Avis : Best Western Plus Accra Beach Hotel

We had a great time here! We liked the location, a couple miles from the downtown area, right on the beach, which unfortunately looks good only from a distance, due to the mounds of garbage there that wash down from the gutters during storms. On a bright note, from the comfort of the pool, the ocean looks great. A note about getting around in Accra: something that looks close on a map may be a long drive in reality, on account of the traffic and road conditions. The Nungua area is interesting for strolling around in, especially for someone like me who had never been to Africa before, but it's a good half-hour drive (at least) to Osu downtown, even though it's less than ten miles (15 km) Oh, the hotel! The service was genuinely friendly and accommodating, the food and bar was good (although they were low on African bitters), the room was comfortable, the breakfast buffet was huge (African and western food, including fresh locally-grown fruit, juice, and coffee every day), and to repeat, the pool area was lovely. What more could you ask for? It's not luxurious, but I found it very comfortable. Tip: since it's a hotel, the food and drink prices are high, by Ghanian standards. There's a bar and grill literally two doors down which also has friendly service and good food, for less.
