Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Carvi Beach Hotel enjoys a superb location close to the beautiful Praia Dona Ana and within a short walk of Lagos' center. Guests consistently praise the breakfast, particularly enjoying it on the terrace with its breathtaking views. The spacious rooms, including the highly recommended junior suites, offer sea view balconies; however, some guests have noted that rooms can sometimes be small and experience noise. The hotel's proximity to the boardwalk also makes it ideal for exploring the area.

beach proximity fresh air breakfast choices outdated photos high price sparse furniture

The breakfast had lots of choices! i thought the french toast was very good. the location is right by a lovely beach. I loved how close it was. rooms have balconies with a partial sea view. it was really nice to sit outside there and breathe some fresh air.

The hotel is old. the photos online are not recent and somewhat misleading, i think. it is very expensive for the quality. it seems more like a hostel. I wasn't expecting that. the furniture in the room looked worn and sparse.

satisfactory location

ocean proximity breakfast spread gym equipment noise disturbance missing tissue unsuitable outlet

the location near the ocean Is fantastic. the breakfast had a beautiful spread with many options. the gym contained well-equipped equipment, i observed several machines. i found this useful for maintaining my workout routine.

noise disturbance from 7am affected my relaxation. the noise came from door claping and housekeepers hoovering. i found NO Kleenex type tissue available in the room. outlets were not suitable for us appliances, specifically for phones and hair dryers.

i loved the location near the walkway along the cliffs and the beach. breakfast was delicious (especially the fresh pastries). i also appreciated the spacious junior suite.

the gym closes early at 8pm and staff asked me to leave during my workout. i found the equipment not well kept with an unpleasant odor. the pool also closes early at 6pm.

mediocre stay with noise issues

loud elevator unresponsive staff

the location was convenient. the beach access were right there.

The noise levels were awful. My room was next to a very loud elevator. the staff never really dealt with any problems i had, which really ruined any chance of me returning.

the breakfast offered many varieties. lili in the breakfast department was very active. she responded quickly to our needs. her cheerful smile I liked.

the man who checked us in seemed like a grumpy sourpuss. he was not at all helpful. i had to give the hotel a deposit to get towels for the pool. returning the towel to get my deposit back was inconvenient.

Acceptable Stay Near the Beach

beach access scenic boardwalk sunrise view missing soap poor drainage limited towels

This hotel is near a beautiful beach. There is a scenic boardwalk right next to the location. The rooftop deck offered fantastic sunrise views. I had easy downtown access via a busline stop right at the hotel.

The bathroom sink in my room did not have soap. I needed to use the shower gel. The water flooded the bathroom floor after I showered because it did not drain properly. The hotel only provides towels once a day.
