Before the END SARS Saga, it had deteriorated and after its aftermath everything was vandalised. Nothing is happening there anymore
This is a beautiful place that is wasting away. It needs to be revived.
Great location for business conferences or a family outing with amusement park, pool and golf course
Nice place to be
Its was wonderful, beautiful serene environment
Its actually a shadow of its original plan but during the festive period, its booked with alot of people around.I see it as okay because we came as a holiday group and there was so much fun for us by the to travel agency who brought us here.The facility is just there, nothing special, food just okay, rooms okay, services okay.
The place is beautiful but nothing seems to be working there again all place is shot down
I was really disappointed when I visited as I already had a lot of expectations of Tinapa Resort.. I got there and actually regretted the trip. The place is mismanaged! And almost ruined.. nothing works there.. the pool is not dredged and the water is very dirty! All the water ways and amenities at the resort werent functioning. There is apparently nothing pf interest there.. Dont go there..
When visiting this place,make sure youve a car to help you move around if not! Heheehehe,you shall walk and be tired😂. Anyways,its a nice place to be and Im sorry I couldnt get more pictures because I was having so much fun that I forgot to actually take pictures. Im looking forward to visiting again soon and after that visit, Ill have a lot of pictures to satisfy your eyes with😊😊
Very beautiful and serene environment. I loved it so much. Quiet and peaceful. I would love to go back soon.
Really fantastic place. Nice ambience and a good place to relax.
The place isnt functioning anymore
The Tinapa Business resorts is not what its used to be. The Management and Government of Cross river State are not investing to keep the dream and aspirations of the Cross River residents alive. The venue used to be a centre of attraction and world class interests for international conferences and national programs during the Donald Duke Administration.The place is so dry and silence by the time I visited. There was no sign of business around the resort as few individuals who operate their businesses are complaining seriously. The electricity supply is not stable and therefore perishable goods and energy Services products cannot be opened.I will not recommend this place for anyone to visit because its a way of resources and time coming from Abuja or any part of the Country all in the name of visiting Tinapa. Even the hotel that used to be a world class is very quite and not funded to operate like a functional Government supported facility.The present government seems to loose interest in this multi sectoral industry. If the Government cannot manage this Industry, maybe it should be privatized so that public can have access to its shares and manage it to maximize profits.
Really serene environment
The master plan is sweet but its in something that looks like a locked down
It is the largest and the biggest convention /Event centre in Africa.Come and have the largest and boldest of your event in Calabar!! It all fun of no comparison, best of photos background, best of Janitorial services (HALLY JANITORIAL SERVICES), Excellent Atmosphere, Excellent weather, name them! and lot more.Come and dwell in PEACE.
Cool place for family outing, get together venue and many more.
Holiday resort and duty-free shopping
Its a very beautiful place to visit, great serenity for leisure and tour.
This place was built to house AMEs, be a one stop leisure place for families and friends. But change in government has turned it into something else
Great
Tinapa is as multipurpose Entertainment and leisure park located at the outskirts of Calabar city. As at the time of Visit it was almost not functioning due to lack of maintance. There was zero guests at the hotel and the only functioning part of this edifice was the swimming pool which is now majorly visited by the locals.There are rumors that the state government leased the place out to a private firm and since then # the place is now a shadow of what it used to be.
A great place in an alluring environment. Has great potentials of becoming a top 10 tourist destination. Can do with better management
Wonderful
Its a great place. Great view too. It just needs more traffic to be more lively
A good place for quality leisure and business.
Nice Place to be. (Home away from Home)
Nice place, just needs repairs
Horrible Food. Horrible Staff. Tiny hard beds. Facilities run down and abandoned
Has always been fun headquarters
The place with its beauty and naturally made is a perfect place for honeymoon and vacation. It has facilities that will entertain you and make your stay very lively.
An ocean of green, land like you dont see often. Loved this place
It was awesome, I loved it ❤❤
Great, one of the best in C.R
Is not functioning as before
A quiet and serene location. However the facilities are on the decline. Its glory days are gone. When they is no event going on, it is place to go if you want to get away from it all.
Luxury worth the cost. Little fun however.
I love the resort , because it is so clam and quiet for matured minds
Super attractive. Fun all the way. 5 star hotel. Game centre. A great view!
Lacks appropriate management, however the staffs are nice and receptive.
Great place in the past, completely empty and abandoned by the Govt. All side attractions are nonfunctional at the moment. Sad and lonely place to be now
Lovely room. Lovely view. The lakeside is beautiful and one can actually go on a boat ride. Enjoyed their food service esp plantain&eggs! Super courteous staff. Just that its beginning to look abandoned - cobwebs in the high ceilings and grass growing in between concrete slabs. Poor maintenance no doubt yet it was a remarkable experience. Oh, and noisy, really noisy, air conditioner in my room.
Nice place for retreat. Has the ambience for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Nice and courteous staff as well.
Highly deserted. Most shops were closed down, the ones left were dark and musty. No directions as it is quite an enormous place and we got lost several times locating places there. They need to revamp the place, such a waste of a great tourist idea and simply space. A great big waste of space.
Serene environment, 5 star lodging.
Go9d food and great location
The place is a very big site seeing but not like it before, it no more bubbling, the government need to reactivate it, as it was a mind blowing place to be.
For great business and leisure
The Lakeside hotel is fantastic and the waterpark, boat cruise are such a fun activity to engage in.
Good tourist centre in the mode of Sun City in South Africa. Though it wasnt fully operational when I visited but it is expected that activities will pick up well before Christmas.
Cosy but exquisite. A little bit over priced but worth every effort to be here. Not many entertainment options around. Nice though.
The restaurant is a joke ....i did not stay i only went there to eat and they had only 4 local dishes although they said on phone they were operating with continental dishes. Not worth the trip.
It needs an investor,though the place is fine
Very poor management, dead. No activity
Its not as fun as it was before, it lacks proper maintenance
Natural environment,facilities for leisure and relaxation.
Nothings working but theres great scenery
Once a booming resort, now an abandoned facility
Its a very nice place for people on vacation
A amazing service. Im sure its the best in Calabar. Perfect location.
Nice and cool environment. Very hospitable people.
Tinapa rocked, if you are looking for a great place to spend your weekend or holiday, I recommend Tinapa. Great value for your money.
Awesome place. Could be boring if visited during off season period. And please, if you dont have a car, have a taxi on standby for you all the time. The walk from the main gate is quite a distance.
It showcases alot of the rich landmass we have in Nigeria. A good place to relax.
Shame on the calabar govt. With the kind of money spent putting this historic place together, only for it to be wasted and abandoned like this??!!!!. Big shame!!
Nice place, it is in Calabar, Cross River
A home away from home. Serene and quiet. Good food
Tinapa Lakeview hotel and the international convention center are places to visit. The experience and memories lingers on due to the organization of the place.The brain behind the initiation should be commended.
Its nice place to have fun with your love ones
I like the place only that most of the things werent function. Its actuall good for vacation but need proper management.
Tinapa was a very good place for shopping and entertainment before now but since it was not given the full opportunity to function as planned it no longer function well.
Serene environment with cool atmosphere. Fun!
This is the best lake side hotel in Nigeria with a peaceful, clean n green environment. When u come here, ull make it your home
A nice place abandoned to waste. Oooooo naija my country. A friend remarked that, the TINA has been deleted, its only the PA that is remaining in terms of services. Regrettably I agree with him
Well planned and built structures, should have been a great place for business... what a waste!
Well thought business friendly concept, lying waste.
The historic view has all been abandoned and its no longer mich fun
The dream of Tinapa seems abandoned, or perhaps the momentum to realize the end product was lost somewhere in time. The mega shopping complex was a colossal waste as at time of visit.
Tinapa hotel is a hotel with everything of there service is so comfortable and convenience.. I love tinapa lakeside hotel...
Nice place to be in but lacks proper management
So nice and cool area, in fact the whole of calaba is a very quirt and nice to live
One of the best in Calabar. All inclusive service at the peak of hospitality.
Hotel is not functioning until then dont have bulk booking.... Food is not available bcoz no guest in hotel ...but yes drinks are available and if you like nature and silence place then you can visit. Food is expensive.
Beautiful thought and place, but zero economy
Great place. Poor maintenance, but still a great site to visit
The ambience is lovely, one of the best scenery in Nigeria. They however need to work on improving quality of service...
