This hotel is fabulous. The reception staff & bell clerk are so helpful and happy to give directions to places and the best way to travel there. The bars are well stocked and of course there’s happy hour at the beach bar. The rooms are clean and the cleaners come in daily and change towels make up bed and replenish anything that’s been used. We stayed a week and got sun loungers & umbrella every day whatever time we went to the beach we didn’t witness anyone leaving towels on them. I would certainly return without hesitation. Read less

So many negative reviews…. Are you sure these were even at the hotel? We had a fantastic time, a two week stay. If you read the negatives, just remember it’s what you make it, and we absolutely loved this hotel. It’s not pretentious, and I’d recommend to anyone. The young men on the reception desk are just lovely.

Food on dining room was good. Reception staff were excellent, Josef in particular going above and beyond. However the cleaning staff left a little to be desired and need some organising! As do the dining room and bar staff. Overall I would only rate this as 3 star hotel. Read less

Just returned back from Barbados we stayed at the Accra beach resort after reading reviews and I wish I took them onboard. What a nightmare we got checked in and the room was not functional at all the bathroom toilet did not work despite maintenance coming then the shutter came off and the door to the balcony did not open or close. We had the sales and marketing manager come up who was just saying this is ok. Finally got moved to another room at midnight the door key did not work as the battery for the door had gone and had to wait for maintenance in the morning nightmare. Just a joke not a 4 star at all. In a positive most staff were friendly this hotel for not do justice to the great people of Barbados so friendly when you leave the hotel. DONT BOOK HERE ! Read less

I’ve been coming here on business several times. Justin one of the reception staff has been lovely. He’s professional calm efficient. Always pleasant and smiling. It’s always a pleasure to see him. Pretty much most of the staff around the hotel is very friendly. The hotel location is great. Beach is beautiful.
