The hotel was nice and every room had a view of the pool. It was quite enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious with made to order omelets and delicious fruit.
We indicated 3 people staying upon our reservation and they initially tried to charge us. Luckily we printed our reservation and were able to ensure beds for everyone.
The resort was beautifully designed and appointed. The food was good but not great, if we return we would order the gf the menu not the buffet. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Our Stay was great! The food was delicious and Emmanuel our front desk concierge was accommodating to all our needs. We will definitely be back here to stay. Keep up the great work!
Room was very clean and very well decorated. The buffet breakfast had nice selection. Staff extremely efficient, helpful and professional. Definitely would stay there again and highly recommend.
I loved my stay here. The staff was incredibly accommodating and professional. My room was beautiful and looked exactly as shown on the pictures. Nice gym and pool area and the landscaping is beautiful.
Loved the spacious room & hot shower. Great A/C. Loud music late at night and early in the morning coming from out in the courtyard. Food was delicious at the restaurant, but took a very long time to be served off of the menu. Stick to the buffet! All staff were helpful and friendly.
Rooms are nice and in good condition. Beautiful garden. Not a lot to do in the area but there are poolside parties on some evenings. Staff is very friendly. The food is just okay. Breakfast was a little bland. The poolside menu was good. The chicken burger is mostly bread but the chicken club sandwich was better. Great place to relax if you’re not looking for much to do.

The staff seemed nice. The food that was available was subpar. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space inside the room. What I did not understand is that there were two of us in the room but only one slipper, bathrobe, and one wash cloth, smart of me for bringing my own cloth. And for the days we were there I had to ask for them after the cleaning of the room was done. No iron and iron board available, keep that in mind. Checkout should have been a breeze this morning, all fees were paid for, staring at the screen for a while then pulling out the POS device was questionable.
This used to be a great hotel just few years ago. I've stayed here on many occasions on my trips to Ghana. Heard its under a new management and they are doing a poor job maintaining this facility.
Pros:
-The staff I met were friendly as always. Their old manager used to engage with the customers and sometimes will request to join you for breakfast. Customers really looked forward to that. Heard the new manager is not about that life.
-Breakfast was good but the varieties now compared to the last time I was there.
Cons :
-Water damages on the walls and in the ceilings
-Mold in the bathrooms
-Pool was horrific to even look at. I was hoping to do some laps when planning for my trip. I only saw one individual get close to it and dipped their legs in throughout my stay.
-They are now charging $150 to do a photoshoot on their premises and it has to be before 6pm. That's apparently a new rule which is even weird and also disappointing since that was not listed on Expedia. Typical Ghana though, they will try every means to make money from outside especially.
I'm happy I discovered this property in Cape Coast. It is by far the best hotel in the arena. We stayed at a very nearby property last year and wish I had known about this hotel. I will be back in two months,

Expedia promised a price and I was charged more. The markup is not the issue but rather that Expedia did not guarantee the rate at which I had reserved months ago.
