Rising Phoenix Magic Beach Resort

I was staying in this hotel 4 years ago and also recently in August. 4 years ago I had it better in mind as it seems to be now. The room we got was ok, the shared bathroom is somehow acceptable but not nice. My colleague was not feeling confortable at all, it was something about the vibe that she dislike. The price and lookation is very good. When we were there some people were working at the place, so hopefully they will improve soon. Even if that would go hand in hand with higher prices, it would be a good improvement for the accomondation possibilities in Accra.

Wide ranging very affordable vegetarian menu. Ate here more than once and each time everyone enjoyed their food. The falafel burger was one of my favourite meals from my 8 week trip in Ghana. We waited about 2 hours for food after ordering but have found this to be the case in most restaurants in Ghana. For me, it was worth the wait - great place to try jollof and local food but with a few other good options too. The staff are not very attentive but the setting is good overlooking the beach and the location is easy to get to. I ate here every time i had the option to when in Accra. Very enjoyable.

We went there to have lunch. When we came to the place it looked pretty empty. After ordering our food we only waited half an hour until we got it. The food itself was okay. The people over there don't really see the work. We needed to ask them to clean the tabels before we could sit. There was a mess and the guy justed cleand after we told him so. Also the guy didn't bring water to clean the hands after my friend told him he wants to eat with the hands. After asking for water he was busy with others people's order. In the end my friend needed to go himself to the bar to wash finally his hands. The view on the sea is nice but as the area is pretty dirty of all the trash in the sea and at the beach it is not as comfortable as it cold be with this view and location. Another disturbing fact were the smokers. As already mentioned in other reviews there are everywhere NO SMOKING signs. However, people still smoke next to you while eating your food which for me is very rude!!

Rising phoenix resort beach is a place which I recommend for dinner. The location is very nice and you will look down on the sea. The food is ok and the staff is very friendly and funny! The uber taxi app is available in the area too. Besides the restaurant I would definitely not recommend the hotel to stay. The rooms were dirty and the sheets looked old. I started complaining and I wanted to leave. The owner wasn't there and by phone he asked me to stay over for the night so he could talk with me the next morning. We got another room which was better, but there the toilet and shower were very dirty. There was old and dried piss in the toilet. It really smelled! The day after the owner and a lady came. The lady was very openly and she was happy with the feedback. She was very friendly and she apologized. I felt the owner itself only brought up excuses and told me everyone sees the place “through his own eyes” and that some other people loved it. He also told about the cheap price and that if you want to have a better place, you should pay more. We didn’t felt satisfied after this and we still wanted to leave. We found a very good place in Accra included breakfast and dinner for the same price. When we decided to leave the owner let me pay a part of the more costly room they arranged for us the night before. End of all the location is amazing. I would definitely come back there for the staff and the location. Rising Phoenix is a diamond in the rough. I hope that they will develop the ‘hotel’ and do something with the feedback they get because then the place will be amazing!

Location: I was drawn to the location of this hotel because it is situated between Jamestown Lighthouse and Osu Castle. Though it puts these sights within walking distance, the back roads that you need to take to get to the resort do not at all feel like they can be safely walked. I found this completely negated the convenient location. Rooms: The rooms are passable. If you do not have a ceiling fan, they will probably/maybe bring a fan to your room. You will need to ask for towels, soap, toilet paper, etc. or you will not receive. Bring your own sheets if you feel that you will get cold, as the sheets they provide are only for covering the bed, and in our case were dirty. Restaurant/entertainment: I was particularly excited to try the vegetarian menu here and socialise a night. Do not bother. Though they boast Indian dishes, and western food, it takes over 2 hours to get your food. I received different answers when asking of the possibility to pre-order was available, but ultimately we were not permitted to pre-order any good. The food was alright, but not worth the wait. Furthermore, despite the multiple "no smoking" signs, people are constantly smoking cigarettes and marijuana. Staff: Rude and not helpful. One man that showed us to our room was lovely, but anyone dealing with food/money/complaints were not at all pleasant or receptive. Ultimately, I've been to many other hotels in Ghana that offered berry rooms at better prices, friendlier staff and better for. Give this one a miss.
