A shame, this, because it must once have been a great property, right on a lovely palm-shaded beach with a beautiful view of Elmina Castle in the distance. The food was dreadful, nothing in the rooms worked (only one of the three lamps in my room, for example), and staff attitudes ranged from unconcerned to embarrassed. For what it offers,... More

I've stayed here twice on someone else's suggestion and will now look for alternatives in the area. It may be one of the best-known hotels in the area, but it is poorly managed and poorly maintained. Price negotiations and billing are an ordeal. There is always something in the room that is broken, breaking or old (e.g. showers, airconditioners, TVs).... More

A very impressive hotel from outside, nice architecture but not a place for comfortable stay. We went to Elmina Beach Resort hotel for our mid year review meeting. The hotel is just next to the sea, beautiful to look at but no way to go down to the rocky sea. It was very rough and mists were covering the whole... More

Nice and clean even by european standards. Very nice service and a ok price (after discount). Good internet and good AC. Food is expensive, but restaurants close by.

We ended up here after a long drive from Accra, via Kakum and Hans Cottage. Overall i was quite satisfied with the hotel. The rooms we got had a view of the beach and Atlantic. But it's quite noticeable that maintenance has been neglected for a while. Mostly everything metal is a bit rusty, the balcony doors wasnt possible to... More

I really hated this place. The interesting thing is that the facilities aren't that bad. The location is great, right in front of the beach. And the rooms are spacious, with A/C. The food was also okay, if nothing special. But the service was so poor, even by African standards, that we kept running into problems that nobody seemed willing... More

I booked the hotel online because it was close to the Elmina Castle which I intended to visit and because the pricing was reasonable. However I found the hotel, though magnificent in appearance BUT very run down and therefore highly unimpressive. The room was mouldy and damp with ants crawling all over the bathroom. My room looked and felt like... More

At first thought I was shocked at the price. But once inside I was very pleased. The view of the atlantic was awesome. The sunset was one of the best I have ever seen. The staff was well versed and friendly. A short walk along the beach ( rocks to sand) and there is a cool private white sand beach.... More

We stayed at this hotel for a few days. How we regretted it. The worst place ever. Rude staff at the reception, who had no regard as to how to treat you. I don't think they have ever heard of customer service. Our friends who stayed next door had a broken lock, which over the course of days was pointed... More
