Heliconia Park Port Harcourt Hotel and Suites
A hot spring bath alongside the outdoor pool and hot tub
About this hotel
The hot spring bath is the property's clearest point of difference, a genuinely rare amenity for an inland Niger Delta city, sitting alongside a year-round outdoor pool, hot tub and spa facilities. Rooms come with a balcony, kitchenette and air-conditioning, useful for a longer stay, and the restaurant serves African and international cuisines with free WiFi throughout the property. A minimarket, tennis court and sauna round out the amenities, and free on-site private parking and a paid shuttle service simplify getting around. The property sits close to both the Port Harcourt City Mall and the Port Harcourt Golf Club, roughly 31 kilometres from the airport, a longer transfer worth weighing against the fuller amenity list.

Our take
Travellers staying here will find one of Port Harcourt's most amenity-dense wellness stays, with the hot spring bath setting it apart from every other hot tub or spa pool hotel in the city. Guests wanting a longer, wellness-focused visit near the shopping and golf clubs will get the most from it, though the 31-kilometre airport distance makes it less ideal for a short overnight.
- ✓Try the hot spring bath ahead of the hot tub, since it's the amenity found nowhere else in this list of Port Harcourt hotels.
- ✓Book a kitchenette room if staying multiple nights, useful given the longer drive from the airport.
- ✓Combine a visit with the nearby Port Harcourt City Mall or a round at the Port Harcourt Golf Club to make the most of the location.

Why guests love itWe extended our stay by two nights once we found the hot spring bath, something neither of us expected this far from any coast. Between that, the hot tub and the outdoor pool, we never ran out of ways to decompress after days out at the Port Harcourt City Mall or nearby golf club. The kitchenette room made the stay easier to manage, especially on mornings we skipped the restaurant. The drive from the airport felt long, but we'd do it again for that hot spring bath.
