  Wonderful stay

  Barbados is a lovely country. We rented a suit that was large enough for my family of six. The hotel's three pools are out of this world and Accra beach is wonderful. Meals and drinks at the hotel are a bit pricey and we just ran across the road for meals' Lots to do in the island!

  Disappointing Stay—Website Misleading, Outdated, Poorly Maintained, Limited Recourse

  Be aware that Accura Beach labels certain rooms as Ocean Front even when the view is mostly of the pool. An “Ocean Front” room can have only about a 20% side-angle view of the ocean from one corner of the balcony, with the remaining 80% facing directly toward the pool. Also, website photos show hot tubs on some balconies, but most appear nonfunctional. Mine didn’t work, which was disclosed in my confirmation letter seven weeks prior, and staff admitted they haven’t worked for months. And, payment in full is required at check-in, leaving little recourse if you’re unhappy with your room. As many other reviews have stated, the property itself is in serious need of maintenance. In my room alone: - The deadbolt didn’t work. - Curtains were filled with holes (I counted at least a dozen in one panel). - The headboard had missing pieces. - The sink stopper didn’t function, and the shower leaked onto the floor despite my attempts to contain it. - The sofa upholstery was fraying, and the closet had very few hangers. - Elsewhere, I saw multiple issues: neighboring rooms were closed for “maintenance problems,” reportedly water leaks; guests were locked out because of dead door batteries; pool tiles were missing in large sections; pool area sun tarps were torn and missing; carpets were stained in many locations; and room-service trays sat outside doors for nearly 24 hours. On the positive side, the location is good, the beach is attractive, and the pool is large. Cleanliness was acceptable despite the tired finishes. Bottom line: Don’t rely on the website photos or room descriptions. If you value a well-maintained property, consider spending a bit more elsewhere for a more comfortable vacation.

  Third visit to Accra, won’t be our last!

  This was our third trip to Barbados and as per our previous two visits we chose to stay at Accra again. Last time we visited we had Sarah’s parents with us and this time we came with Donna’s parents. As always we were greeted warmly at reception by the lovely staff and given the keys to our rooms. Once again we had two Ocean Suites and they were just as we remembered; clean, spacious and with amazing views from the balcony. After spending a relaxing afternoon on the hotel’s beautiful beach we had dinner that evening in the hotel’s Coco Patch restaurant. It was Italian night and the food was incredible. So full of flavour and we all really enjoyed what we chose. It was so lovely to have drinks in the Sand Bar with the incredibly hardworking general manager Suresh. He is always absolutely delighted to see us and makes us feel so welcome. He is one of the reasons we keep returning to Accra as he makes you feel like family and goes above and beyond to make sure you have a lovely stay. I have to give a special mention to some of the staff too - DeShawn, Kristin and Turtle from the pool/beach bars who work so hard in such hot weather and make amazing drinks. Fabio and Sylvester at the Sand Bar who always serve lovely drinks with a smile. And sweet Sarah at breakfast. They all helped make our stay wonderful. There are unfortunately some not so great reviews on here about Accra but I really don’t understand them at all. Everything about the hotel is lovely. We have travelled all over the world over the last eight and a half years and the only place we have ever returned to is Barbados, and we would never stay anywhere else. Thank you for another amazing stay Accra! We will see you again!

  Not great

  Not a 4-5* hotel. Stayed here in August 2025, firstly I will start off with the pro’s because, this hotel location is amazing. Lovely private beach, close to loads of food places, easy to get into Bridgetown and St Lawrence Gap, plus loads of lovely local beaches. The rooms are nice and clean, and the bed was comfy, fresh linen every day and a fantastic fridge I could keep drinks and my babies food in. There’s an array of shops across the road, mini mart selling water for $1 which is $5 in the hotel (Bajan dollars). Super handy. And the air con in the room was great. Here are the negatives: - Pool wasn’t the cleanest - Pool bar only open 2 hours per day - Food in hotel is not nice - Hotel is used for events and conferences so very very busy on certain days and impossible to get peace and quiet - Staff not proactively trying to speak to hotel guests about noise - Nothing for children to do but claims to be child friendly - Reception is always busy yet there’s only ever 1 person working there - Cot for baby was rock hard and I had to pad it out with blankets and towels - Pool never closes so there are people having parties at 11pm in the pool whilst my baby was trying to sleep (you could hear through the balcony door) And to finish off, my biggest complaint and why I would never be returning: There are kids that have swimming contests from other islands that stay here every year and the adult to child ratio is pretty much 50 kids to 2 or 3 adults. It was extremely annoying during the day trying to have my baby nap with the noise but the worst thing and what ruined my stay was at 1am one of the kids kicked our room door, so hard that the lock cap came off the handle, and it woke my baby up who was then screaming for 2 hours. We were up all night. So distressing. And we complained about it, not much compassion just offered all inclusive for 2 days to make up for it but the food wasn’t nice so only ate there once. Would have rather not had it and have the children removed from the hotel for disrespecting other guests. Their “responsible” adult didn’t give a toss. So it’s no wonder they behaved like that. More to the point, why does the hotel accommodate such parties when they come every year and ruin it for other guests? Even if we didn’t have a 7 month old baby, I wouldn’t want to stay here again.

  Horrible Experience!!

  Most horrible hotel I ever stayed at in all my travels. Got our room over an hour and a half late, after 4:30pm (Check-in is at 3pm), even though I requested an early check-in because we had an autistic child with us and he has to eat and take his meds and rest by certain times. When we finally got our rooms, the floor was dirty, hair was below the bathroom sink and the bathroom tap in one room was broken off. (We had two rooms). Hair dryer in one room was not working, safe in one room was locked and could not be opened. Staff didn't seem to care to help. Carpet in the main hallway was VERY nasty with trash and looked nasty. If you're going for the dark dungeon experience, then walk down the hallways of this hotel. Poorly lit. The only saving grace was the beach on which this hotel is located. Will NEVER be staying there again.
