Luxury Lekki Living: A-Plus Apartments Await!
Luxury Lekki Living: A-Plus Apartments Await! - Honestly, Is It Worth It? (Let's Dive In!)
Alright, fellow luxury-seekers (and maybe just those of us dreaming of a little slice of the high life!), let's talk about Luxury Lekki Living: A-Plus Apartments. I've spent some time dissecting this place, and honestly, the hype is real… mostly. But like any good story, it's got its quirks, its highs, and its "hmm, maybe next time" moments. Buckle up, because this isn't going to be your typical dry review.
First Impressions & The Accessibility Angle (Or, Why I'm Suddenly Appreciating Elevators):
Ok, let's be real. Lekki is busy. Getting there feels like an adventure in itself. But the promise of luxury at Luxury Lekki Living is immediate. The entrance is sleek, modern, and the whole vibe screams "I've arrived." Now, the accessibility – a crucial point, especially for folks with mobility concerns: Elevators! Yes! Thank the heavens. Because navigating anything in Lagos without an elevator and easy wheel-chair access can be a nightmare. And thankfully, both are on offer, so you can easily avoid the stairs. They even boast facilities for disabled guests, which I'm always thrilled to see, and I'd like to think that means they are doing a better job.
The Room, The Room, The Wonderful Room?!
Honestly, the apartments are impressive. They're packed with everything you'd expect (Air conditioning? Check. Free Wi-Fi? Double-check!), and some cool extras like bathrobes and slippers. I especially appreciate the blackout curtains. Sleep is precious, especially after a long day of Lagos hustle. And the complimentary bottled water? A small detail, but a welcome one. The rooms also have great touches like an in-room safe box, a mini bar and tons of channels to choose from, including satellite/cable!
There's a lot of focus on making you feel comfy too, like a scale, which I personally found hilarious. But hey, maybe I'm not the target audience there. The window that opens is a total bonus, allowing fresh air to circulate and let you soak in the Lekki ambience.
Internet Access (Free Wi-Fi in All Rooms!):
Alright, let's get down to brass tacks. In the modern age, solid internet is essential. Thankfully, FREE Wi-Fi in all rooms! No more expensive roaming charges or buffering nightmares. They even have Internet [LAN] if you prefer a wired connection. Basically, you can stream those cat videos to your heart's content.
Food, Glorious Food! (And Maybe a Hangover Cure?)
Okay, so food's a big deal, right? Luxury Lekki Living doesn't disappoint. They've got restaurants and a coffee shop, a snack bar and even the option of room service [24-hour] – because sometimes, that midnight craving for a club sandwich is unavoidable. I, personally, took full advantage. There's a Western breakfast option, so if you're missing your bacon and eggs, you're covered. They also offer Asian cuisine and have vegetarian options. I didn't try every single thing, but what I did sample (the salad, particularly) was delicious. A Poolside bar is also a plus, so you can have a casual drink while you take in the scenery.
Things to Do (Or, How to Actually Relax):
So, you're at a "luxury" place. You need to relax, right? Oh, they've got you covered. Seriously. A swimming pool [outdoor]? Obviously. But then it goes further. A sauna, a spa, and a steamroom. I'm a big fan of massage, so I spent a decent amount of time in the spa, and it was divine. They also boast a fitness center and a gym/fitness, so you can work off those extra calories from the buffet. I just saw them. I didn't use them. Let's be honest.
Cleanliness and Safety (Because, Well, Lagos):
This is crucial. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, rooms sanitized between stays, and professional-grade sanitizing services are all standard. I saw staff diligently cleaning, and the whole place just felt… clean. They also have CCTV in common areas and 24-hour security. That peace of mind is worth its weight in gold.
Here's the Messy Truth:
- The occasional minor imperfection. Look, this isn't a flawless, sterile, airbrushed experience. I saw a tiny chip in the paint in the elevator. Shocking, I know. But it's real life, and it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment.
- The noise! Lekki is a vibrant place, that always is a fact. While the soundproof rooms do a good job, you might hear a distant horn or two. It's part of the experience.
The Offer You Can't Refuse (Well, Maybe You Will):
Alright, let's get down to brass tacks. Based on everything I've seen, experienced, and loved about Luxury Lekki Living, here's my pitch:

Escape to the Clouds: Unforgettable Stay at Orangewood B&B, Baguio
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's cookie-cutter itinerary! This is a raw, unfiltered, probably slightly-too-honest account of my (potentially disastrous) stay at A-Plus Apartments in Lekki, Lagos. Prepare for tangents, triumphs, and the inevitable crushing disappointment of a broken internet connection (and maybe some jollof rice-induced existential dread).
THE A-PLUS APARTMENTS, LEKKI: A MESSY, BEAUTIFUL ADVENTURE – A (Very Tentative) Schedule
(Note: Times are more like "suggested windows of opportunity" than actual hard and fast rules. Lagos time is a thing, people.)
Day 1: Arrival - Hope, Hype, and the Horrors of Lagos Traffic (and Bed Bugs? God, I hope not.)
- 8:00 AM (ish): Wake up in whatever hellscape the night before decided to leave me in (probably a hostel, praying it's not bed bug central). The flight was a blur of airplane peanuts and anxiety. Seriously, I'm more afraid of heights than I thought.
- 8:45 AM: Breakfast. Gotta fuel up for the Lagos experience. Probably some questionable local street food. Wish me luck!
- 9:30 AM: Hustle to the airport. The traffic is already legendary, heard stories like the ones that kept me awake the night before.
- 1:00 PM (Hopefully): Arrival at Murtala Muhammed and meet the driver arranged to get me to A-Plus. Pray the driver knows what he is doing. The real adventure begins.
- 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM: The Traffic Gauntlet. This is not a drill. The estimated travel time of one or two hours turned into a soul-crushing, sweat-inducing saga. My driver, bless his heart, was singing along to some Afrobeat, which helped slightly. Still. Damn. Traffic. I learned more about the intricacies of Lagos yam farming than I ever cared to know, thanks to the guy selling them on the roadside. (Side note: That yam looked good. Regret not buying one.)
- 5:00 PM (ish): Finally, A-Plus Apartments! Check in. Assess the damage. Hopefully, the aircon works. And pray for no bedbugs! I'll scrutinize those mattresses like a hawk.
- 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM: Unpack. Sigh dramatically. Realize I packed way too many shoes. (Always a problem.)
- 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM: Dinner. Find some local food – maybe a proper Nigerian meal. I'm craving some jollof rice, but I'm also utterly terrified of getting food poisoning. A delicate balance, truly.
- 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM: Explore the area around A-Plus. Get a feel for the neighborhood, find a bar, and hopefully, make some friends. Or at least avoid getting mugged.
- 10:00 PM - Bed: Pass out from exhaustion (and maybe a few beers). Pray for a decent night's sleep. And that the aircon doesn't die.
Day 2: Beach Day (Maybe?) and the Jollof Rice Dilemma
- 9:00 AM: Wake up. Assess the damage (again). Okay, no bedbugs! That’s a win.
- 10:00 AM: Breakfast at the apartment. Make some coffee – instant, because I’m too lazy for anything else.
- 11:00 AM: Attempt to go to the beach. Attempt. The traffic gods may or may not be smiling upon me. (Probably not.)
- 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Beach time at Elegushi Beach or Tarkwa Bay. Assuming I actually get there. Sunbathing, swimming, and soaking up the Lagos vibes. Or maybe I’ll just end up sitting in traffic, staring longingly at the ocean from afar. Either way, I'll grab some street food.
- 4:00 PM: Head back to A-Plus. Maybe. Traffic willing.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: The Jollof Rice Odyssey. I’m going to find some darn good Jollof rice. This is a serious mission. I've heard whispers of a place called "Mama's Kitchen" or something similar. Pray for me. This could be the best meal of my life… or a culinary disaster. Stay tuned.
- 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM: Hang out at the apartment, maybe relax with a book or movie
- 8:00 PM - Bed: Attempt to sleep. Probably toss and turn, worrying about everything.
Day 3: The Art of Exploration and the Fear of Mosquitoes
- 9:00 AM: Wake up. (Are you getting used to this routine? I sure am.)
- 10:00 AM: Some light breakfast and coffee.
- 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM: Explore a little more of Lekki and Lagos. Thinking of visiting the Lekki Conservation Centre – hoping to see some wildlife and get away from city chaos. If I remember to take pictures of the monkeys.
- 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Lunch. Probably somewhere local, hopefully with air conditioning.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Return back to A-Plus. The traffic will probably be brutal.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner.
- 8:00 PM - Bed: Bedtime. The mosquitoes are relentless here.
Day 4: Departure (Hopefully With All My Limbs Intact)
- 9:00 AM: Wake up. Pack. Check for bedbugs (again).
- 10:00 AM: Last breakfast in Lekki.
- 11:00 AM: Check out of A-Plus.
- 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Traffic. (You knew it was coming.) Airport.
- 3:00 PM: Flight. Adios, Lagos!
- Maybe: Land back home. Get some sleep. Start planning the next trip!
Ramblings, Reactions, and Random Thoughts:
- The Internet: Pray the internet at A-Plus is working like promised. Don't want to miss that important news.
- Food Poisoning: I am terrified. The jollof risk is real.
- The Heat: It is HOT everywhere. I am sweating through everything.
- The People: Nigerians are amazing! I already love them – so welcoming, friendly, and full of life!
- The Traffic: A constant, ever-present threat to my sanity.
- A Plea: Someone, PLEASE, teach me how to haggle! I'm already getting ripped off.
- Overall: Despite all that, I'm absolutely loving it! Lagos is a city that hits you like a ton of bricks (a charming, chaotic, and slightly overwhelming ton of bricks). It's messy, it's loud, and it's gloriously alive. This is an adventure. I'm ready for anything. (Well, almost anything.)
(Disclaimer: This itinerary is subject to change based on traffic, weather, jollof rice availability, and the whims of the Lagos gods. Stay tuned for updates and inevitable meltdowns.)

Luxury Lekki Living: A-Plus Apartments - Ask Me Anything (and I'll Probably Over-Share!)
So, A-Plus Apartments… Sounds fancy. Is it *actually* fancy? Like, does it have a butler who judges my questionable online shopping habits?
Okay, let's get one thing straight: the word "fancy" is subjective. My fancy might be your "barely holding it together." A-Plus? It's definitely a step up from my last place, which had a cockroach named Kevin (don't ask). They don't have a butler, thank God, because I'd probably try to befriend him and embarrass myself. BUT… they *do* have a really attentive concierge. And the security guys are, like, *really* good at their job. Which, let's be honest, is a HUGE selling point in Lekki. There was this one time, I forgot my keycard, and the security guy (whose name I *swear* is James Bond, or at least that's what I've nicknamed him) just *knew* who I was. No interrogation, no drama. Just a smile and rapid access to my apartment. Score!
Look, it's fancy enough to impress a date, that's for sure. Though, I'm still working on the date part… Maybe the next time I use that date-worthy living room, I'll actually *have* a date. Fingers crossed.
What about the location? Is it actually *Lekki*, or some place that *claims* it's Lekki to hike up the price? Because, trust me, I've been fooled before.
Dude, this is LEKKI, Lekki, *Lekki*. Not some wannabe. I can practically *taste* the grilled fish and hear the honking of the *danfo* buses (okay, maybe that's not a plus, but it's real, right?). Seriously though, it's well-situated. Easy access to everything… except maybe escaping my crippling addiction to Jumia. (Don't judge; it's a pandemic-era coping mechanism!). It's close to the shops, the beaches, the… well, the *stuff* that makes Lekki, Lekki.
One small confession: I got a little lost the first week, mostly because my internal GPS is, frankly, useless. But the security guys were superheroes that time, offering me water AND directions. I swear, they should get hazard pay. Navigating Lagos roads is a contact sport!
Okay, let's talk about the apartments themselves. Are they as spacious as the pictures suggest? Because those Instagram photos are always… optimistic.
Alright, the apartments… yes, the *some* of the pictures *might* have been staged with furniture that isn't actually available and lighting that's illegal. But they are big. Actually really big. Like, I can (and have) done cartwheels in my living room without hitting anything. Okay, maybe not the most graceful cartwheels, but still! I am absolutely *loving* the space, but now I’m also contemplating whether I actually need all this room. Do I need a reading nook, a meditation space, a dance studio? Decisions, decisions!
The finishes are good quality, the appliances work (so far… touch wood!), and the natural light is *divine*. My biggest issue? Filling the empty space! I've got a dining table that seats twelve (because, ambition), and I'm pretty sure I haven't seen more than five people at it. But… eventually I will have people around! Promise! I just need to pick the right friends. Someone who loves food and cartwheels would be cool.
What's the wifi situation? Because, let's be real, in Lagos, internet can be a complete nightmare. Is it fast enough to binge-watch Netflix in peace?
Okay, this is where A-Plus really shines. The Wi-Fi is actually REALLY good. I can stream Netflix, Zoom calls are actually possible, and I haven't wanted to hurl my laptop out the window… yet. It's not perfect; there are still the occasional hiccups. But compared to my previous internet experiences… it's basically a miracle. I'm still expecting a crash, to be honest. Like, it's *so* good that my brain is waiting for the inevitable disappointment.
There was a brief panic during the last rainy season, when the internet seemed to have taken a holiday. But a quick call to the support team (they're actually responsive!) sorted it out. Phew! My sanity (and my Netflix addiction) are safe… for now!
And the amenities? Do they have that "gym" that's really just a treadmill and a broken elliptical?
The gym is actually… good! And yes, I'm as shocked as you are. It's reasonably well-equipped, and while it gets busy during peak hours, you can usually find some space to sweat. I *try* to go at least a few times a week. Keyword: *try*. The pool is also pretty fantastic. Perfect for those scorching Lagos days when you just need to cool off with a swim. And the best part? The noise level is usually kept to a minimum. I do not need to jump over children on the way to unwind. I'm here for peace.
But, I'm not going to lie, I'm a total gym-avoidant person by nature. My workout routine usually consists of walking from the fridge to the couch. So, the fact that I actually *use* the gym occasionally says a lot. It's a good gym. No, I take that back. It's an *amazing* gym. (Don't tell anyone I said that, though… I don't want it to get too crowded!)
What about the price? Let's be real, luxury in Lekki isn't cheap. Is it worth the cost?
Okay, the elephant in the room: the price. Let's just say you're not going to find a bargain here. Luxury comes at a cost, and A-Plus falls firmly into the "premium" category. It’s not “cheap,” but is it worth it? Honestly? I’m still a little shell-shocked from the whole deal, but my answer is… probably? (I told you I don't know how to adult) If I’m comparing it to the cost of a reliable car, a secure location, and peace of mind (which is priceless in Lagos), then yes. I mean, I’d rather eat bread for months, so I can live in a place I can *actually* enjoy.
There were definitely some "gulp" moments when signing the lease. But I’m also not going to lie, I’ve spent similar amounts on questionable nights out (with even more questionable decisions). And this? This is an investment in my well-being. That's what I tell myself, anyway. Plus, hey, now I can work from home AND have a nice place to complain about the high apartment rent! See, I even have a friend for the whining sessions! It is the best of both worlds, at least, in theory. Right? Right.
