Sankofa Beach Resort, Langma

Quaint and very personal resort in Krokrobite. Hidden spot, far enough to get away from the city but close enough to be reached fast enough.

The owner, Masao is a fantastic host. I stayed in that resort for about 4 days and every day he would come to us, tell us what ingredients the kitchen had, and let us say what we are in the mood for. He surprised us every with great dishes! Too bad I wasn't able to capture the other dishes we had!

Rooms are decent. Don't expect anything fancy. We had the room on the beach front. It was not bad at all. :)

Rockafeller, Osu, Accra

Rockafeller is my new favourite spot to eat to have a shisha and relax. It is a fusion of sushi and grills. If you have lived in Accra long enough, it is like me saying 3121 and Honeysuckle. The ambiance has a good feel though... although it seems like a fancy sports bar (big screen Tvs showing sports and some of the food on the menu)... it's not entirely one because they have sushi!

So far I have tried the appetizers and the sushi. My recommendations for sushi - crispy salmon salad, dynamite rolls, crazy boy rolls and smoked salmon rolls.
But that's just me being biased... I have a habit of always just ordering a bunch of appetizers and I LOVE sushi. Some have told me though that other dishes on the menu is a must try.

Photos below are of when I ate inside, but I discovered I like their outside space. It's a corner of 3121, it's quiet, doesn't feel like you are in Osu, and they have shisha. They do run out of shisha bottles so if you want to smoke one, go on a weekday!

Strawberry Margarita (if I remember correctly)...haha!

Some of the appetizers we ordered - the chicken wings are great!

Can't go wrong with sushi

The Colour Centre, Coral Paints, Accra

The Colour Centre, the first in the country, is a place where homeowners can sit with the colour consultant to be guided through colour schemes and colour inspirations.

It was a great experience choosing colours. I came in because I was repainting my newly moved two bedroom house. So I booked an appointment via email and I was replied to promptly.

When I visited, I was offered coffee or tea. I noticed a Nespresso machine so I had that instead - decaf. :) I was also offered a chocolate bar (local favourite - Golden Tree with the red cover). Now already I saw the fishes in their pond, the security guy greets me before I enter the place, now I'm being pampered with this. Little things matter. I was impressed.

The surrounding is cozy and comfy. After small chit chat, I showed images of my home to the colour consultant and she took me through 3 options of colour combinations / schemes. She also showed me pegs of homes in magazines that she thought would inspire me think of how to set up my home. Nice and friendly lady. :)

The best part of it, all what I've talked about and the consultation... it was all free of charge.

Two words - Customer service!!

So if you're looking to repaint or paint your home and needs help in choosing colours, I recommend you to visit the Colour Centre.

 Consultation is via appointment. You can email to sales@coral-ghana.com

Shisha and Salsa at Tam Tam African Restaurant, Afrikiko

It started when one girlfriend invited me to go out on a Wednesday night to try out the salsa at Afrikiko. It was really intimidating at first seeing all those dancers twirling and shaking it. Everyone looked so good dancing salsa that I wasn't sure I could even start learning there.

But there came a Wednesday when I just didn't care whether or not I could kept up or not. I decided I should just start and see how the salsa finds me! My first dance partner, Charles, was a winner. He was patient and he taught me the basics.

Now I look forward to Wednesdays. I'm slowly learning more and more moves. More than that, it's thoroughly enjoyable!

So ever since, I try to go every Wednesday to Tam Tam African Restaurant at Afrikiko to learn more steps :) The dance instructors are from Dancation International. They also have other dance classes like kizumba and so on.

The plus of going is that there is shisha! The vibe around you is chill and fun. More and more of my friends come by to try salsa and hang out to have shisha. I think out of all the places I go to, to have shisha, this is the most enjoyable - good company, music and ambiance.
