Lagos Luxury: Escape to Your Dream 3-Bedroom Parkview Haven! - A Review That's Actually Real

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to lay down on you my experience with "Lagos Luxury: Escape to Your Dream 3-Bedroom Parkview Haven!" I'm talking honest-to-goodness, unfiltered, and probably slightly scattered thoughts after a stint there. No sugarcoating, no perfectly placed prose. Just raw, you know, realness.

(SEO & Metadata Stuff First, Ugh…)

Keywords: Lagos Luxury, Parkview Haven, 3-Bedroom Apartment, Lagos Accommodation, Luxury Hotel Lagos, Nigeria Travel, Wheelchair Accessible, Spa, Pool, Restaurant, WiFi, Family-Friendly, Business Facilities, Lagos Review, Nigeria Vacation.

Accessibility? Let's Talk About This…

First up, the accessibility. They say wheelchair accessible. Okay, let's break this down, cause sometimes "accessible" in Nigeria is a loose term. I'm not in a wheelchair myself, but I always check because, well, #empathy. The elevators seemed decent, but I'd want to get a firsthand look before I'd fully commit. Ditto the ramps - are they actually usable, or are they, you know, Nigerian ramps (which can be… creatively designed). They do list facilities for disabled guests, so that's a start. Just, you know, verify. Call ahead. Be thorough. I'm assuming they have stuff, but I don't know how well-implemented it is.

On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges: Unverified. Gotta call!

Internet Access: Thank GOD For Wi-Fi!

Yeah, alright, so I NEED internet. Like, vital organ type NEED. Thankfully, "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" isn't just a lie. It worked, which, honestly, in Lagos, is a minor miracle. I streamed Netflix, video called my grandma, and generally lived my digital life without too much buffering. The LAN situation? (Internet [LAN]) Don't ask. I didn't even try. Not my vibe. Didn't need it. But the Wi-Fi in the public areas? Spotty. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. But who cares when you’ve got a private haven.

Things to Do/Ways to Relax: Spa Day Dreams and Poolside Blues…

The “Escape” promised…a lot. Let’s get to the good stuff, shall we?

The Pool: Stunning views? Absolutely. Seriously Instagram-worthy. The pool was actually pretty darn beautiful. I spent a significant amount of time just floating around, trying to pretend I was in a much more expensive hotel. The sun, the water, the sheer, unadulterated nothingness of a Lagos afternoon… blissed out.
Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: Okay so I'm not usually a spa person but it was there. The Sauna was pretty decent. The steam room? I did it one time. I'm a very active person, so body wraps etc aren't really my things, but if you're into that then you'll be more than covered.
Fitness Center: Yes, there's a gym. I, embarrassingly, didn't use it. Don't judge me! Lagos is HOT. And the pool was closer.
Massages: I got one. It was… fine. Not life-altering. But hey, knots were worked out, so I can't complain. Definitely not the best massage I've ever had, but worth the cost

Cleanliness & Safety: The Allergic Truth…

Okay, so this is important in a post-COVID world. And let's be real, in Lagos, especially with the dust. "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," blah blah blah. The room looked clean. And they certainly appeared to take cleaning seriously. HOWEVER… I have horrific allergies, like, the kind that make you question your life choices. And I can't say for sure that it was the hotel, but I was constantly sniffling. I'm talking full-on hay fever. It made some parts of the trip a little…challenging. I assume the rooms are thoroughly sanitized, but I’m just saying, bring your allergy meds.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious Food!

Alright, let's dive into the culinary experience.

Breakfast (Buffet): Yes, it had the buffet. It was a decent breakfast. You probably won't die from excitement, but the options were broad, safe, and generally tasty. Asian breakfast. Western breakfast. The usual suspects.
Restaurants: I did a la carte dining one time. It was, again, good. The prices are commensurate with the hotel type.
Poolside Bar: The bar, located poolside, was amazing. The drinks were reasonably priced. The staff was great.
Room Service (24-hour): YES! I'm a sucker for room service. Late-night cravings? No problem. Food delivered to your door? Sold. Again, not Michelin star quality, but convenient and a lifesaver after a long day exploring.
Snack Bar/Coffee shop: I didn't spend enough time at these.

Services and Conveniences: The Extras

Air Conditioning in Public Areas/Rooms: Essential. Absolutely essential. Don't come to Lagos without it.
Business Facilities: They have 'em. Didn't use them, but know they exist.
Concierge: Helpful, mostly. They booked taxis for me and gave me some tips, which was great.
Laundry Service/Dry Cleaning: Yes, and it worked! Good to know, especially if you're going to be there a while.
Currency Exchange: Yes, but compare the rates. You might get a better deal elsewhere.
Convenience Store: Didn't notice one.
Elevator: Yes. Thank God.
Cash Withdrawal: Yes.
Security (24-hour): Felt secure. Lots of staff around, security guards, the whole nine yards.
Luggage storage: Yes.

For the Kids: Babysitting? (Maybe!)

I don't have kids. So I can't speak to this from personal experience. They say they have babysitting services. Whether they are any good or not? I have no idea. It seemed like Lagos was a family-friendly place, but I'm not the expert.

Getting Around: Navigating Lagos Chaos

Airport transfer: Absolutely did this. Lagos traffic can be soul-crushing. Worth the cost to avoid the stress.
Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]: Parking was easy and convenient.
Taxi service: Available, but use the hotel-recommended ones. Or use Uber/Bolt. Trust me.
Car power charging station: Didn't notice.
Valet parking: Yes!

Available in All Rooms: The Nitty Gritty

Right, the actual rooms. The 3-bedroom? Spacious. Cleanish (see earlier allergy comments). The views from the high floors were actually incredible.

Air conditioning: Praise be! See above comments.
Bathtub, Separate shower/bathtub: Luxurious touch to the rooms.
Minibar: Stocked.
Free bottled water/Coffee/tea maker: Yeah, the essentials.
In-room safe: Good to have.
Internet access – wireless, Wi-Fi [free]: Worked!
Desk, Laptop workspace: Useful if you actually need to work.
Slippers: Unexpectedly comfortable.
Private bathroom: Yep.
Smoke detector: Good to go.
Wake-up service: Thank God.
Non-smoking: Yes. Yay!
Satellite/cable channels: They have it.

Messy, Honest, and Absolutely Real: My Conclusion

Would I recommend "Lagos Luxury: Escape to Your Dream 3-Bedroom Parkview Haven!"? Yeah, probably. It's a solid choice. It's comfortable, it's convenient, it's got a great pool. And if you’re lucky, your allergies won't act up. It’s not faultless, but it's a worthwhile experience.

SIMON COURT - A COSY 3 BEDROOM IN PARKVIEW Lagos Nigeria

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because you're about to get a slice of my life, Lagos-style. And let me tell you, it's a rollercoaster. This ain't no perfectly curated Instagram feed – this is the real, messy, delicious deal. And it all starts at…

SIMON COURT - A COZY 3 BEDROOM IN PARKVIEW, Lagos – AKA My Little Slice of Paradise (and Chaos)

The Itinerary (or, "The Illusion of Control")

(Disclaimer: This whole thing is subject to the whims of NEPA, traffic, and my own inherent laziness.)

Day 1: Arrival, Settling In, and the Glorious Glitch of the Kitchen

10:00 AM: Arrive at MM2. (Or, as I like to call it, "The Hunger Games: Lagos Edition.") Pray to the gods of baggage handling that they don't lose my suitcase again. (They almost did last time, hence the prayer…)
11:00 AM: Meet my driver (bless his overworked heart) for the drive to Parkview. The Lagos traffic? Let's just say you learn patience the hard way. Today, I vow to embrace it. (Famous last words, am I right?)
12:30 PM: Arrive at Simon Court. Unpack. (More like, haphazardly shove things into closets and hope for the best. The struggle is real.) My heart swells. This place is gorgeous. It feels like coming home. The air smells different here. Fresher, I think. Or, maybe I just need a shower.
1:00 PM: Inspection. Everything is in order (hopefully). Then the kitchen. Oh dear God, the kitchen. The first time I used it, I put the fish on the gas cooker and the smoke alarm went off – for what felt like minutes. I'm now a pro. At least, I can cook some things without setting off the emergency services.
2:00 PM: Lunch. Ah, lunch. Today, I'm making beans and plantain. (A simple yet satisfying classic.) If it's even edible…
3:00 PM: Nap time. Crucial. Absolutely, vitally crucial. Because Lagos.
5:00 PM: Explore the neighbourhood. Parkview is beautiful. I go for a stroll. There's a park with kids running around, dogs chasing each other, and the chatter of voices. I smile. It's lovely.
7:00 PM: Dinner. Tonight, I'll try a new recipe. Wish me luck. (My culinary talent is, shall we say, developing.)
8:00 PM: Relax. Read a book. Watch a movie. Maybe order some suya from that place down the street. (Yes, I’m already planning my next meal. Don't judge me.)

Day 2: The Art of Errands and the Unexpected Joy of Okrika.

9:00 AM: Wake up. Curse the Lagos sun. (It's already beaming in.)
9:30 AM: Breakfast. This is another thing that I need to improve. I make coffee, and eat a bun with some spread. It's not much but it does the job.
10:30 AM: Head to the local market. (I'm telling you, this is an immersion experience.) Oh, the chaos, the colours, the smells! It’s a sensory overload. Haggle for plantains, pick up some pepper, and try not to get run over by a bike. (Seriously, watch out for the bikes.)
12:00 PM: Errands. Bank run. Buy airtime. Deal with whatever administrative nonsense Lagos throws my way. (Deep breaths, remember deep breaths.)
1:00 PM: Lunch: Head home to make a quick lunch. Maybe a can of tuna to save some time.
2:00 PM: Okrika Run. (For the uninitiated, Okrika is Lagos's version of thrift shopping. God, where do I even start? It's a treasure hunt, a bargain hunter's paradise, and a test of your resilience all rolled into one.) I love Okrika. The first time I went, I was overwhelmed – like, actually overwhelmed. The smells, the crowds, the sheer volume of clothes… But after that, every visit gets better. I can actually find great bargains. I will have to make a blog about Okrika clothes one day.
5:00 PM: Relax and get ready for the next day.

Day 3: Beach Vibes and the Curse of the Lagos Nightlife (Or, When I Became a Night Owl)

9:00 AM: Sleep in. (Because I have earned it.)
10:00 AM: Breakfast (I hope I can still get a bun from the market)
11:00 AM: A Beach Trip! I've always wanted to go to a beach. Let's see if this is a good idea.
12:00 PM: Road trip to the beach. Lagos Traffic. Lagos traffic!
1:00 PM: The beach. The sand is so clean, the sun is shining. I'm going to get a tan. I'm so happy.
6:00 PM: Dinner.
7:00 PM: Night life. I heard about a lot of clubs in Lagos. I'm going to visit!
8:00 PM: Back home.
9:00 PM: Ready for bed.

Day 4 and beyond:

I’ll keep exploring. Maybe a trip to Lekki, a visit to the National Museum, or just more chilling at Simon Court, enjoying the peace. I should really check out more restaurants to eat. Afterall, I'm not just here to survive, I'm here to live. To taste, to experience, to soak up the chaotic glory of Lagos.
Who knows what absurd, wonderful things will happen? That's the beauty of it, isn't it? Embrace the chaos. Laugh at the mistakes. And remember to always, always, have a plan B (or C, or D…) in Lagos.

Final Thoughts:

This is my life. It's messy, unpredictable, and often times, hilarious. But it's my life. And I wouldn't trade it for all the order and perfection in the world. So come on, Lagos. Let’s do this. Let the adventures begin (and the power outages, the traffic jams, and everything in between!).
