The Accra Beach hotel had been a south coast fixture for years. I last stayed here 25 years ago and would have hoped for some upgrades in the interim. Sadly not.

The Accra Beach hotel had been a south coast fixture for years. I last stayed here 25 years ago and would have hoped for some upgrades in the interim. Sadly not. It’s tired and run down and so are the staff. We had to ask for our room to be made up at 6pm after being out all day. The front desk didn’t answer their phone. Actually I had to use my cell as the house phone didn’t offer a dial tone. I ate breakfast and one other meal in the dining room. Very average. Plus they had loud and truly awful karaoke on Friday night. Avoid that or bring ear plugs. Eat out, but not at Bubbas across the street! Fortunately, there’s the beach. It’s one redeeming feature.

The upside is that the hotel is situated on a beautiful beach. Unfortunately, we had several problems, perhaps due to the holidays being so busy. Our 2 rooms were not ready despite being approximately 5pm and several others checking in also did not get their rooms until after 7 pm. The rooms themselves were quite dated and both had issues with noise. One had a broken air conditioner. The buffet was also not great and priced pretty high. With some sprucing up of the hotel regarding maintenance and staffing this could be very good with its beach location. I definitely would try a different hotel on a return trip to Barbados. Read less

The worst hotel I have stayed in for decades. From no hot water to a jacuzzi that has no plug and doesn't work, scuffed furniture, faulty TV, abysmal and overpriced food and indolent staff, I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Looks like it hasn't been renovated since the 1970's. The Maintenance Woman didn't even know which tap was… Read more
The worst hotel I have stayed in for decades.

Looks like it hasn't been renovated since the 1970's. The Maintenance Woman didn't even know which tap was hot and which cold so she ran cold into the tepid jacuzzi. Fawlty Towers has nothing on this place - it is truly terrible. Steer clear. Read less

This hotel is located on beautifully-manicured grounds on a beautiful stretch of beach. A small shopping center across the street has good dining choices. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and the housekeeping was immaculate. We ate at the hotel restaurant only once, for Sunday breakfast. We found the buffet to be overpriced. We later learned from fellow travelers that a smaller and more reasonably- priced breakfast is available to order from the menu, but the staff did not inform us of this option. Our biggest disappointment was with the swim-up bar, which was a significant factor in our decision to select this hotel. The bar was closed for the entirety of our stay, with no explanation. When I asked, I was always told that it would re-open, “maybe tomorrow.”. Tomorrow never came, and the bar did not appear to even be stocked. This lack of transparency and honesty from hotel management was disappointing. Read less
