Breakfast
The Club House and the Bistro were spotlighted for their better food and service compared to other breakfast spots within the resort. However, some guests felt rushed and observed slow restocking towards the end of the breakfast period. Overall, while there are commendable aspects like attentive service and particular food items, there is significant feedback suggesting room for improvement in terms of variety, quality and the overall breakfast experience to truly match the resort's luxury rating.
Dinner
However, there were several criticisms. Many guests felt that the dining options were limited and repetitive with calls for more variety in the menus. The Bistro's decor and layout received negative feedback, as did the service; some guests encountered long wait times and less-than-friendly staff. The quality of food at the Bistro also varied with some finding it poor and below expectations, particularly given the prices charged. Additionally, the on-site restaurant's offerings often fell short, especially in comparison to better experiences at nearby eateries outside the village.
In conclusion, while Boavista Golf & Spa - Bela Colina Holidays offers a few dining gems with delicious and affordable food, there's room for improvement in menu variety, restaurant decor and customer service to ensure a consistently high-quality dining experience.

A significant number pointed out that the beds were comprised of single mattresses pushed together, often resulting in a gap in the middle that could affect comfort. There were also remarks about the beds being a bit hard or having mattresses that were too firm for some guests' tastes. The use of separate sheets instead of a plush duvet and the lack of double beds in some rooms were minor inconveniences for some.
Additional comments touched on the sofas, which were described as not very comfortable and, in some cases, worn down. This was noted particularly when the sofa bed served as additional sleeping accommodation.

Wi-Fi
Spa
However, some aspects of the spa may require attention. While the spa itself is considered outstanding, there are comments about it being somewhat outdated and needing better control, particularly regarding noise and crowd management. Booking issues also come up frequently with guests needing to reserve their time at the spa in advance, which can be inconvenient. Despite these minor setbacks, the spa area remains a significant feature that adds to the overall appeal of the accommodation.
Access to the spa is often included with the room, although there are mentions of additional fees for some services and facilities. The gym, which is part of the spa complex, also receives mixed feedback, particularly regarding its distance from the rooms and how quickly it fills up. Nevertheless, the heated pool and comfortable amenities contribute to an overall relaxing and enjoyable spa experience at the Boavista Golf & Spa - Bela Colina Holidays.
Gym
However, several guests mention that access to the gym is not straightforward and comes with an extra cost of 7 Euros per visit.

There are also specific mentions of the fantastic views from the poolside, including sights of Lagos Bay, which further adds to the appeal.
For families, the accommodations are noted as being kid-friendly with children allowed to jump and play in the pool areas. However, some reviews pointed out that the pool area can become noisy and chaotic during peak times, especially with children running around.
A few minor concerns were noted regarding the extra costs for using the indoor heated pool and occasional issues with pool heating consistency.

Tennis
Parking
For those staying in the villas or duplex apartments, parking right at the doorstep was a significant perk. This feature was particularly valuable for those looking to explore the area, as it allowed for easy loading and unloading of luggage. The parking spaces, although sometimes described as small, were generally deemed comfortable and sufficient for the needs of visitors.
However, a few reviews highlighted inconveniences, such as occasional difficulties in finding a spot or the parking spaces being too small. Some also noted that while parking was mostly straightforward and convenient, it could sometimes be tedious or inconvenient. Despite these minor concerns, most guests found the parking situation satisfactory and saw it as a positive aspect of their stay.

5 Star
Reviewers frequently mention that the bed comfort is not what one would expect from a five-star accommodation. There are also critiques regarding the minor rustling from the wind and air inside the rooms, which can be distracting. Cleanliness is another area of concern with some guests noting the presence of ants and sporadic towel and product replenishment.
The breakfast service receives mixed reviews with many feeling that it falls short of five-star quality both in variety and staff assistance. The La Bistro restaurant service at breakfast has been described as subpar, further fueling dissatisfaction with the dining experience. The indoor pool and other facilities have also been noted to be in a condition that is not reflective of a high-end resort.
On the positive side, the establishment is appreciated for its comfort and spaciousness and some guests find it comparable to other esteemed five-star hotels like Sheraton or Hilton but at a fraction of the price. Despite these praises, many guests believe the resort aligns more closely with a four-star experience due to the quality standards not being consistently met.
In summary, while Boavista Golf & Spa - Bela Colina Holidays offers a comfortable and spacious stay with some luxurious amenities, it seems to miss the mark in several areas that are critical to a genuine five-star experience, making it feel more like a high-end four-star resort.
Heated Pool
Outdoor Pool
Indoor Pool
However, some logistical challenges are noted. The indoor pool is a considerable distance from the villa area and requires advance reservations, which some guests found difficult. The indoor pool, at times, is not included in the accommodation package and additional fees may be required to access it. Despite these restrictions, the beautiful and relaxing indoor pool facilities, alongside the numerous outdoor amenities, make it a well-rounded destination for a comfortable stay.
Luxury
The spa area stands out for its beauty and luxurious ambiance, adding to the overall feeling of wealth and luxury. Additionally, the resort features a luxury urbanization that offers every possible luxury detail, making it a truly luxury place to stay. The staff reflect the hotel's high-end standing, contributing to an atmosphere of absolute luxury.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, a few guests noted areas for improvement, such as the water pressure being low in bathrooms and the absence of amenities like hotel slippers, combs and toothbrushes, which they expect from a five-star establishment. Some reviews also mentioned that certain aspects do not fully align with a 5-star rating, labeling it as a so-called 5-star in some opinions.
Overall, Boavista Golf & Spa - Bela Colina Holidays delivers a luxurious retreat with a sophisticated level of service and amenities, making it an affordable luxury option in Lagos.
