Great location, good internet, and the food is even OK. The bar is a very pleasant place for a beer BUT the whole facility is just falling apart. In my room, I heard 1 brief ring out of the phone, but there was no way I could call out, the water heater was broken, the doors looking over the beach don't shut properly. Someone else in our party went through 3 rooms before they found 1 with a/c and a door lock that worked

We stayed one night, outdated, old, the bed was really uncomfortable, sheets and bedding really old, cockroaches crawling on the desk- though they do provide you with bug spray. It was just one of those places you can't relax because your skin is crawling. The breakfast was terrible, not many options and not really fresh and country western music playing the whole time. The pool doesnt look as nice as what it does in the photo. One good thing was the shower was good, and staff reception were friendly. Instead, its definitely worth staying 10 minutes further past Elmina, at Elmina Bay Resort, it's a million times better.

I cannot recommend Elmina Beach Resort. It appears to have been a grand place once upon a time and its location on the beach is ideal. Today however, there are too many inconsistencies and gaps in service and atmosphere here. Next time, I will surely try one of the other/newer area resorts in this class. I stayed just two nights and could not wait to leave.

1) ROOMS – My room seemed comfortable enough at first. But there were too many details amiss: Clean-looking but musty bedding due to high humidity in the room. Also, because there was little or no padding between the vinyl-covered mattress and the sheets, the sleep was uncomfortably sweaty. The blanket between sheet and comforter needed a washing as there were visible stains there. In my bathroom, the plumbing was awkwardly placed: a very low sink that rocked back and forth, and faucet fixtures placed too low in the shower stall. Another room belonging to a member of my group had a serious cockroach infestation and even found one in her bed! Obviously, this hotel’s insect problems will not be resolved by the individual cans of Raid insecticide that are provided in each room. Also, beware of proximity to the hotel’s night club and its booming music throughout the night.

2) CORRIDORS – Constant sea mist throughout and mysterious greasy spots on steps make all passageways slippery and dangerous. I slipped and fell down the lower portion of a stairway near my room (200s) and a colleague slipped near the bar. Watch out!

3) RESTAURANT/BAR – Painfully slow restaurant service unless one chooses the buffet of course. In general, the selections were uninspiring except for the local dishes which are good. At the bar, simple peanuts or crisps were never available with drinks.

I have always stayed in this hotel while travelling from Abidjan to Accra and found this place very good as compared to other hotels in this area. Love the beach. Yes hotel is old and needs some renovation.
