When the beach is calling your name, you might want to head down to Elegushi Royal Beach, located 7.9 mi (12.7 km) from central Lekki. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Landmark Beach and Kuramo Beach.
"I had the absolute pleasure of staying five days at the Lagos Marriott in Ikeja, and I can honestly say it was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. From the moment I checked in, the staff exuded warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness that made me feel right at home.
The spa experience was nothing short of amazing — I indulged in both a massage and a facial, and the therapists were attentive, skilled, and incredibly professional. It was the perfect way to unwind and recharge during my stay.
The dining experience was equally exceptional. On my very first night, I dined at Idapo Lounge, and I was thoroughly impressed. The supervisor and waitstaff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Special shout-out to Blessed and Kennedy, who truly made my evening unforgettable. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming.
A special thank you to Kennedy, who not only offered thoughtful food recommendations but also took the time to suggest ways I could explore Lagos and even helped with tips for car service. His genuine care and attentiveness elevated my overall experience — he embodies true hospitality.
Overall, the entire team made my stay world-class. The service, the food, the spa, and the friendliness of everyone I encountered were all second to none. I’m leaving Lagos with wonderful memories and a deep appreciation for the culture, hospitality, and people of Nigeria.
Can’t wait to return!"
