Lagoon Tours

Close to the sea yet protected from its might, Lagoon is a lovely place to relax and get some artistic photos of the scenery.

Situated in Elmina, this area of shallow water is worth a visit. But you'll find lots more to see and do in this area. Elmina Castle, University of Cape Coast, and Fort St. Jago aren't too far away from Lagoon.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (6 reviews)
Just spent a week with my family and loved it. The good points: the staff are fantastic, so helpful and friendly even when we turned up at 2am after our flight was delayed. The rooms are big and clean (and didn't see a single mosquito). Air con worked well. Netflix on the tv. Pool was clean. The best bit was being right on the beach. The boys loved playing football and splashing around. It's out of the city centre so very quiet and peaceful and it was great to get away from the insane traffic. It's about 8 miles/30min drive from West Hills Mall which has a big supermarket, pharmacy and restaurants which was good when travelling with children. Be aware: although it isn't far out of the city distance wise, because the traffic/roads are so bad it does take a long time to get to. If you were only in accra for a couple of days you might want somewhere a bit more central. Needs improvement: their back up generator wasn't working when we were there so every time there was a power cut (almost daily) there was no A/C. It wasn't a deal breaker but I've never stayed in a hotel in accra that didn't have a working back up generator. Would we stay there again: yes

THE PROPERTY WAS GOOD, however I had a terrible time trying to get to the airport which is very close by. It rained, (apparently this is a trigger) and the traffic was terrible. Could not move and inch, after two hours we flagged down a motor bike tied my suitcases to them and they took me to the airport with 18mins to spare. So aparently 3 hours is not enough time to get from the lennox to the airport !! BE WARNED.
