Advantages: Room is well decorated; the sandy beach is superb; the food is very good; the owner and his wife are friendly Inconvenients: Room was given without any single towel despite having asked repeatedly for it; lights in the hotel are not enough in numbers specially near the restaurant, and not bright enough in the room; too many waves and...

I had a great experience here. Philippe and Fanta do a wonderful job. Their kitchen is top notch. Fanta hand rolls pasta daily. Their seafood is incredible. The breakfast is decent but the coffee is perfect. Lovely candlelit dinner. Perfect secluded beach. Butre is my personal favorite beach in Ghana. They could certainly improve the cleanliness of the rooms. I... More

Great small hotel which is fairly basic but has everything you need. An amazing beach with no hassle and the owners are very friendly and do everything to make your visit enjoyable. The food is really good with plenty of fresh fish and pasta. We were very luck and saw lots of turtles laying there eggs on the beach and... More

We decided to stay here because of incredible reviews from friends, but were very disappointed in the end. The rooms looked nice at first glance, but there was a lingering smell of mold and sewage. While in the room we constantly felt damp. The rooms don't have hot water, which isn't an issue as many of the places on the... More

This resort I have visited a few times and stayed in the hut type accommodation. We loved the sound of the sea and although no aircon the natural breeze through the windows did well and the sound of the sea just instantly made you relax. Bathroom had no hot water but it you didn't really need it and the morning... More

The beech and the views are amazing. It can be a bit of a trek to get there but is worth it as its quiet and very relaxing. We spent there 5 nights during our trip in Ghana and had a great time. The bungalows are comfortable, the food is great and the owners, a French & Nigerian couple make... More

Admittedly, the rooms can be somewhat damp and i'd probably bring my own mosquito nets but the views, especially from the stilted houses are incredible. The food is excellent, they even make their own pasta. The beach is wild but great for some body surfing. It was by far and away our favourite spot in Ghana. We lived there for... More

We stayed at Fanta's Folly for 11 nights over Christmas. We were in the middle of a 12 month trip and needed somewhere for a rest. Fanta's Folly fit the bill perfectly. They are about an hour from Takoradi, the closest big town. You get to them down narrowing dirt roads that end at a beautiful white sand beach fringed... More

We stayed few nights at Fanta's Folly. It was very relaxing and quite. The rooms are very nice incl. the Veranda. We had the last bungalow in the row for one night and I can only recommend it. The beach is clean around the place but quite rough. Food was very good but I wouldn't call it oustanding.
