Liberia; an Overview
Liberia is a relatively small country surrounded by Sierra Leone and Guinea. It is a country with US ties and the country capital, Monrovia is even named by an US president James Monroe. Mangrove forests cover the coastline.
The climate is a typical equatorial climate rendered by the close proximity of the country to the equator. It is hot all the year round and rains heavily in the months of October- November. The winters are also not pleasurable owning to the dry Harmattan winds that blow. The amount of dust and debris that is brought in during this time proves to be a real menace. Traveling during these months is strictly unadvisable.
Monrovia is the capital city with a population of a million. Other major cities, which are great tourist attractions, are Robertsport (good for surfing), Greenville, Harper and Paynesville (an excellent spot for base-jumping).
If sports are not your forte, you still can have a very good time in Liberia. There is the Sapo National Park and the Blue Lake, which are good places to see. The providence islands, where the first Liberians lived, might also interest you.

The facilities include parking, restaurant (highly recommended), room service, suites and a pool.
Next on the list is the RLJ Kendeja Resort and Villas. It has a beautiful location at the beachfront with 76 rooms and private villas. It also has presidential suits and a restaurant, spa, gym pool many shops and not to miss, a business Centre with state of the art facilities. It is definitely the best option for you if you wish to pamper yourself after a day’s tour!
Royal Hotel (15th street, Tubman Blvd. Sinkor, Monrovia). It is another property, which is not a bad deal. It has all the amenities that you would need while your stay in the city. Though the hotel is good, some of the guests might not like it much as the décor is not very attractive. But over in all a very good value for money.
Though most of these hotels and many other guesthouses have security arrangements, it is also advised that you take care of your belongings. It is particularly unsafe for women travellers to be typically exploring the unseen parts of the city.
Though the people of Liberia are very hospitable and generous, rapes and other such crimes are ever increasing. So be a little careful and you would surely have a great stay in the city.
