A great honeymoon. Visited: April 2001 Posted by dspizzico We had a great time. The staff was wonderful and very attentive to our every need. 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. 2 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? The hotel lived up to its brochure hype Visited: April 2001 Posted by keith My wife, four friends and I came here to escape a damp English winter. The location, staff, quality of the food and amenities helped us to do this. We took the breakfast plan and were delighted at the quantity and quality of the varied choices. We literally feasted and this set us up for the rest of the day. The hotel’s location near to Bridgetown and the St Lawrence Gap put many very good restaurants within either walking distance or a short taxi ride away. The staff was helpful in arranging car hire and reservations at various restaurants and suggesting places to go. One even helped locate the home of Sir Garfield Sobers and assured us that he always welcomes visitors at certain hours. (She should know he is her uncle.) We plan to visit again as soon as possible to experience this beautiful island, warm friendly people and a wonderful hotel. 4 users found this review helpful. 1 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? A relaxing resort Visited: April 2001 Posted by bestbyte This was our second stay at Accra Beach, the first being a year ago. Five members of our family had two adjoining rooms for 8 days and they even set up three twin beds in the one room for my 3 children (not cots like in some hotels). We chose Accra for the second time because of its charm, cleanliness, friendly staff, great pool, clean beachfront (note: all beaches in Barbados are public beaches), and great food. Prices here are comparable to other reasonably priced Barbados resorts. The location is great: close to Bridgetown for shopping and the harbor, St. Lawrence Gap for great restaurants, and there is a quaint shopping center across the street for convenience foods, clothes, photo-finishing and even some of the best Chinese food that we've ever had. The fish restaurant across the street must also be tried. The hotel's morning breakfast buffet is great (suggest the meal plan at least for breakfasts). Lunch can be ordered right from your poolside chair. Also order a mini-fridge for the room to keep drinks cool. (Get some local beer; it's very good.) Daytime temperatures in April were 30 C, and nighttime temperatures were around 27 C, but the constant light ocean breeze makes it comfortable. An Oceanview Room is highly recommended. Street-view rooms can sometimes be noisy since everyone honks their horn just to be friendly, but it will save you some money. Local bus to Bridgetown stops right in front of the hotel. Don't forget to go to the Manager's cocktail party every Monday Night. The rum punch is complimentary and lightens up the night very quickly. (There's no shortage of rum in the punch or Barbados!) The hotel's activities coordinator is also very helpful. Accra provides a good mix of an all-inclusive type resort without having to feel restricted to the hotel. This allowed us to take in the sights around the island and try different restaurants if we wanted. We're planning to go back to Accra again next year. 3 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? They have excellent facillities for weddings. Visited: January 2001 Posted by ae401 My wife and I got married here January 25th, 2002. The staff was great and gave us all a beautiful time. The wedding was on the beach at sunset. Our wedding meal was in the Coconut Restaurant to the sound of the surf on the beach. We highly reccomend the Accra for weddings. 1 users found this review helpful. 1 found this review unhelpful.

Lovely Hotel Visited: January 2000 Posted by grahamwyman The Accra beach hotel has been spoilt by using all the gardens and conference rooms for business meetings, functions or outside weddings or all three. I was here in September 1997 and returned in Jan 2000 and was very disappointed. The hotel is not for holiday makers. There is no holiday spirit at all. Also it is open for Club members to use all the facilities. What a shame, was lovely. We have just come home from Barbados and it's still happening at the Accra. The garden was full of Markeys for a private function and the holiday makers were not allowed on certain parts of the hotel grounds. 2 users found this review helpful. 1 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? The Accra was great!! Visited: March 1999 Posted by nick_west It had a good restaurant, but was also close to off-site restaurants. The hotel was always clean and tidy and the beach was at the doorstep. The poolside bar was a real bonus. 1 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Accra Beach - great atmosphere, great location! Visited: January 1999 Posted by ATraveler While in Barbados for 2 weeks, my family (group of 20) stayed at the Accra Beach resort (for my sister's wedding). A fun time was had by all. I liked the fact that Accra was very close to Bridgetown. The beach at the resort was terrific! This was our second time in Barbados, and yet we still found many new activities to participate in. The Accra resort was quite new and so the facilities were great! I would most definitely recommend it to others. 1 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Beautiful property on a pastel colored beach. Visited: December 1969 Posted by ATraveler The rooms are clean and well kept. It reminded me more of a business person's hotel rather than a beach hotel. In fact, there are many folks dressed up for business. For the vacationer, the freshness of the hotel is a treat. The huge pool has a bridge and a swim-up bar. The best thing about this hotel is it's location. It's on a postcard perfect beach while across the road is a small shopping complex complete with a casual restaurant, mini market and souvenir shop. Watch out for the mosquitoes! Since a large part of the hotel is open-air, the hungry insects simply wait for your door to open before they enter your room for a feast. One nit picky item: this is a beach resort but they don't supply lounge chairs for the beach. We had to rent them from local beach vendors. Other than that, I'd be back in a heartbeat! 2 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful?
