Though it was situated on the ocean, the facilities are in need of repair. The approach road to the property is poor and the hotel facilities are dated. The electric went off frequently and water appeared impure.

Had a pleasant stay but was disappointed that there was no internet connection in my room and that was not the first experience. I think Management should endeavour to fix it permanently to facilitate contacts with our loved ones from there. The staff are pleasant and the food was as usual, very good.

The location is really nice and grounds are well kept including the pool, restaurant, gardens and the beach. Two things need improvement. Rooms - air conditions are noisy and it’s difficult to get a good night sleep. Food - dinner was OK but breakfast was very poor with low quality and very little choice. For the price, our stay was OK, but just a bit more attention to detail by management would make it great, especially that the location is really nice.

misunderstanding with hotel.com. they don't have doubles for triple use. they only have mattresses to add which for 170 USD per night I find a scandal. i made a fuss and they upgraded me to the family room. but you should review your booking with them.

Maybe When It First Opened but Not Again!
We sacrificed to stay at this “resort” but after two days of “fails” I had to go. I loved our tour guide but that’s about it. Our room lacked amenities and after complaining of having no television services, it wasn’t fixed and we basically had no entertainment. Our bathroom smelled of wet dog and the water from the faucet was “brown.” We were also charged for someone else’s “snacks” on our bill and our food was cold when we ordered room service. The beach is beautiful and clean; however, I walked around in fear because there were no nets around the coconuts. Guess what, there were falling coconuts everywhere. I was really disappointed.

Beach front location nice with nicely kept grounds. Loud music played by other guests on their portable stereos at the swimming pool ruined the peaceful tropical setting. Management at the pool unable to change the situation. Food not up to the prices charged Fruit ran out at breakfast time, coffee machine broken Wait time for service generally unacceptably long.

More a Motel than Hotel
Coconut Grove the road to this resort is in a bad way - not tarmac. It felt like a “Paradise Lost” The bungalows we stayed in were ok*, sitting room dark and uninviting; kitchen poorly furnished (maybe because we only stayed two nights); swimming is not recommended in the sea. Restaurant - twice we ordered food for 5 and both times 4 dishes arrived and then we waited 30 minutes before the 5th dish came - no apologies or explanations given. Coconut Grove has great potential which the owner and managent need to realise. *In family room second bedroom was not used due to bird droppings on the bed this was reported”.

Setting is very nice, but all else a disaster
I have stayed at this hotel before, 5 years ago, in that time the price has nearly doubled and they have done nothing to the rooms that are very tired. The television did not work, nor the internet, and room service was really non existent, they are charging 4 star prices for a 2 star room and service, it was a ''rip off'' Was very disappointing and a big shame, the owner I understand is very wealthy, and obviously does not care about his guests!

Two nights at the Coconut Grove in Elmina
Wonderful location and setting, beautiful grounds. Excellent food and cooking quality. Staff very pleasant and accommodating. Despite few clients, we had to wait nearly an hour for our room at 4 pm the day of our arrival, though we had reserved. But otherwise, I highly recommend the Coconut Grove Beach Resort in Elmina, Ghana. The rooms are kind of basic but fine, and the TV and A/C worked just fine. Bathrooms and shower are spacious. The main bedroom is also spacious but could use a set of drawers against the wall to allow for more storage. But overall, a nice stay and I will go back someday.

Great activities: golf, horseback riding
One of the 5 hotels we stayed on our 3-week vacation in Ghana, and this is the one my kids enjoyed the most. Oliver at the golf course was warm and amazing- he played golf with them, took them to feed the fish and see the crocodiles, and always had time for them. They still talk about Oliver. My kids enjoyed all the activities at Coconut Grove, including horseback riding and running all over the beautiful grounds. The food was good, especially the grilled snapper with coconut rice. Yummy!! The guys, Mikelos and Emmanuel were very helpful- they went out of their way to make the stay comfortable. I hope they invest in maintaining this property, and plant some lawn grass. We'd definitely love to stay here again on our next trip to Ghana.

Best hotel in elmina
The staff were very friendly. The room was lovely and spacious with a very comfortable bed. The surrounding area was very peaceful with a lovely outdoor area to go for nice long walks. We had fun watching the crocodiles in the crocodile pond. The buffet breakfast was also incredible. It was all round a lovely experience and I would definitely recommend it.

Amazing resort
Was a bit disappointed on arrival at checking in as I had booked two family rooms through Expedia but the staff claimed only one came through and as such there was no availability for the other family room. I had my email confirmation and all from expedia but this seemed to not matter to the staff. After about 15 minutes of faffing about and some raised voices, the problem was fixed and the rest of the stay was amazing.

Sorry I could only stay for one night.
Clean and comfortable, bungalow-style room. Firm, king bed. Nice decor. Bar was a bit noisy, but quieted down around 11. Nice breakfast buffet, right on the ocean. Not a lot of hot water (older model heater) in a shower big enough to throw a party in. Close to Elmina Castle. Beach activities, golf and sun-downers. So relaxing.
