It was great! Visited: May 2009 Posted by joleyne45 My stay at Accra Beach Hotel was superb. The staff was extremely professional and friendly; the rooms were spacious and safe; and the area was located next to a lot of stores and so forth. 2 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? This was a lovely hotel. Visited: November 2008 Posted by karenmcd My husband and I stayed here last month. The hotel was beautiful. It was clean, and in a nice part of Barbados. The beach was to die for, and the pools on the property were tropical and really great. Also, we were upgraded to a two-story suite (without request) overlooking gardens, pool and the beach. The staff - without exception - was helpful, friendly, and not looking for tips. The room maintenance was exceptional - done up every day. The restaurants were just ordinary, and very expensive we thought. But there were great cafes right across the street, and the management had no problem with guests even bringing outside food in for lunches on beach or by pool. They had the greatest rum punches I have ever had at the bar, and the manager's party was rocking. It was a little quiet at night - just karaoke a few times, but that was fine with us. We would absolutely recommend this hotel. It was a great value. 10 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? It was horrible. Visited: October 2008 Posted by cantraveller08 I was robbed here, and I suspect by the hotel staff. They seemed dishonest, and were unapologetic. Do not stay here if you value your possessions. 5 users found this review helpful. 2 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? I enjoyed my stay at Accra. Visited: August 2008 Posted by sassy66 I had a good time at the Accra. Everything was great. The people were friendly. The rooms were cleaned every day, and the hotel was clean. I would definitely stay here again, and would recommend this hotel. 8 users found this review helpful. 2 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Accra Beach was a nice place to stay! Visited: January 2007 Posted by abusinesstraveler I was at the Accra overnight on business, and will return again. The accommodations were nice for the price in comparison to other hotels in Christ Church. I had a view of the shops across the street. An ocean view would be perfect at the right price for my next visit. 24 users found this review helpful. 4 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? This is a very nice hotel in a good area. Visited: December 2006 Posted by bonny It was our first trip to Barbados. We found that Accra Beach Hotel was located close enough to both St.Lawrence Gap and Bridgetown. We are glad that we did not go on the meal plan, because there were three small, but very nice cafes across the street. In fact, it was much cheaper to have meal outsde of the hotel. However, we would recommend to have breakfast in Accra. The only low point that we would like to mention was that there were a few drug sellers on the beach. They were very annoying. The beach was nice, though. We would like to visit Accra next summer. 37 users found this review helpful. 2 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? This is an excellent choice of hotel. Visited: October 2006 Posted by johnmaxwell99 October 2006, I visited the Accra Beach Hotel Barbados. I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff was friendly and helpful; everything was clean and tidy; and room service changed sheets and towels every day. Also, there was a lovely beach. Construction of a new wing was not too much of a problem, and didn't hinder the holiday. It should be finished February 2007 according to the locals, and there was no heavy construction taking place as they were only finishing off. If I visit again (which is likely), I will definitely choose a pool or ocean view. The inland view did spoil the stay (in my opinion), although we didn't spend much time in the room. It just would have been nice to look over the sea after getting ready to go out! 28 users found this review helpful. 3 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? They hadxcellent rooms, great food, and an incredible beach. Visited: October 2005 Posted by broomhil25 We had a fabulous time here. The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly, and the rooms were clean. Also, the food was great - especially the Polynesian restaurant. In addition, the beach was perfect and was not too busy. 10 users found this review helpful. 3 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? A big portion of the hotel was still under construction! Visited: September 2005 Posted by wtagudjr This was a good beach location, but the hotel employees seemed to be too impersonal! 5 users found this review helpful. 7 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Need to rest and relax in comfort? This is the place! Visited: June 2005 Posted by romage919 My husband and I stayed here for vacation, and it was great. The staff at the hotel was very accommodating to all our needs. The room was great! There was AC, a Jacuzzi on the balcony, and a T.V. with cable. Ask for the Honey Package (you do not have to be a newlywed to get it either)! You pay a little more, but you get a room upgrade, complimentary dinner and breakfast (with champagne and a gift basket), and a full-day excursion. Ours was a catamaran cruise where we went snorkeling. The beach was gorgeous and quiet. The water was clear and beautiful, and the sand was white. There weren't any water activities available at their beach, so if you're interested in jet skiing or something, you have to make arrangements with their activities desk. They offered meal plans separate from the rate of the hotel room. There were three restaurants, all of which we enjoyed. The property also had a pool. My only gripe was that the shower was a little small. We came back refreshed, and are already making plans to return. 17 users found this review helpful. 1 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? What a week of bliss! Visited: March 2005 Posted by jeffzack We used this website to decide on the Accra, after weighing it against similarly priced places like Savannah, Bougainvillea, and Casurina. We were not disappointed! The hotel was on a wonderful beach, with plenty of space, warm blue water, and waves that were big enough to have fun in, but not big enough to scare the timid away. The pool was very large, clean, and set to a good temperature. Though we wanted to see the island a bit, we would have been happy to spend our whole week at the pool or beach! We were on a honeymoon, and got the Seventh Heaven package. I would recommend it even if you're not on a honeymoon! For only $135, we got upgraded to an ocean view suite (value: $100+ per night), a free dinner (value: $75 or so), a champagne breakfast (value $50, and included, cereal, pastries, eggs, pancakes, hot chocolate - basically anything we wanted). And, it included, the highlight of our trip, a boat cruise on the Tiami (value: $140). So just the boat cruise alone would cause you to break even. It was definitely worth it. The room was great, if a little small for a suite. It had a king-sized bed, and a fridge (we had to ask for it). The patio had a Jacuzzi on it and a sweet view of the ocean, pool, beach, etc. We often ate our meals out on the patio. I read some reviews mentioning problems with beach vendors. I never saw one. As for recreation, we loved the Tiami, and also did some other touring and scuba diving. Jennifer will hook you up. We went to some good restaurants - the Cliff was very pretty, but insanely expensive. Instead, I'd go to Carambola, which was next door. It was just as pretty, the food was better, and at half the price. There were some minor complaints, like the slowness of the pool bar staff, and the lack of an explanation when there was no shower water for three days (after repeated inquiries, we found out a local water main burst -somehow the gym had water, so we showered there). All in all, we had a great trip, though. 15 users found this review helpful. 2 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? It was wonderful! Visited: January 2005 Posted by bluepiggy02 My sister and I went to the Accra Beach Hotel & Resort, and it was great! We are only 13 and 16, but everything was so effecient and we didn't need to even leave the resort. I would definitely recommend this place if you want a fun place to hang out and chill. There were people of all ages and there was never a time when we got bored. 5 users found this review helpful. 2 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful?

Visited: July 2003 Posted by dimorrow We spent the first week of our honeymoon in paradise at the Accra Beach Hotel. The location was excellent, the rooms were excellent, the staff was, yes you guessed it, excellent! The hotel was very clean and the food was fantastic. We didn't want to leave and if we are lucky enough to go back to Barbados, it would be the only place we would consider staying! 7 users found this review helpful. 1 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Accra Beach did not disappoint. Visited: January 2003 Posted by melp This was our first stay at the Accra Beach Hotel and we hope to return someday. The beach, (where we were married during our stay) was beautiful and the small waves made it fun. My only criticism would be that closer to the hotel grounds, the sand was somewhat littered with cigarette butts. The hotel itself was great. We had a poolview room on the second floor and in the middle of the property, so there was still a great view of the ocean, and we could hear the waves at night, even through the balcony doors. The room was always spotless and the staff was always friendly and helpful. There were some oceanview rooms that were either being upgraded or built on the east end of the hotel and they looked like they would be amazing when completed. We didn't get a meal plan, but did have the barbeque buffet one night. While the food was pretty good, I wouldn't say that at BDS$60.00 per person it was worth it. Food, in general, in Barbados was expensive, though, and our Canadian dollar did not go very far. We liked that the hotel was in a good proximity to both the St. Lawrence Gap,(which we found to be kind of overrated), and Bridgetown, but it wasn't too close to either - which was good. There was a bus stop and taxi stand right beside the hotel so it was very easy to get around. If we are lucky enough to return to beautiful Barbados we would definitely stay here again. 7 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Accra Beach is a nice place with nice people. Visited: December 2002 Posted by phil_quirk This was a clean hotel, with very friendly staff (my kids loved it). They also offered a kids club from 11:00 am - 3:30 pm, and it was efficient. This gave my wife and me time to ourselves. If there was one criticism, it was that we went on a meal plan (half board, evening meal), and we found the menu repetitive. For this reason alone, we would not go back on the same meal plan. However, that does not mean that the food was not edible - it was very nice. But after 17 days, we went through the whole menu! We are working on going back there this year, but not on the same board basis - just room and breakfast. With 2 young children, that would give us the option to eat whereever. 7 users found this review helpful. 1 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? A sensual piece of heaven. Visited: March 2002 Posted by mksets My husband and I have four children and I have saved for two years to surprise him for his 50th birthday. I have never been to the islands before, so felt somewhat vulnerable not knowing exactly what to expect. When we arrived at the Accra, our extremely cordial bellman, Adrian, showed us up to the room and explained everything about our stay. He opened the shutters and it took my breath away. (An ocean-view room is a must! ) This was the best week of our lives. Yes, the scenery was breathtaking. But the employees of the Acrra were wonderful and that made the vacation amazing. We will definitely be back very soon. 3 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? What a fantastic hotel! Visited: February 2002 Posted by rm1376 The hotel was beautiful and the staff was fantastic. The hotel was close to everything and if you needed to pick up incidentals, there was a little grocery store across the street. I would recommend this place in a heart beat. 2 users found this review helpful. 1 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Beautiful beach!! Visited: February 2002 Posted by ATraveler We were recently at this beach-front hotel and really enjoyed ourselves. We really liked the convenience of the plaza across the street, offering a change from the hotel. It was situatated close to The Gap and we could walk, if necessary. The beach was beautiful and the hotel grounds were very well kept. The street noise was a little loud at times, but not unbearable. The staff and management were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It was not far from a number of restaurants and halfway between the airport and Bridgetown. 5 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful.

The rooms were very clean and well kept. We will definitely visit again. They made our stay a very pleasant one. 2 users found this review helpful. 1 found this review unhelpful.
