A POOL SHAPEDlike a continent
Three of them. One to swim lengths in, one for children, and a saltwater pool cut in the outline of Africa. A few steps from the room, and open from eight in the morning.
Three swimming pools · One saltwater · Children's pool
The concept
The C Resort began as Captan's Cabin, a family's house on the Prampram shore
It was one of the reasons Ghanaians started coming to this stretch of coast at all. Eighteen acres now, forty-five rooms, and a beach the turtles were using first.
Rooms, suites and apartments, some opening onto the garden and some onto the water. Carved local timber, calabash light, and work by Ghanaian artists on every wall.

garden on one, water on the other

What is here
One for lengths, one for children, and the Africa pool, filled with salt water.
Massage by the resort's own therapists, in a room that smells of the garden.
A glass court on the sand, floodlit, with the Atlantic on three sides of it.
Lawn tennis, table tennis, mini golf and a giant chess set nobody finishes.
Ostriches, pygmy goats, donkeys, and land tortoises older than the buildings.
Eating here
THREE CUISINES, one SHORELINE
Lebanese, Mediterranean and Ghanaian, cooked from scratch and served wherever you happen to be sitting. Mornings start with manakeesh out of the oven, eggs done properly and fruit cut that day. Lunch is grouper off the grill, hummus and fattoush, chargrilled tiger prawns, eaten with sand underfoot. Dinner runs long, and the Breeze Bar keeps the drinks going after it.
The menu is broad, but nothing on it is there for show. Order the banku with fried fish, order the chinchinga, order the bofrot with chocolate dip for after, and if something was landed that morning, order that.

30,000+Olive Ridley hatchlings released
The beach in front of the resort is a nesting site. It is kept quiet through the season, the nests are watched, and guests are invited down when a launch happens. The turtle in the logo is not decoration.
