Coconut Grove Regency Hotel

This hotel was very welcoming, clean and well kept. Nice areas to relax at the end of the day; pool bar and swimming and indoor/outdoor dining.

My friend and I each had a single room and both were very very pleased. However, the staff is what made the stay really memorable. Everyone, including the two little doggies that hang out in the lobby, were totally accommodating, helped us find cars with drivers who were terriffic, the business center downloaded a wifi driver that I needed and their wifi access was top notch and much much more. I would stay there again without question.

I try to stay here on business trips to Ghana. Rooms are always clean and comfortable, and welcome warm. Positioned about half way between airport and the centre of Accra. If you prefer a smaller, informal and relaxed hotel over an impersonal international chain, this is the one for you.

The old concept of offering genuine “service with a smile” is a rare thing these days but is alive and well in the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel in Accra. From first contact, the standard of customer service was exceptional. A 2-hour flight delay late made us worry that the free hotel transport would be long gone but as we exited Accra’s brand spanking new Terminal 3, it was great to see our name on a board held by the Regency’s friendly and approachable driver. Check-in was smooth and professional but rather than being met with a forced grin common to many reception desks, Alpha, the duty manager, seemed genuinely glad to greet us and welcomed us with a much-appreciated chilled coconut. Things got better as, due to the hotel being very full, we were upgraded to a suite. If first impressions really do count, Alpha had scored a direct hit. Check out was equally painless. Our room was spotlessly clean and spacious with incredible solid, hand-carved wooden furniture featuring traditional African scenes. All the rooms are in excellent condition with air conditioning to add to the comfort and a strong 24-hour security team ensure safety. The hotel is very well located with easy access to the Accra’s vibrant night life. Our stay at The Regency was amazing. The friendly and helpful staff give a true warm Ghanaian feel to the place. It is a real gem, infinitely preferable to the many overpriced “Westernised” alternatives. Highly recommended.
