Accra Beach Resort and Spa

Neil Dewfield

It is what it is. If you’re looking for 5 star luxury and attention this is probably not the hotel for you. On the other hand, the location is excellent - roughly halfway between Garrison (for Pebble Beach) and St Lawrence Gap (excellent bars restaurants and nightlife). It is right on the beach with ‘free’ loungers and umbrellas both on the beach and around the pools. On the main St Lawrence to Bridgetown Road there are plenty of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance - St Lawrence Gap is an easy 20 to 30 min walk. Our room was well appointed with kettle and filter coffee machine. It was clean and well de orated and the bed was huge clean and comfortable but the real star was the view - right out over the beach to the azure Caribbean. Fantastic. Can’t comment on the food and drinks because we ate out for all our meals and drinks - sampling the many restaurants within easy walking distance. Housekeeping staff are very friendly. Front desk not particularly welcoming, or, it appears, very efficient although several were being ‘trained’. Recommended for location beach and views. It’s just not 5 star service. But if you plan to eat out and sample local life and nightlife, it has everything you need.

Dated hotel & amenities Got water was luke warm in the morning Toiletries only replenished once during 10 night stay Tea, coffee & milk in room not replaced during our stay Taste of Caribbean evening advertised with live music but no music during evening. Pacifiki restaurant only open Mon & wed Swim up bar only open from Friday of Holiday No evening entertainment Music around hotel hit & miss, 1/2 hour of recorded music from pool bar if lucky We didn't see any attention to the Pools regarding cleaning or checking of chlorine levels One of the advertised waterfalls in pools not working at all, the other one on the small pool worked intermittently Internal walls patched up after work needing doing, ill fitting room doors needed to be slammed to close them. No welcome pack in room giving details of events, found out by accident of local artists selling their goods at the hotel one night. No details of excursions available were offered Asked housekeeping why towels haven't been changed & told that we don't have enough to change everyone's today. Definitely not a 4 star hotel but 2 star Convenient base location for eating out, if you are happy for somewhere just to 'get your head down' The best things about the hotel are the great beach it's on and as a base for getting out & about.

We really enjoyed our stay at Accra. The location is great being close to a lot of restaurants/bars/shopping. Beach is amazing, soft white sands and enough waves to keep you entertained in the water with a boogie board or body surfing. Nice pool with a mini grotto and shallow in one area for kiddo’s. Adult pool only available as well but it’s not very inviting and doesn’t connect to the swim up bar. Bar by the beach is popular with guests and locals during happy hour 4-6 but it’s pretty boring otherwise…definitely needs music playing while it’s open which would keep much more of a crowd around. The pool swim up bar also lacks any kind of entertainment or personality. The bar by the front desk just opened days before we left but they don’t have a happy hour for some reason…so walk the 1 minute to the other bar by the beach for half price drinks 4-6. Not a single ice machine for guests was working. If you wanted ice you had to ask staff to get it from their utility room. Breakfast buffet was ok, nothing spectacular. Get a good coffee across the road. Didn’t bother with any dinner here as too many other good spots around. Front desk was great but had some disagreements on a few charges at the end that were completely unnecessary so check your bill when you leave. Management coward behind the door by the front desk and had the desk staff deliver bad news. Left a bad taste at the end of 10 days and thousands of dollars spent for them to squeeze an extra bit of money out (less than $100). Wasn’t worth the effort then as we were trying to leave for airport. Overall, would recommend to stay here for its rooms/views/beach/location/staff.

Don't make my mistake: read the comments. The pictures are .....misleading. The hotel might have looked like this when it saw better days. There are so many unnecessary rules for a vacation stay. (Return the pool towels at check out. You'll save so much time and thank me later). As per their website, they have numerous restaurants and bars. In reality, 1 of each. Other so-called restaurants are being rented for events: graduation, birthdays, and weddings. So, walking around the elegant looking crowd while in flip flops and a towel is normal. Plenty of people working there, but the only person paying attention to you at the reception would be Rachel. The same goes for breakfast: when you enter the breakfast hall there will be at least 5 people on the front desk, and no one will tell you where to sit or the difference between "continnental" breakfast and the full one. Trust me, there is a difference, learned hard way, thinking that our breakfast was included. Not a big deal in terms of money, but it's a good thing to let people know before they enter the facility. The food is delicious, though, and the waiter was extremely polite and nice. Rooms, well, there are plenty of other comments about them. The management really struggles to keep up. The great thing about the hotel is the beach. Beautiful views with clear water, tiny little crabs - amazing. But again, the hotel has so much stuff, but I didn't see at least one person who would try to clean it from trash. To sum up: it might have been my expectation that didn't meet the reality. And if you are like me who is looking for everything to be in one place, so you don't have to worry about anything - keep searching. However, if all you need is a beautiful beach, shower, and bed, then that might be the place. P.s. if the hotel "fun" is too much, there is an amazing tiki bar at the end of the beach.

I visited the hotel for the spa services and I have constantly received lovely service at the Chakra spa and would definitely return. The only thing is the hot tub is usually not working.
