Libassa Ecolodge

Excellent resort close to Monrovia and RIA, beautiful beach for long walks, and large selection of pools, ideal for children. Excellent food, efficient staff and service-oriented managers. Interesting animal sanctuary where you can learn and help a lot.

On our recent family group trip to Liberia we went to the Libassa Ecolodge for a day trip. It was an enjoyable trip for the kids (5 kids ages 6-12) and the adults. We got there around noon and we had the place mostly to ourselves until more people started showing up around 2-3pm. There were lots of pools and a lazy river that the kids enjoyed. There was lots of seating on the deck areas of the property plus some down on the beach. There are two restaurant/bar areas. We ate there and the food and drinks were very good but the service was a little slow. Just be aware that they don't have towels there so you have to bring your own. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend.

Disappointing Experience – False Advertising, Poor Management, and Overpriced Accommodations We had high expectations for Libassa Ecolodge, but our experience was marred by deceptive advertising, poor management, and subpar accommodations. We made a reservation for their New Year’s dinner based on their flyer, which clearly advertised $240 per couple, including a room. However, upon arrival, we were informed that rooms with AC were $390. Despite the steep and unexpected price discrepancy, we were still willing to pay, but we asked to speak with management for clarification. Shockingly, the manager refused to address our concerns and instead asked us to pay or leave. The local Liberian staff seemed far more professional and empathetic than the Lebanese and French management team, who displayed an unacceptable level of arrogance and disregard for customer concerns. To make matters worse, the so-called ‘upgraded’ room they were charging $390 for looked outdated and wouldn’t pass for a 2.5-star motel. It’s baffling how such substandard accommodations could be priced so outrageously. In the end, we were happy to walk away, unwilling to spend our hard-earned money at an establishment that seems to thrive on exploitation, false advertising, and dismissive customer service. While Libassa Ecolodge may have a beautiful setting, its poor management, lack of transparency, and substandard facilities overshadow any potential positives. We cannot recommend this place in good faith.

Manager (forgot his name) was very unprofessional. Had a work meeting and needed the WiFi code that blew away in the wind and refused to print a new one. Not something to yell at a customer and be upset about. Liberians need to do better in the customer service space

Beautiful natural environment with lovely pools, bamboo, thatch, and wood. Reception staff were friendly and accommodating. Dining speed/efficiency and actual options vs. menu were disappointed. Need better kitchen staff/chef and better trained wait staff more in line with a lodge of this caliber and cost.

I decided to book the Mangrove Lodge with its marverlous view over the pond, watching birds and fish.... Staff are awesome friendly and big compliments to Tobias and William..... excellent dinner and breakfast. A local tour on the stunning Lagoon with a kayak provided by the Hotel made my stay even more memorable. I definitely will repeat that great experience in the future. I had no Mosquitos in the room, because three fans and mosquito net served its purpose. What I got for the price, was definitely worth it.
