Labadi Beach Hotel‖Accra, Ghana

I have been in Accra, Ghana 🇬🇭 for several months, and this is my first time visiting Labadi Beach Hotel. The food prices are reasonable, and the taste is acceptable. The three dishes in the picture, along with drinks 🥤 and ice cream 🍦, cost around 600 cedis . The hotel has a fenced private beach that is relatively clean. The public beach outside is okay, but the surrounding area is a bit chaotic with various hotels, restaurants , food stalls, souvenir vendors, and horse-riding services. There is a group of local kids playing football ⚽, which adds a lively atmosphere. However, there are sewage pipes from nearby residential areas directly discharging into the sea, making it unsuitable for swimming. There are three swimming pools, including a children's area and a deep-water area. 👱‍♂️ Adults pay 150 cedis , and 👦 children pay 100 cedis (this also includes access to the private beach). Almost all high-end hotels in Ghana 🇬🇭 charge non-resident guests a fee to use the swimming pool, which is different from Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮, where most high-end hotels allow free use of the pool as long as you dine there. The hotel also offers fishing 🎣 for $15 per session, but you need to bring your own fishing rod, and you must release the fish after catching them. I didn't go swimming; I was reading Trevor Noah's 'Born A Crime' the whole time. He writes about his difficult and impoverished past in a brilliant and humorous way. His insights on crime are similar to what I read in NHK's 'Women in Poverty.' Highly recommended!
