Advantages: sunny!! friendly, relaxed, picturesque Disadvantages: can be a bit too hot, not much shade, constantly people trying to sell daytrips
...on a hotel or resort/holiday destination, is Holiday Watchdog, which tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth on every detail and quetion posible.
PERSONAL TIP:
dont go to the chinese restaurant in the centre of lagos! terrible service, cramped room with tables right beside each other and they laughed at us when we spoke!!!!!
-----MY EXPERIENCE-----
I went to Lagos for a week with my boyfriend last summer. It was a brilliant experience! You pronounce Lagos as Lagosh. The currency is in Euros.
About an hours drive in the bus from Faro airport. Pleasant jouney in the Thomson bus provided. Brief tour involved in this journey as the holiday rep gives details on the area and interesting facts, I still remember that talk to this day.
Lagos seems to thrive on tourism as everything is aimed at tourists. Hotels and appartments...

...a trusted friend that can take you round.
I also would not suggest just getting any hotel to stay in cos some are not reccommended atall. There are a few that are professional and safe but they are very expensive and to me not worth much of what they ask for but at least you won't have to worry about your personal safety. Some are the Sheraton which is not too far from the airport, others are in Victoria Island and Ikoyi, which are nicer areas (close to the beaches) and more posh. I could reccommend Sofitel (Ikoyi), The Moorhouse (Ikoyi), Le Meridian (Victoria Island). There are others but can't remember.

Advantages: It's a very charming holiday destination Disadvantages: On the touristy side... (if this bothers you)
.... Lists can be found at the tourist office, but they will most likely already have approached you on the street!
For hotels and appartments, check a travelguide. According to what I heard, accomodation must be reserved beforehand when going there July/August.
THE BEACHES:
You have the choice between Lagos' very own Meia Preia, a 4km long sandbeach and smaller sand beaches, tucked away between Lagos' characteristic rocks, that provide a stunning view and invite for exploring of the hidden-away grottos. The beaches are clean and rather nice.
HIGHLIGHTS:
I strongly recommend booking a boat trip to the grottos. Take a camera with you and enjoy the breathtaking sights that will be brought to you. Only downside: Not all guides speak good English.
If you are reasonably fit and up for it, book a Kajak tour at the Lagos Surf Centre (Price...

When we booked our holiday to a cabin Norway I made a fundamental error and miscalculated the time it would take to get from Oslo Gardemeon airport to the fjord area of Norway. With a distance of 293km (182 miles) I thought that we could easily cover the more
A flight from Gatwick - the only option for our recent holiday to Bermuda - meant we needed one night's accommodation near to the airport itself, to ensure we had no hold ups on the morning. As we would also need 12 nights parking I scoured the internet more
