Iberostar Selection Lagos Algarve

We stayed in this hotel in 2014 and 2018. We absolutely loved it. We felt we had found our ideal retreat. Adults/couples only. It was ideal for that relaxing peaceful break. We couldn’t wait to return. We have just gone to book it again for 2020 and it appears that children are now permitted. What a terrible shame. It certainly doesn’t appear to be a destination hotel for families. I feel sorry for ‘returners’ like ourselves who don’t realise that children are now allowed and the poolside peace has been shattered. Time to book elsewhere....

Just got back from this hotel having stayed there for a week. 1st time in an Iberostar and indeed the Algarve and loved it ( we have been far and wide over the years, just never the Algarve). The hotel is about 35 mins walk from Lagos and a beautiful clean beach is just across the road from this hotel. The hotel itself from the moment we got there was full of friendly helpful staff members. It's modern in design and clean throughout. We went half board ( breakfast and evening meal) and normally we sometimes eat out on day trips, but the food in the hotel was so good we returned for every meal. I have a dairy intolerance, so mealtimes can be difficult, but not here. The head chef took me round the choices each night, ( there were many) warning me off the foods cooked in dairy products. They even got me sorbets from the kitchen for desserts so I wasn't limited to the fruit selections every night. NOTE: Yorkshire and Tetley tea lovers bring your own tea bags and a pint of milk. The tea in the room wasn't for us and we didn't use the Nespresso machine in the room, just the kettle and fridge, (we do this as a matter of course anyway). We brought up a jug of milk from breakfast each day with the head dining room staffs permission who once again was happy to help. The querks of the hotel we didn't find a problem i.e. the bath in the room, reception on the 4th floor (the hotel is on a hill). It's a clever design and the architect really thought about sun position etc. All in all we really enjoyed it, would recommend it and will be coming back.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Iberostar, Lagos in June this year for a week. From the moment we arrived, it was perfect. We were greeted with a glass of champagne whilst we checked in and all our bags were taken to the room for us. The room was perfect overlooking the sea, really spacious and a beautiful balcony that we enjoyed drinks on in the evening. We wanted to book a boat trip and hire a car to do some exploring, the reception were so helpful and booked us onto a great boat trip from Lagos harbour. All the staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The manager, Angel, looked after us wonderfully throughout our stay and made us feel so welcome. I would highly recommend the Iberostar, Lagos and we can't wait to return! Thank you for an amazing holiday!
