Hotel Spot Check

Lou Moon

LOCATION.

Situated a few kilometres east of

Axim, Lou Moon, a paradise resort is set

within a cove with a sombre still sea on

the south side, and roaring waves as the

shore makes a south westerly curve.

Then, almost immediately inland, a

dense tropical forest envelops its north

side! No where else in Ghana gives off

such extraordinary ecological extremes.

Marry that with the stone, wood and glass architecture and decor of the lodge,

along with its hospitality and you get a

perfect getaway!

ROOMS & AMENITIES 

10 unique rooms in eco-friendly architecture, constructed using locally sourced materials harmonized with surrounding landscape. There are 4 villas, each with its own plunge swimming pool on an island, and 2 suites, 4 standard rooms on the main land, altogether giving a total number of 19 beds.

Each room is distinctive in appeal and, especially the bathrooms are designed to add to the overall aesthetic with minimalist features. Few of them have cute little fridges. Some also deliberately are devoid of a television set, but if you want one it can easily be installed for you. There is Wi-Fi and a very decent frequently replenished coffee/tea making facilities and accoutrements maybe Laundry service available though.

PROPERTY FEATURES & SERVICES 

Within the grounds; a massive lawn which can be used for medium sized events, swimming pool with a pergola with privately draped nooks, table tennis tables, a mini archery rink and spa services. There’s a place for mini golfing, child friendly games and water sports; kayak, rafting, as well as hiking.

CONVENTION FACILITIES

There’s no dedicated business center, but Lou Moon is where you would call a destination hotel, with a green lawn and landscape that give off exotic vistas as backdrops to grand outdoor events. And with 24 hours security, they pack every thing that makes your event run smoothly.

TIME TO EAT

From breakfast to lunch, dinner or a tasty little snack, the kitchen provides balanced choices and à la carte service 24/7. The restaurant, up on the deck in the large hut serves mostly continental dishes. You may sit a Pool Terrace, where there’s a mini bar in the cosy ambience and you can get to have all your meals and drinks served you inside the draped nook.

RATES

From GHC 2,730/night

VERDICT 

I absolutely love this resort for its exquisite appeal and it is so deserving of its famed star destination status. It’s recently undergone some improvements, and maintained a clean, pleasant ambience with very experienced staff who make things seem like a breeze.

Celebrating 20 years only last means they are still young but been around long enough to know a thing or two about giving guests exactly what they deserve; some “prime luxe”! It being a good few hour’s drive away from the capital, where you have endure endless delays on bumpy roads and diversions owing to ongoing construction, still justifies being on your bucket list. Why? Besides the staff ensuring that you are pampered, the nature of the environment, and minimalistic design will enhancing your comfort and connection with nature.
