I was staying in Ghana with a friend who lives very close to the hotel so I took advantage of the open pool policy. For 10 Cedis (about £3.20) you can access the pool all day. It's right next to the sea with lovely tall coconut palms. The pool itself is clean cool and well kept. But the issue in... More

We stayed at EBR. We had searched for prices on hotels.com. We told the recpetionist this and was given a discount. We arrived after a long day of travel, just wanted to go for dinner and go back to the room for sleep, but the room was horrible. It was not cleaned well, hot water did not work, the frontdoor...

I stayed there a couple of times, mostly on business and due to a perceived lack of alternatives. Well, we now have several, mostly because I really didn't want to stay there anymore at this abysmally low value. I can totally relate to the customer who had to change rooms because nothing worked: AC not working most of the time,... More

Stayed at the Elmina Beach Resort for four days for meetings. I'm glad I had read the reviews in advance - at least the can of Raid on the bedside table wasn't a surprise. The first room provided featured a bathroom floor riddled with the corpses of giant dead ants. When I asked for that to be cleaned up the... More

The resort is fairly run down but saying this the resort is fairly good by Ghana standards. The food is safe and the staff are pleasant..This hotel is in a reasonable beach front area and caters for expatriates... The overall standard needs to be taken in the context of the lack of good alternatives.

Great location, good internet, and the food is even OK. The bar is a very pleasant place for a beer BUT the whole facility is just falling apart. In my room, I heard 1 brief ring out of the phone, but there was no way I could call out, the water heater was broken, the doors looking over the beach... More

We stayed one night, outdated, old, the bed was really uncomfortable, sheets and bedding really old, cockroaches crawling on the desk- though they do provide you with bug spray. It was just one of those places you can't relax because your skin is crawling. The breakfast was terrible, not many options and not really fresh and country western music playing... More

I cannot recommend Elmina Beach Resort. It appears to have been a grand place once upon a time and its location on the beach is ideal. Today however, there are too many inconsistencies and gaps in service and atmosphere here. Next time, I will surely try one of the other/newer area resorts in this class. I stayed just two nights...

I have always stayed in this hotel while travelling from Abidjan to Accra and found this place very good as compared to other hotels in this area. Love the beach. Yes hotel is old and needs some renovation.

I wanted to sit and watch the ocean and chose to come to Elmina Beach Resort, thinking I would get a table on their outside verandah! A farcical chronicle ensued. It was mid afternoon, and I had to ask for a table and chairs. After several minutes I had to look for a staff for menu. I ordered iced tea,... More
