Luxury Lekki Oasis: Stunning 1-Bed Apartment Awaits!
Luxury Lekki Oasis: Stunning 1-Bed Apartment Awaits! - A Real Review (Finally, Something That Isn't Bland!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to give you the real deal on Luxury Lekki Oasis. Forget the generic, copy-and-paste reviews. I’m here to spill the tea, the coffee, and maybe even a little bit of that complimentary bottled water they offer, because frankly, this place deserves it. Let's be honest, finding a legit nice place in Lekki that doesn't feel like a glorified airbnb is a feat in itself. This one, though? Actually good.
First Impressions & Accessibility (or, Can Anyone Actually Get There?)
Right, so… getting to Lekki can be a bit of a zoo. Traffic, traffic, and more traffic. But hey, the hotel offers an airport transfer (thank the gods!) which is a massive stress reliever. Saves you wrestling with those Lagos taxi drivers (no offense, fellas, but I’ve seen things). Finding the place itself was surprisingly easy. And once you're in, the elevator - yes, an elevator! - is a game changer. This is huge for accessibility, and honestly, after lugging my luggage up a million stairs in other places, it’s a beautiful, glorious thing. They claim to have facilities for disabled guests, though I didn’t personally need them. But seeing the elevator and the general layout, I’m inclined to believe they've put some thought into it. They also have a car park [free of charge] and on-site car park. Pretty standard but still a plus, especially near the bustling Lekki.
The Apartment: My Home Away From… Well, Not Home, But Still Pretty Darn Good.
Let's talk about the 1-Bed Apartment. Stunning? Okay, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic, but it was genuinely nice. Clean. Modern. Air conditioning that actually worked. (This is important. Trust me.) The Wi-Fi [free] was solid, which is vital. I need my internet fix, you know? My work literally relies on it. And the Internet access – wireless was reliable. Also, Internet access – LAN (for the super techy among us, I guess).
The details? Well, they mattered. A plush bathrobe to lounge in after a long day. Blackout curtains. Free bottled water (hallelujah!). A coffee/tea maker. Complimentary tea. Basic stuff that makes a huge difference when you’re travelling. The in-room safe box was there (I'm paranoid, so a necessity) and the mini bar, oh my. Sadly, I'm on a tight budget, so barely touched it. The refrigerator, though? Used constantly. And the desk was perfect for all my work. It's all the little things, you know?
Sleep & The Quiet Life (or, Can I Actually Get Some Rest?)
The room was soundproof, and the soundproofing was surprisingly good. I’m a light sleeper, and I managed to get a decent night’s rest, which is a rare thing in many hotels. The extra long bed made snoozing a joy. The Daily housekeeping - a true blessing. Someone making my bed every day? Luxury.
Cleanliness & Safety (Because, You Know, We Care)
This is HUGE right now. And honestly, Luxury Lekki Oasis nailed it. Anti-viral cleaning products, rooms sanitized between stays, daily disinfection in common areas, professional-grade sanitizing services… the whole shebang. It felt safe. More than safe. They even offer room sanitization opt-out available, which in these times is important. They had hand sanitizer everywhere. The staff were all wearing masks and seem to be following protocols. You know how sometimes you can just feel when a place is cutting corners? Not here. They’re taking it seriously. I saw a fire extinguisher, smoke alarms and security [24-hour].
Dining & Drinking (Let's Eat, Lagos Edition!)
Okay, the food. This is where things get… interesting. They’ve got a restaurant, several actually. The restaurants offer a la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine, International cuisine, Vegetarian restaurant, Western cuisine. The Breakfast [buffet] was decent. Standard fare, but the coffee was decent. The Poolside bar was a nice touch, but I didn't actually go to the pool cause, you know, work. They also have room service [24-hour]. The Happy hour drinks were… happy.
The Relaxation Station (Or, How to Pretend You're on Vacation)
They've got a swimming pool [outdoor] with a pool with view. I didn't use it, I was far too busy. They also have a fitness center (ugh, exercise). The Spa/sauna and the Steamroom were tempting, but again, no time. A massage? Maybe next time. They have all the ingredients of the relaxation station, if you're into that sort of thing.
Services & Conveniences (Because Life Needs to Be Easy)
The doorman. Love a doorman. Makes me feel important, even if I'm not. They have a concierge, who was super helpful with some local recommendations. They also have cash withdrawal, a convenience store, laundry service, and dry cleaning. Cashless payment service is another plus. Daily housekeeping was a godsend. They also have luggage storage which is a bonus.
For the Kids (Or, Is It Family-Friendly?)
I don’t have kids, but they have babysitting service and kids facilities. So, yeah, it's family/child friendly.
Getting Around (Or, Navigating Lagos Chaos)
They have Airport transfer (again, lifesaver!), a taxi service, and valet parking. Getting around Lagos isn't easy, but they've made it as painless as possible.
The Downsides (Because Nothing's Perfect)
Okay, so… here comes the honesty. Nothing is perfect.
The location can be a bit noisy at times. But, hey, it’s Lagos. A city that never sleeps, right?
The breakfast, while decent, could be a bit more exciting.
They don't allow pets, if you're looking for a hotel to accommodate your furry friends.
Overall Verdict (Would I Go Back?)
Absolutely. Luxury Lekki Oasis is a solid choice. It’s clean, comfortable, safe, and has all the amenities you need, and more. It's a place that cares about its customers. It's the kind of place where you actually feel relaxed and not like you're staying in a generic hotel. It’s not perfect, but it’s damn good.

Manila Staycation: Unbelievable Happiness Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercup. This isn't your average, sterile travel itinerary. This is a dive into the beautiful mess that will be my Lekki, Nigeria adventure. And, honestly? I'm already a little stressed and ridiculously excited. Here goes…
Lekki Living: The Honestly-Kind-Of-Chaotic Itinerary (For One Very Disorganized Human)
Pre-Trip Panic & Preparation (aka, the "Is My Passport STILL Valid?" Phase):
Week Before:
- Flights: Booked! (I think I triple-checked everything. Pray for me.) Landing in Lagos, then hopefully a smooth onward journey to Lekki. I’m imagining myself looking all glamorous and relaxed. I KNOW it’ll probably be closer to ‘sweating and slightly panicked.’
- Accommodation: That gorgeous one-bed apartment in Lekki. Photos are stunning. Fingers crossed it looks as good in real life as it does on Airbnb, and that the Internet actually works! (Essential. I need my Instagram validation, okay?)
- Visa: Sorted. Okay, maybe not “sorted.” More like… “applied for and hopefully approved.” The Nigerian embassy website was a nightmare. This is what I'm expecting the whole trip to be like.
- Packing: Uh. Still needs doing. (Procrastination is my middle name.) Mostly I'm thinking, "How many mosquito nets is too many mosquito nets?". Apparently, I'm paranoid.
- Vaccinations/Medications: Done. Or, well, mostly done. One last trip to the doctor for malaria pills. Also, I really hope I remember to pack those. (Priorities, people!)
- Money Exchange: Gotta get some Naira. Hope I don't get completely ripped off. I'm picturing being conned by a charming street vendor. It'll be a learning experience, right?
Day Before:
- Pack (seriously, this time): Okay, I'm going with the 'stuff everything in and hope for the best' approach. Comfort is key. And sunscreen. Loads of sunscreen.
- Charge EVERYTHING: Phone, laptop, portable charger, the works. I'm a tech addict. Without power, I'm a lost cause.
- Try to sleep: (ha.) I'll be too strung out to sleep! I'll be replaying my entire life in my head, trying to find any reason I shouldn't be going.
- Final, frantic double-check: Passport? Check. Tickets? Check. Sanity? …Maybe not.
Day 1: Arrival & Apartment Awe (and maybe a little jet lag meltdown):
- Morning: Fly! Wake up in Lagos (hopefully!). Pray for clear skies and a non-turbulent flight.
- Afternoon: Immigration, baggage claim (fingers crossed my suitcase makes it), and the real adventure begins: getting to Lekki. Will I survive a Lagos taxi? (Probably not. Probably I'll look like a lost tourist in a foreign land).
- Late Afternoon: Arrive at the apartment. OMG, is it even real? (If the pictures are accurate, I'm in for a treat. If not…well, there’s always Netflix.) Check-in, unpack… then collapse on the bed. Probably a nap due to jet lag.
- Evening: Explore the immediate surroundings. Find the nearest shop for essentials. Find some food and maybe a cold drink. (I'm thinking, 'first night dinner' will involve a lot of street food. I hope my stomach doesn't hate me.)
- A thought: Oh god, what if I accidentally order something I can't eat? What if I try something, and just have to go away? My dignity can't handle that.
Day 2: Exploring Lekki & Market Mania:
- Morning: Actually, attempt to find a decent breakfast. The apartment probably offers a coffee maker (thank GOD). If not, well…there's always instant coffee, right?
- Late Morning: Visit Lekki Conservation Centre. (Hopefully, I'll actually make it). Apparently, there's a canopy walkway. I'm terrified of heights, but I want to see the view. This is the kind of thing you do for Instagram, right?
- Afternoon: Head to a local market. (I'm expecting sensory overload. The sights, the smells, the bartering… it's going to be intense.) Prepared to be completely bamboozled by the vendors, but also excited to see what I might find. Maybe some cool souvenirs?
- Anecdote: I'm absolutely terrible at bartering. My negotiating skills are seriously lacking. I'm anticipating paying way too much for everything. I will get ripped off, and probably laugh about it later. It'll be part of the experience.
- Evening: Dinner at a local restaurant with recommendations from the host. (If I survive the market, I'll be starving.) Maybe listen to some local music. Try everything.
- Quirky Observation: I suspect I will spend a lot of time completely and utterly lost in translation. I'm ready for it. (But I'll still be embarrassed.)
Day 3: Beach Day & Lagos Life (aka, the "Do I Really Know Where I Am?" Day):
- Morning: BEACH TIME!!! (This is why I came!). Beach Day at a Lekki or Lagos beach. Sun, sand, waves… absolute bliss.
- Major Imperfection: I hate sand. It gets everywhere. But I'll deal with it for the ocean views, obviously. Sunscreen, sun hat, and a book are essential. Fingers crossed I don't get completely sunburned.
- Afternoon: Head into Lagos (if I'm brave enough). Visit a museum or art gallery (probably one I'll remember to take photos of, this time). Navigate the chaos of the city. Or, you know, just stare slack-jawed at it all.
- Stream-of-Consciousness Moment: Traffic in Lagos is epic. I'm talking 'hours spent in a car' epic. I'll need a good playlist, seriously.
- Evening: Find somewhere with a view. Maybe try some genuine Nigerian food. Hope it's actually as delicious as it sounds. Prepare for cultural differences.
Day 4: The Great Apartment Staycation & Nigerian Cuisine:
- Morning: SLEEP IN! Catch up on some much-needed rest.
- Late Morning: Grocery shopping. (I probably left out all of these essential things.) Get ingredients for a simple meal in the apartment. Learn to cook a basic Nigerian dish. (Or, you know, attempt to.)
- Afternoon: Relax. Read, write, or just sit on the balcony and soak it all in. Embrace the slower pace.
- Evening: Local food again, or cook in the apartment (depending on skill). Learn a few Nigerian phrases. Try to speak them without sounding like a complete idiot.
Day 5: The "Things I Missed" & Departure Prep:
- Morning: Visit anything I didn't get a chance to see. (Oh god, I know there will be something!)
- Afternoon: Souvenir shopping. Hope I have enough money left! Buy gifts (and something for myself, obviously).
- Late Afternoon: Pack. (Again.) Try to organize my things slightly better this time.
- Evening: Final Nigerian dinner. (I'll probably be sad to leave.) Take notes (if I can remember to). Write down some memories. Say goodbye to the beautiful apartment.
Departure Day (and the inevitable post-trip blues):
- Morning: Say goodbye to Lekki. One last look at the city. Travel to the airport. Hope that everything goes to plan this time. Pray for a smooth flight and no delays.
- Afternoon/Evening: Arrive back home. (I'll probably be exhausted, but buzzing). The post-trip blues will hit hard! Start planning my next adventure. (Or, you know, actually, start organizing my life.)
Disclaimers & Extra Ramblings:
- This is highly subject to change. (If I learn anything on this trip, it's to be adaptable.)
- I'm ready to embrace the unexpected. The good, the bad, the ugly.
- I expect to be challenged, overwhelmed, and utterly delighted.
- I'm more than prepared to feel a little lost, a little confused, and maybe even a little scared. But that's half the fun, right? (Right?)
- Above all: I am so excited. This trip, and this experience, is going to be everything. And I cannot freaking wait.
So, there you have it. My probably unrealistic, definitely messy, and wonderfully human itinerary for my Lekki adventure. Wish me luck! And if you see anyone looking utterly bewildered and lost, it's probably me. Come say hi!
Delle Suites General Santos: Your Luxury Getaway Awaits!
Luxury Lekki Oasis: You Asked, I Answered (and Maybe Over-Answered!)
Okay, spill the tea! What's the *real* vibe of the Luxury Lekki Oasis? Is it all Instagrammable perfection, or... ?
Okay, alright, here’s the unvarnished truth, straight from someone who’s actually breathed the air (and maybe spilled a little red wine on the pristine white couch… shhh!). The Oasis *is* gorgeous. Like, seriously. You walk in, and your jaw drops. The pictures don't lie – the place is sleek, modern, and has this airy feeling that makes you want to do a little happy dance (which, by the way, I *totally* did). But here’s the thing… and this is where the Instagram-versus-reality divide happens: it's *lived in*. Well, maybe not lived *in* in the way you'd live in a family home, but it shows signs of use. A tiny scratch on the countertop from a dropped phone (oops, mine!), a slightly wonky towel rack (probably my fault, I'm a bit of a brute!), a stray crumb here or there… you know, *life*. Honestly? I found it endearing. It made it feel… human. It wasn't a sterile museum. It was a beautiful space that had seen a little bit of living. That’s kind of what I’m like too, a bit messed up, but still stunning.
The one-bedroom situation. Is it spacious enough for… you know… things? Like, more than just a bed?
Alright, size matters. Let's be real. The one-bedroom is… well, it's a *one-bedroom*. It's not a sprawling mansion. But it *is* cleverly designed. The living area is open-plan, which makes it feel bigger than it probably is. The bedroom is perfect for sleeping, with a good view. There's storage! Believe it or not – I'm a woman, and I traveled with a lot of shoes! The wardrobe space was actually surprisingly decent. I managed to squeeze in a surprising amount of clothes. I like that. You will too. Honestly, if you're planning on doing cartwheels in the living room, you might be pushing it. But for a couple, or a solo traveler who appreciates a little bit of space, it’s absolutely perfect. I’d say it's way better than those tiny hotel rooms where you can barely swing a cat (not that I'd ever swing a cat, I love cats!).
The kitchen! Can you actually *cook* in that kitchen, or is it just for show?
Okay, let’s get to the heart of my biggest drama! The kitchen… ah, the kitchen. On paper, it’s stunning. Top-of-the-line appliances, sleek countertops, the works. My inner foodie was doing a happy jig. That's until… I attempted to cook a fancy pasta... I'm not a great cook, okay? First of all, I couldn’t find the olive oil for the life of me. Then, the oven… I swear, it took me like, an hour to figure out how to turn it on. I almost set the smoke alarm off. And the utensils weren’t exactly top-notch. Listen, I managed, in the end. I made pasta! It was edible! But let's just say, if you're a Michelin-star chef, you might be a little disappointed. However, for simple meals? You're golden. Breakfast, quick lunches, easy dinners – totally doable. Just pack your own basic tools if you are super picky.
How's the location? Is it easy to get around, and is it safe?
Lekki! Okay, location. Here’s my take (and I’m naturally opinionated). It's a mixed bag, but actually, pretty ok. Getting around? Uber and Bolt are your best friends. They're readily available. Traffic can be a beast at peak hours, so plan accordingly. Safety? I felt safe during my stay. The apartment complex had security, and I didn't experience any issues. However, always be aware of your surroundings, especially when you're new to an area. Just common sense stuff, you know? The proximity to shops, restaurants, and nightlife is excellent. Especially if you're a foodie or a shopaholic, or just want a good time. I felt safe walking around during the daytime. The security guys at the gate are amazing.
What are the must-dos nearby? Give me some local secrets!
Okay okay, local secrets! This is where I shine. Prepare for a rapid-fire list: * **Eat:** Go to The Yellow Chilli Restaurant for lunch. The pepper soup is a MUST. Like, don't even argue with me. Just order it. * **Shop:** Check out the Lekki Market. I bought a scarf there that I’m still obsessed with. Bargain hard! * **Explore:** Take a walk along the beach, but go in the morning. The air is fresher. * **Nightlife:** There's a bar called Bay Lounge. It is so much fun. I swear, I made friends there! But be careful not to drink too much. My personal tip? Ask locals for recommendations. They know *everything*. That's how I found the best suya in the city... and a secret rooftop bar with amazing views. (But I promised not to reveal that one!).
Let's get real. Any downsides? Anything you weren't a fan of?
Okay, here's the truth bomb. No place is perfect, right? Here's what I didn't love: * **The Wi-Fi:** It was… a little patchy. Like, "Buffering…" on your Netflix binge kind of patchy. Prepare to tether to your phone if you need a super-reliable connection. * **The Noise:** While the Oasis is generally pretty quiet, you *can* hear some street noise at times. Not crazy loud, but if you're a light sleeper, pack some earplugs. * **The Dryer**: OMG! The dryer was terrible and I could have cried. But honestly? They're small potatoes. The pros far outweighed the cons. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
Would you actually recommend it? Be honest!
Absolutely. A thousand times, yes! The Luxury Lekki Oasis is a fantastic base for exploring the city. The location, the apartment itself, those views... it's a winner. It's comfortable, stylish, and has that certain something. It is a very good pick, And hey, the little imperfections? They make it all the more charming.
