Cascade Wellness and Lifestyle Resort

We had a pleasant stay at Cascade Wellness Resort in Lagos. The location is beautiful, close to the cliffs and coastal walks, and it's a great base for exploring the Algarve if you have a car.

The service was consistently good, with friendly and helpful staff throughout our stay. The heated pool was a nice touch, and the rooms and grounds were well maintained.

The main downside was breakfast. While the food selection was good, having to wait for a table on some mornings was disappointing. For a resort that markets itself as a luxury property, this shouldn't really happen. And also check in should have been better

The resort itself is fairly quiet, with limited activities on-site, so it's best suited to guests who plan to spend most of their time exploring the area.

Overall, a good resort with excellent service and facilities, but a few details keep it from feeling truly five-star.

Upon arrival all staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. We booked through a travel agent who, no idea what they were thinking, booked us an “apartment”. My first instinct was to change that because who needs a kitchen on vacation but since it had laundry it sounded like a good idea as we were in the middle of an almost 6 week trip. Big mistake. The apartments are quite a ways from the main hotel. The apartments are so big the air conditioning was in affective. So it was too hot to sleep. Secondly the “laundry was just a washer no dryer so that was useless to us as well. The kitchen is fitted out with everything you would need if you were on a budget vacation with the kids and planned to cook. Mind you there were no kitchen towels or paper towels. The bathroom was horrible with a deep whirlpool tub as the only showering facility. Oh, no tv in the bedroom.

We spent our second day in Lagos repacking and changing rooms.

We room was among the nicest on this trip. What a difference. Modern, pool/ocean view. Things were looking up until we went to the on-site gastronomy restaurant, for my birthday dinner, and had the worst experience. Service was slow and in attentive to us. Others all around were served at a proper pace. We had the appy, some oysters and then nothing. Waited so long, and it got very cold out so we were freezing, that the wine we ordered for dinner was long gone and food still hadn’t arrived. Eventually we just stormed out. Never. Never have I had such horrible service (maybe I have lets be real here) but it was so disappointing. On the positive room service arrives hot every time with the most gracious staff!

Overall if you want a resort this is a great place. if you are travelling to see the area it’s not the best location. Too far from Town, beaches and restaurants.

Absolutely fantastic week at Cascade Wellness, it exceeded my expectations. My first point is about the main pool, it was so quiet and absolutely no rushing for a bed. People come and go but always lots of beds available with umbrellas. Breakfast was excellent, everything you could wish for and a very high quality. We didn’t have evening means as we went out each night but bar food and cocktails were great.

Great staff, really friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Our room was a one bed apartment and was perfect, kitchen facilities had everything if you were going to cook. My small comment would be a little maintenance outside on the balcony with the paint work. The rest of the resort immaculately maintained.

A lovely peaceful location and only 15 walk into the old town but we did also grab a few Ubers as it was hot. The beach being about 10 mins (uphill on the way back) is stunning, clear sea and lovely views. Couple of nice beach bars available there too.

Thank you, we will be back next year.
