Great resort- terrible road!

The only problem with Charlestina,...is getting to it!. The road to the resort is terrible... and if i didn't know what a great place it is to stay, I would never go there. The food is very good, staff are attentive but not annoying, rooms are clean and comfortable, the grounds are pleasant and clean. Safe & secure!

This is one of the most beautiful resorts I have been to in Ghana.

DOWNSIDE: The dinner service was awful in every aspect of the word. Despite putting in our orders two and a half hours early, the dinner came out 4 hours later and was totally not edible. Food was cold, had no taste and all came out sporadically, some half hour later. Approached owner to state the hunger situation and he just said it takes time with no offer of sympathy for the children waiting. Cocktails were also very poor with no taste to them. UPSIDE: Breakfast was great with limits to how much you could enjoy. Pancakes were amazing and omelettes. No tasting faults with brekky at all. Check in staff was pleasant. Owner Charles also came to welcome us. Matthew who seemed to be everywhere doing multiple roles was amazing, he was polite, warm and very accommodating to our needs. Great site for watching and hearing the fishermen sing as they bring their loads of fish In. Amazingly a place of tranquility. Perfect if they sort their dinner time out.

It was as described. Very nice place

Quiet, clean and friendly environment with great customer service.

Nice and quiet place, a very relaxing atmosphere. Staff are nice and friendly.

The physical site was satisfactory, except for an inadequate supply of soap in the room. The restaurant staff was courteous. The owner/manager staff was curt and discourtegous. Management refused to speak with customer instead requiring customer to communicate via a staff representative. The owner/manager refused to make any accommodations for the customer's needs for an additional night due to customer's motor vehicle breakdown. After numerous & unsatisfactory communications with the owner/manager's intermediary, the customer decided to check out of Charlestina & to secure alternative accommodations. At that point, the owner/manager's intermediary informed customer to check out within 15 minutes or to be subject to a late fee. Note -during this entire discourse, Charlestina had no electrical service, air conditioning or hot water, i.e. conditions about which the customer had never complained and about which Charlestina never acknowledged, apologized, or offered any gratituity.

Their facility is nice and are spaciously. The food was expensive but not delicious.

It would have been nice to have used the pool and although the beach looked lovely, there was a bit of rubbish around. The owner was pleasant. Most staff were helpful.

Nice location

The access road is very poor.

Really nice quiet place to spend the weekend. Seafront is excellent. The sea i so clean and blue. Excellent swimming pool. Great local cuisine especially the Kontomire stew!! Will surely be back!

The property was amazing. Wish the drinks were better but the facility was great.

Very nice property, very helpful staff. Great spot for a beach vacation.

Will plan and go back

My stay was relaxing and worthwhile enjoyed surroundings. Really enjoyed my short stay Everything about the resort was welcoming.

I enjoyed watching the fisherman bring their boats onto the beach near the resort. It was nice having the opportunity to interact with locals from the community while being able to relax on the beach. While the drive in is a little bumpy and far from the main road, the resort itself was calm, clean, and beautiful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Excellent Stay

Had a very wonderful stay, rooms neat and bed was very comfortable. Staff very friendly, environment neat. Beachfront is very serene and added attraction is the fishermen. Only downside is if you dont have your own mode of transportation, moving around can be very expensive.

Property Exceeded Expectations. Very Serene Atmosphere

Management accommodating and friendly.

Overall good

Nice beach resort

Very nice place enjoyed my stay on the card to go back again

Beautiful property,but not maintained well.Poor service Staff needs additional training communicating with guests.

Service is so slow.

Great beach stay

The beach villas at Charlestina are clean and the bathrooms are a good size. There is a longterm project to put a pool in which will be fantastic when it is done, but it looks like it is still quite some time away.

I have no complaints about the property it was so peaceful and quiet. I stayed over night in Cape Coast after touring the slave castles. Due to the roads not being in great condition I wouldn't recommend riding on them at night. I'm so glad I decided to go with Charlestina beach resort. The service was excellent, the food was magnificent and my room was nice and clean. The bed was comfortable and the room had A/C. It's a little off the beaten path but the can drivers know how to get there. It's not in walking distance to anything, this place forces you to relax and enjoy yourself.

Great place to stay

We got in late but they were very accommodating. The shower is a surprise, as the whole bathroom will get wet. But they were great to help us clean up the excess water. All and all, I would go back. It's a very beautiful and peaceful place. Very kind people.

Perfect Place for Chilled Time

Fabulous, friendly place with great staff - Tina, Dixon and Elizabeth. Charles was a super-friendly host, rooms are immaculate and spacious and we had a very relaxing time relaxing on the beach, bar and restaurant, and watching football in the evening......definitely recommended and we plan to return soon for longer.

The beach front was nice. The hotel was simple and slightly clean. The bathroom floors get flooded and there was a roach in our room.

Perfect stay

As always our stay was wonderful! The chalets are superb! The restaurant offers tasty food and very friendly service. The best is the landscaping and one of the finest beaches in Ghana!

The beach the room was nice and clean. Smelled like heavy bug spray though.

Was amazing everything perfect

Amazing location and great staff

This was a brilliant experience! Charlestina was the perfect location for a beach holiday. The staff were helpful and they have the best cleaning staff in Ghana! Victoria (cleaning staff) and Sofia were particular helpful. The food was amazing also!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean and quiet. The location of the hotel was perfect

My second time at this resort. I have stayed at several beach hotels in the area. Charlestina is by far the best value. Beautiful property and beachfront location. Very friendly employees.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The chalet was comfortable, very clean and we loved sitting out on the outside veranda. We were welcomed by the owners and staff. The gardens were lovingly looked after and the flowering plants beautiful. It is important for people to know that part of the road access to the property involves untarred road! But stick with it for Charlestina is at the end of the road and well worth the trek. We would definitely stay here again.

I thought the property was clean and quite relaxing. I missed the pool, but the will hopefully have it completed soon. The food was good but slow.

I like that it is a very nice, quite place to stay. The staff is very friendly and way helpful.

The Resort was Beautiful and quiet. The staff was marvelous.The room was nice and comfortable. The shower kept flooding the bathroom everytime we took a shower. No face towels provided for bath. No beach towels. Basically nothing to do on site. The Beach was wild and fishermen and boats. The food was good, but pricely and didn't have a lot of items. The distance from the sites was far and rides was costly.

The place was exactly as advertised. Very clean rooms. Food was tasty. Friendly staff. Grounds well manicured. Very serene setting ideal for a weekend getaway. Very spotty wifi but great if you want to detach yourself and relax.

This resort was incredible. We really enjoyed spending my birthday weekend there while visiting Ghana. The staff is superior. They attend to every detail. The rooms were well appointed with adequate furnishings. The bed was super comfortable. We had a garden view. As it turned out the ocean is hard to see from the the chalet so I was glad I didn't pay for the upgrade. The complimentary breakfast was good, not great. The pancakes were really crepes if you're from the US. They were excellent. We chose to have dinner both nights at the resort, although we could have eaten at a couple of nearby restaurants. We're glad we did because the food was EXCEPTIONAL! Everything we ordered was delicious. We wanted to make sure my birthday dinner was special so we ordered it in the morning to have it ready at 7:30pm. It was great because it lessened the wait time since everything is prepared fresh to order. So be prepared to wait, but its well worth it. The beach is amazing. There's an attendant at the beach to assist you with anything you need from towels to a cocktail. What I really loved about the resort was the price. Many things in Ghana are either high priced upscale or really low priced poor quality. There are not many mid priced high quality accommodations. I highly recommend this place. I hope they don't increase the price or they'll be missing a niche market that's underserved in Ghana Tourism. Thanks for making my birthday special!

Great anniversary

Very clean. Staff very nice and attentive. Owners awesome as we had the privilege of being greeted by the owner upon arrival. They surprised us with flowers in our room.

Spacious and friendly place to stay in a beautiful area of Ghana's gold coast. Facilities are excellent and the place is extremely clean. Dining area is lovely. Easy to get to via public transport or taxi. Would highly recommend staying here.

A little slice of paradise.

The place is immaculately clean. The proprietor and staff were warm, friendly and attentive. Everything in the room was brand new (TV, fridge, a/c unit) and the facilities were stellar. Food was great, but overpriced for the portion size. Overall I would stay here everytime I'm in Ghana! The beach was clean and the water serene. An absolutely lovely experience!

Super schöne Anlage mit tollen Bungalows und sehr netten Personal.

Fine place, in quiet surroundings

We had a nice stay, with fulfilled our demands. Staff was polite and friendly. Only small disappointment was the breakfast on the last day. The first two days, the selection was okay, unfortunately the last day the selection was not good.

Traumhaft am Palmenstrand gelegenes Resort

Es ist wunderschön hier Zum relaxen Baden und entspannen

En af de reneste strande man har set i Ghana God mad, man havde alt på menu kortet, sjældent på disse kanter, roligt og hyggeligt

Eine wunderschöne Anlage, sehr ruhig und ideal zum Entspannen und Relaxen. Service war hervorragend und das Personal sehr höflich und freundlich. Das Apartment war sehr schön eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Das Essen schmeckte fabelhaft, wurde immer frisch zubereitet und dafür nehme ich gerne eine längere Wartezeit in Kauf. Eine richtige Wohlfühloase, sehr zu empfehlen.

Schönes Hotel zum Relaxen und Baden Das Essen und der Service war super
