Barao de Sao Miguel Vacations from $947

DO NOT STAY HERE – AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS! I left my luggage in the hotel's luggage storage before my flight on the evening of July 5, and my Louis Vuitton handbag was stolen. Inside were my passports, laptop, sunglasses, and other valuables. It was the only bag stolen that day, which makes the situation even more concerning. When I discovered the theft, there was no manager on-site to assist. The two employees who helped me, Sachin Kumar and Tiago, were unhelpful and showed very little urgency. Initially, I was told we could review the security camera footage. After waiting for over 1.5 hours, I was then told I could not view the footage and that my only option was to file a police report. When I filed the report, the responding officer told me they receive 2–3 reports like this every week from this hotel. That was incredibly alarming. Based on my experience, I strongly suspect this was an inside job. While I cannot prove that, the circumstances and the lack of transparency left me with very little confidence. I later spoke with the Director, Renato, who was also not helpful. He said he could only meet with me the following morning at 8:30 a.m., after I was already dealing with the aftermath of the theft. I was repeatedly told there was no useful video footage, despite there being visible security cameras in the lobby. Unfortunately, the theft was only part of an already disappointing stay. The rooms were not clean, the staff were unfriendly and slow to respond,

Clean and spacious rooms, staff very friendly and supportive, great location and wonderful views. Bar area could be modernized and hours extended

This is a very good hotel, well situated, comfortable generous rooms, relaxed hotel, lovely pool area and grounds, good options at the buffet, but missing a few nice to have eggs options (poached eggs, omelette). The drinks are of decent quality, and the evening and dsy entertainment was top notch. The restaurant experience was notably lacking personal service and lacked hospitality which seems to have changed since our last visit. Everyone else was courteous and professional and helpful with information or requests. The hotel has changed ownership and lost some local flavour and personality but it is a very comfortable stay while visiting the area.

We stayed here as a family of four (kids 17 & 18). At first it was a little hard to find our apartment without a reception area, but once we did we were very happy with the accommodations. We stayed in a two bedroom. The unit had two balconies on the second floor. One overlooking the pool and one looking out towards the city. The unit was clean with a big bathroom with a shower. One room had a double/queen sized bed and the other two singles. The primary bedroom had a safe for valuables. The kitchen has a refrigerator, stove top, microwave and oven. The unit has a washing machine and a drying rack. It also had three air conditions that kept unit cold. The hotel is in walking distance to both the Praia Don Ana and Ponte De Piedade and old town both within a mile. The Casbah restaurant in the hotel has delicious food and drinks. You can lay by pool and they will bring the drinks you ordered out to you. The main gentleman at Casbah is friendly and provides great service. I would definitely stay here again if in the area. I loved how spacious and well appointed the unit was, the beautiful and large pool area and how it is within a mile to all the great sites in Lagos! And the delicious restaurant attached to the hotel. Thank you Giramar for a great and relaxing stay!
