    I liked the cool ambience which was a very sharp contrast from the hustling and bustling outside. The location has lots of camera friendly background for very lovely pictures and I saw people cleaning the surrounding that morning. Such a great spot for relaxation for both kids and adults

    This place is popularly known as Plaza at Ikotekpene, Akwaibom State. The building that stands high within the vicinity is known as Four Points Sharaton Hotel. It's a luxurious hotel with a high standard. Most times, they only allow visitors and customers with cars inside the hotel surrounding.

    Beautiful city park in the middle of ikot ekpene town, in the land of promise Akwa ibom state.. There are children swing, playground and hide and seek play section for your children to have fun. They have public toilets for male and female. A drink out spot, restaurant and snacks for a sitting out pleasure. Be free to visit the city park it looks amazingly beautiful.

    The park is a great place to relax with a lot of trees. It's so serene you couldn't even tell it's right in the middle of the road. It overlooks Four Points Hotel. There are several vendors selling food and drinks, there are sitting areas, a playground for kids and a fountain that no longer works. It is convenient for groups or solo hangouts. There's no entrance free, so it's free for all. I didn't notice any security presence around the premises.

    Raffia City Plaza is a clean and serene park with stores where you can get something to eat and drink. Ordered for noodles and it was well prepared. Best to visit with kids for the kids park they have and if you are with a lover, nice hangout spot as well. I liked that there wasn't much noise and again, it was mostly clean with waste bins at strategic areas

  • 3/5 NSISONG ESSIEN (. 3 years ago on Google • 43 reviews
    The place is a shadow of its former glory. Such a mess! I only do hope it's as a result of the COVID19 era, cos it looks deserted and unkempt. Obviously the absence of nightlife in the town has also contributed to the state of the plaza.

  • 5/5 Fredrick O. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is the happening area of ikot ekpene, the plaza area has attractive relaxation spot such as Sheraton hotel, the plaza, The place restaurant among others. The area is where the young and old people of ikot ekpene enjoy themselves mostly on weekend basis.

    I served in Akwa Ibom in 2016, this is what plaza looked like then.. Picture was taken in the night tho. It's a beautiful hang out spot. Had a little birthday get together here. Four point was still under construction then i hope it's been used now

    Nice park...left to rot away gradually by poor management.

  • 4/5 Udeme H. 4 years ago on Google
    This should make a great events centre in the city centre. It is a serene enclave in the heart of the hustle and bustle. With a open space that can seat up to 500 and a car park accessible via a pedestrian bridge, it is a great venue, especially for wedding receptions. The pedestrian bridge offers a scenic views of the traffic below! ... the downside is that the facility looks very much in need of care....

  • 3/5 Eze F. 4 years ago on Google

    Cool city... not 5star because of excessive biker(okada men). They are so careless and seem not to care about road safety protocols while preying the road.

  • 5/5 Queup 1 year ago on Google
    Calm and cool city. Maybe because of closeness to Aba Town, commodities are relatively cheap. The city also have several good hotels and eatering.

  • 3/5 Aniekan U. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is very beautiful, peaceful and clean, and the sound of birds there connect you with the nature. It feels so natural to be there as the birds chirp and sing like it is thier last day on the earth

  • 3/5 Nyakno C. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a cool place... A bit of a business hub with few relaxation spots.

  • 3/5 Udemeobong 1 year ago on Google
    City centre of the historic Raffia City of Ikot Ekpene. Bubbly business spot with roads connecting the whole city. With the pedestrian bridge at this spot, you can simply cross over into the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel.

  • 5/5 Mmenyene B. 1 year ago on Google
    Would have rated a 2 star simply because I spent all of my money buying a handmade customised amulet necklace for me and 21 others. But it goes for 5 stars. The amulets were worth it

    Raffia City is very neat, calm, and quiet with affordable items. The beauty of the plaza is the good road network, accompanied by a world-class hotel (Four Point by Sheraton) that always attracts a lot of viewers across the globe.

  • 3/5 Abang P. 7 months ago on Google
    So we were driving through the streets of Anambra on our way to Osun State for CLASFON Conference (CNC 23), We then came across this Plaza. It was an amazing sight to behold. Like I mentioned earlier, we were only passing so I didn't get to savour the beauty of the plaza in its entirety. In all, it was beautiful.
