It was quiet, and had a beautiful view. The staff, especially the owner Joseph, were fantastic. Joseph lived in England for 30+ years so it was easy to speak English with him. He was cheerful and incredibly helpful suggesting sightseeing places, arranging taxis, explaining how to get to the next town etc. Joseph even accompanied me for a full day visiting the local fishing village and then taking a 3km canoe ride up the lagoon to another village. The room was great. it had a fan, air-con, louvred windows and screens, a fridge, TV, and hot water with a bath and shower. The food was good, but it takes a little time like all the restaurants I’ve experienced in Ghana. I think it is helpful to tell Linda what you want an hour or two in advance. The taxi into Cape Coast was 50 cidies, but you could walk 1 km and take a shared taxi for 5 c. I found it fairly easy to get around. I highly recommend walking down the beach to the east and first watch 60-70 people building fish boats about 200 m from the hotel. Then go 1km further to the fishing village and watch most of villagers pulling in nets from 800 m out. They’ll be singing together as they haul the net in. Then if you want hire someone 50 meters behind the village you can take a canoe for 40 c and travel up the lagoon for 3km and be escorted to another village and back. I had a pretty amazing time here…
