Casa Offshore

It was a great holiday. Jacuzzi at Casa Offshore is just what you need after a hard day's surf. Lagos is a nice place though we mostly saw it at night of course. One place sticks in my mind - Michelin-recommended restaurant called 'Artisans', was absolutely beautiful and great value, had lunch their on our last day, they seem to have lunch and dinner specials. Definitely will be surfing again soon so maybe we'll talk soon!

Had an absolute blast. Casa Offshore was great. Seb and Mik were great hosts, very welcoming. Surfing was great, good instruction and much encouragement from Marcel and Trent. Enjoyed Lagos as well. Got a real sense of history ;). I would go back, enough bars and restaurants to keep busy. Didn't manage the "9 Shot Challenge", though. Didn't need another t-shirt!

I loved it - would go back in a flash (probably will next year). Really liked the owners especially. The place is well positioned, tidy and well kept, great having the whirlpool in the garden and the hammock. I am in utter disbelief that despite talking about the same topics (best restaurants to go to, how was learning to surf? etc) and teaching beginners day after day, for the whole summer.... I never felt like it was a chore and they came across as genuine. I loved putting the world to rights with Sebastian, I found Mars Bar Marcel to be very motivating and fun, and I was lucky to have a great bunch of people in the house to hang out with during my stay. I'll be back

Casa Offshore was the perfect place to stay and everyone there was lovely. We got plenty of waves and got a lot out of the surfing lessons. Lagos is a beatiful and lively place. We'll be back there I'm sure l

We had a really good trip thanks. We managed to clock-up 8 surfs over our stay, which was amazing considering we only had 3 full days. The house was sweet and the hot-tub was a nice touch. The hosts could not do enough for us and were very relaxed. I would totally recommend it to others.It has also been a real pleasure dealing with yourself as it has been so relaxed, yet efficient. I have recommended your company to others.Thanks again. - Steven, Scotland

The house was very comfortable - much more like your home.  The beaches were fantastic, we really went off the beaten track to some of them. It really depended on where the suitable surf was but it didn't make much difference as they were all great. It was very early season so there weren't many people on the beach which I really enjoyed.  I had a wonderful week and hope to get back again, perhaps even at the end of this year. Having never touched a surf board I can now say that I look forward to buying my wetsuit and continuing to develop my new skill! The couple who run the place are great, lots of fun and really outgoing. They put on two nights while I was there bbq and movie night, which involved €10 a head, they provide all the food and drink - well worth it and good fun!  10/10 for the whole experience! Thanks for the surf holiday

We had amazing weather, feel like I got a proper break, really hot. Surf instructor was great, super patient and thorough and helpful. Lunch included was plentiful and yummy so it kept us going. Accomodation and transfers were great. We were picked up on time and brought back with plenty of time, Pete was so sound. Loved the house and the town, perfect location, not much shopping except markets on the Saturday so we trained it to a nearby town. Sebastian, Mickaela and Sharon were very sweet and hospitable. We had a clean ensuite twin and a lovely lounge to chill in with everything we needed. Hot tub rocked. Really had a great time, great company

My daughter and I booked in for 7 days holidays with 5 days surfing lessons. The only thing we would have changed about our holiday would be that we would have stayed for a second week. We were collected from the airport and got a mini tour of Lagos from Pete - great for getting our bearings. When we settled in we realised that the photos on the website don't do Casa Offshore any justice, its much more pretty and there was even a lemon tree outside our twin room. As we chatted with Sebastian, Michaela and Sharon we felt like we had gone from home to home. Over the next few days we realised that this was only a taste of their warmness and hospitality. I have never ever felt so chilled and enjoyed such a unique holiday quite so much. Everyone at Casa Offshore goes totally out of their way to make you enjoy every minute of your holiday. The surfing was simply awsome and our surf coach Bret taught us much more than surfing. We learnt about the breaks, the beaches, the lingo, safety in the water and we saw some of the most beautiful beaches in the Algarve. My daughter was brave enough to paddle out the back and I doubt that she will ever forget that big step. Im still sore from the laughing but the wonderful hot tub took care of the post surfing aches. I had to put my daughter on the plane kicking and screaming and shes already saving up for our next trip. We can't wait to go back, thanks Sebastian, Michaela, Bret, Sharon, Pete, Frodo, Lani and Schmiegel. If you are like me and read reviews before you book a trip and perhaps are wondering whether or not to book a stay in Casa Offshore - I'd say DO IT - you wont regret it  :)

It was a fantastic holiday. From the moment I arrived at Casa Offshore, I felt immediately welcome and at home. When I was on the shuttle on the way from the airport my phone rang and it was Seb to say that there was a bbq on and they had taken the liberty of preparing some food for me. Ten minutes after my arrival I had been handed a cold beer and some delicious barbequed pork ribs. The surfing itself was great. By the end of the week I was easily able to stand up on the board and was working on my turns. Amado Beach is really a beautiful place. Lagos was a nice town too. All in all it was a great holiday which I would recommend to anyone. surfholidays.com obviously really know what they're doing. Keep up the good work!

The accommodation was perfect since everything seems to happen from the house and its great for meeting up with other people and really handy. The crew at the house are great crack. The surf was really good also... instructors are much better and actually give you tips as opposed to a few surf trips Ive been on before

The Surf-house was pretty awesome and Sebastian and his crew are really cool. If anyone is in two minds about going, I would have no difficulty in recommending the package surfholidays.com put together. The Surf was consistently good and the instructors particularly Marcel was really good. I've had lessons in Lahinch + Noosa (Australia) before, but these were really good. As for Lagos, it is a really happening place and there is a great deal of partying to do...highly recommend it again.....Went wake boarding and mountain biking which was spectacular....Recommend the wakeboarding on the power boat associated with the Surf House...pretty awesome on a sunny Sunday morning banging out the tunes (ps bring the Ipod for the power boat) All in all, trip = awesome

Had a ball in Lagos. The accommodation was lovely, surf lessons were fab and the people are just so nice. Will definitely be in touch about booking again. Casa was lovely, great atmosphere in the house and Sebastian and Michaela really make you feel so welcome. My surfing definitely improved (hope I don't forget it all) and they made a huge effort to bring us to the best conditions every day. The range of beaches close at hand is certainly something to come back to. Lagos itself is a lovely town with great barmen, lovely restaurants and a lovely quant feel to the town

Had a great time at Casa Offshore. First time I'd surfed and they really looked after me. Good surf coaches, very friendly at the casa. Rooms were clean and well kept - good value for money. Beaches were lovely, restaurants fine (massive portions in some), all in all a nice area. I must have enjoyed it because I've booked to go back in a couple of weeks

The holiday was absolutely brilliant, honestly couldn't have been better. Casa Offshore was a great place to stay, rooms were perfect and there was good banter there for the few days. The staff were all so nice, I couldn't speak highly enough if the spot. Surfing wise then we all really enjoyed it. The lessons were exactly what you want, a little bit of a demo and practice first and then we just got to go out there and try it. Think we all picked it up pretty well, by end of 3rd day we were all standing up. And then Lagos was great craic, to be honest we hit the bars pretty hard on 2 of the nights so they're pretty blurry!! I reckon could end up being at least and annual trip for me and few of the lads, it had everything we were looking for. Really appreciate you sorting it for us - Niall, Galway

The whole trip was brilliant. The Casa was clean and tidy and the staff were all very friendly. The surf team were very good. The other guests were good fun and also very friendly. The Casa had a very welcoming atmosphere. The weather could have been better, but the surfing was still good. Lagos is a fun town. The Casa was located in a quite area so it didn’t bother me. All together I would recommend this to anyone and am already considering another trip

Food was average .. Could do better lunches & breakfast. Staff etc really nice. Enjoyed the surf. 9out 10 – Simon, Sleaford

We had a great time. We’ve been to Portugal quite a bit over the last 2 years but never to Lagos. We loved it. The surf lessons were great for us as beginners and the accommodation was clean, comfortable and private. Everyone was lovely. We had Kieran and Marcel out with us. They were great. All in all a great weekend and we’ve recommended it to our friends

It was fantastic. I couldn't rate it higher. People and accommodation where lovely. As was the surfing. Would very much like to go back at some point!

Had a fantastic time in Portugal, so good in fact I have booked to go back again. The accommodation was perfect and I loved the town of Lagos, especially the old town, we ate somewhere different every night and food was consistently good. Surf conditions were great as we went to different beach most days and there were different styles of instruction some helpful some not but it’s not an easy sport to teach. Thanks for all your help with the organising. I am bringing people back with me next time and have recommended to all and sundry

It was all perfect. The owner of this place is nice guy. The Instructors are fantastic. We had a great time and gain new friends

Honestly, I couldn't fault any of it! Casa Offshore was fantastic, Seb, Michaela and Denise were lovely and and helpful, the house and surroundings were so relaxing, with just the right amount of party spirit! I was really nervous about going away on my own for the first time, but I had the best time. The lessons were really good - the tutors weren't too overbearing, they let you get on with it and learn for yourself whilst feeding you tips and advice when needed. The town and beaches were so gorgeous. At night it definitely comes alive (!) - I have to say, I wasn't expecting it to be quite as much of a party destination, I thought it would be more sleepy taverna type places than all out 4am raucousness, but it's definitely the kind of town where you can do what you want to do, whether that's a quiet night or not. Also - Seb's BBQ is the best BBQ I've ever had! Can you tell I enjoyed myself? :) Thanks to your team as well for helping me organise it all!

Casa offshore was a brilliant holiday - still missing it! Sebastien and Co. were great hosts. Accommodation great - not done a sharing accommodation holiday but great for what it was - clean etc etc. Good food nights arranged - BBQ and pizza night. Lunches and breakfast were relatively basic but definitely what I expected and enjoyable - I wouldn't expect anything more given the type of good fun, active holiday. Couldn't really criticise the holiday. Only very very minor comment is the instructors could sometimes help target some of us wannabe surfers who aren't so outgoing at asking for feedback and help - they could be sometimes distracted by more outgoing members of the group. Having said that, if you don't ask for help you won't get it! Hope that's constructive! – Kat, Glasgow

I had a fantastic holiday! Casa Off Shore was the perfect chill out house if you want to meet like minded people. It never felt overcrowded and there was always someone to chat to so if you're traveling solo it's never lonely. Sebastian and Denise were Great hosts. Really welcoming and happy to help you when you needed advice or recommendations. Lagos was a great town to stay in with lots of super places to eat drink and socialise. The surfing was great: REALLY hard work but so rewarding and the instructors rotated which I think is good as you were able to benefit from their different advice. The stronger you are the better with the surfing really but it doesn't matter. Either way you work at your own pace and your strength builds quite quickly. I was a beginner and never felt out of depth. Sebastian and Marcell (I hope I spelled your name right) were particularly helpful and would spot when you needed advice. They gave good technical feedback which helped me a lot.I would recommend this holiday to anyone who loves an active break in beautiful surroundings. Solo, travelling with friends or as a couple, you meet people constantly and I will definitely be returning at some point for more fun!

I had a fantastic time over there. Casa Offshore was a great spot, friendly, helpful and clean. The lessons were also great, we headed off around 9am every morning and drove to a beach about 40mins away. The drive itself was really nice. The beach was fab, and the lessons were great! We had different instructors in the morning and afternoon, which was good because some instructors are better at certain things than others! As for Lagos, the town was beautiful and we had some really nice dinners! I definitely recommend Nah Nah Bah bar for their burgers and the Garden for their BBQ meats! Had great pizza in Pizzolino as well! Overall, we had a great trip and are already trying to plan another one out there next Spring so you will be hearing from me again!

The Casa was great in terms of how it looks and the pool was brilliant. I think the place has lost 'something special' in getting so big but that's inevitable and everyone is really lovely and we enjoyed staying there. The surf lessons were great. The teachers are wonderful especially Marcel and Rick. I felt safe and challenged at the same time. It was good. But not good enough to bring me back again I'm afraid. That's my super honest feedback – Laura, Dublin

I had a fantastic holiday, thank you. Casa offshore, Sharon's recommendation was perfect for me. I instantly felt welcome and as I was travelling by myself, this was a big bonus. The accommodation was immaculate and the house staff were brilliant with information and general chat!. I particularly enjoyed their BBQ night which brought everyone together. The surf lessons were also great and I was particularly pleased that the groups were divided into those with some experience and complete beginners. The instructors were really encouraging and always on hand for some helpful advice. I learned loads! Lagos itself was great with a wide choice of restaurants and again some great recommendations from Casa offshore on particularly good restaurants. All in all I really couldn't fault my holiday from the efficient booking through your website/ company to the delivery at the other end. I would recommend it to any one and would definitely plan a return visit- Donna, Belfast

We were a group of four Irish girls that stayed at Casa offshore in early September. We had such a great time at Casa offshore and I could not compliment the owners and staff there enough. The surf instructors alternated between Nik, Marcel, Seb and Kieran. They were great! Knowledgeable, encouraging, professional and good fun. They do a great job every day. Very impressed! Overall, I felt our accommodation and instruction from these coaches made our holiday something more than what it would have been- Karen, Cork

I had a great time in Lagos, it was sad when the day I had to leave arrived, even though I had been there for 2 weeks! Casa Offshore was a lovely place to stay, you were made to feel so welcome and the added benefits - pool, hottub, gardens etc made a big difference in making your time on arrival back from surfing more relaxing. The first week I was there, there were several groups and the second week more solo travellers. I met some great people. I improved so much during the surf lessons, Rick and Marcel were amazing instructors. Rick with his drive of getting you to improve your technique ... until you get it right and Marcel with his enthusiasm to push you to do better ... and you do! The entire area was very nice and people so friendly. The beaches were all different and special in their own way and very picturesque and clean. I met some great people and Amanda and Lucy who I met there and myself are heading off on a surf trip to Devon this weekend! We all said we would return next year as we had such a fantastic time and all miss it and possibly attempt stand-up paddleboarding too! – Katy, Wimbeldon

Holiday in Lagos was great thanks. Casa Offshore was amazing the house was really clean and comfortable, the facilities were great and everyone was very friendly, overall a brilliant place for anyone travelling on their own. The surf lessons were really good, the instructors were great and had me standing up and improving very quickly. I really liked the town of Lagos itself, plenty of great restuarants and bars and the beaches were all lovely and clean. Definately looking to go back next year – Amanda, Bristol

I really enjoyed Lagos and Casa Offshore was an amazing place to stay in and great value for money. My surfing lessons were very well organised and instructors were always on time to get us there and back. Im a big fan of seafood so I really enjoyed my fish. The only downside was I thought it was difficult to organise the transfer

I had a great time - thanks so much for the recommendation! The accommodation was great value, all the staff lovely and the surf instruction great. Lagos is a fab little place, with a great choice of restaurants and some lovely beaches close-by. I met some great people. I've been spreading the word back at home about how great surfing holidays are! – Kate, East Molesey, Surrey

Can't add anything new to things I wrote last year - I love Lagos, I feel very much comfortable in Casa, I like people who come there for holidays. Seb and Michaela are running perfect house and the team is great. And I want back))

I had an amazing time. The Casa was really nice, always clean and tidy, breakfast and lunch that were included was lovely. The BBQ they put on weekly was lush! Sharon/Pete/Seb/Michaela were all really nice and welcoming - never met such a happy bunch of people! The surf instructors were really good too and def kept a look out for us. The guys and girls that were there were fab also, we all went out most nights as big group. I would def go back and would recommend it to others

We had a great holiday! Everything was as you described. The house was lovely and Sharon and Pete went out of their way to be helpful. It is a fine set up in the house with all mod cons and so handy having the lessons based from the house means you don't have to go anywhere in the morning, it's literally all on a plate. There was a grand selection of wetsuits from small to extra large. The surf lessons were great fun and it's a fantastic place to learn with the warm water and the wild waves. The beaches in the Algarve really are perfect sandy and clean. We had lessons on the main town beach and at a beach a short drive away. It would have been nice to see another beach some day for variety but you couldn't complain because the waves were great. We booked five days of lessons and we got a rest day in the middle, which was really needed, don't think we would have been able for five in a row! The house was great to come back to as well, a bit of a home away from home. Between the house and the lessons there was a good crowd of people there and we all got on well and went out for dinner every night. We were three 25 year old lads but it was basically a constant stream of girls arriving at the house, which was a nice surprise! The town was quiet enough during the week but at the bank hol weekend (10th june) it instantly got much busier and more of a party place. The house is a short walk from the historic centre. There are lots of restaurants with some nice local ones but a lot of touristy ones too. English spoken everywhere obviously. The town had a good balance between having bars and clubs but at the same time all old streets and not a trashy resort. with all the surfing we didn't get to see much but there are some great cliffs and sea stacks and arches around, which are very beautiful, not to mention deserted with only boat access to half of them, good town for a bit of sailing too, one of the cork girls who was into sailing said. So yes to be honest everything went very smoothly and I would highly recommend the house and the town for learning to surf or fun in the sun! Thanks a million

The Casa was great- Sharon and Pete are very welcoming and I really enjoyed their hospitality and the barbecue. The surf was fab- I will need more practice though! All the instructors were cool and professional and attentive. We all clicked in the Casa so it was a most memorable holiday. I was a lucky man surrounded by 7 women! Lagos is a great spot so I will be back. Thanks, David, Cork

Casa Offshore was lovely. Our twin room was perfect for our needs! Loved the garden with sun loungers (when warm and sunny) and hot tub (when cool and cloudy). Nice mix of people - staff and guests very friendly and chilled, made us feel comfortable. Good location for heading out to the surf beaches by day and into Lagos at night, nice walks to local sunbathing beach, rocky coastline and next town too. The surfing was so much fun - and the beaches we went to so beautiful (Zavial and Castelejo). Being taught / encouraged / laughed at by Marcel, Tom and Sebastian did actually result in me able to stand up and move forwards on a wave... (as well as swallowing most of the Atlantic Sea and being covered in random bruises!). Loved it! Also, absolutely loved the Hawaiian massage from Freddie :)Would definitely recommend this place and the people to others, and hope I will come back and have another surf holiday sometime, or at least pass through and say hello if I'm out in the Algarve / Alentejo area

The Casa was great. I love Seb, Michela, Sharon and Pete. This is my return visit so that speaks for itself! The surf was good, I learned loads...Laura, Dublin

What an awesome holiday!!! it was brilliant. I had a great time (although my ribs still hurt from the battering I took!) everyone was really friendly (staff and guests) and there was a really good atmosphere and the instructors were great. I would definitely go back. The only thing that would have made it better would be some photos, because I was on my own I didn't get a chance to get any of me up on the waves. Richard, Surrey

Best surf trip ever! The casa was awesome - Sharon, Pete and all instructors were so laid back and lovely. The house itself was like I was like being at home and staying in the dorm with fellow solo girl travellers was great. Recommending it to all and any that listen and if I get the numbers, I'm hoping to bring a group back with me this September. Well worth the wait and an absolute gem of a surf spot. They've got a good thing going with that house. Thanks for all the re-scheduling due to work etc Nicky - really great recommendation!

Had a great time in Lagos, thanks! Casa Offshore was class - everything absolutely spot on (food, rooms, location etc) no complaints whatsoever. Sharon and Pete were brilliant! Both incredibly nice and friendly as were the surf instructors. Really glad I got the transfer with Pete - well worth the extra cash! I was crap at surfing but the lessons were still great fun and everything was well organised. Everything was lovely really, thought the town was good craic in the evening without being too jammed full of tourists. Going out wasn't that expensive either. Definitely would like to go back and will definitely be recommending you

It was all brilliant, house was great, Marcel was an excellent teacher- everyone was really friendly... great place. I'd definitely go back.

Casa Offshore was fantastic, I had a great week. The set up that Sharon and Pete have there is like a home away from home and the surf lessons/ equipment package all rolled into one was a huge bonus for me particularly. The surf was great for me level of experience and the quality of instruction in particular was very good. All in all it was a great week, and I hope to return next year. Many thanks- Steve, Kildare

We all had one of the best holidays we can remember. We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere at Casa Offshore and we were well looked after by Sharon and Pete. The other guests were all there to enjoy the Casa Offshore USP: a chance to share the experience of surfing with like minded people and create a synergy that benefits all levels of ability and ages. You were right to recommend that non-surfers (ie, my wife) do not stay at Casa Offshore. That keeps the focus for all concerned. It was great to have an international guest list with Russians, Brits, Irish and French. The surf instructors were really cool, especially Marcel. Surfing: Pablo was standing on the board within an hour and even I managed runs of up to 100 materes by day 5.We all surpassed our personal expectattions and got great buzz !! Beaches were great but water too cold!! I would have liked to have visited a second beach during my 5 days course but the conditions on the beach we were on were the best in the area. Lagos was nice but much bigger than I had expected. Restaurants recommended by Casa Offshore were all good. Thanks again – Tony and son Pablo, Nottingham

We had a great time in Lagos - absolutely loved Casa Offshore!! The location was great, the place was fab and the couple who run the place were so friendly. We loved the lessons - although getting up in the morning was hard going :-) They had a bbq on the first night which was cool as we got to meet everyone who was staying there. The one recommendation I would say is that Casa when organising peoples surf lessons advice you take a break on the third day - we were under the impression that we had to book 4lessons when staying 5 days when booking with you guys. The 4days in a row of surfing were hard going!!! We stayed in the Vila Gale 4 star hotel for the second week which was lovely although a 20min walk into Lagos. Finally we really loved Lagos itself as there were gorgeous little cafes/shops and windy streets to see during the day and then at night the place came alive for when we fancied going out. Thanks for helping us organise it all

Had a fantastic time, surfing was amazing, really liked the Casa vibe - met some cool people and Lagos was beautiful. All in all a great holiday. Thanks

I thought the surfing was great - I thought the instructors gave just the right level of attention to everyone on the whole. Sometimes I could have done with a bit more attention so I could push myself a bit further, but for the initial learning stage they were brilliant and I was standing up by the first morning. The Casa was really chilled out- it was made much nicer by the fact that (on the whole) there weren't that many teens/early twenties there and the facilities were way better than expected (beautiful garden area to chill out in, massive kitchen for cooking and hot tub to wind down in!). The breakfast was also pretty good - wholesome and filling which is just what you need when surfing, and nice and healthy with fruit and the home grown figs were delicious :) As for the town, I didn't see that much of it! But the restaurants were all pretty good and you can't really go wrong ordering fish out there.... And the bar scene was also really fun, everyone up for a good laugh and really friendly... And the town felt really safe in the evenings which is a good plus. And as for booking- you were really helpful and were really accurate and prompt which made short notice booking so much easier than I'd expected. Hope that's all of some use - as testament to how much I liked it I'm actually going back in 2 weeks for some more surfing!

Overall the holiday was excellent, thank you. Accommodation was brilliant - very clean, well equipped and the staff were helpful. The surf lessons were just right - not too much messing about out of the water and very practical instruction. Marcel and Lee, in particular, were brilliant. Lagos town was lively and I liked the old pedestrianised bits. The beaches were more interesting than your average beach (though crowded – we went in August)

We had a ball!!!! Best holiday ever and would find it very difficult to go back to a regular sun holiday.  The house was fabulous...so well put together and very comfortable. Everyone was really friendly and we made great friends who will stay in touch with. The house was close to the town centre and there were loads of restaurants to choose from. We had some lovely dinners and some not so great but we made a night of it anyway.  Will definately go back there! Loved the instructors. Surfing was fab!! Had so much fun! Thanks for all your help with the booking. Will speak to you again very soon for maybe a weekend break over there again!

Had a great holiday - Lovely house, Seb and the crew were great, Brett the surf instructor was good fun, all in all we had a great trip. Actually would love to take another one before the end of the summer (surfing in Ireland just doesn't have the same appeal), but not sure that will actually happen! If it does, I'd definitely come back to you.

I have horrific wetsuit tan lines and bruises,but totally worth it. it was a fantastic week!!! the accomodation was perfect, the hosts were amazing, and took care of us so well. Sharon and pete made sure we got there and back. They all organised a movie night and then a BBQ for one of the guys birthday. All in all we felt like it was home from home. The surf was perfect! Im still slightly awful, but I had loads of fun, Dan got on brilliantly. Marcel, the instructor, was fantastic and had loads of time for everybody. Lunch on the beach was so gooood. Lagos was a laugh, some great food and drink at really good prices. We met loads of people over the week and good company really added to the nights out!

Seb, Michaela, Sharon, Pete and the rest of the crew made me feel completely at home from the moment I arrived. The surfing was awesome, though I have still to hit the 'green room out the back'...maybe next time! And all the instructors so friendly, helpful and good fun. Lagos is a beautiful town, lots to see, nice atmosphere (not too touristy); lots of inexpensive wonderful restaurants (Seb is great for recommendations) and plenty of bars ( also very reasonably priced...dangerous!) One of the highlights was the weekly (I think) barbeque on Thursday night, where all the guests and many of the "Off Shore" family took full advantage of Seb and Pete's cooking skills. I can't wait until my next trips

Lagos was amazing thank you, we enjoyed it so much. Casa offshore is gorgeous, everything is kept very clean and well looked after. The crew at casa offshore were all awesome, they made the experience that much better and treated us all like family. It was lovely! Surf was really good, we went to quite a few beaches. Lagos is a very nice town, its not too touristy. The only time you really see tourists is when your out in the bars at night. Unfortunately we didn't get to see too much of the town as we were too busy surfing! There are some really nice restaurants around and incredibly cheap out there as well - we came back with half our holiday money left!

It was a great holiday. I can't praise the hospitality of Michaela and Seb enough - they are such a nice couple. And of course Pete (oh his cooking!!) and Sharon are equally as nice. The best part was probably the chilli and movie night, and the BBQ. It really got the group together. Everyone in the house went out together for dinner most nights which was great - I'm not sure if that's the way it normally works out. There was a good mix of people staying in the house. The breakfast was lovely. The BBQ! had to be the nicest food I've ever had. Overall, I couldn't fault the holiday from the start of the booking with yourself and your accommodation recommendation, promptness of replies, transfers , the acccommodation itself and the surf lessons - all excellent. It was my first time trying a 'solo solo holiday' as such and I would highly recommend it to anyone else that was considering it

The house was in a great location and has good facilities. I loved that they had a BBQ night, I thought this was a great idea and you really got to know the people you were surfing with. I had a blast and would probably go back. The surfing was good, Marcel was brilliant instructor. I thought Lagos town was really a lovely little town with all it cobble streets. I been to the Algrave a few times but had never been there. Lagos really has a great selection of bars, clubs and restaurants, you definitely wouldn't be short of things to do there. I will definitely be recommending it to friends and family

Just recovered from an amazing week in Lagos! The weather was fantastic, the house was beautiful and Seb and the team were great fun. We all had great fun surfing and managed it by the end of the week! Lagos itself was fab...really beautiful town with dozens of great value restaurants with top quality food. The nightlife was hopping aswell. Made great friends and will be back for sure next year.It was great to have everything organised and straighforwardand and be able to just relax and enjoy the holiday

We had a fantastic time in Lagos. The house was brilliant, people were so friendly, everything was very well organised and we had great craic surfing. I would highly recommend a trip to anyone and have been doing so since I came home. Lagos is a very nice town with loads to do, bars were great fun and restaurants had good food and were really cheap. Really enjoyed the whole holiday and wouldn't have a bad word to say about any of it

We had a ball in Lagos, really really nice house, central to everything. Sharon, Pete, Seb and Michaela could not have been nicer or done any more for us or for anyone else in the house, really chilled about everything and the BBQ we had one of the nights was immense! The surf was brilliant, got 5 days of great waves...found the instructors Marcel, Trent and Seb to be the best kind of teachers...they only suggested changing a part of your technique when you had a good ride in which was always constructive, they never pointed out if you did something badly or messed up because you knew yourself you were after making a b**s of it! Could not say anything bad about the other people who were in the house at the same time as us, a plan was made at the beginning to try and go out for dinner every night as a group so that the people who were travelling alone were never stuck for someone to go out with or something to do. Restaurants were gorgeous, beaches were lovely, place was clean and locals and workers were always friendly. Overall, this type of holiday, which neither of us had ever been on, was a great alternative to the usual sun break and we will definitely be doing it again

Casa Offshore was a great place. The breakfast, hot tub and internet were all great extras. The bars and restaurants we went too were all pretty good value, some dodgy little bars along the way but it added to the fun really. We travelled to Lagos by bus, it wasn't bad at all actually and we found our way from the airport no problem and then from the bus station in Lagos to Casa Offshore. The surfing was great, perfect conditions most days, just a couple of mornings when the waves were a bit rough but nothing that stopped us.The instructors were great, we found the lessons really good

I had an absolutely amazing time as did my partner!! Accommodation was excellent - surf was brilliant - the BBQ was great fun!! Sebastian, michaela and sharron are all really really nice welcoming people and the instructors are all top guys too!! we also organised a trip wakeboarding while we were there which was cool too! Loved the format of the stay - we were out eating drinking and having fun with all the other occupants everyday and night :)Lagos is great, a nice mixture of old portugese architecture with a young lively atmosphere. Definately a place to go if you want a sociable interactive holiday I would definately go there again and may even be looking to arrange something again for next year but taking a few more friends along with me this time!!!!- Allan & Tatiana, London

So Lagos..We had a really briliant stay in Cassa Offshore. The owners Seb and wife were so so nice and really accomodating for example one of the nights wanted to stay in and they let us use their BBq..and they let us their Kayak for like 10 euros in total.. Seb took whoever people mountain biking with him most evenings too. Anyway loved the place..thought it was so well organised with regards to the surfing..the 2 sessions down on the beach with the lunch break in between was so perfect.. Really felt we got our moneys worth..would reccomend that house and place to anyone interested in this sort of trip...Also going through surfholidays.com was really easy and would use you guys again

The holiday was fantastic. Sebastian and his crew were very friendly and made everyone feel at home. Casa offshore was a great place to stay and hangout. The house was very comfortable and modern and had everything we could need. Everyone there got on great together. The BBQ night was cool the food Pete and sebstian made was amazing and we had plenty of beers and Craic after. We had 5 days of surfing 3 of those days the waves were fantastic. Probably the first holiday we came back fitter than we left.Lagos was a great town and we found loads of good bars and restaurants there. A meal there was very cheap compared to back home and the food was always good.The weather was great. It was always sunny. We'll definitely go back again when we get a chance

I had a fantastic time! Sabastian and Micquela where so hospitable they really made all of us feel at home! Made some fab new friends! I wasn't great at surfing but thoroughly enjoyed every moment! The instructors Marcel, Trent and Garreth and Sabastian where great and as I wouldn't be confident with my swimming skills I felt so comfortable in the water with them looking after us! I even went ski diving which was amazing! I really felt that it was like one big family for the week! We had a big barbeque on the Wednesday night it was gorgeous. Pete's salads alone called me for seconds ;) lol.I hope to go back and try some more water sports!! I'd recommend to any one solo, couples or groups to go to Casa Offshore!! It's been one of my best holidays and will never go back to just lying on the beach holiday again activities all the way!!

I had an incredible holiday. I can't praise the Casa Offshore crew enough. I was made to feel right at home before I was even in the gate. BBQ was brilliant craic and Lagos is great not that I had any time to explore it before sun down. The perfect holiday to go on if you're travelling alone and up for a bit of a challange. I loved it. I just wish I was still there!
