Axel's take: 7.6/10
A good Lagos base with standout breakfast, but uneven rooms and plenty of stairs. A sprawling, older 4-star resort in central Lagos, scored for what it is.
NH Lagos Algarve Resort, formerly Tivoli Lagos, is a sprawling, older 4-star resort that works better as a town-and-pool base than a polished beach retreat. We'd choose it for exploring Lagos on foot: the old town and marina are close, while indoor and outdoor pools add downtime options. Recent Expedia, Tripadvisor and Trip.com guests repeatedly praise the breakfast spread and helpful staff, and many report clean, comfortable rooms.
The catch is consistency. Worn rooms, tired corridors and pool-area maintenance recur in reviews, even alongside otherwise happy stays. Its nine-block layout also means stairs and potentially long walks to reception; confirm your room's location rather than assuming an upgrade solves access. Duna Beach Club is off-site and seasonal, with a free shuttle. We'd skip it for contemporary four-star polish or straightforward step-free access.
