We have finally bought a membership to a hotel pool in Accra. We spent about five months sampling the various hotel pools in and around the city in an attempt to find something accessible and affordable. Of course the search was not tedious, especially since we have conducted it during one of the fiercest Canadian winters on recent record (sorry!). Just as we were about to give up and continue to pay regular day use fees that range from twenty to thirty-five Cedis every time (for the whole family), we found a great hotel pool within walking distance of my school. I’m not sure why we overlooked it before but it is quiet and clean and it only cost us 250 Ghana Cedis for a six month membership for the whole family. This enables Carmilla to leave work at lunch time and go for an afternoon swim, and I can sneak out for a dip and a little poolside reading at the end of my day while waiting for the family to pick me up. We have already gone once as a family and we had the pool almost all to ourselves for the better part of an afternoon. Now, this is the part where I should include a picture of the hotel sign, or at least mention the name, but I won’t because we are terribly selfish and want the whole pool to ourselves…sorry again!
Note: Of course if you have a magnifying glass, you may just be able to find the name of the hotel in one of the above pictures...
