Okoume Palace or Intercontinental as it is often called, is 5 minutes from the airport. Rates CFA 60 000 can usually be negociated, for the price you'll probably be dissapointed, but LBV is expensive. Breakfast is another CFA 8000 and a bottle of water CFA 2000 min. The rooms are a/c and have TV, double beds and are safe, noise free (unless close to lift) and have towels, soap and toilet paper....the beach is just over the road but better to swim in hotel pool which is usually clean and not too crowded. There is also a gym and beauty parlour, with sauna and massage. The bar has a big TV screen and is good for big sports events, but otherwise has little ambience, perhaps the odd hooker or business man, but best go to the town if you want to meet more interesting people. The restaurant is okay, slow service but if desperate and don't want to go into the town then eat there.
Meridien is the far side of town, about 15 minutes from the airport. It's probably a better hotel than the Okoume in terms of comforts, costs about the same and has similar facilities. Much depends on whether you wish to be close to the aiport or not. I like both hotels.
