What a pleasure to arrive at this comfortable, peaceful, beautiful coconut-palm beach resort after the frenetic crush of Cape Coast and Elmina towns. Just looking at the ocean with the palm-lined pristine clean beach is reward enough. Bonus was the friendly, helpful staff and really comfortable room with balcony overlooking the pool and ocean. Extra bonus was the excellent birdwatching... More

The rooms are neat and nicely furnished--nice size. The pool is wonderful. The restaurant has a wide variety and excellent food--lovely to have dinner/drinks watching the ocean. The staff and owners are very helpful. I highly recommend it.

There are two excellent reasons to make this your destination in Elmina. First, the large & well-furnished rooms that all have a beautiful outlook through palm fronds across the southern Atlantic. Second, the friendly and relaxed hosts, a lovely English-Ghanaian couple. We had a really good Easter weekend here. The kids had a lot of fun playing in the ocean... More

the hotel was wonderful; the staff, delightful - all credit to the owners. Elmina is also far more interesting and photogenic than nearby Cape Coast. Highly recommended.

We took our 3 children to this lovely location, and it was like an oasis of cool and calm in the middle of our Ghanaian trip. It is not luxurious, but the rooms were clean, roomy and comfortable, with gorgeous views over the ocean, aircon and hot showers. Tthe sea breeze was refreshing and the swimming pools brilliant - the... More

We stayed here for a few days at the end of an otherwise hectic trip. It was just so good to be able to relax - the pool is beautiful - the best we came across in Ghana and the grounds and rooms kept immaculate. The menu is wide ranging and the portions not too large or too small. It's... More

This hotel is close to the main attractions in the area. It is nicely secluded from the other hotels along what could be called the "main strip" of hotels along the main road. The hotel is relatively new and the owner and staff to their best to maintain the hotel in great shape. Service and the food was excellent. The... More

I have traveled in Ghana twice and have stayed at quite a few hotels all over ghana. This is by far the best. We pre booked 4 nights at Elmina Bay Resort, but decided to stay an extra week. The location is beautiful and private. The owners are sweet and ready to help with anything you may need. The staff... More

Elmina Bay Resort is located west of the Elmina township, around 2-3km from the St George Castle in Elmina bay. Regardless if you are concentrating on Cape Coast or Elmina, visitors will find that Elmina certainly has the greater hotels, and EBR is one of the best. Visitors not using private transport may think the location is a little remote,... More

Recently, my wife and I spent two nights at the Elmina Bay Resort near Accra Ghana. The property is beautifully situated along the beach and the accommodations are clean and very well appointed. The owners, Ben and Suzy were most gracious and gave personal attention to each guest. The food was delicious and overall, this was an outstanding experience. I... More
