This four-story property offers two hotel wings with a range of rooms and suites finished in varying decor. Pacifika, for instance, with its dimmed Asian-inspired interior and fuchsia accent lighting feels more big city than Barbados…with sophisticated food to match. The traditional resort flavor may be a tad cheesy for some, but the impressive a la carte restaurants take a more sleek, contemporary tone. The poolside bar attracts a fun daytime vibe and provides nighttime entertainment, like karaoke. The central and open location of Accra is refreshing - guests will never feel “trapped,” but deck chairs do fill up early when it’s busy. Walkways wind around the pool and over the bridge to the laidback beach - guests are free to bring their own alcohol.

The bright aqua pool perfectly matches the seashore which makes for some stunning postcard views - especially from higher floors. Rooms unfold in two wings on either side of the lobby - enveloping the huge curvy pool, large octagonal pool bar, and lofty palm trees that line the gorgeous beachfront. Though not luxurious by any means, Accra has a warm and comfortable resort vibe - even if some areas are outdated. The facade is dressed in beige, but the resort side of the building screams '80s old school with its soft pink and blue-green trim exterior. Cruising along the island’s main coast road, it’s hard to miss Accra - the entrance is well-marked in front of the four-story building wrapped with arched balconies.
