Wonderful Experience!

Loved everything about Lemon Beach Resort! The staff (every single one I encountered) was amazing, so incredibly warm and friendly. The resort also referred us to our driver, Moro, who was wonderful. Moro made sure we had a good time and saw as much as possible. I'm very thankful to have met him.

An Oasis by the Sea

If you are visiting Elmina or Cape Coast, the Lemon Beach Resort is the absolute best place to stay. The resort is extremely well run and the attention to detail rivals some high end resorts I have visited. I highly recommend this gem of a resort!

Ocean access is restricted by rock barrier wall. Nice bathroom but recommend bringing non slip bath mat. Floors are slippery. Great stay in a historic area.

Best hotel experience in Ghana

Nr 1 experience in Ghana! We booked two nights at Lemon Beach resort and understood that we needed to extend the stay! The warm welcoming and skilled staff, the spotless clean rooms, the excellent food and the clean and calm Africa shaped pool area. Everything made it to one of the best hotels experience. The guidet bike tour in Elmina, the 1/2 day tour in Kalkum with th canopy walk made it unforgettable

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We loved our stay - 2 nights -- the room and bed were very comfortable - we LOVED sitting on the balcony outside our room, overlooking the rest of the resort and ocean. The property is beautiful. The staff was super friendly, esp the restaurant guys: Felix, Richmond, Solomon, Augustus, Michael, Randolf and all the kitchen staff. We did not know in advance that much of the beach in Ghana is not swimmable (ocean too rough) -- that made Lemon Beach's sharing of beach access with Coconut Grove, next door, much less of an issue! We happily walked over to stand in the surf. A/C and hot water worked well. Wait times for food at the restaurant were Ghana-long -- but one only needs to be prepared for this! The road getting to the resort is long and bumpy -- we had a driver which made this less of an issue -- but one must allow for the time when coming and going. Overall, this was a comfortable and delightful stay -- we would definitely visit again

Lemon Beach is the place to be!

Having never travelled to Ghana to know the quality of hotels there, I was very anxious when searching for places to stay. To my great relief and pleasure, I found Lemon Beach, which met my hopes and more. The property is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The food and drinks were delicious, and there was a wide variety to choose from. I appreciated the extra detail in that the ice is made from filtered water, so I was able to truly enjoy the cocktails. The service was wonderful across the board. You will have a pleasant experience whether you interact with Vincent, Richmond, David, Prince, Frederick, George, Steven, Atsu, or Mike. The owners, David and Kofi are delightful and very accommodating as well. Even prior to my stay, they ensured me that my satisfaction was of the utmost importance to them. Additionally, they have great partnerships with the local community and are supportive of it in noble ways that they don't publicize. I found myself wishing that I had more days left to just hang around the resort. You can stop your search here, Lemon Beach Resort is the place to be!

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The staff was polite, helpful and attentive. The grounds and units were clean and well maintained. The AC, water and electricity were 100% reliable. The restaurant served excellent food at drinks at reasonable prices (that is, there was no exorbitant resort markup; the prices were similar to what we pay at similar quality restaurants in the Accra area). Although the seawall prevented both direct surf views from our porch and easy access to the water, there was an open beach area only a 5 minute walk away where we could dip our toes and watch the waves. I recall that this was clear after a close review of their listing; anyway we knew about this issue ahead of time. (Note - the beaches along this part of the Ghana coast are generally not swimmable due to rip tides and hidden rocks).

The staff is extremely helpful, kind and courteous. They were always genuinely helpful! They arranged our ride from Accra to resort and back. George was our driver and became like one of the family. Very knowledgeable about the land, customs, politics and local events. We will return. One critical critique, but we have stayed in 3 hotels in 10 days and had the same issue. We experienced it with the Lemon the last day of housekeeping, no facial or hand towels were provided. The Lemon only missed one day of this compared to the other hotels didn’t provide them even after requesting. Overall we give the Lemon Resort a resounding 10!
