    • edward T. ★★★★ Very nice place to be. Good environment with well-behaved ladies in attendance, and the accommodation is comfortable. I would love to visit again. However, the hotel food is not up to standard considering the price. Management should kindly look into this and work towards improvement.

    • Wendy O. ★★★★★ It was a nice experience. Prepare for some thrill. However a good number of the rides were not working. The animals are the zoo can be a lot better. But it was a nice place
    • Magbagbeola M. ★★★★★ Omu Resort, Ibeji Lekki is one of the busiest resort in Lekki - Ajah Axis of Lagos. I'm giving it a 3 because a lot of renovation is going on as at mid - December 2025 when I was there. It has a big parking space enough for any reasonable crowd during peak festive period. The entrance fee should be confirmed on site or through direct phone number cause the website price might not yet be updated so it's better you prepare for the actual price. Once you are in, you are welcomed to loads of resort fun unlimited. No cash inside except for drinks and food but all fun in the resort are accessible once you've paid the entrance fee. There is so much fun with rest rooms at a strategic place. Resort rooms are also available for those who plan to stay overnight or spend some time but this is a limited space and you might have to book ahead. In all, it's an experience you will cherish for long.

    • Mohammed B. ★★★★★ Amusement park. Great for group hangout, children day out and fun. Full amenities, outdoor and indoor games including a swimming pool.
    • Ikeoluwa A. ★★★★ Fun place. The entry fee is #500, then you have to pay for each activity. The Pendulum was so much fun , maybe the only really exciting activity and the electric car . The Ferris wheel was a total waste of money, it's slower than a snail, the rocket was cool as well. Most of the fun activities were #1000 each , although swimming was #500 for children, #1000 for adults . The food court had nice meals but nothing great

    • chidinma N. ★★★★★ It's perfect for an outdoor event center. Natural scenery, well-kept environment. If you love nature & want to do outdoor events, it's a pretty chill place & well-maintained. They should get a five-star for this. There's a small swimming pool by the side as well. As at today, the lake is not available for seeing (which is the reason I'll be giving them a three star because that's what I really wanted to see). The mini zoo has two crocodiles, one tortoise and some ducks.
    • TooShot C. ★★★★ They have a very great garden spot and mini hall for dinners, get together and small gatherings. Parking space is good but not enough when the crowd is much.

    • Remy L. ★★★★★ The place is nice to take pictures, but don't rely on getting quality service or food. I went 27/07/25. The staff work like they're not happy to be there. I was told the only thing available on their menu was shawarma, when i bought their shawarma for 3k, it was poorly made and had no sausage in it. To make it worse it took soo long for it to be ready. They said the person that knows how to make it was not around. I'm definitely never visiting again.
    • Adetuase P. ★★★★★ Place of pleasure is an amazing place for leisure activities and bonding time. The ambience is beautiful and the service is great. You only need to buy a visa to permit entrance once in a year.

    • ABEJOYE J. ★★★★★ Quite okay for an outdoor setting. But they don't have a rest room which is very bad. Why pay a gate fee of 1500 without a restroom? That's why I won't recommend here for a date with a lady. Other than that a 4 star would have been good.
    • Eagle S. ★★★★★ I can't imagine such a place exists in Ilorin. The ambience gives the Lagos Atlantic Ocean Energy. Great place to be.
