An oasis of calm
Elmina Bay was excellent- the rooms and amenities were very clean. The food was extremely fresh and good. The staff were friendly with only a couple of exceptions- nothing was too much for our comfort. The owner was helpful and obliging- the pool was cleaned every day and was big. There was a steady trickle of guests but the atmosphere was serene and peaceful- good for us. Some aspects were a little tired ( Sun loungers/ relaxing areas) but the towels were large and thick. We would stay again if we were in the area.

My stay was quite brief however, this resort was perfect for a getaway. The room was spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. The grounds were well lit and the entire landscape was amazing. The ocean view was awesome. The service was great, staff were very polite, helpful, and extremely professional. Truly an enjoyable stay and will love to return for a longer stay.

The Hotel's location is excellent. The views from the hotel room is absolutely beautiful. The sea breeze comes directly towards the rooms and that is really great. The food at the hotel restaurant is perfect ( very well cooked and varied local cuisine). Really a fantastic place to spend the weekend!

Potential for improvement
I would like to appreciate the owner of the place for the big effort he is doing to keep the property in good shape and functional. The environment is amazing because of the location in front of the sea. The swimming-pull is big and clean but one side was empty. The rooms are big and spacious with good ac and a lot of sockets to connect many devices, there is a balcony with perfect sea view but is necessary some repairs. The service is the problem here, I realized that they are doing their best but in terms of tourism that is not enough, there is not life at the place, for sleeping and relaxing is ok but to enjoying I don’t think so after 6 pm everything is dark and absolute silent, no music, no activities. The breakfast was good. Was not pizza or burger available.

It has been a very pleasant stay. Hotel + home = hometel. From beginning to end our needs have been taken care of. The hotel is spaciously laid out so you don't feel cramped or in anybody else's space. The rooms are clean and the menu has a good selection. The quiet season maybe a good time to do some maintenance on the wooden deck chairs. The owner is very knowledgeable and welcoming I would absolutely return.

Family of 4 strongly recommend Elmina Bay Resort
After long flight delays (Tamale-Accra-Takordi) we arrived to the airport late, however the shuttle service provided by the resort were waiting for us and drove us to the hotel (+2h), where we were warmly welcomed by Ben (the manager) and his staff. We were quickly taken to our rooms, where staff waited for pre-ordering late dinner, which we soon enjoyed at the restaurant all by ourselves with the sea breeze as background. The Resort was more than we expected; very large and clean rooms/beds, with the pool right outside our room. We had the pool area for our self, with good service of drinks at the poolside. There is a stone barrier right outside the Resort, such we had to walk about 150 meters along the shore to get to the beach, where we could swim, however strong currents and some trash in the water made us somewhat reluctantly in taking long swim/sunbathing at the sea. We spent most of our time relaxing at the pool. We took one trip to Cape Coast where we took the castle tour, shopped souvenirs and dinned. At dark we escaped the overly close sales people by jumping into a taxi (after first negotiating the price) and went back to our Resort. The roads coming into the resort is really in poor shape; hopefully the roads will get fixed one day; at which time we think this resort will be much more utilized; now it seems to be a hidden and remote jewel. We are a family of 4 from Sweden, visited on Dec 21-24, 2019; and we strongly recommend the Elmina Bay Resort

Beautiful, Comfortable, and Peaceful
Elmina Bay is a beautiful resort that is far from the business of Elmina and other towns. It’s very peaceful and relaxing just to be there and it feels very safe. The service is good, with the restaurant right on the ocean with open air walls. One thing to note is that although the resort is directly on the ocean, there is a large rock barrier that protects it from the ocean, which is nice to walk on and the waves crash against it. To swim in the ocean is just a 200 yard walk though. I also went for a run towards the beach and kept going for a few miles - it is beautiful! There are local fishing villages not far away and a few lakes with wildlife. Overall I would definitely recommend Elmina Bay to anyone who wants to be near Elmina or Cape Coast (8 minute and 20 minute drive respectively), but wants a peaceful sanctuary to come home to and relax in.

Great resort right on the beach!
I had a fantastic 2-day stay at Elmna Bay Resort, and hope to go back again! The rooms were large, and the air-conditioning with a ceiling fan made the room temperature very comfortable. The room's balcony overlooked the sea, as well as the pool. The restaurant has a good selection of food, much more than is on their website, with lots of fresh seafood. They ask you to pre-order and let them know what time you want to eat, Top tip- eat early at 6 pm and you can enjoy your dinner to the fabulous sunset. The staff and the owner were very helpful and friendly. From the hotel, you can also walk a bit past the seawall to the beach and enjoy some wave watching.

So so with high prices
Unfortunately, due to the lack of real high end options in the area, hotels in this region will usually charge top tier prices for less than average services. The room was clean, but the towels had a faint smell of mold and toilets smelled bad (as if they were not properly disinfected). Breakfast was very bad both in quality and in variety.

Great place to be at. Out of town but it’s the place to be if you want to stay of the grid.
