The property is clean, we'll staffed. Looking at the videos online i thought it was a lot bigger. I found the shelf over the bed to be a bad idea. You cant sit back in the bed and you can hit your head if you dont remember its there. The towels were very hard! The gravel path leading to the pool and restaurant terrible idea. We are at a beach resort which means open shoes are worn so now you are trying to walk and keep rocks out of your shoes. Upgrade the door keys to cards. And offer more selection on the menu. The staff was wonderful I loved chatting with all of them everyday. The rooms are well maintained very clean. The road i know is being worked on but its a nightmare.

Amazing staff Black was our restaurant concierge he was a amazing but by the biggest stand out was George who is the property manager from heaven. I cannot say this enough they need to promote give immediate raises and do everything to keep that man. Well knowledged about Ghana and the area attractions very charismatic funny and charming and very kind to my wife and great with our baby. He attended to any issues that came up. Thank you to George you have made our stay on Ghana amazing. The food was solid a bit too Western for our taste we would love more Ghanian options but all still delicious and there was a rowdy group from somewhere in Europe there but all the other guest were Ghanian and very delightful. Amazing experience overall.

We had an amazing stay at The Lemon Beach Resort. It exceeded our expectations.

George and the reception staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. They safely held our luggage while we went on an early morning excursion before check-in, which saved us from lugging our bags.

The property is beautifully well-maintained with modern, clean, and comfortable rooms. Our ocean-view balcony was breathtaking. Waking up to that view each morning was unforgettable. The pool, heated by the sun, was perfect at any time of day.

The on-site restaurant had a great mix of local Ghanaian dishes and familiar options… all delicious.

Lemon Beach arranged a memorable cultural batik-making experience nearby with Madam Martha. She guided us step by step as we created our own design, then dyed, washed, and dried the fabric while we watched.

Special thanks to Dennis from Zion Tours who can arrange transportation, excursions, and customized experiences across Cape Coast, Accra, and beyond. He went above and beyond for our family and curated a meaningful, intimate experience for my 72-year-old mother-in-law on her first trip to Ghana. She’ll never forget it. He even returned an item we left behind after we left for Accra, showing true care and professionalism.

Our only regret is not connecting with Dennis sooner. It would have saved us time and effort researching and coordinating on our own. But as they say, you don’t know what you don’t know.

Overall, incredible stay. Highly recommend!

Lemon Beach Resort was such a beautiful, quaint place with a great helpful professional staff. I went with a group and they were able to not only accommodate about 12 of us but there were other guests present as well. Even with all of us including the guests present for four days, everyone was cohesive and resumed the quiet peaceful aura that was present.

It is a hidden gem amongst the residents and close to a school. The rooms are in a hut type setting but extremely comfortable. The grounds are beautiful with a sandy beach area where you can grab some great food, lounge either alone or with your friends, ride a horse or watch the waves. Enjoy!

Hello, tourists and locals to Ghana: this resort was a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of the big cities. It was clean. It was fun, relaxing, safe, and the staff was 100% willing to make you happy. The staff always goes out of their way to serve you. A big shout-out to Richard and Kofi-Black. The food was tasty and on point in terms of cooking - just overall excellent. I take my hat off to the chef. If you are looking for a vacation getaway while visiting cities in Ghana do take a booking at the Lemon Resort- Elmina, you will not regret it. Check out my pictures as well.

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The staff was polite, helpful and attentive. The grounds and units were clean and well maintained. The AC, water and electricity were 100% reliable. The restaurant served excellent food at drinks at reasonable prices (that is, there was no exorbitant resort markup; the prices were similar to what we pay at similar quality restaurants in the Accra area). Although the seawall prevented both direct surf views from our porch and easy access to the water, there was an open beach area only a 5 minute walk away where we could dip our toes and watch the waves. I recall that this was clear after a close review of their listing; anyway we knew about this issue ahead of time. (Note - the beaches along this part of the Ghana coast are generally not swimmable due to rip tides and hidden rocks).

Don’t miss Lemon Beach!

Lemon beach is a must do destination if you are going to cape coast. We had an amazing weekend. The staff are all wonderful— we had special and excellent service from Prince; we were grateful for George our driver and his team for arranging travel. While the beach right in front of lemon beach is not for swimming you can take a walk down the path and take a dip. We woke up to birds and ocean sounds and an incredible compound with a pool; gardens, great food and bar and Saturday evening cultural event with dancing and drumming from neighboring young people. We hope to return if we ever get back to Ghana. 🇬🇭

George was our driver and became like one of the family. Very knowledgeable about the land, customs, politics and local events.
We will return. One critical critique, but we have stayed in 3 hotels in 10 days and had the same issue. We experienced it with the Lemon the last day of housekeeping, no facial or hand towels were provided. The Lemon only missed one day of this compared to the other hotels didn’t provide them even after requesting. Overall we give the Lemon Resort a resounding 10!

My daughter, and I, were recently traveled abroad to Ghana from the USA, and we had a most wonderful experience at the Lemon Beach Resort in Elmina, Ghana.

Our room was located, not in one of the huts, but on the ground floor of the main building. It was air-conditioned, and it had a clean bathroom, a lot of closet space, and it had great Wi-Fi. What was cool was that our room had sliding doors that opened up onto a porch with sitting area, to eat, read, or just take in the air.

The restaurant, or dining area, was in walking distance of our room. The walk to the beach was pleasant and clean, and there was a beach bar or tiki bar near the oceanfront. Drinks were available in the dining area. The food was excellent. I had the Tilapia and Banku dish and I loved it.

If you want a nice stay in the Cape Coast area, near the Cape Coast Castle, and want an affordable and delightful resort to vacation at with a partner, with a group, or with your family, please do make reservations with the Lemon Beach Resort in Elmina, Cape Coast Ghana. And please ask for GEORGE.

The area is little away from main road and access road is not in good condition, but the resort is great and quiet!

Lemon Beach was the oasis my family needed after spending a few weeks in various parts of Ghana. I really appreciated the help we received from Isaac in reception and Prince in the restaurant. The property is gorgeous and caters to your every need. With the fan and the window open, we did not need air conditioning. The walk along the rocks to the beach is delightful and breathtaking. The swimming pool was cleaned daily and we enjoyed hearing the ocean waves while swimming. The restaurant staff works very hard and accommodated every request we made. We really enjoyed the food selection. There is security all along the property and many staff around to make you feel safe. There’s a lot of activities to keep you busy on the property.
