5.0/10

Whispering Palms is a unique spot offering plenty of space for relaxation and family fun, which makes it nearly perfect despite its clear shortcomings. The place has its charm with connections to the historic town of Badagry nearby. However, the state of maintenance really detracts from the experience, particularly the high prices for accommodation and food options. While the potential is there, the road access and condition of facilities need significant improvements.

My stay was a mix of ups and downs. The location was peaceful and artistically inspiring, perfect for relaxation and capturing beautiful moments. I loved the pancakes at breakfast, but the room and overall service fell short of expectations. After a long wait to check-in, the room had several maintenance issues, and the dining options were quite limited. It feels like the place has great potential, but a lack of upkeep and attention to guest satisfaction really dampened the experience.
