We
e-mailed Big Milly's (Wendy) and asked for a taxi to collect us in the
airport. And though our plane was delayed, the taxi was there for us -
thank you!. Big Milly´s i a very cosy leaned back place. And if you want
European hotel standard don't go there.- We enjoyed it.
We
stayed for 1 week in November 2011. The place and people is very nice as
described by other guests. You should be aware of ordering dinner before 4
pm. We now think that one week is 3 days too much, because there’s
really not much to do outside the (rather large) hotel area, exept from
relaxing. The beautiful beach is long, but you should only walk about 100
m to the left. To the right you can walk about 300 m to the end of the
beach. In the surrounding Kokrobite village we could walk a few hundred
meters around the hotel. If you walk 5 min. through the village you’ll
reach the tro tro stop.
We went on a nice cheap trip to Accra, in a tro tro, with
one of the men, who were sewing bookmarks just outside the hotel. His name
is John (Kofi). He is kind and reliable and has a good knowledge of his
country. We also recommend a trip to the Monkey Sanctuary, a beautiful
small natural area, with Sammy- a nice rastaman, who has a shop with
woodworks just opposite the very good Italian restaurant (the Garden
Restaurant). We had a really fine trip an saw a lot of monkeys and a lot
of different birds. We were there around 4 pm, and at that time
people from the village came to the small lake to collect clean water from
a water source.

The
hotel buildings are several not so pretty big blocks and need some shine
up. So does the garden area. But we enjoined to take a walk on the marked
off walking paths around on the rather large hotel area. There was an area
with rabbits and some basins with fish breed for use in the restaurant.
The room was basic but clean. The pool also looked nice and clean. The
restaurant was nice we could sit outside an watch the thousands of weaver
birds building their nests. We could watch, and even touch, the crocodiles
of which we saw three laying on the ground. (I guess they had had a large
meal before the guests were allowed to touch them). The staffs were kind
and we were very satisfied with the place.

Vi sendte Big Milly's en email (Wendy) og bad om en taxa til at hente os i lufthavnen. Og selvom vores
fly var forsinket ventede taxien på os - tak!
Big Milly's er et meget hyggelig og afslappet sted. Og hvis du er til europæiske hotel
standarder, så er det ikke der du skal tage hen.- Vi nød det.
Vi var der 1 uge i november 2011. Stedet er dejligt og primitivt, folk er meget
venlige, som beskrevet andre steder. Vær opmærksom på at bestille
aftensmad før 16:00. Vi mener at en uge er 3 dage for meget, for der er
virkelig ikke meget at ta' sig til uden for (det store) hotel område,
bortset fra afslapning. Den smukke strand er lang, men du bør kun gå
omkring 100 m til venstre. Til højre kan du gå omkring 300 m til enden
af stranden. I den omkringliggende Kokrobite landsby kunne vi gå et par
hundrede meter. Hvis du går 5 min. gennem landsbyen, kommer du til Tro
Tro stoppestedet.
Vi tog på en dejlig billig tur til Accra, i en Tro Tro,
med en af mændene, der syede bogmærker lige uden for hotellet. Hans navn
er John (Kofi). Han er venlig og pålidelig og har et godt kendskab til
sit land. Vi kan også anbefale en tur til Monkey Sanctuary, et smukt
lille natur areal, med Sammy- en venlig rastaman, som har en butik med træhåndværk
lige overfor den meget gode italienske restaurant (The Garden Restaurant).
Vi havde en rigtig fin tur en så en masse aber og en masse forskellige
fugle. Vi var der omkring kl 16, og ved den tid kom folk fra landsbyen til
den lille sø for at hente rent vand fra en kilde.
