Elmina Beach Resort

A not a person to write reviews but after reading what some people put i feel i need to write one Never had no cockroach problem no mosquito problem the room was large i had a large bed to sleep on . The shower was clean I had a fridge in my room of which i never used The air con was wicked for me as i love my room ice cold The breakfast and lunch was fantastic i could NOT fault it The staff friendly always greeted me with respect and others Elizabeth is my contact as i am doing an event there and i have found her very accommodating

There are so many things I can say about this hotel and these are just a few; pillows were disgusting, the bathtubs were cracked, the hotel had a bad smell, the food was horrible, and the staff made us feel very uncomfortable with their flirty advances, there were live wires on the beds that shocked us, the water was consistently brown and broke us out, there were roaches everywhere and the hotel looked as if it was falling apart. the general experience was just horrible. I don't think I can ever go back to that hotel again.

I doubt there is a worse hotel than this. If I could give it negative stars I would. The AC didn’t work. The room smelled musty. They provided 1 towel for 2 people, no hand towels, no hand tissue. The tap didn’t work. They don’t provide irons, the laundry will iron for you for a fee. The dinner was barely palatable and they charge extra for water.

We stopped here after visiting Elmina Castle (refer to my write up about the castle - I think it was upfront and a fair review). I wasn't impressed by the façade of the hotel resort but how wrong could I be? looks can be deceiving!. We only stopped for lunch after visiting the castle and was pleasantly surprised with what we'd found. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. You never know what the quality of the food is like until it comes. Now whenever Lobster appears on the menu I always become weary but I needn't have been worried with this place. @ £17 for x6 lobster tails with salad and fries! what a bloody bargain? & there was me cautious ordering the chicken kebabs which were also delicious. One of the others had snapper! also delicious, I just couldn't fault this place, the exterior doesn't do this place justice but that's the magic. We had to bag the lobster up for takeaway as the food we ordered filled everyone up. I would definitely return here for the food itself. The scenery wasn't bad if you'd asked to eat outside before the sea, the atmosphere was great, well worthy of the experience. Don't be put off by the exterior, the food itself more than makes up for it in my view.

The best thing about this hotel is the wonderful staff— helpful, welcoming, friendly, accommodating. The location is very good, it’s a short drive to the Elmina “Castle” (slavery dungeon fortress) with its “Door of No Return”. Heart-wrenching and not-to-be missed. Our room was fairly recently renovated and was fine. The hotel as a whole needs an update, parts of it were shabby and in need of repair. A breakfast buffet and free wifi are included in the price of the room. Two downsides: 1. the restaurant dinner food was not good. Although my daughter and I appeared to be the only non-Ghanaians staying at the hotel, the menu was geared to American and European dishes, which the kitchen was not capable of preparing well. There was only one “Ghanaian Dish of the Day” on the menu. I ordered fish bc we were on the ocean and I could see the fishing boats but the fish was previously frozen and was tough and dry. 2. It’s called the Elmina BEACH hotel but there is no beach!
