Elmina Beach Resort

I made a booking to stay there, later I was told the room I wanted was not available for the dates I chose, so I asked for a refund. It’s been ages and they haven’t sent my money. They keep giving excuses upon excuses

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.

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!
