Accra Beach Hotel & Spa

Staff need better training.

Accessibility to the beach and shopping areas wonderful staff the front desk greeted us with such enthusiasm. The house keeping team was the best. I will be back next summer we give them a 10 out of 10.

Stayed there for 21 days. 3 of those days there was no hot water and 2 of those days no water for the shower due to a main break. This would’ve been fine if they had informed us they were shutting the water down and what time they were going to do it. Otherwise the stay was great which is why I gave 4 stars. The location of the hotel is perfect with dining, shopping and taxi access within steps of the front door.

Friendly staff, easily walkable area

It’s was dirty , fans were broken we could not use hot tub we were told it was for show and we’re not compensated at all !

Was a really nice hotel!

Bed was very comfortable. Room nice size and clean. Food was ok, not bad. Would have liked more caribbean options. Staff very accomodating.

Great staff, area is very convenient.

Second time staying at this hotel. Everything was great except for seaweed on the beach, which isn't the hotel's fault, just nature. Loved our stay and would stay again next time

Food options are limited, bed was ok, internet access was limited in the pool area and transportation was accessible. The refrigerator was old and rusty. The balcony had bird mess on it so that was unsanitary to sit on it.

Nice and calm hotel

It’s a nice hotel located right on the beach but needs reservations specially the pool, pool was dirty everyday, moldy grime around it and the floor needed cleaning. the sargassum on the beach could of been raked but left on the beach. Appearance matters.

Didn’t like that the room was near a generator it was very loud

I saw a review from 2023. The complaint was no water and a bit outdated. I laughted it off. Fast forward to 2025 and the same issue exits. Unbelievable!!!!! Wake up to prepare for checkout (1night stay) and no water. Staff has no explanation. Not a clue as to what to do. Unacceptable!!! For 200+ a night, improvement in their water system and updating the rooms is a must. Staff is amazing. Nothing negative about their hospitality. Hospitality outstanding!!!

Charming but Severely Outdated The Accra Beach Hotel has a charming location and friendly atmosphere, but unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing due to the outdated facilities and lack of attention to detail. While the air conditioning and Wi-Fi worked well (a blessing in the Barbados heat), many basic amenities fell short. My room had a Jacuzzi tub, which was a nice feature in theory but it didn’t work. There was no microwave in the room, and the ice machine was out of service for the duration of my stay. The hotel lacks a lifeguard at the pool, and there was no music or ambiance in the common areas, which made everything feel flat and underwhelming. Pool chairs were tattered and visibly dirty, which was hard to overlook. Lighting in the room was poor, making the space feel gloomy at times. Housekeeping was minimal beds were made, but no thorough cleaning seemed to take place. A refresh or modernization of both the rooms and the service approach would go a long way in making this property live up to its potential.

Overall, good. No significant complaints. Some aspects are a bit run down. Some staff seem disengaged (less than professional). It served my individual purpose.

Great service,friendly staff, pleasing esthetics, i do however think space cud use some upgrading.

The people at the reception desk, maid service, the people who worked in the restaurant were very friendly & accommodating! When my husband became ill (it happened outside of the hotel or restaurant), the restaurant manager did everything to help me to make him comfortable!

Easy walk to the beach and beach boardwalk.

Ideally located for both entertainment and beach.

The property was beautiful, clean and very dl

Great beach, great pool, great people, booked with expedia and it was the most expensive of all, found out when i got to the hotel. Paid $150 more than what the hotel price was.

Nice hotel

I recently stayed at the Accra Beach Hotel in Barbados, and while there were some positive aspects of the experience, there were also areas that need improvement. What I liked: • The location is excellent — convenient and right by the beach. • The pool and the beach area were both beautiful and relaxing. What needs improvement: • The rooms are in need of updates. I had to switch rooms after spending two nights without air conditioning, which was frustrating. • The TV in the room was far too small for the size of the space. • The nightly rates felt overpriced, especially considering the lack of entertainment and amenities. • Breakfast was disappointing; $30 USD per person for a very limited buffet selection did not feel like good value. • I also had an unpleasant encounter with a security guard when I brought outside food to enjoy by the pool. There were no signs indicating that outside food wasn’t allowed, yet I was rudely told it was “disrespectful” and asked to put it away. For the amount I paid — over $2,000 for two rooms — this felt unnecessarily harsh. Overall, while I enjoyed the pool, beach, and location, I left feeling that the experience did not justify the high price point. A bit more attention to customer service, amenities, and room maintenance would make a big difference.

I overall enjoyed my stay. They highlight was they staff that were very professional and attentive to guests needs. I would definitely stay there again.

The rooms are spacious and cleaned daily. The pool is huge and there's enough space for everyone. The women talk to you with a negative attitude, even the servers in the restaurant. The beach was wild and it's covered with seaweed. We couldn't get in the water because of it.

Beautiful location had an ocean view room which made it a wonderful stay. Food was good staff were either really good or quite surly and awkward so you choose carefully who you approach. But altogether would recommend location. Food all a bit price but large variety of good places to eat within s

The hotel is located in a very accessible area and the staff is friendly and accommodating

The staff at this hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful, which I really appreciated. One of them even came to my room to show me how to use the shower, since the handle looked like it had been pulled out of the wall and wasn’t intuitive at all. Unfortunately, the water never really got hot, which made showering uncomfortable. The hotel itself is definitely outdated. A lot of the wood on the doors and in the hallways was cracked and worn down, which made the place feel run-down. It could really use some repairs and upgrades. The beach is nearby, which is nice, but during my stay it was covered in seaweed and not well maintained. Overall, while the staff made the best out of a tough situation, the hotel itself needs major renovations to justify the price. Wouldn’t stay again unless improvements are made.

The hotel is in need of refurbishment, as the rooms feel quite outdated and would benefit from modernisation. The small pool was frequently unclean, and although I requested for it to be cleaned, it took over an hour before any action was taken. The gym is very limited, with old equipment—unfortunately, the treadmill was out of order throughout my entire two-week stay, which was disappointing given the already minimal facilities. While the cleaning staff were friendly and attentive, the service in the restaurant was disappointing, with staff displaying a poor attitude. Unfortunately, the front desk staff were not much more welcoming.

Our room was nice, it had all the basics. It was in a room that linked with our children’s room which was nice with a small living room in between, enough for two people to sit comfortably and watch TV. There was a coffee machine in the room which was nice. The grounds could do with a little updating, they are not super modern but fine for our purposes and for a family holiday for a week it was disappointing that the Jacuzzi was not working on the balcony, it would be nice if the hotel was able to update those small things that would make the stay 10 times better the pool and the beach fund were very convenient and very nice, the kids enjoyed it and I would definitely return to the hotel again. The staff were great and very friendly and even chopped our sugarcane after an E bike tour which was very nice of them! I would definitely visit again.

Nice

Very disappointing resort, a terrible let down from the online pics. Resort is old and unkept. Need a total remodel. Nothing in the room work, TV did not work the whole time we were there, no one came to fix it. Hall way carpet is old and dirty. Closet door off the rail and wobbly. Sliding door to balcony are from the 70s they were so old it was stuck on the rail and could not close. Pool has algae along the walls the entire week we were there. 2 out of the 5 days water was shut off, the second time it happened they gave us bottled water for bathing. I would never recommend this resort to anyone. Also on our last day and just for the convenience we decided to do the breakfast buffet $35 us pp I guve it a minus 0. Scramble eggs bake beans with pork plaintsin chips and pork bacon white or brown bread ir minu crossants THATS it and an omlette station. We do not eat pork so we asked for chicken or turkey. We got 2 microwaved chicken hot dogs, we also asken for some potatoes we got 2 mini harsh browns. There was some oatmeat some fruits and dry cereal.

I was coming to this hotel every year before COVID… I stopped during COVID and now I’m back. Some things have changed.. the pool bar doesn’t appear to ever be open, there was so much seaweed on the beach and wasn’t cleaned until the day before I was leaving. It was smelly and bugs were all over it. Gross. The rooms are very dated and can use a fresh upgrade. I do see some renovations going on so I’m excited about that. I love this hotel with all of it flaws. I love the pool, the proximity to the beach. It’s a your fingertips, I love the boardwalk and the restaurants along it. Tapas was really good. Across the street you have other food choices. The doubles are soooo good. Now for the staff, they are pleasant but I do feel the bartenders can be more welcoming and friendly. I have to shout out Nicole, the manager who was amazing. She addressed my issues professionally and compassionately. After being scammed by a company called air travel / reservation desk posing as Expedia because Expedia doesn’t have their phone number on the app, I just couldn’t take anymore disappointment. Nicole turned my trip around. Thank you. Shout out to Gregory (smiley) for his beautiful smile and welcoming attitude. He should be a bartender. He would be amazing.

Absolutely love the property will definitely go back again

Nice beach and pools but rooms are dated. Hotel is clean.

Whilst the hotel was under renovations, The beach was terrible with sea weed… total turn off

Unexpected charges. Staff distant in their interactions

Every thing was great

*****

Property is old and run down and not maintained at all. Very disappointed as we paid a lot for a 9 day stay.

Good

I've stayed at Accra Beach Hotel several times over the decades. Their service and attention to detail have slipped severely. No one seems to care about their job or the happiness of the guests. There were no smiles, no greetings made, nothing. The food was mediocre at best and slow. Our dessert didn't arrive even after they were reminded of it. No apologies given.

Despite some of the reviews this hotel is fine. High room for a family, shower good and always warm water. Excellent location, straight out onto a beautiful beach. Loads of places to eat locally. Would stay again.

The property is located in a great area but it needs to be updated. Our phone didnt work. The hair dyer didnt work. Only a few outlets in the room work. The toilet, ran. The hotel needs to be updated .There was a guy by the name of Damien who was so great and helpful. Very pleasant guy.

Loved our stay. Second time back. Room wasn’t ready at check in but staff were great and took care of it quickly. Love the beach access and the views are beautiful. Property is lovely. Rooms are dated but clean. Our vacation wasn’t to stay in the hotel room it was to enjoy everything around us. Will definitely return.

Good value for a good hotel ona beautiful beach in an area that is walkable to restaurants.

Housekeeping services were poor

Beautiful view, wonderful swimming, convenient, safe, the staff was very friendly and helpful, I will go back. It was peaceful and quiet .

I booked four rooms for my family at Accra Beach hotel for four nights. Two of those nights I did not have a working shower. I only realized this the following day (took a morning shower), and the response to this was quite slow, to say the least. It was only after I returned from errands on my third night that this was address by putting me in another room. Beyond the issue with the show, I found other things to be a bit outdated (soap dishes in all our room were rusty and moldy, for example). Rooms were also not cleaned consistently, and soap, lotion, etc. were not replenished. I was grateful for the gentleman who was attentive and understanding of my issue (especially concerning the shower). To note, no refund nor discount was offered. Aside from this I have many positive things to share about our family's time in Barbados. I would most definitely return to the island, but not to this hotel.

Property is beautiful, my only complaint will be lack of entertainment on property. No music by pool / bar. No evening entertainment options on the property.

This was my first time to Barbados. This resort is really enjoyable. Nice pool with direct access to the beach. I would stay here again. I would highly recommend.

Accessibility to other business in the area can be done on foot. ATM, coffee shop, grocer, cafe, restaurant etc...

Staff was very attentive

Horrible experience stay away from this hotel!! Never again I want to experience service like what I experienced at the Accra hotel. The front desk people take their sweet time and tell you one thing that they will do and don’t do it anyways. All they kept saying is shortly, check in was at 3pm I was checked in at almost 5 pm, ridiculous nothing was offered to us for this issue. Meanwhile I’m already paying for the hotel since 3 but not getting their services. Then the other day the water stopped working the toilet didn’t flush no water was coming from the sink or shower. Like seriously how am I supposed to get cleaned up or use the bathroom. And again they never offered anything for these major issues. Another thing is that during my entire stay not once did room service come and clean or refresh the room didn’t give toilet paper nothing. Then when we ran out of toilet paper it took them over 30 mins to bring a new roll. What kind of hotel service is this???!!!! At the beach there were no workers to put out the beach chairs or umbrella we had to drag the heavy chairs ourselves I felt like I was doing some labor work setting that up then rather being on vacation.

Really old rooms overpriced service pretty poor. Weird place

A perfect location and a wonderful beach !! Hotel is dated but if it’s only for a clean bed

The rooms are not electronically updated, no individual bed lamps, No USB charging ports in the rooms and only one electrical outlet in the room. No clocks, the bathroom exhaust fan had no motor just a cover plate.

Hotel was very disappointing, it was supposed to be a 4* hotel which is definitely not. The only restaurant open on Friday evening was serving buffet food for 50 usd per person, bar closed at around 10pm. On the day we checked out, we wanted to have a drink before our pick up, the waiter at the bar by the pool ignored the guests, but made sure his friends were entertained and had drinks. People from outside are regular visitors, and looks like they come to sit in the bar to chat with the waiters who are their friends Smell of weed by the pool and beach area. Jacuzzi didnt work, and 3 days before checking in they sent the email that we can cancell free of charge, no offer of compensation. Even though jacuzzi looked like they have not been working g for a while. Very disappointng stay, the hotel is way expensive for what we received.

Very friendly staff, courteous, helpful.

Enjoyed staying at the resort. The view is wonderful, staff very friendly.The only problem is one of the elevators to our room was out of order. will definitely stay here again!

Great beach! Staff is very pleasant and friendly. Location is right near Boardwalk which is an added value.

Accra is a great value, and the location and access to beaches, shopping and restaurants is top-notch. Pros: Clean rooms with very comfortable beds. We had an interior room facing the pool, so it was super quiet, and we never heard noise from other rooms or the street. However other guests who had rooms that faced the street said those were very noisy, so choose your room location wisely. The pool area is the biggest plus of this hotel, and the hotel provides beach towels, chairs on the beach, plus a swim-up bar. The hotel offers ease of access to the Boardwalk restaurants, Pebble Beach and Worthington Beach. Bus and ZR Van access to Carlisle Beach and St. Lawrence Bay also very accessible. Barbados is very safe, so we appreciated the public transportation options right outside the hotel entrance, and the many walkable restaurant and shopping options. I highly recommend Wine World too, if you are looking for better wine options than what the various area bars provide. Cons: The older rooms in the hotel need a refresh. Our room had closet doors that came off the tracks, and an unusable safe that kept erroring out even when we had the staff re-set it multiple times. Our front door didn’t lock easily - it required several pushes and re-tries to be sure that the lock engaged. This meant a few times we came back to the room and the door was essentially ajar. Good thing Barbados is safe! I would suggest booking a renovated room. Also, check-in takes WAY too long (2 hrs).

The women staff wasn't friendly at all.

In a word shabby. The outside area and the general public area are very nice. The floor we were on was disappointing. The carpet was peeling up in numerous places. The toilet had to be flushed at least 2 times for anything to go down. The water pressure for the shower made it impossible to take a shower. A number on our room door was missing. It just shows me that they don’t care too much about the rooms that the guest stay in The best part of staying there was the Pacifica Kitchen Restaurant. It was delicious. The bar by the beach serves excellent rum punch drinks.

Very nice staff but the food and drinks are to expensive one should not have to go off property to find food

For the cost .. property was outdated. My room wasnt ready until 6pm. I had to request towels and a blanket. The only thing they could do for me was offer free rum punch but I dont drink. On the morning of my last day the water was shut off. No one said anything. When i called the front desk they didnt know when it would be back on.

One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at. They could not get the TV to work in our room for 3 days. Toilet stopped working. Lock on door stopped working. Requested additional hangers several times and never received them. They were going to allow us to switch rooms but that room was worse than the one we already had. It was smaller and smelled of mildew. There was no water one morning. That meant no toilet, no shower, no brushing of teeth. They said bottled water would be available at the hotel restaurant. They provided me with one 12 ounce bottle of water. The halls were dark and dated. The rooms were sparse and also dated. Cleaning staff did a good job. Front desk did not.

food was ok but overpriced, little things here and there need attention. I ordered a king size bed bit got a little double.

Excellent service

Staff was super friendly.

Conveniently located close to restaurants and other amenities. Staff we friendly, the rooms could use some updating.

The hotel is dated and is in need of TLC. The faucet in the shower needs to be replaced but it worked. Elevator leading to our floor was out of service for our entire stay; however, we were able to use elevator on the other side to access our floor. The location was ideal. Hotel is located on a beautiful, white sand Rockley beach, with boardwalk nearby and a variety of restaurants across the street in Quayside Mall plus walking distance to Champers restaurant - a must go!

Had a great stay. Only complaint I have, is, that the room attendant did not change the towels on the floor in the bathroom, as she was called away to a meeting.

Great property on the beach and close to everything you need. Our room was very spacious. Rum punch great! Rooms a little tired but very comfortable

Some different nice eating restaurants with an easy walking distance. At the end of the boardwalk that walks along the ocean nice scenic walk.

Location was great

Location

Hotel stay was excellent, on the beach and with good views of the ocean. The property need some updating but the location makes up for that.

You get what you pay for... It’s old, run down, a low budget hotel. Don’t expect much. Luckily for us, we only stayed there one night until our condo was available. Had we booked it for the week, I would have been very disappointed and would have asked for a refund and booked somewhere else. Although I realize not everyone can afford a more luxurious hotel.

I love this hotel. I’ve been staying at Accra for 12 years and every time is amazing! I’ll be back next year.

We stayed just one day and night as we were heading to a cruise the following day. The rooms were very clean and tidy comfortable. The service the staff were exceptional. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Overall a very short stay but we enjoyed Accra very much.

Overall nice hotel, friendly staff, it's right on the beach. The room was ok, a little hot, but it did have a fan. I did find a small roach in bathroom. Other then that it was good.

Location was geat....close to eating places and lovely beaches and about 20min to the town

A poor start. The room allocated to us had several faults. I think we all expect hot water and functioning shower. No hot water from sink tap or shower. Shower door would not shut. A feature which convinced me to book this hotel, (jacuzzi on the balcony with sea view), was faulty. Sign said "do not use. Under maintenance". Following several conversations with the Reception team/Manager, we were allocated an alternative room the next day. This room was fine. Everything was in working order. This hotel has so much potential. Ideal beachfront location. It does appear to be a bit "tired" in certain areas. Some tiles around the pool area loose or broken. Nice swim up bar in the pool. This was rarely open and, when it was, it was hardly ever staffed! Such a shame. The outdoor showers near the beachfront / pool area need sorting out. Poor design with the flags on grassy area causing mud. Get clean then muddy if not careful. Most staff are polite and friendly. I feel that with a bit of investment and better management of public areas this could be a great hotel.

The staff are not friendly or helpful at all, lighting in the rooms poor, rooms had a very old moldy scent to them , very much needed updating, beds are uncomfortable. Expected more from such a big hotel.

Well situated location on the beachfront

Hotel was old and run down for a 4 star hotel. Pictures of rooms online were deceiving.

Check-in was slow, room was not ready until 2.5 hours passed checking in time. Bar service is a bit slow, I mainly used them used them to get ice and mixers. Overall, I would consider staying here again due to the location which is near the airport (20-25 minutes away), close to many shops and places to eat. The beach and umbrella/chair service was great. You are able to walk to huts offering food and drinks. The cleaning staff did a great job cleaning the room. Check-out group was much more efficient and friendly. Getting taxis to this location was easy.

Beautiful pool and beach

The property is beautiful but was remodeled many years ago and really needs to be done again. The beach is in desperate need of new lounge chairs and umbrellas and should have them all laid out for guests instead of pulling them out when someone arrives. This creates artificial scarcity with the chairs which causes guests to wake up early, put their towels on the chairs then leave until the afternoon. There were discarded cups and straws on the beach for days which it seems did not fall under anyone's responsibility to clean up. The water pressure in the hotel was very low and actually was turned off for 3 hours one afternoon for maintenance without notice. None of this was horrible enough for me to suggest avoiding this hotel, just be aware of what to expect.

The hotel needs refurbishing. The rooms are very dated and fixtures and fittings are coming off the walls, draws and wardrobe can’t close smoothly due to them being old and worn out. The staff aren’t the friendliest considering Barbados is a super friendly country. When you ask the staff something it’s like you are inconveniencing them. It’s not somewhere I would choose to stay again unfortunately It’s very overpriced for what it is

It was our first time staying at the Accra in Barbados. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The beach was beautiful. The hotel is a little dated, but nothing to be concerned with will definitely go again. The people and the island of Barbados is one of the best places to travel.

Love sparkly view of beach and property. Everything so accessible. Staff are friendly, wonderful and supportive. And place is spotless. Been to Accra several times and already planning a trip back. Highly recommend!

We’ve been vacationing at the Accra for several years now. It’s so wonderful to return year after year and be greeted warmly by the manager and staff. Area around the Accra is second to none! Beach is amazing! Can’t wait to return next year 💕😀🏝️

Safe in the room didn’t work. No microwave. Chair distribution on the beach needs to be changed.

Fantastic beach, restaurant slightly outdated, need to redesign outside beach bar

Great location, friendly staff, can’t wait to return

High quality building, nice property Nice beach and very nice pool Nice Buffet
