Luxury Living in Abuja: Nicem Apartments Await You!
Okay, buckle up, because we're diving deep into Nicem Apartments in Abuja. Forget those cookie-cutter reviews, you're getting the raw, unfiltered truth (and hopefully, a chuckle or two) about whether this place actually delivers on its "Luxury Living" promise. And, because I'm a sucker for a good deal and a comfy bed, I'll throw in a booking offer that'll make you seriously consider trading your current digs for a Nicem experience.
First Impressions: Glitter and Grit (Mostly Glitter, Thankfully)
Pulling up to Nicem, you get that Abuja "new money" vibe. Gleaming glass, imposing gates, and a lobby that's probably fancier than my actual apartment. Okay, maybe not that fancy, but you get the point. Check-in was a surprisingly smooth affair. Contactless, efficient – I actually like not having to awkwardly make small talk after a long flight. Bonus points for the 24-hour front desk and the doorman. Makes you feel a little less alone in a city that can sometimes feel a little… well, lonely.
The Room: My Sanctuary (and the Minor Quibbles)
Okay, the room. This is where the "Luxury Living" really gets tested. And, for the most part, it passes with flying colors. My place had an extra-long bed (THANK YOU, Nicem, for anticipating the Nigerian height situation!), a seriously comfortable sofa, and a balcony with a killer view – perfect for late-night contemplation (and judging the fashion choices of passersby, let's be honest). The soundproofing was a godsend; Abuja traffic can be brutal. The air conditioning, thankfully, worked like a champ. Seriously, I'm not sure I could survive in a city like Abuja without a reliable AC. The Blackout curtains! Heaven!
Minor niggles: The Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at times (though the free Wi-Fi in all the rooms is still a major win). And, while the complimentary tea was lovely, the mini-bar felt a bit…light.
The Amenities: Spa Days, Fitness Frenzies, and Poolside Bliss
Now for the fun stuff. Let's get this straight: I NEED a good pool. Nicem delivers big time. That pool with a view is a real showstopper. Spent a whole afternoon just soaking up the sun and pretending I was a sophisticated international jet-setter (even though I was probably just squinting at my phone for too long). The Fitness center is surprisingly well-equipped. I actually managed to sweat (gasp!) and pretend I knew what I was doing with the weights. The Sauna and Steamroom were perfect for unwinding afterward.
My Ultimate Nicem Experience - The Spa (and a Minor Misunderstanding)
I love massage. It's a nonnegotiable. And that Spa was a slice of heaven. I booked a body scrub, body wrap and a massage, which was phenomenal. The pressure? Perfect. The scents? Divine. I even managed to fall asleep, which, for me, is the ultimate endorsement. Then, however, there was a slight misunderstanding. I thought it was included in the package. But, no. It wasn't. The price was a bit high, which slightly bummed me out.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Foodie Heaven (Almost)
Nicem's got a good range of options. The restaurants offer an international flavor (with Asian cuisine available, yum), a bar for pre-dinner cocktails, and the poolside bar is perfect for grabbing a quick bite or a drink. The room service is 24 hours, so you can grab some snacks or your favorite meal.
Important Note: I should mention, the Breakfast [buffet] was pretty standard. I'm a sucker for a full English breakfast, and while the Nicem version was good, I wouldn't call it amazing. Also I want to say that, the Coffee shop is great, the desserts are the bomb!
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Secure (and Sanitized!)
In the age of… well, everything… this section is critical. Nicem takes cleanliness seriously, which is a big plus. Everything looked and smelled clean, from the lobby to the rooms. They have Anti-viral cleaning products, Professional-grade sanitizing services, and Room sanitization opt-out available - for the environmentally conscious amongst us!
Accessibility: For Everyone! (Mostly)
Nicem caters to everyone and this is truly something to be celebrated. The facilities for disabled guests are great and you can access the facilities without any issues.
Getting Around: Smooth Sailing (Mostly) Airport transfer is available; car park is also available with free of charge.
Services and Conveniences: Everything You Need (and More)
This is where Nicem REALLY shines. From the Concierge who can sort out practically anything to the Daily housekeeping that keeps everything spotless, Nicem has your back.
- Additional points, for the Convenience store, Dry cleaning and Laundry service.
For the Kids: Family Fun! They are Family/child friendly with Kids Facilities. Verdict
Nicem Apartments is a solid choice for a luxury stay in Abuja. The rooms are comfortable, the amenities are top-notch, and the staff is generally friendly and helpful. While there are a few minor quibbles (Wi-Fi, the price of the spa), the overall experience is positive.

Escape to Paradise: Le Gorgoni Tropea's Breathtaking B&B
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is a rough draft of a luxurious, potentially disastrous, and definitely messy adventure in Abuja, Nigeria. And it's all starting at Nicem Luxury Apartments. Let's pray I don't accidentally book a flight to Oshogbo.
Abuja: The Concrete Jungle (and Hopefully, a Few Beautiful Things) – A Totally Unreliable, but Hopefully Memorable, Schedule
Day 1: Arrival – Glamour, Glam, and Existential Dread (probably)
- Morning (Roughly 9 AM): Land at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. Okay, breathe. Try to remember I'm supposed to look sophisticated, not like I just wrestled a rhino for my luggage. Pray the visa process isn’t a bureaucratic nightmare. Seriously, I've heard stories.
- (Maybe) 10 AM: Pre-booked cab to Nicem Luxury Apartments. I did the research (read: googled) and it seems swanky. Pray the photos aren’t heavily filtered. I've been fooled by online listings before…(looks pointedly at the abandoned shack I once rented in Bali).
- Around 11 AM… maybe, maybe not: Check-in – Assuming the staff aren't judging my travel attire (jogging pants are comfy, okay?). Gotta find that balcony, because I require a view! Is the internet decent? This is crucial for… research, obviously. And Instagram.
- Afternoon (Whenever I finally emerge from unpacking and existential crisis): Explore the apartment. Gaze at the view. Critically assess the decor. Is it actually luxurious? Or just… expensive? Take approximately a million pictures for the 'gram, because duh.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Venture out. I think there's a shopping mall nearby. Or maybe a market? Honestly, anything to get a sense of the place. My hopes are high on a good experience and a way to experience the culture. Maybe I'll find some amazing street food, though my stomach is already doing nervous somersaults.
- Evening: Dinner at a restaurant recommended by the concierge (if Nicem has a concierge, which I strongly hope it does). Somewhere with air conditioning and, preferably, no rogue insects. Pray I don't accidentally order something I can't pronounce, and then end up with a plate of goat eyeballs! Gulp.
- Night: Collapse in a heap of exhaustion and jet lag. Write in my travel journal (if I remember to pack it). Maybe watch some Nigerian movies. Or maybe just stare at the ceiling and wonder what the heck I got myself into.
Day 2: Culture Shock and Culinary Adventures (or Disasters)
- Morning: Breakfast. Probably in the apartment, unless I'm feeling brave and the hotel has a breakfast buffet. Again, insects. Please, no insects. Try the local coffee. I'm usually a tea person, but I have to embrace the culture, right?
- Mid-Morning: A visit to the National Mosque. I'm excited, and also nervous. I'm not exactly known for my cultural sensitivity (that Bali shack situation again…). Gotta remember to dress respectfully. Learn a few basic Nigerian phrases. "Thank you" is probably a good start.
- Lunch: Okay, this is where it gets interesting. I'm trying a local restaurant, away from the Westernized hotels. The research (google again) says "Suya." I think it's grilled meat. Emphasis on think. Could be the best thing ever, or a complete meat-related disaster. I'm steeling myself.
- Afternoon: Visit the National Museum or maybe the Arts and Crafts Village. Gotta get some souvenirs, even if I only find the usual kitsch. Aiming for unique, but settling for "doesn't look like it was made in China."
- Late Afternoon: Explore the city a bit more. Driving in Abuja? Sounds like an adventure. Might use a taxi. Or, if I'm feeling truly daring, attempt the local bus system. (I'm totally chickening out on that one, aren't I?)
- Evening: Dinner. Maybe try a different restaurant. Maybe stick to the hotel, if the Suya experience leaves me traumatized. The emotional rollercoaster of trying new food is real! And expensive! And worth it, probably.
- Night: Journaling. Reflecting. Wishing I had packed more Immodium. Wondering if I can survive another day of this… without losing my mind.
Day 3: Relax, Rejuvenate, and Regret (Maybe)
- Morning: Sleep in! If the jet lag gods are kind. Maybe order room service. Or maybe just stare at the ceiling for a while. Both are equally appealing.
- Mid-Morning: Spa day! Nicem better have a spa. I demand a massage. And a facial. And maybe a pedicure, if I'm feeling particularly fabulous. This is the luxury I came for!
- Lunch: Light lunch by the pool (if there's a pool). A salad? Something healthy? I'll try. But I'm also secretly craving more Suya. Maybe.
- Afternoon: Downtime. Read a book. Write. Stare out the window. (Seriously, what is that view?) Maybe (just maybe) I'll finally attempt to do some real work. Or maybe I’ll just nap.
- Late Afternoon: Prepare for departure or stay another day. Have a final meal. Reflect on the trip. Did I have fun? Did I embarrass myself? Did I eat anything I regret? (Spoiler alert: Probably yes.)
- Evening: Pack. Say goodbyes. Or, if I'm lucky, decide to extend the trip a few days. Why not? Am I completely broke? Yes. Worth it? Definitely. Unless the next day goes sideways. Then probably not.
Important Imperfections and Ramblings:
- Transportation: I'm terrible at navigating cities. Expect me to get lost. A lot. "Lost" might involve a long, confusing taxi ride, or a particularly awkward interaction with a local. Embrace the chaos!
- Food: I'll try anything once. Twice, if it doesn't kill me the first time. Be prepared for descriptions of both culinary triumphs and unspeakable horrors.
- Pacing: This itinerary is a suggestion. My mood dictates my schedule. Expect spontaneous naps, unexpected detours, and a healthy dose of procrastination.
- Emotions: Expect everything. Excitement, fear, wonder, boredom, exhaustion, elation. I'm an emotional whirlwind. Buckle up.
- Honesty: I'll document the good, the bad, and the utterly ridiculous. No sugarcoating. This is real life.
- The "Suya Incident" (anticipatory dread): This will probably be the defining experience. I am both terrified and intrigued. If I don't mention it, assume I'm either still in the hospital or deeply regretting my life choices.
This is Abuja, baby! Let's do this (and pray for no gastric distress). Wish me luck, I'm going to need it. And maybe pack extra toilet paper. Just in case. And if you happen to know a good travel insurance policy… well, you get the idea. Let the adventure commence!
Kolkata's Hidden Gem: Hotel O New Silver Inn - Unbeatable Luxury!
So, what even *is* this thing? Like... literally, what are we talking about?
Think of it as a poorly organized, highly caffeinated tour of my... well, *everything*.
Why bother with all this FAQ nonsense? Can't you just, you know, *talk*?
Also, it's a way to organize the chaos that is my brain. Or, at least, *attempt* to organize it. (Spoiler alert: it’s not always successful.) And, because, well, I felt like it. Is that enough of a reason?
Are you, like, a real person? Or a robot programmed to spew out FAQs? (Because honestly, sometimes the robot seems more likely.)
If I were a robot, wouldn’t I have *perfect* grammar? Wouldn't I be able to give concise, logical answers? (See? Proof!) And honestly, the cat videos are the *best* part of my day. Don't judge. Oh wait... I'm judging myself already. Carry on.
So, like, *what* are we actually *talking* about here? What’s the damn *topic*?
- My own experiences, good, bad, and hilariously awkward.
- My Opinions, which, let's be honest, are probably wrong at least half the time.
- My day to day life. The glorious mundanity of simply *existing*.
- And probably, lots and lots of random tangents.
What kind of stuff goes down here? Spill the beans!
- Rants and Raves: Because, c'mon, *someone* has to complain about that terrible traffic.
- Unexpected Insights: Sometimes, in the midst of the chaos, a genuine thought will pop up. Don't hold your breath, eh?
- Humorous Mishaps: The time I accidentally set off the smoke alarm making toast? Yeah, that's going in.
- Emotional Vulnerability: I'm not afraid to open up a little. (But don't expect *everything*. Gotta keep *some* secrets, right?)
Think of it as a rollercoaster: prepare for highs, lows, loops, and the occasional moment where you *really* question whether you should have gotten on in the first place. (Totally worth it, though.)
Can I ask you questions? And if so, HOW?!
So, yes, ask away. Just... be patient. And maybe don't ask about the price of avocados.
Okay, I'm in. But… what if I disagree with you? What if I think you're completely wrong?
I'm even *more* likely to be wrong!
So, yeah, disagree away! I love hearing other perspectives – even if I secretly think you're completely and utterly off your rocker. (Kidding! *Mostly* kidding.) Constructive criticism is more than welcome... as long as you're not a jerk about it. Life's too short for that.
