Coconut Grove Beach Resort

Ghana


This beach resort offers a variety of upmarket rooms as well as a pool, a tennis court, a nine-hole golf course and a questionable mini animal sanctuary. Rooms in the resort's extension – called 'The Village' – are more rustic but considerably cheaper, and you still get to enjoy all the fancy facilities. The resort is 3km west of Elmina.
