Just great: hospitality, food, room, location... Everything nearly perfect. Wie had great times down there. Breathtaking view - cannot be beaten... Lots of Golfcourses within no time, marvellous beaches, Surfing Paradise - what more do you expect? SPA? No problem, included as well. Lagos itself is a lovely town with lots of nice restaurants, boat trips - do not forget people who love to take pictures: you can spend hours...

This proved to be a real find. The hotel has an excelent location overlooking the sea and Praia do Mos beach. Lagos is nearby although one needs a car to get there.

Most people staying at the hotel were couples and perhaps of a certain age although there were some younger couples. There were few families with young children, so it tended to be fairly peaceful.

We had a deluxe room with a lot of space. The standard rooms I understand can be on the small size. We had no air conditioning but that didn't matter as it was in a shady location and faced north. .

There is a requirement to have a specified number of meals if one is staying on a half board basis. Essentially this provides the centre of the evening as the dinners take almost 2 hours - there are 5 courses. This requirement is a bit of a restriction as there are many restaurants in Lagos - some more expensive, some cheaper.

The staff were very helpful with a good command of English.

The only real complaint is that the car park is small so getting out sometimes was a problem.

Would we return? Yes we would.

We only visited the restaurant as it was recommended to us. The location is absolutely superb on a high cliff face overlooking the sea. Like many hotel restaurants, it flattered to deceive. The food looked lovely but was a little bland and uninspiring - not bad, but not up to the surroundings and on the pricey side. Service was friendly but not very competent - if you insist on leaving the wine off the table you need to be attentive enough to top up people's glasses - this didn't bother us too much but infuriated a couple sitting nearby. There are certainly better places to eat in the area, but definitely recommended for a cocktail or coffee in

We spent one night at the Vivenda Miranda attending a wedding. The hotel is in a lovely location and the wedding was fantastic. After reading the reviews about the lack of air conditioning, we rang the hotel and were told that their standard rooms all had air conditioning, therefore we booked a standard room. Our room (number 2) was small and basic, however it was clean and had a balcony with fantastic views of the ocean. The bathroom was tiny and the shower fell off the wall when it was in use. The air conditioning didn't work and we complained 3 times before we were told that it was broken and we were given a fan. As the hotel room was so small, all the fan did was blow hot air around the room. As a result, we did not get much sleep. We complained to the receptionist when we checked out and was very apologetic. She explained her manager was off that day but phoned the manager of their sister hotel, The Cascade. We explained the situation again and were told that they would refund us 20%. We did not feel that this was enough, however we agreed as we did not want to argue and waste anymore of our holiday. We have just returned to the UK and found out that they have only refunded 15%! Charming! It's a real shame about this hotel as it is in a lovely location, however without air conditioning they really should not be able to get away with the prices they charge. We would not return to this hotel and would not recommend it for an overnight stay.
