I just spent 2 weeks at Planters and rate this place very highly. The food was excellent with very good imported beef on the menu. A whole lobster was reasonably priced at around USD$22.00 and the lobster mornay was superb. The service is slow from the time you place your order to seeing any food on the table but what... More

Very Very basic, and every day it is a surprise to have all kind of excuses for not having things in order. You ask for cold milk, you get hot milk. You wait 10 minutes for coffee. and then they forget the milk, or you have to collect a spoon at another table. Funny funny. Same people there every day... More

I stayed in Planters Lodge for about 3 weeks from the tail end of Oct- mid Nov. I found the room (14) to be immaculate, spacious and very comfortable. There was a good selection of TV channels and a fairly reliable fast internet service. Any issues with the internet were resolved promptly by the hotel staff. At the time of... More

Although during my stay for work, renovations were ongoing to the pool and restaurant, disruption was minimised, although if I had wanted to use the pool I would have been disspointed. Very cmart, clean and well equipped - I stayed in the executive room upstairs which was very good quality. I would stay there again - if the firm is... More

"Whoever runs this place, goes by a high standard of excellence". That's the first thing I thought when we drove onto the grounds of Planter's Lodge. It is a fantastic place to escape to for the weekend. The staff are attentive and friendly but what stood out was the food! Had a prawns dish that still brings a smile to... More

Just a mind-blowing experience. Didn't want to leave the hotel grounds. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Perfect getaway. Loved the steak and lobster. Staff were bending over themselves to please. At $200 per night it was worth every bit. We stayed in the lovely garden rooms, though I did get to peek in the plush executives suites. Definitely going... More

Staff are helpful, friendly and efficient. Stayed here while trying to find accommodation in Takoradi and felt like I was at home. The food was always excellent and even though renervations seemed constant, the overall atmosphere was idealic.

I stayed here for 7 nights during a business trip in late July, It is a very clean, well-run establishment that takes full advantage of the currently hot economy in Ghana. At the rates they charge for a bare-bones room you should get hot water for a shower every morning. This eventually got better after I complained but it took... More
