Ankobrah Beach Resort
Ankobrah Beach Resort
Ankobrah Beach Resort is a beach resort in Axim, about 2 hours away from the Takoradi airport.
(Sidenote: They arrange pick ups from the Takoradi Airport for ¢300 one way, ¢600 in and out, and Accra for ¢1300 one way, ¢2600 both).

They’re open for day trips as well, not just overnight stays and they arrange tours to places like Little Ankobra, Fort Apollonia Museum & the Nzulezu Village (the village on the river). There are also workshops for guests interested in trying new things like archery and surfing.
They have massage packages, a playground of some sorts and a mini “library” which features a lot of German books - apparently the resort is German-owned. They have a decent selection of games (board and card games etc) which are also in German but are fairly easy to understand.
Its extremely peaceful and calm here - super quiet- and like most resorts in this side of town, built around a completely natural theme. When you’re not on the beachside you’re almost completely surrounded by trees and plants. I should add, it gets really dark at night.
The land is big, but there are only 20 chalets on-site.
I think that’s to make sure the peaceful/serene vibe is maintained - probably wouldn’t be if it was overcrowded.Â
Room prices are categorised under Off Season (Normal days) and Peak Season (Public/National/Global Holidays).

I got a Deluxe Room which was really nice. The theme was Ghanaian - so mostly stone, African print curtains, rafia lamps etc.
I didn’t get pictures of the other rooms because pretty much every room was occupied but they all have pretty much the same look.

The room was a little dark even during the day - there wasn’t enough artificial light and the windows didn’t let much light in either.
It was really clean and the bed was really comfortable.
The room came with a fridge (which unfortunately wasn’t working properly) and a desk.

Toiletries provided were very very limited, there was only a bar of locally-made soap and towels. It would be in your own interest to bring your own.
They have wifi & it worked just okay outside but it barely worked indoors.
My network was almost non-existent in the room too.The lights went out but that was handled pretty fast(Cant tell if they came back on or they have an alternative power source for such situations.

Breakfast is on the room, but for non-residents, its ¢45 per head. Simple yet filling, I loved that they got my egg right (not fried till it was rubber but not undercooked at all). Clear German influence - they had schnitzelssss!
The food is a little expensive but the portions are big! My noodles easily fed 2 people even though there was ONE prawn in my seafood noodles. Good taste too. Some things take a while to get ready so order as soon as you possible.

The beach (I personally didn’t see any, but apparently there are the occasional oil deposits on the beach. That, unfortunately is beyond the administration's control)
So these are the basics. Super brief but hopefully informative enough. It’s a good place if you’re looking for a quiet getaway in nature or by the beach.
