“beautiful beach resort, good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

During a trip to Western Region I stayed two nights right by the sea at this beach resort. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was well equipped, spacious and comfortable and there were various other useful facilities such as a large swimming pool, souvenir shops and good internet connections. Perhaps the only disappointment was the mediocre breakfast. Otherwise, this hotel is highly recommended, not least for the location which is on a beautiful palm fringed bay about 50km west of Takoradi.

“Great view...bad bedding experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

person found this review helpful

I slept here 2 nights on a business trip this week and was given a room on my second night of which the bedding contained lice!!! Unawares I slept and is now anti histamine tablets and cream. Moe than 60 bites all over my body. I am seriously upset and will be making an official complaint to this resort.

Room Tip: Sea front room numbers starting with one and two, take double room...really great

“Beautiful Hotel, Maintenance problems, Unhelpful management,”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Our stay at the Busua Beach Resort was unfortunate. We were looking to splurge for a weekend on this nice resort. We got to the hotel and immediately went to eat at their (expensive) onsite restaurant. When we got back to the room, it still wasn't cool so we tried calling the front desk. The phone didn't work. So we went up to the front desk. The reception sent maintenance. Maintenance told us we should switch rooms, and they took us to two different rooms, one much smaller, and the other one unmade with no chance of cleaning the room until the next day. The maintenance put some freon in the a/c at midnight which lasted through the next day. The next day, we went to reception and spoke to the manager who only took $15 off the room. The second night the same thing happened and she took $13 off the room. She gave us her card and ensured next time it would be better. Four trips to reception for this problem, and we don't believe there will be a next time. African Rainbow Resort also offers a/c and hot water for much cheaper. The Busua Inn is a delight and the food is amazing. When you pay as much as Busua Beach Resort charges, you expect to get what you pay for. Unfortunately, this is not the case here. Additionally, the poolside is filthy without bathroom facilities and fish bones from someone's meal all over.

“If you have any experience traveling in West Africa, it will meet your expectations”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

If you are used to traveling in West Africa, your basic expectations will be met, considering the Busua Beach Resort is run by a hotel chain. The rooms are basically clean, the immediate beach was pleasant, if rather poorly equipped with adequate sun beds, umbrella's and chairs. You had to beat the rush in the morning unless you wanted to sit in our towel for the rest of the day. The food was incredibly average and the service was like watching paint dry. The average lunch required two hours from seeking the attention of a server, to ordering, waiting for your food, then your bill, then your change etc. There are other great eating choices nearby including a small family run French Restaurant just down the beach. Last thing, I booked and paid for a suite online and received a double room when I arrived even though I could prove I had paid for suite. The hotel seemed very uninterested in contacting the booking agent to resolve the issue which left me short-changed. Overall, it was quite relaxing, sufficiently restful, but a generally average experience.

“Nice beach; bad food”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2011

Nice bungalows though simple rooms. A plastic bag of soft drinks was left in the room, which we had to put in the fridge. Lounge chairs were available on the beach but reclaimed to put away before I was ready to go in. The food was poor: breakfast buffet was crowded and just one kind of fruit in this tropical location. Dinner was just bland and uninspired. We had a package that included dinner but were keen to go elsewhere for lunch! There are better choices in this part of Ghana.
