The hotel has a splendid setting right on the shore: palm trees, crashing Atlantic breakers, great beach to walk along, lovely pool, large rooms with huge picture windows. We found the staff were very friendly and charming, this can be hard to find in Ghana so this was a big plus. The restaurant was delightful, we enjoyed the food. Just... More

Stayed here in March 2013, out of the 4 hotels we stayed at, this was the best. If you want some r&r then it is a great place to stay, pool was excellent and rooms were very comfy, clean and lots of space, plus free wifi too. For breakfast you choose off a menu, it was good and quite sufficient.... More

If you come to Elmina Bay you will find that you are pretty isolated and far from anything in town. Only come here if you want to swim in the ocean or the pool as there isn't much else to do there. The place is clean and the rooms are large though utterly lacking in decor or charm. The restaurant... More

Having just returned from a stay at The Elmina Bay Hotel I can't overstate how happy and impressed our family was with the place. The rooms were spacious clean and comfortable, the pool very good as was the restaurant and the general ambience of the whole resort was one of peace and relaxation. The defining characteristic to me however was... More

Stayed in the beach resort over the Easter weekend and was impressed - The Rome are clean, good size and well laid out. The location is excellent and the pool and beach are beautiful. It's a great location for a trip to Elmina and I'd defiantly reccomend it without hesitation. Only thing that's stopped 5stars was the smallest touches- but... More

I was there just before Easter 2013, and was really impressed. The rooms were immaculate, the food very good, staff attentive. It can't be easy to keep a really nice place like this going with all the hurdles of being in West Africa. The owners clearly invested in making this a place that should be nice for years to come...

we stayed here 3 times: fantastic environment, large well appointed rooms, perfect service, WIFI (also in the room, that's very very difficult to get in Ghana), clean swimming pool, amazing relaxing terrace in front of the room. The location is very good to explore of course Elmina: the interesting Castle, the amazing bay with the fishermen, the outlandish fish market... More

This was the third hotel we stayed at in Ghana and the best: rooms were clean, spacious & both bedrooms air-conditioned. All rooms have beautiful sea and pool views. The restaurant/bar does good food and overlooks the beach. This is a great place to relax. I had a minor health problem during our stay and the owners, Ben and Suzi,... More

Clean. Relaxing. Excellent warm and friendly staff including the owner and his wife. They are obviously determined to make your stay comfortable and worthwhile. A pleasure to be able to stay thanks to Easytrack Ghana our tour agent.
