Luxury Redefined: Anjiez Royal Suite's Lagos Oasis Awaits You
Luxury Redefined: Anjiez Royal Suite - Lagos Oasis Awaits You (and Maybe Your Sanity) – A Brutally Honest Review
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea on Anjiez Royal Suite. Forget those polished, PR-approved reviews – this is the real deal, warts and all, because let's be honest, we're all looking for a little bit of paradise, right? Especially in Lagos.
First Impressions & The Accessibility Tango:
Finding the place? Honestly, Lagos is a vibe. Navigating can be an adventure, so thank heavens for the airport transfer! They were prompt, and the driver knew the way (a minor miracle in itself!).
Now, about accessibility… This is where things get a little…complicated. Wheelchair accessibility? They say they have facilities for disabled guests, but I’d recommend calling ahead and getting very specific details. I'm not in a wheelchair myself, but I'm always conscious of these things, and I didn't see any obvious ramps or super-wide doorways. Elevator is a must, though, so that's a plus.
Internet? Oh Honey, They Got You Covered (Mostly):
Let's talk internet. Because, let's face it, in today's world, a bad internet connection is a cardinal sin. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Yes! Internet access – LAN, also yes! The Wi-Fi was generally pretty solid, which is crucial for those of us who can't live without a constant stream of cat videos (or, you know, work). Wi-Fi in public areas? Yep, covered. Overall, a solid internet experience.
The Room - My Personal Oasis (and a Few Hiccups):
My room? Oh, it was gorgeous. Think plush carpeting, a ridiculously comfortable extra-long bed, and those glorious blackout curtains that are a godsend for fighting jet lag. The air conditioning was a lifesaver, especially after a day of Lagos heat. I loved the complimentary tea and the coffee/tea maker – essential for a caffeine addict like myself. The mini bar was tempting, but I'm trying to be good (mostly).
However…a few things. The room decorations were a bit…much. Think "opulent Lagos," which, depending on your taste, could be a good thing. The soundproofing? Not perfect. I could sometimes hear muffled conversations from the hallway. And, okay, I'm going to be honest: I was a little freaked out by the bathroom phone. Who calls from their bathroom?! But hey, at least there was a separate shower/bathtub and fluffy bathrobes.
Cleanliness & Safety - Feeling Secure (Mostly):
Okay, this is important. Cleanliness and safety are paramount, especially now. And Anjiez seemed to take it seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, staff trained in safety protocol – all good signs. I saw them sanitizing everything constantly. They have hand sanitizer everywhere. They even offer room sanitization opt-out available, which I appreciated. They also had smoke alarms and a fire extinguisher, which is always reassuring. CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property made me feel pretty safe.
But, and it's a small but: I did see a bit of a dust bunny under the bed. Gasp! And, while I'm being picky, the toiletries were…adequate. Nothing to write home about.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Food, Glorious Food (and a Few Misses):
Alright, let's talk food. This is where things got really interesting.
Breakfast: The breakfast buffet was a solid contender. They had everything from Western breakfast to Asian breakfast. They also had a breakfast takeaway service which was perfect for those mornings when I was running late. The coffee/tea in restaurant was decent, but nothing that blew me away.
Restaurants: They have a few restaurants, including a vegetarian restaurant (yay!). I tried the Asian cuisine in restaurant, and it was pretty good. I also had a meal in the Western cuisine in restaurant, and it was a bit bland for my taste.
Other Options: The poolside bar was a must. Sipping a cocktail with a view of the pool was pure bliss. They had a snack bar, which was convenient for a quick bite. The room service [24-hour] was also a lifesaver on a couple of nights, especially when I was too exhausted to go out. The bottle of water was a nice touch, especially with the heat.
The Little Annoyances: The salad in restaurant was a bit wilted. And, I'm not going to lie, the desserts in restaurant were a little…underwhelming.
Ways to Relax - Spa Day, Anyone? (Yes, Please!)
This is where Anjiez really shines. The spa! Oh, the spa! They had everything: a sauna, a steamroom, and a massage that was pure, unadulterated heaven. I opted for a body scrub and body wrap – pure indulgence. The pool with view was stunning, and the swimming pool [outdoor] was perfect for a refreshing dip. I loved the foot bath after a long day of exploring. I didn't get to try the Fitness center, but it looked well-equipped.
Services & Conveniences - The Good, The Bad, and the Slightly Weird:
The Good: They have a concierge who was incredibly helpful. They offer daily housekeeping and laundry service. The luggage storage was convenient. They have a convenience store on-site, which is always a plus. Cash withdrawal was also available.
The Slightly Weird: I'm not sure I understood the purpose of the shrine, but hey, it's Lagos! The smoking area seemed a little out of place.
The Meh: The dry cleaning service was okay. The gift/souvenir shop was overpriced.
For the Kids - Family-Friendly Fun? (Maybe):
They claim to be family/child friendly, and they have kids facilities. They also offer babysitting service. However, I didn't see anything particularly kid-focused.
Getting Around - Navigating the Lagos Labyrinth:
They offer airport transfer (thank goodness!), taxi service, and valet parking. They also have car park [free of charge] and car park [on-site].
The Big Picture - Would I Go Back?
Okay, here's the deal: Anjiez Royal Suite is a solid choice. It's not perfect, but it offers a luxurious experience with some truly amazing amenities, especially the spa. The rooms are beautiful, the service is generally good, and the location is convenient.
My Honest Opinion:
I'd go back. I'd definitely go back. But I'd also know what to expect. I'd bring my own favorite toiletries. I'd ask for a room away from the hallway noise. And I'd definitely book a massage.
Final Verdict: 4 out of 5 stars (with a heavy emphasis on the spa!)

Escape to Paradise: Guglielmi Guest House, Lecce, Italy
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. We're going to Anjiez Royal Suite in Lagos, Nigeria. Expect less "perfectly curated Instagram feed" and more "real-life chaos." This is my attempt at a travel itinerary, but let's be honest, it's more of a suggestion box filled with my anxieties and questionable life choices.
Anjiez Royal Suite: My Lagos Debrief (Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Jollof Rice)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Lagos Hustle (aka, "Where's My Luggage?!")
- Morning (ish): Land at Murtala Muhammed International Airport. Okay, first impression: humidity hits you like a wet, warm hug. And the noise! A symphony of car horns, hawkers yelling, and what I think might be someone selling live chickens. I swear, I saw a guy with a goat on a bus. Welcome to Lagos, baby!
- The Luggage Debacle: My luggage… well, let's just say it's currently on a romantic getaway to… somewhere. Possibly the Bahamas. I'm pretty sure my favorite pair of socks is currently enjoying a cocktail on a beach. Cue the internal panic. Thank God for the little toiletries bag I packed in my carry-on. Lesson learned: pack a full change of clothes, even if you think you're a minimalist traveler.
- Afternoon: Finally, a driver (hired through a reputable service, I swear!) navigates the legendary Lagos traffic. It's an art form, really. A chaotic, beautiful, terrifying art form. We're talking bumper-to-bumper, weaving, honking, and a general sense of "anything goes." I'm pretty sure I aged five years in that hour-long journey.
- Arrival at Anjiez Royal Suite: Relief! The suite is actually beautiful – sleek, modern, with a balcony overlooking… well, I'm not entirely sure yet, but it's certainly Lagos. The air conditioning is a godsend. I immediately strip down to my underwear, which I'm now wearing as my outfit. My luggage can catch up.
- Evening: Dinner at the hotel restaurant. I'm starving. I order jollof rice. And… holy moly. It's the best jollof rice I've ever tasted. Seriously. I could eat a mountain of it. I'm already obsessed. I consider ordering another plate, but then I remember I haven't brushed my teeth, and I'm pretty sure I still have airport grime on my face. But the jollof… the jollof…
- Night: Attempt to unpack the (nonexistent) luggage. Fail. Fall asleep watching the ceiling fan, dreaming of jollof rice and lost socks. My phone's on its last legs.
Day 2: Exploring Lagos (and the Eternal Search for Wi-Fi)
- Morning: Wake up to the sound of… well, everything. Lagos is a city that never sleeps. Try to find a decent coffee. Fail. Resort to instant coffee and try to look sophisticated. The balcony offers a great view of the city.
- Exploring Victoria Island: My driver (the same patient, long-suffering soul) takes me to Victoria Island. I'm aiming for a bit of culture, a bit of shopping, and a whole lot of air conditioning. The contrast between the vibrant street life and the upscale shops is… well, it's Lagos. It's exhilarating and overwhelming all at once.
- Lunch: More jollof rice. Naturally. This time, from a street vendor. It's… different. But still good. Actually, it's amazing. I'm starting to think I could become a jollof rice connoisseur. I need to remember to take notes. And maybe a Pepto-Bismol.
- Afternoon: Attempt to find decent Wi-Fi. A near-impossible task. I wander aimlessly, asking for Wi-Fi passwords like a lost puppy. Eventually, I find a café with a signal. I post a desperate plea on social media: "Send help (and luggage)."
- Evening: Dinner at a recommended restaurant. It's… okay. Not jollof rice. I'm starting to realize that jollof rice is the true measure of a good meal in Lagos.
- Night: I'm starting to feel homesick. The noise, the chaos, the missing luggage… it’s getting to me. But then I remember the jollof rice. And the resilience of the people. And the sheer, unadulterated energy of this city. I may be a mess, but I'm alive. I order room service (jollof, of course) and try to sleep.
Day 3: Lekki and the Longing for Luggage (And More Jollof)
- Morning: Another day, another search for decent coffee. The hotel breakfast is… adequate. But my thoughts are consumed by the jollof.
- Lekki Peninsula: Today's adventure: Lekki. I hear it's the "posh" part of Lagos. I visit the Lekki Conservation Centre. The canopy walkway is… high. Very high. I'm not great with heights. But the view of the rainforest and the city is breathtaking. The air is different here, fresher. It's a welcome respite from the concrete jungle.
- Lunch: You guessed it. Jollof rice. From a street vendor near Lekki market. It's spicy, flavorful, and I'm starting to think I could write an entire book about it. I take copious notes. Maybe I can start a blog: "Jollof Rice Diaries."
- Afternoon: More shopping. More wandering. More longing for my luggage. I buy a new t-shirt. And a hat. And a pair of sunglasses. I'm basically living out of a gift shop at this point.
- Evening: Farewell dinner. I try a different dish. It's… not jollof rice. I miss the jollof rice. I dream of jollof rice. I’ve developed a deep appreciation of the jollof rice.
- Night: Pack the few things I've managed to accumulate. The airline finally calls. My luggage is found! It will be arriving in… well, I'm not entirely sure when. But it's on its way. I fall asleep with a smile on my face, dreaming of… you guessed it. Jollof rice. And my socks.
Day 4: Departure and the Jollof Rice Afterglow
- Morning: Check out of Anjiez Royal Suite. Saying goodbye to the hotel is hard. I've grown to like it. The staff are lovely. The jollof rice has changed my life.
- Airport: The final Lagos traffic. My luggage finally arrives! Victory! I check it in, the relief washing over me.
- Departure: On the plane, I look back at Lagos. It's a chaotic, beautiful, overwhelming, and utterly unforgettable city. And the jollof rice… oh, the jollof rice. I can't wait to come back.
- Post-Trip Thoughts: I'm exhausted. I'm exhilarated. I'm already planning my next trip. And I'm definitely going to learn how to make jollof rice.
Luxury Redefined: Anjiez Royal Suite's Lagos Oasis - Let's Get Real! (And Maybe a Little Messy)
Okay, so Anjiez Royal Suite... Sounds fancy. Is it *actually* fancy? Or just Instagram-fancy?
What about the location? Is it easy to get around? (Because Lagos traffic, ugh…)
The food. Gotta know. Is the food any good? Because I'm a foodie, and I'm judging. Hard.
What's the vibe like? Is it stuffy? Party-hardy? Or somewhere in between?
Okay, let's talk about the staff. Are they helpful? Friendly? Or just… there?
Any downsides? Be honest!
