Another satisfied clienHello Mr. Prempeh,

Thanks a lot for allowing me the use of your villa while home for vacation. I enjoyed every bit of it. I love the floor plan and the kids had a ball with the pool. Emma and the others guys were very helpful as well. I am glad I picked Akotaa over the others.

Thank you,

Margaret

Glowing endorsement from prospective client:-

Good evening Mr. Prempeh

My name is Isaac Thompson, living in Ghana.My cousin from Switzerland is coming in for holidays and has asked me to make some bookings for him, i managed to get the address of your guest house and after checking the facility i think it is a perfect place for my cousin.
I told him about it and he said i should go ahead and make the booking, that is how come i got your contact.
I would like to book the place for two and half weeks, that is from the 30th of this july to 20th of Aug and payment is going to be made by him upon his arrival but if you want us to pay some deposit in advance i will contact him and we will make some payment before he comes.
I will end here and congratulate you for having such a beautiful place. i was so much impressed when i saw the place.
I will be waiting for your reply.
Thank you.

yours sincerely.


shalom,
Isaac.

Dear Eddie

Thank you very much for your email and apologies for my late respons.

We have decided to move to another guest house closer to my workplace, which we found was not so easy.

However, since we will have to move out from Villa 3 now that it is booked up by the 20th, we would have to move anyway and therefore we might as well move to a guesthouse closer to my workplace.

We would like to say thank you very much for a very pleasant stay at Akotta Villas. We will give your contact details to other holiday makers we meet.

Best regards,

Elisabeth

Hi

We had a fantastic holiday in Ghana. Sylvester was the most helpful person and guided us through any difficulties we might have had and Marion looked after us very well. Joseph too

Thank goodness we had the 4x4 as there are potholes that families could live in and not be found for years.

The size of Accra was amazing, looking down from Legon Hill and Aburi is just unbelievable. Despite the size and the traffic we felt at home and visited our old haunts, sometime Conor (13) had his brain go on overdrive but we just enjoyed ourselves.

Ada Foah, Akasombo, Legon and Aburi. Fiona and Conor visited Ghana International School where she was a pupil.

Accra is vibrant!

Travel was made easy by the staff at Kotokoa Airport

Doris is not much in evidence but you have treasures in Sylvester, Marion and Joseph.

Thank you from the Cowan Family

Dear Eddie,

I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of all my family to thank you for providing us with two excellent villas!

We had a fantastic time in Ghana and having two first class villas to home home to was certainly a contributing factor. Special mention must go to your dedicated, hard working and highly professional staff who worked at both villas.

Once again, many thanks for all your help.

Best wishes,

Major Courage Quashigah (the Minister of Health) will be collaborating with us, so we plan to return. At that time we will want to stay for a longer term at one of your villas.

We will sign your visitors book and make sure everyone knows how happy we were with our stay. We look forward to working with you in the future.

We have just got back from a two week stay at Villas 2 and 3 January 2007. I would like to thank all of the staff for looking after us really well on behalf of myself and the rest of our large party. The food especially was very good and so were our drivers, Sylvester and Joe! The accomodation itself was spacious, light, airy and clean. The surrounding environment was also lively and an intersting place to stay in Ghana. We will miss Akotaa Villas! Thanks so much!

"I stayed in villa one with my fiance for a short break in Accra in early March. I must say that I was highly impressed with the villa which was of a high standard. The bedrooms were spacious and well tidy, the dinning area and lounge were perfect and the kichen was very spacious with all the tools at one's disposal.

I would recommend this villa to anyone who wants to stay in Accra. also it is a short ride from Accra central."

"Me & a few friends stayed at villa 3, we were picked from the airport efficiently, the staff were friendly and extremely helpful they catered for our every need. The premises were kept immaculate and we had everything there to our disposal and even if it wasn't there was always help around the corner 24 hrs a day!

I definantly recommend this villa as you will not be dissapointed, the pool area was great too and the grounds and villa were very spacious. I will definantly be using this villa again and will also be recommending it to family, friends and anybody else that I come across who is travelling to Ghana.

The whole stay was very enjoyable and the service overall was excellent.

"Dear Eddie,

Happy new year. Just wanted to send a quick email to let you know that Lawrence and I thoroughtly enjoyed our stay at your villa in December. Doris and the security guys were fantastic, and really made us feel at home.

I was wondering if I could check what the availability of the villa is in March/April - Lawrence and I are planning to return to Ghana possibly in the last week of march for approx 3 weeks (we're hoping some other family members may join us for some of the time and may need to book both villas for some of the time)

just wanted to check what availability was like as I'm aware its the 50th anniversary celebrations in march and thought you may be busy.

thanks again

Eddie,
I have to complement you on the operation you are able to run from a remote location.
Our stay at villa 2 was wonderful. All the staff members went to great lengths to make us feel welcome . It is a significant reason why our vacation in Ghana was so enjoyable.
I will be glad to make my comments in any context you wish, because you provide a terriffic service and I am willing to help get the word out.
Based on our experience, I will be surprised if you don't get some additional bookings.
Having said all that, I do have a couple of suggestions that may be of some assistance to you.

Congratulations on your ability to run such an effective operation from a distance.

Best Regards,

Hi Eddie,

We arrived from Ghana on Tuesday afternoon and we all had a wonderful time! The villa is really nice and comfortable and Nyako cooked us some really tasty dishes.
All the staff were really nice - including the watch men.
We will certainly recommend Akotaa villas to our friends and most definitely rent it again on our next visit to Ghana.
Thank you.

Hi Eddie

What can I say WOW absolutely loved the villas they are beautiful, the pictures on the web do it little justice, we all felt as though we were at home and didn’t want to leave. Leonard Joe and Doris are lovely. I can safely say I will be staying in your villas again; I’m already planning my next trip to Ghana. I’m depressed I want to go back.

Thanks for all your help I had a very rewarding stay.

This is Elizabeth Spirig I rented villa 1 in December. All in all
the stay was good and I am in love with Accra now. I just wanted you to
alert Sylvester to look out for a package that we sent him a week ago.
I sent it to an address he gave me however I cannot find his cell phone
. I just want to make sure that he receives it because we think he is
your most valuable employee and he made our trip fantastic. Please
e-mail me with his if you can. Thank you so much and hope to stay at

Hi Eddie,
Thank you for all your help in answering my questions and concerns about Akotaa Villa before traveling to Ghana. This was my 1st visit to Ghana and the Villa felt like home away from home.
The Villa was excellent. Our 2years old loved the space both indoors
and in the yard. I must say that Doris has a lot on her hands (managing all
the villas, in addition to cleaning and cooking) but was able to assist us whenever we needed her. Daniel is always around and the Villa is kept clean and beautiful.
We loved the villa and it was very comfortable for all of us. We had a
great stay and loved Ghana. Like they say in GA: "Ghana ye fel waa." It's a
beautiful country. When we Plan our next visit to Ghana we will give you a call in regards to our accommodation.

Hi,
I stayed at Villa 3 in Feb 2005. This was my 1st visit to Ghana and the Villa felt like home away from home. Doris was extremely helpful and was always available. The Villa was everything I expected and more. I first found Akotaa Villa on the internet and contacted Eddie who was prompt and very informative in his responds to my concerns. When I arrive in Ghana, I was greeted by Sylvester at the airport who drove us to the Villa where we met Daniel and Doris. Like other Ghanaian, Doris was very friendly, helpful and always had a smile on her face. My accommodations were excellent and I will recommend Akotaa Villa and will not hesitate to stay there again on my next visit to Ghana.

I stayed at the Villa for 13 days beginning end of January 2004 and feel compelled to place my thoughts here. Fistly my contact with the ownwer has always been promp and polite either by e mail or phone. From the moment I arrived at the airport I was looked after firstly by Sylvester, and on arrival at the Villa, Doris, and this continued for the duration of my stay.
By the end of my two weeks stay as far as I am concernned I had made two new friends. The Villa is everything it says on the site here and then some. The staff are very hard working and carry out their work with polite enthusiasm. I have travelled a number of times and stayed in some of the finest hotels yet I have never felt as comfortable as I did while at the Villa. My Fiancé and I travelled with Sylvester many times during our stay and were always extremely well looked after. The catering and houskeeping is in my opinion faultless. I enjoyed everything that was cooked, I also enjoyed the opportunity to experience Ghanaian dishes which by my choice was all I had while there. I know I will be returning to stay again, this Villa would always be my first choice when looking for accomodation in Accra. My anticipation of how wonderful my visit would be has been completely surpassed, I wish to thank the owner, Sylvester and Doris for everything as I have some great memories and would recomend this Villa to anyone.

I would like you to past on my thanks to Naana, Sly and Anmed for
making my
stay very enjoyable.
Nothing was to much trouble for any of the staff, Naana was very
pleasant and
kept the fridge well stocked with Star.
Sly was always on hand if anything was required.
Anmed knew everywhere, even in Kumasi. I kept him out late a few times
and he
never complained once, I even went to meet his wife and son.
I am returning in 2004 and will let you know what dates I will require
the
villa, if it is available.
Thanks again to all your staff.

My wife and I stayed here for 8 days during our vacation in Ghana in 2003. We were most impressed with our reception. The food was good, well prepared and served, and we had most of our meals here rather than eating out. The staff were polite and helpful. We plan to stay at the villa on our next holiday to Ghana.
