The place is good
This place is totally run down: very uncomfortable and old beds, no running water. And the own staff doesn’t always use the toilets so it smells… The staff is very unfriendly and only talks to you about the bills you have to pay urgently and the souvenirs they are selling. The food is very boring, already cold when they serve it and quite expensive for Ghanaian standards. Even a coffee takes an hour to be prepared. The tours they offer are incredibly expensive. You pay much less, if you ask for boat drivers in the nearby village. The beachfront is very beautiful but it is definitely not a nice chill-out place where you feel comfortable and welcomed. The staff is too pushy and “money-oriented”.
Beautiful place for a weekend getaway!
The environment is nice wit the clean river side, great place to sun bath but they dont have the best facilities ie. no running water.
If your looking for fun, its the right place to go.
Maranatha, a wasted opportunity! The one good thing here: the landscape! Really beautiful with the lagoon/river on the one side, ocean on the other. Well, If there wasnt heaps of waste lying everywhere. It reminds you more of a waste dump than a beach front. Upon arrival, toilets smeared with feces await you. The hut's beds also are dirty, but the "staff"(bunch of adolescents) doesnt seem to care, rather playing video games. Restaurant has a big menu of which approx. 95% is not available and takes hours to be prepared. All of that at big prices. No flowing water, no power wouldnt be a problem if it wasnt for 40cedi/pers/night. Hype is totally unjustified. Place is totallY run down. Never again!
Very nice place, excellent to have good rest. The river side was clean but the sea side was just disgusting.
It is a very nice place
Very beautiful location but the facilities are a bit basic, for example there is no running water. Most of the food on the menu wasn't available either when we were there. Other than that it's a great place.
Best place to visit free to swim
We went out there for the day from Accra and it's the perfect break from the city. You can swim in both the river and the ocean as it's an estuary. The atmosphere is chilled and they made some good talapia and jollof.
We stayed for a weekend and it was a truly pleasant experience. Good food (make sure you order in advanced), good lodging and nice people. Its a bonus knowing the money you spend there goes to help out the local school and community.
