Accra Beach Resort and Spa

John Pas

Be very careful before booking this hotel. We booked it directly after a cruise since the cruise line offered it as an option and the price seemed reasonably priced compared to other mainstream brands like Marriott and Hilton and was right on the beach. Outside of the beach access and pool area (decent pool area with limited seating when the pool was open for use but not very clear) that's about the only thing going for it. We lucked out and were able to get a room early, but that was the only good thing that happened during our stay. We saw other guests from our cruise waiting for hours for their room in the lobby way past the check-in time at 3:00 PM. The hotel and rooms are very worn and outdated, the shower head was weak, the room refrigerator froze everything regardless of what the temperature was set at, we tried to buy a few bottles of water our last night and were told they didn't have any and we could leave the hotel to go buy bottled water across the street. Probably the biggest disappointment was the staff who could not have been more disinterested in answering questions we had, seating and serving our food at the restaurant (we were going to say hi to our friends and there was a simple rope separating us by 5 feet that could easily be unhooked even though the staff went through it), but the food server told us rudely we had to walk around through the restaurant like this was some sort of special VIP event), and seemed almost upset that we were staying at the hotel. It seemed to take them quite a bit of effort to answer the easiest of questions like exchanging towels, getting our TV working after it just stopped, asking if someone was going to come to the bar to provide us and other guests waiting for drinks, and in any overall interaction with them. Barbados is an expensive island, so when we come back (the island itself has a lot to offer and great scuba diving and almost everyone else we've interacted with have been very nice) we will look at renting a house or condo or spending the money on a known hotel brand. Not sure about other Accra hotels, but we will never stay with this brand again. Safe travels! PS We did see the GM when we left and he was genuinely apologetic and concerned with our service. He did comp our incidentals which was appreciated.

Good location, however the front desk staff were incredibly unpleasant, i was lied to, told to come down stairs for water only to be told that she just found out they “ran out”, only for her to be caught in her lie by fellow guests. the Arrived to a dirty room and got relocated.

Its our 3rd stay at the Accra resort. We love that its a quiet resort. This time we were given a room with a great view of the ocean, however there is a very loud fan in the washroom and the door to the balcony feels like it will fall apart each time we try to open it. Its very difficult to open and close it. These should have been checked before allowing guests to have that room. We arrived on the day the seaweed arrived as well. Hopefully, it will clear up before our week is out. If you enjoy quiet and access to many restaurants and a beautiful beach without the seaweed this is a resort to choose.

Generally nice hotel with ok room size. Pool is large and clean, great for kids. The rooms are dated and in need of repair. The first room we had didn't have cold water, and the safe stopped working. After moving to a new room, the shower head was slightly broken, but we made do. In the quiet season there is space to keep moving you until you are happy, but in peak season, you'll probably be stuck with problems. Staff were friendly, but everything works on 'island' time (i.e., quite slow)

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.
