Welcome to Clear Essence California Spa and Wellness Resort at No. 13 Alexander Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, located in the serene and affluent Old Ikoyi residential area within a lush manicured garden setting, surrounded by soothing waterfalls and garden music to complete the ambiance. The resort was opened to fill the void for a local resort within the Lagos metropolis where corporate executives can escape the frenetic pace, unwind, rest and recuperate. The spa and wellness resort is a 5-star property, with an exquisite dining facility, gymnasium, yoga and pilates exercise studio, 10 spa treatment rooms and aqua center. We offer a highly secure environment to ensure your privacy with friendly but discreet hospitality.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
The room was okay. The bed was comfortable. There was a jacuzzi in the bathroom which made for extra relaxation. There was also a lot of space in the bathroom so you could actually sit there and think or read, or have a personal time if there's someone else in the room.
The fragrance in the facility was really soothing and relaxing. There are sit-outs (little huts) surrounded by plants and equipped with fans so it stays cool and keeps you feeling quite in touch with nature.
The environment just aids your creativity. The trees, the water works (little spring replicas) footpaths, and garden effect help you almost forget the hustle and bustle of Lagos.

We stayed here based on convenience and took on board the reviews which seemed acceptable at face value.
Unfortunately it was a horrible experience, the place lacked in so many areas.
The room had giant ants. The bathroom had no blind or curtains, the room was dark and depressing. It is set in natural beautiful gardens which are pleasant but that’s the only redeeming feature. The food was abysmal very poorly cooked with zero taste and it was expensive.
Staff were cold and lacked that professionalism which you’d expect in a hotel. This is nowhere near 5 stars.

Dear Guest Tia Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are very sorry for any inconvenience the overall hotel services may have caused you. It is our goal to consistently provide superior service and accommodations and thus your comments are very important to us. The feedback we receive from our valued guests, like you, enables us to target problem areas and take the necessary actions to ensure similar situations can be avoided in the future. I have taken up the matter strongly with the concerned department and same time would like to inform you that you have choose some of false words in your review. Please allow me to correct them first. There were NO giant ants in our any of room, our all the bathrooms are equipped with wooden door and all bathroom windows are fixed with modern blinds hence no need of using curtains. I believe there was no complaint in food too because I was the first manager who met you during breakfast at restaurant and you were very satisfied with our food and services till breakfast time. But unfortunately you wrote completely opposite review here. As per as my meeting with my HODs on same day, you have not given travel history and you gave wrong information about your past seven day’s temperature record. Thanks for appreciating our garden service. Once again, we appreciate you taking the time to share your comments with us. Assuring you of our best attention at all times, Regards Dinesh Sharma General Manager

An awful hotel, certainly not 5 star. The services are below par and the rooms are not cleaned properly. We stayed here for 3 days we were due to stay for 7 but it was too much like torture. The sound proofing is poor, the food is mediocre and the overall sense is a money grabbing operation with disinterested owners/ managers. The only plus is the gardens. The 5 star rating is a joke, This place is ran by dishonest people, additional charges taken, wrong orders given delays in food service, low quality and overpriced. Breakfast was like a case study in how not to present food - totally underwhelming. Be prepared for outrageous responses from Managers who cannot accept their place is sub par so they lie. Not a place for discerning customers.

This hotel is a decent and a serene boutique hotel that shuts out the usual bustle of Lagos. We came here to unwind for a nights stay and were well received. Nelson is a great guy who attended to us very professionally and courteously. We enjoyed the dinner options, the seafood platter was just it! The great meal, full body massage and a warm bath in the jacuzzi all made for a perfect night stay!

No no no I not advise anyone to live there. it is just a building. no lift no swimming pool. what type of hotel is this? People at hotel are very rude. Asks money every time. After cleaning my room one of staff asked in very low sound - anything for me? Later I gave him $10. Room was quite big in size but night was horrible. It was not sound proof. I heard sex moaning all the night. I felt next door couple took viagra. No breakfast buffet at all. I waited for Spanish omelet for around 30 minutes. When I tried to call the manager. No manager. Worst hospitality in Lagos. Do not know how and why people said it top class hotel or five star rating place. I and my hubby extremely disappointed with this hotel. Full of mosquitos, restaurant was empty and service was very late. We got dinner after one hour and thirty minutes delay. We are completely disappointed with this hotel or someone’s house, may be house of big man. Please avoid this hotel. Later we went to another hotel on much lesser money. Sorry I want to rate it zero score but don't have option.

Maintenance may be an issue but the concept is definitely great. It's unbelievable that such serenity exists right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Lagos. You lose track of time and don't remember what date it is. If you need to get away and just relax. Then it's a yes. Channel selection and menu for lunch and dinner may not get the same great ratings. Breakfast was however a decent spread. I would go back again.

I was surprised to find a hotel in Nigeria that was so good, and that made me very comfortable. Its location on a main avenue, makes its access easy, though we nearly missed its entrance from the main road. Its design is nice, the rooms are clean. I faced 2 minor problems: -I had a problem with the hot water as it needed 20 mins to become hot. When asked for service, the maintenance guy told me that my room was at the end of the line and it was normal. -The generator of the hotel was very close to my room and it was noisy when it was on.
Breakfast is good, the restaurant as well. i particularly enjoyed the lamb chops. Then you can get to relax in the amazing garden they have. Unfortunately, i didn't get to try the spa. Most probably next time. Would recommend it for sure.
