  Not a four star from our experience

  I chose the hotel for its location to stay for 1 night before a cruise. Whilst the staff, reception area, pool, beach look lovely our room was a huge disappointment. It had toiletries, fridge, kettle, coffee maker, safe, air con tv and iron but the room was tired. The shower did not work properly it was more of a trickle, the soap dish, taps and toilet roll holders were not clean. Wood work on the doors was cracking and shoddily finished. Beds were supplied with just one sheet no blanket which is not good when you do need the air con on but want more than a sheet. Worst of all was that the room was right above the extractor fans of the kitchen which woke me at 6am and were still on @ 10pm on arrival. This was on the corridor 104-416. I was disappointed & glad not to be staying the week - 4 star it is not. The food offering here appears to be a themed buffet each night in one restaurant (couldn’t find another open) so if you don’t like the cuisine you are stuck with a bar snack menu with a small choice and they had run out of burgers the night we were here. The position of the hotel is great, the staff are wonderful but I wouldn’t return I think it’s expensive for what it is.

  Accra beach and hotel, Barbados

  I found this experience once in a life honestly from the day the checked in to the minute we checked out I found this hotel unreal especially the staff as they were so welcoming and just overall amazing. The main bartenders were romell, Kodio and deashawn and they made the experience 10 times better making sure we had everything we needed at every opportunity and were in general a great time and laugh. At first I was hesitant to book this hotel due to the price and reviews but after getting there I realised the reviews weren’t justified as the rooms were clean staff were lovely. Although it was expensive the food especially was great loads of variety and the drinks just as good. And the main thing that helped with hotel was how good the pool was with the swim up bar and the fact the beach was 2 steps away. Thank you Accra Sonny murphy

  Lovely resort. Room was clean and service was great. Staff were so friendly especially Deashawn, kodeo and romell. They definitely made our visit and will be returning due to their kindness and welcome. Definitely recommend. Close to everywhere and supermarket at your doorstep.

  Disappointed but made the best of 9 days

  This was the 19th anniversary trip for my husband and I and the location was outstanding as it relates to outside of the property! On the other hand, as it relates to the hotel itself (other than its lovely appearance/breath-taking beachview) it was quite disappointing, dull atmosphere and lacked excitement- vibe wise. For example, the pool bar closed daily very early 4‐ish and oftentimes had no island music playing or anything that gave a vacation vibe like other places we've stayed i.e. BOUGAINVILLEA which was sold out and led to us having to book elsewere. The most excitement during majority of our 9 day stay was the side glimpses of the private events that were held at the venue area outside and some inside. There were a couple of live entertainers that did coverings near the beach bar but not the island party vibe we were hoping for. Furthermore, we found it quite inconvenient that the beach gate was locked at 7:30 pm and the chairs and umbrellas were taken up from everyone on the beach at 6 p m sharp. To have your day ended on VACATION at the beach so early was quite an inconvenience (and much different than our experience at Bougainvillea in July earlier this year were there was much more flexibility), and I noticed other guests complaining of the same. Also, I understand consideration of non-smokers and not allowing smoking around highly populated areas but to be completely limited to 1 tiny bench in front of the hotel ENTRANCE area (other than on the beach), with no rain cover was not fair for all paying customers that smoke- ($3800 total package cost). There is plenty of lawn-grass space completely away from the pool/bar areas that would allow for a roped off, segregated, designated smoking area with a few picnic tables and some covering (close to the beach wall or ledge): a very reasonable compromise to the majority... ALL STILL OUTSIDE. Finally, the room: it was quite dated and the bathroom was super small, with very low pressure water from the sink. We reported a toilet leak after noticing water accumulated on the floor and although housekeeping mopped it up, it never got fixed. When we first arrived and were getting dressed for the beach, the first thing I noticed was a very heavy dust/dirt forming on my bare feet. Clearly, the floor had not been swept or mopped in quite a while. There was also a heavy dust film on clothes shelves and tables and dressers. Some of the staff were warm and some were dry. We made the best of it but we are unlikely to stay here again unless the above accommodations change a bit or if it's a last resort and other places are booked.

  Accra Beach Hotel Barbados Review

  A dated hotel & ameneties, the hot water in the morning was luke warm at best for showering / washing. Toiletries not replenished on a daily basis, milk not replenished until after 5 days, coffee was supplied as ground coffee rather than instant coffee satchets ( which would have been our preference ). The evening entertainment wasn't as advertised. ( Taste of caribean didn't have live music ) Not all restaurants were open every day. The advertised swim up bar was only open from the 5th day of our holiday with the music hit & miss in most areas of the hotel, only seemed to be in reception area to create a good impression. During our 10 night stay we didn't see any attention to the swimming pools regarding checking chlorine levels or cleaning. One of the advertised waterfalls wasn't working the entire time we were ther & the one on the smaller pool worked intermittently. Their was no welcome pack in the room giving information of available activities around the hotel or excursions available that could be booked through the hotel. There was a night were local artists dispplayed their crafts & work for sale but we only found out by chance. When housekeeping was asked why bathroom towels hadn't been changed, they said 'we dont have enough to change everybodies today' Walls in hotel corridor poorly patched up where work had been done, room doors didn't fit properly meaning that everybody had to SLAM the doors to close them. The only positive point was that the hotel was in a great location for the beach, convenient location to visit other eateries close by. If you just need somewhere to get your head down and as a base for excursions / explorations then the hotel is OK. Food was good but rather overpriced if you wanted to add hot food option to breakfast selection. NOT a 4 star hotel as advertised, in my opinion, but more on par with a 2 star hotel.
