Hotels near PIWC, AKOSOMBO, PAROUSIA TEMPLE, Asuogyaman

A mixed review for this one. Hotel itself is a little bit dated, and the rooms are quite small and basic. A strange wooden sliding door to the bathroom was quite awkward. The bathroom is just about big enough to squeeze into and the shower was not great. The bed was as hard as a wooden plank. On the plus side we had a balcony with beautiful views. The food at this hotel was outstanding and some of the best I ate during my 2 week trip around Ghana. We had banku and okra stew, jollof rice and chicken, kelewele and salad. It was very tasty. Breakfast was also nice, omelettes and fruit. The restaurant staff were very friendly. The views from the restaurant terrace are amazing, it overlooks a huge lake and the Akosombo dam. The pool looked nice, there was a live band playing poolside one evening which was ok. However a big negative for this hotel has to be the advertised water sports, which was our main reason for booking. We asked at reception and they showed us the price list of all that was on offer…jet skis, pedaloes, boat trips etc. They arranged transport to take us the 10 minute journey to the lake. When we got to the lake we were told that most of the water sports were unavailable as they were under maintenance. The boat trip was fully booked. So we had to return to the hotel, very disappointed. We told the receptionist who had showed us the list that nothing was available but she said she already knew!!!! And yet she allowed us to waste our time travelling to the lake. The water activities were the reason we chose this hotel and it was VERY disappointing that they were not available. I thought a couple of the receptionists were really quite grumpy and unprofessional and wasted our time. Would not stay there again. But would recommend visiting for a meal!

Royal Senchi is the ”must go” destination in Ghana. All aspects of our visit was great. The icing on the cake was the dinner we had on 25th August. Our hostess, Mavis was great, aided by Margaret who attended us. The professionalism of these two was awesome as were all the staff we encountered. I will recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Ghana.
