Report reaching us from Poco says is for one night..

ONE NIGHT?

The poverty side of my mind is telling me to type that it's much... But the other part of me is saying I'll get to that level in life

dual personality disorder dey worry you?

Nice one! I plan to visit by month's end.

Save me soul.

If this is a resort, then I need to change my prescription.

Looks like a lost island ,(Gillighan's Island)or a movie set. Old signposts, traces of dirt, brown water... smh.

I seriously need to change my passport. Osanobua!

pocohantas:


Lol. Just a night baby. Yes, you must pay IMMEDIATELY

For this buhari era pako haus for that Mara.

Not bad but pricey....I prefer going to Ouidah in Benin Republic which is 1hr 15mins from popular Tokpa park and less than 1hr 25mins from the airport. If u go to Diaspora hotel after KPar-ce bus stop which is close to the beach( also a former slave port aka 'place of no return') you will be glad you went there. Rooms start from 6000cfa( with fan but breeze from the sea is there too so AC room might not be needed)...the hotel is tastefully built and Benin is possibly the safest place in W/Africa or Africa( Togo too is safe). The environment is peaceful too and a tourist delight as not too far from the place you can take coconuts and buy artifacts. Sweet place for a sweet honeymoon. 3 major borders- Idiroko- decent and less stressful, Seme, Owode APA after Badagry( cheapest but pass through a bushy area) or fly in.

Kweeeeeke! Oburogwoloko!! For what na?

The language allow you speak? You for speak urhobo too. Moreover what part of Dee are you from?

Wow see yansh

pocohantas:
12. Random. I just wanted to touch the water. I don't like getting in water though. Before my people would take me back

Yigiyaga:
Nice spot. Though 250k a night is quite high. Any cheaper single room accommodation?

Three bedroom suite tree house, all rooms ensuite ......considering it's beach resort accommodation it's not too much at about 800dollars...these things don't come cheap

Love the horses. Thanks for sharing

Can you say La Campagne Tropicana 3 times without blabbing?

#Nostalgia

oh yeah that little boy with that Mic meeting people to say La Campagne Tropicana 3 times without blabbing and some are like:
Campagne Tropicana.. Lamkampack Tropicacanana.. Locompack tretotopicaanaa.. and thats how they end up blabbing. #Nostalgic

Looks serene and definitely a place to calm nerves, but for the steep pricing

@OP, ever been to Snake Island? Heard it's quite the place. Looking like I'll go visiting next month.

Idboyostic:
lol, bros Hustle ooo .....a one bedroom flat in lekki phase 1 start from 1m per annum including service charge.

Lekki phase 1 is my place of resident for over 2 years now, and i pay close to #3m yearly as rent. which hustle are u talking about? if i said cant pay #250k a night for that pako doesn't mean i am broke.

kandi006:

No babe, you ain't having your honeymoon there, you deserve better

Thanks babe. Yes, I can fear. Passed by Atican and it made me remember you. Lol

Kaycee7:
A few centuries ago, this is the ride bae would have picked you up with.

Centuries o? Not even years. Na 2019 be this. He should pull up in a lambo.

EliteO:

so it's this pako I would pay 250k to sleep, maka why wetin do their sand

It is three rooms all ensuite. Perfect if you are going with friends. Maybe 3couples. There is a single room of 60k. I don't think it is among the ones facing the beach, because I tried matching my pictures with the ones on their site. Couldn't figure that one out.

eni4real:
This Pocohantas is beautiful o

You actually convinced yourself that I am ugly?
Wonderful!!

Odunharry:

Their fada. How much be land for mowe or inside ogun state?

Lol. Mabinu Sir. I should have added that there is a cheaper room, 60k pere.

nextstep:

Wait, what? 6 hours to and fro to spend an hour or so ... are you doing stuff for some tourism company or something?

We never envisaged it would take that long. Plus in Lagos, it is not yet over until it is over. Lots of factors can increase your time on the road. I did feel like going back, but we told ourselves we have come too far to go back. So...

SweetyZinta:
Nice one Pocohantas, I can't wait to visit this kind of Resort, i know it will stick to my head for a long time. God, bless our hustle soonest!

Thanks sis. Bless you too...

Odunharry:

Yea but doubt you will get land for that price at ibeju

no you can't

makydebbie:


Dont annoy me.

Your honeymoon will be at LA Palm Beach or aqua safari in Accra.

This my coconut head. I keep forgetting a very simple instruction. No vex babe. I done put am for my reminder

Sylverly:
I think it all depend on the period you visit. Went there with my cousin and few other distance relatives, around December last year. It was filled to the brim. Yes, they are trying, but they should improve on the maintenance. Lastly, I hope you fed your eyes with the Dangote's refinery site ? Likewise the Trade Affair on your way going? Lol

Yes, I saw all that along the way. Beautiful sight too. I took so many pictures of the road and environment. Very few of myself.

Apart from period ehn, anything that doesn't accomodate the lower class wouldn't thrive all the time or most times at least. There are beaches that are not periodical. We both know why...

Lol. People that do not have to bother about its cost. They just want the serenity...

Thanks so much for the information.

I need to commend you immensely.

However, you got me weak and almost everyone commentating afterwards away from the relaxing mode with the amount you chose to put up first for accommodation; I would have thought you would have stated the #60,000 first especially as you either went alone or with just someone or 2 others (which is a duplex with 2 beds, a king size comfortable enough for 3-4people); instead of the #250,000 (which i can call a palatial suite with 3bedroom with king-size beds built on lagoon giving you a clear view of the mangroove comfortable for 6-9people, iconically not for the chicken-hearted I must say). I should also state all the apartments has a functional swimming pool with complimentary breakfast, buffet throughout the time I visited. I have been patronizing the place since 2010 and never regretted it.

The reason why most patrons are foreigners can most definitely be attributed to foreigners love for nature and proximity to their houses (staffers of Asian companies @ LFTZ & Dangote refinery); conversely, we Nigerians 'love for noise' (both dominant religions are noisemakers), party, 'never-believing-in-our-own-except-Abroad' attitude (someone even said he can go to Banjul for a week on #250k when we know it's even cheaper to travel to Europe than other African countries).

Truth is that the place is for lovers, lovers of nature and best for couple(s), and company team bonding (never-ever-go-alone to spend the night except you are a writer thou).

The place is a private enterprise conceptualized by a Nigerian who spent good money and possibly bank loan and should definitely make profit. I think the lagoon is the largest man-made lagoon in Africa if not the world .

They provide electricity round the clock (perhaps from generators), security, staff salary etc.

Once again, I commend you.

Regards.

Excellent comment, however i disagree on your analysis on the reasons why foreigners patronise it and your view about the cos. Its just way too expensive. If its maybe 250K at peak season i can understand. Anywhere else in the world you don't pay that. You get the same thing on Coronado Island in San Diego and Marriot is less than $250 averagely, look up the Diplomat beach resort in Miami, its less than $200 for an executive 2 bedroom suite. Foreigners can afford to pay 250K cos of conversion rate, they're mostly into oil and gas or telecomms and paid well or get them as perks.

60k a night

I can't wait to own a lagoon

Hehehe. Buy land overlooking the ocean and start your business.

Irrespective of how anyone sugarcoats it- 60k /night, 250k/night, 150k/night and 5k/daycation is EXPENSIVE in a country where we are still fighting over minimum wage that is less than $100.

Your buttocks are nicely shaped madam

Apologies, the fault is mine as I forgot to state that the foreigners don't even lodge the night, they go back home since they reside closeby and negative security report against naija (not to say the place is not safe).

Meanwhile, maybe I can state that it takes a whole lot to run a business in naija and Africa, much more a businessperson has to do than anywhere else in the world, for instance electricity is a big money guzzler from generators to diesel to even getting original generator & diesel to buy; I also remember the resort had to fix the road as the place was almost cut-off by erosion. Access to finance/loan is not only cumbersome, applicable interest rate is cut-throat especially when the financial institutions don't see anything in the business like oil & gas, with regular cashflow.

I agree the cost is high thought but still we shouldn't benchmark the facility based on their highest priced apartment.

@OP, ever been to Snake Island? Heard it's quite the place. Looking like I'll go visiting next month.

Snake Island is fully occupied by Nigerdock PLC not a resort .

With all due respect, I think you should have made enquiry.

All the times I went there, I stayed in Kodi, and Executive Kodi once and we were 4 in the apartment as it has 2 King-size beds. All Kodi apartments are duplexes facing the beach with swimming pool.
