I think TP is the only airline flying to TMS that I would feel comfortable flying on. Never know what sort of crews and maintenance you get with these small, fly by night African carriers. If you end up on Sao Tome island, Omali was good (not great).
While Accra itself isn't the greatest place, west of there are the former slave castles of the old Gold Coast. Cape Coast Castle and especially Elmina are simply astonishing, not only in terms of their history but also their architecture and their setting in fishing villages and vast beaches. A day trip from Accra isn't really feasible. Elmina has passable accommodation. This is West Africa folks.
