Iberlagos Apartments

1 reader found this review helpful

On arrival, the site is not of a modern appearance. However, our accommodation was in block B overlooking the pool and the sea and the setting could not have been more appealing.
We watched the sea in all different lights - the sunrises were magnificent.
Our apartment is privately owned so we had every convenience and comfort. We were very happy with the site - routine 'patrols' (walks round) by the friendly security guards and generally quite quiet.
However, we were out of the main season - September - and it was disappointing that the pool wasn't open.
A few hundred yards walk down to the lovely, sandy beach. Picturesque rock formations and the coastal path.
15 minutes stroll into Lagos centre with its interesting shops and amazing range of restaurants. Try L'Artista - a little more expensive but special.

We stayed in an apartment in Block B at Iberlagos in April 2006 and had a wonderful time.
Although the whole complex does not look overly inviting from the entrance, Block B overlooks the private pool and out over the sea and so offers fantastic views of wonderful sunrises and sunsets and is a great backdrop, if you just want to relax and read or chill out on the veranda.
On most mornings we walked the five minutes along the quiet and sandy beach below to the cliff top cafe, to enjoy breakfast and to admire more of the lovely coastal views that this part of Lagos offers.
Our apartment was clean and welcoming and provided everything we needed for a relaxing holiday - including a DVD player for evenings in!
Instructions were clear about the use of equipment in the apartment and there was a very helpful booklet of information about places in the area to visit that we appreciated.
A short walk into the town provided interesting little streets to explore and again lots of places to stop and have a snack/meal - with more choice than is often found in such areas for vegetarians!! - And to people-watch in a leisurely fashion.
There are lots of bars around and we quite enjoyed the absence of nightclubs - being past that stage!
There is a good supermarket on the edge of the town that met all our self-catering needs and it is open late so that we could call after a day out.
We hired a car and there was lots to see up the coast - we would recommend Cape St Vincent for the views and historical interest and some of the little towns on the way back are still unspoilt and worth stopping off to wander around.
We especially liked Luz and would go back there again. There are some lovely drives into the mountains and when we return - as we most definitely will - this will be something we will do next.
