Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness rated lower — Guest ratings for accommodation are the lowest of the four categories, and a few reviews note that some rooms – especially in the newer phase – have a cheaper finish.
- Evening dining can disappoint — While breakfasts shine, one guest found the evening menu limited and the meal disappointing. The dining category scores a modest 7/10.
- Car recommended — A few guests mention that a car is needed to get around, especially for exploring the area around Lagos. The resort does offer a shuttle into town when available.
- Ongoing construction — The resort is relatively new, and some areas are still unfinished. This didn't interfere with most stays, but it's worth knowing.
- Price and service value questioned — The 'Price and service' category scores 6/10, suggesting some guests feel the cost is high relative to what's delivered in certain areas.

8.6Verified guest“Excellent cuisine and service in the Senses restaurant. Room service and facilities were good, and the spa at Vivenda Miranda was a highlight. The hotel contact person, Andrea, was professional and helpful in organising activities and excursions.”
8.6Verified guest“The hotel is modern and spotlessly clean, with very hardworking staff.”
8.6Verified guest“As a professional who reviews many 5-star hotels, I was impressed by the professionalism and kindness of the staff, especially for a newly opened property. The food was excellent, the breakfast buffet sumptuous, and the pastry chef even made a birthday cake without being asked. Rooms were spacious with nice amenities. The whole experience was a truly relaxing break in an amazing location – I will definitely return.”
8.6Verified guest“This hotel exceeded high expectations in every way – I recommend it. Everything was very good, a lovely vacation stay. I was given a room with beautiful views of the immaculate pool and the sea beyond. The pool was great, and the breakfast was delicious and superb.”
8.6Verified guest“The restaurant dinners and restaurant staff were outstanding. All staff were very friendly and accommodating.”
8.6Verified guest“We were offered an upgrade to a ground-floor pool-facing room, which was excellent. The breakfasts were superb and well worth the extra. Staff were so friendly and eager to please. The resort is quiet, which suited us perfectly. You would need a car to get around, but we had planned for that and enjoyed the area around Lagos. We didn't dine in the evening at the hotel – not due to any faults, but because friends had recommended other restaurants. We always came back for coffee on the terrace to round off the evening and admire the views. Everything about the hotel is 5-star.”
