flock of birds flying to where I wouldn't know, but they look elegant doing it.
I guess what I'm saying is... if you're traveling with kids, it's perfectly *fine*. But if you're looking for romance... this is the place to be. Just saying.
Okay, the sofa. You mentioned something about the sofa. What's the big deal? It's just a sofa, right?
Oh, the sofa. Okay. This is where I might get a little...overly enthusiastic. Yes, it's just a sofa. *But*. It's the kind of sofa that makes you want to curl up with a good book (or, you know, binge-watch TV – let's be honest, I did both). It's that perfectly squishy, yet supportive kind of sofa. The kind you *sink* into, in the best possible way. It's like being hugged by a cloud, but a cloud with good posture.
I may or may not have spent an entire afternoon just … *existing* on that sofa, gazing out at The View. It's a memory that I will be replaying in my mind for a long while. I even took a nap on it. I almost didn't want to do anything else. It's *that* good. In fact... yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and call it a significant selling point. Don't underestimate the power of a good sofa, people!
Is it actually clean? I've stayed in 'luxury' apartments before, and well... let's just say 'luxury' wasn't the word I'd use.
Oh, I *hear* you on this one. Cleanliness is paramount. No one wants to spend their vacation scrubbing toilets. And trust me, I *love* a good clean bathroom. (I'm not even kidding, I judge a place by its bathroom.)
So, the good news is, yes, it was *remarkably* clean. Everything sparkled. Not a speck of dust in sight. Showers? Spotless. Kitchen? Impeccable. The cleaning staff clearly takes their job seriously. I was genuinely impressed. They even had those little hotel-y touches, like extra towels and soaps that smelled nice, but not overwhelmingly so. I'm a bit of a neat freak, and I didn't find a single thing to complain about. That's a major win in my book.
What about the location? Is it easy to get around? What's nearby?
Okay, this is always a tricky one. "Easy to get around" in Lagos? Let's just say it's an adventure. Traffic is legendary, like, "traffic can eat up your entire afternoon" legendary.
Having said that, it's in a pretty good location. Access to major roads is decent, so you can *eventually* get where you need to go. Taxi apps work well, which is a godsend. As for "nearby"... depends on your definition. There are restaurants and some shops within a reasonable distance. But you'll likely spend a good chunk of time in transit. So, plan accordingly. Pack snacks. Download podcasts. And most importantly, be patient. Oh, and good luck getting around during the rainy season! You'll need it.
Any major downsides? Be brutally honest!
