Review of Staying at Ilaji Resorts: 10 Interesting facts

We arrived Ibadan on a beautiful Saturday morning, we took the Lagos- Ibadan train.

It was my second time using the train in Nigeria, the first time was to Abeokuta in July 2021. I had a good experience with the train. I really enjoyed the ride. We purchased the business class ticket going to Ibadan for N4,000 and the economy ticket coming from Ibadan back to Lagos for N2,600 to experience both. The differences are the same differences stated in the Abeokuta blog post.

Ilaji Hotels and Resorts Center is located at, Oloyo Village, Off Ona-Ara Local Government Secretariat, Akanran, Local, Government Area, 112106, Ibadan.

It was an almost 2 hours drive from the train station to Ilaji resorts. We learnt that its usually not supposed to be more than 40 minutes to an hour but due to some constructions ongoing on the normal route, an alternative route has to be passed to get to Ilaji resorts plus some small traffic here and there.

Below are the  rates at Ilaji resorts as at August 2022:

We stayed in the silver room. You can check out videos of the silver room here and pictures and reservation contacts, other information here .

The rooms are furnished with: bed(s), air conditioner, television, working area, chairs, water heater, shower, toilet, zinc etc.

Ilaji resort houses lodging facilities, a mini zoo, restaurant and bars, swimming pools, local monuments, children arena, a stadium, worship centers, event hall, an outdoor art gallery,sitting area, worship centers  etc.

Ilaji resorts is very beautiful, serene, peaceful, calm and more.

A major recommendation I have that needs improvement is when it comes to food they have different restaurants, outdoor grilling spot, a mini mart etc. however, in most of these restaurants, the menu options were very limited and they also did not look nice. In one of the cafeteria’s, we had to eat cold white amala. It costs N1,500 for the amala,ewedu, 1 meat, 1 fish and a bottle of water.In the restaurant, inside the hotel; a plate of jollof rice and goat meat for N3,800 was not worth it, the meat given was mostly bone and when I complained nothing was done to change it.

I have written about Ibadan before,  click here to read.

I will be writing two more blog posts in this series:

A review of staying at IITA (International Institute of Tropical Agriculture)

The lounge was also a good chilling spot and I had a bottle of chilled malt here.

Interesting Places to visit in Abuja; 2022 edition. click here to read.

I arrived the airport early enough to be able to catch my flight. I had checked in online and gotten my boarding pass and seat number so I only needed to check in luggage at the airport which I did and got a tag for it; boarding passes were confirmed at different points and other checks were done; hand luggage, shoes etc was also scanned through the detector.

Green Africa’s shuttle buses drove us after the checks to close to where the aircraft was both going to Abuja and coming back from Abuja.

There was enough leg room to stretch.

I boarded and listened to the safety instructions,read the safety instructions pamphlet and listened to soft music that was played in the aircraft.

Soon, it was time for taxiing, take off afterwards and it was a smooth flight to and fro. I really enjoyed the flight especially the views I got to see, what a wonder! This beautiful earth God has created, I sat by the window which enabled me enjoy great views better.

I made use of the lavatory while going from Lagos to Abuja and it was clean.

We were served a bottle of Lasena water both going to Abuja and coming back to Lagos.

The check in procedure for coming back to Lagos was similar to that of going to Abuja, the major difference was that we were given printed boarding passes and there are larger waiting areas in Abuja than in Lagos.
