Solar power now provides light and electricity to the 5 bungalows built in local Akan tradition, available for sleeping in right on the beach which have their own showers. Showers for other rooms are enjoyed with privacy but open air, allowing you to shower under the stars or overlooking the beautiful Ezile Bay. There are also 4 large family suits with outside showers and toilets.

In addition to the beautiful beach and resort there is ample opportunity to hike and explore the surrounding Cape Three Point area. The near by village of Akwidaa will welcome you as guest, you can then take a canoe up the Ezile river through the mangroves. There is a great surfing beach within 5 minutes of walking as an extra bonus, the resort will offer body boards if you are not a surfer.

Aspects of in person evaluation that could use some improvement:
