  Accra (again and again)

  Accra Beach Hotel is our go to place in Barbados As regular visitors we love the location on the south coast. It offers all we need in terms of wonderful lush pool area to relax around. Step right onto beautiful golden sand where there is a lovely bay to either sunbathe or take a stroll around. Plenty of beach bars along the boardwalk and nice restaurants The hotel has 3 bars which are tended by great guys always with a smile and welcoming Breakfast is plentiful. We spent Christmas and new year and the food was absolutely amazing for these special occasions. The ocean view room has a wonderful view and is very clean and linen and towels changed daily. This hotel is perfect for families. There is a supermarket and food court right across the road and a pharmacy The general manager Suresh is always on hand to assist with any problems If you want a great base and enjoy hotel life this is the best on south coast

  Chilled, relaxing comfy beds

  We stayed here from New Year’s Day - 7th Jan. It’s not a hotel I would have picked but it was included in a cruise stay that we booked. We enjoyed it, Room - we were at the front which could have potentially have been noisy but there was a double screen so it was pretty quiet at night even with us being on the road side. The room was cleaned every day, and the bed was huge and very comfy. The bathroom was decent, with nice toiletries and powerful shower. We could exchange pool/beach towels every day which we did. Hotel - it’s a really nice big very clean with a lovely pool, and right on the edge of the most beautiful beach. There is a beachfront bar but we tended to go to the vendors at the side (chicken George does amazing lunch!) We had one meal at the hotel which was a buffet, it was pleasant but very expensive for what it was. We were room only. Staff - reception staff are lovely I needed a dr on one of the days and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Also the young guy with the short plaits he was ever so friendly and helpful and the tall guy who helps with the bags etc really nice people. We didn’t spend so much time inside the hotel, but I would definitely stay there again and will probably book again for next year. Thanks for a lovely stay

  Stay Away From The Accra Beach Hotel

  Our stay was January 1-3, 2026 and January 10-12, 2026, with a cruise in between. My brother-in-law. stayed at this property about 8-10 years ago. and he made the reservation for him and my wife and me. He said the property and location were ideal. He unfortunately required surgery and was unable to go. The property from the outside is very attractive and the location is ideal. However, after the above the experience is horrible. We arrived from the airport, and we realized that in all probability that our room would not be ready. As I sat in the lobby, I casually noticed a significant number of guests were entering from off property carrying brown bags. As it turns out, they were shopping for food and other amenities from off property. When our room (101) was available and we went to it, the first thing that we noticed was that the room was freezing. The A/C was set on 23C (73F). When it was raised to 24C (77F), the A/C completely shut off, no in between. I noticed that there was no channel changer for the TV and called the front desk. I stopped at the front desk and reminded them about the lack of a changer. One never appeared. My wife and I went to the pool and beach for the afternoon. Being hungry from our trip, we order a hamburger and fries from the restaurant. We were told it would be brought to use next to the pool. Approximately 2 hours later, we were served the burger only after I went back 3 times. Afterwards, we returned to our room to shower. Initially, the shower did not work, and we had to call the front desk. We went to have a drink, and when, we came back, it worked. NO HOT WATER. The water issue was never resolved, and I overheard numerous quests complaining about it I spoke to the front desk. The next morning, we went to the breakfast buffet. The meal was suitable, but I stated that for a hotel at or close to capacity, it was interesting that there were only 4 tables occupied. I received the bill, and for 2 people, the bill was $149 (Barbadian dollars) or approximately $75 USD. I went back and looked at the evening menu and determined that we would eat elsewhere. Directly across the street, you can eat breakfast for two for $20-25 USD. There was a huge crack at the bottom of the door that we placed a towel across to keep out gnats and mosquitos. Plus, when you stepped back and looked from afar, there was a vertical crack in the door. My wife told the front desk that when we came back in a week that we did not want the same room, and she hoped that they had their issues resolved. We returned after a week and were assigned room 108. Again, the room was not ready which was to be expected. I must make a commendation here as my passport slipped out of my pocket in the taxi on the way from the airport. The front desk clerk, Rachael, went above board to assist me. She contacted the port taxi dispatcher, and within a couple hours, it was returned. I was panicked; she was calm and helpful. Later in the day when we got to our room, I started checking. The TV did not work. I immediately walk back downstairs. When we returned from dinner, it had been replaced by a new 55" TV. It worked. I checked the shower while this would turn on, there was NO HOT WATER. Our room's A/C was set on 16C (61F) when we entered. It had to be close to 27C (80F). I went to the front desk and complained. When we returned from dinner, the solution was to set it on 19C (66F), but it was still 24-27C (75-80F). We turned the ceiling fan on high and closed the drapes to keep the temperature bearable. There was no resolution to these issues and no reason was given. No offer of a discount or any other accommodation was offered. I heard Germans, Brits, Romanians, and Americans all at the front desk raising cain to no avail with no excuse offered. As a matter of fact, in the waiting area at the airport the conditions at this hotel were one of the main topics. We ate no meals at the hotel this time. There was a huge domestic dispute between a husband and wife or two SO's that erupted in the main lobby bar on Saturday. Hotel staff, both management and security were unable or ill equipped to properly deal with it, and it was allowed to drag on to the determent of other guests. This is a beautiful location with major amenities close by, but the owners have not obviously visited this hotel in awhile. It needs a major renovation. Staff for the most part appears to not care. I WOULD NOT STAY THERE.

  Good location, reasonable facilities, decor & maintenance needs addressing, poor staff attitude

  We stayed for a week at Accra Beach Hotel - myself and my two sons in one room. We chose it because it is on the beach and we love this beach and the location with access to many nearby bars/restaurants etc. The room was very tired and needs maintenance - decor v dated, paint work not good, bathroom extractor didn't work, main door lock was intermittent and we regularly had to get help getting into our room. Twice I had to ask for our room to be cleaned at the end of the day as it hadn't been touched. There were some good staff (on reception / beach bar - and I wish I could remember their names) but there were also some very grumpy and unhelpful staff (particularly the lobby bar) who were rude or just didn't care about customer service. I knew the hotel needed updating when we booked, so that wasn't so much of an issue, but bad staff attitude needs to be addressed - it is unacceptable for guests who all are paying good money to stay there. We didn't eat at the hotel as we preferred to eat at other local restaurants.

  Disappointing service

  We stayed for 3 nights, the hot water didn’t work for 2 of the 4 days (Jan 10th and 11th). Not even an apology from the receptionist on both days we complained, just ‘we have a problem with the boiler and we’re already trying to fix it’. I know problems happen but I don’t expect to be spoken to as if I didn’t pay lots of money to stay here and that freezing cold showers are normal. Wasn’t even offered a free drink and for us it soured the whole stay. Great location but way too pricey for the level of service.
