TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

Just returned from a 2nd trip to the Savannah Beach and can't understand some of the poorer reviews so if you are due to stay here I hope this puts your mind at rest. Firstly the previous comments regarding steps is correct, if you have mobility issues this isn't the place for you, although there is a lift but it's not obvious where it is unless you need it. Rooms - we were in 720 and previously in 413. Both were clean, spacious and we had no issues. Staff - possibly the best feature of the hotel. Yes, there are some that are possibly are in the wrong job BUT the vast majority are lovely and couldn't be more welcoming. Special shout out to (and apologies for those I've missed) Analis, Shem, Jamar, Richard, Robert, Alicia, Arianna, Samantha, Beverly and the lady manager at Drifters who didn't have a name badge. Plus the lovely lady who made my 3 poached eggs each morning with a smile on her face ! Food - we were all inclusive. Breakfast was good with a lot to choose from. Lunch and dinner were often buffet style and changed from Drifter and Rachel's. If you're here for any longer than say a week it might get a bit repatative but then most places are like that. But we never went hungry which says it all really. Location - great location on the beach and within walking distance to Pebbles beach to see the horses and also Carlisle beach. On the main road so easy to get the bus to Lawrence Gap, Oistins, Bridgetown, Holetown etc. However, because of the layout of the hotel no rooms are effected by traffic noise which is a definite plus. Only issue this time was the South coast beaches are affected by a lot of seaweed which was not there last time we came in December. That said, that's Mother nature for you and not a lot you can do really. To help with this the hotel puts on a free shuttle bus to a beach club on the West coast, only about 10 minutes away, where the beach is gorgeous and you get beds, an umbrella and $20 BDS each to spend. It leaves at 10am and they bring you back at 3pm and it's a great day out and if you don't fancy getting a local bus it's a good way to see another part if the island. A few other suggestions - do a catamaran if you can. We did Cool Runnings and it was great BUT make sure you slap lots of factor 50 on ! Also look up Ted's Tours which is excellent. Finally, get to early on morning and walk over to Pebbles beach to wash the horses from the Garrison and say hi to Nola from the pop up coffee stand on the beach - and if you're lucky enough to go when there's a race day on it's about a 2 minute walk from the hotel so make the most of it and get across and have a bet. Anyway I hope that's been useful, we're already looking into a 3rd visit so enough said really

First time visitors to Barbados and we found the Savannah excellent. Firstly it's a lovely colonial style hotel. Nice rooms, but the bed is high. The pool area was nice, and there were sufficient beds available. The food was typically Barbadian and nicely cooked. Not a huge choice though. The staff were wonderful, always a happy good morning and very helpful. Yes you might have to wait a while but that's their way. Chill and enjoy. It's easy to get around a d a great place to chill

My partner, myself and our sub 2 year old twin girls have just spent 10 nights at the Savannah hotel and had a great time! The staff have been fantastic throughout, really friendly and made us feel very welcome. They made a huge effort with the girls too who are naturally quite shy and reserved. The hotel is very relaxing and you can easily find seats, tables and sunbeds which have proven to be tough at other hotels we’ve stayed at. We certainly enjoyed our stay at the Savannah and would like to give a massive thank you to all the staff who work there. Dan, Barbara and the twins Darcy & Hazel!

My friends and I went on a staycation; it was a great experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was relaxing, the service was on point, and the food — easily the best hotel food I’ve ever had. Every meal was full of flavour and honestly exceeded our expectations. The staff made our stay even more enjoyable. Alicia in the dining area was amazing — warm, engaging, and made our meals feel extra special. I also want to highlight the bellman (unfortunately, I didn’t catch his name), who was incredibly helpful both when we arrived and again when we were leaving. His friendly and professional attitude stood out. Overall, it was a memorable getaway, and I’d definitely return.

We had an amazing time here and enjoyed walking to Carlisle beach (10-15 mins) and enjoyed the free shuttle bus to Copa Cabana beach which even included credit to buy a drink! The hotel was fabulous, the beach BBQ on the last night was amazing! However we wished we hadn’t been travelling home the following day. There were different restaurants available each night to book (you could book at breakfast and let them know of children’s meals needed). We had a buffet breakfast each day, some days a buffet lunch but the restaurant options with set menus kept us feeling slim and really enjoying some lovely food. We never felt bored of eating in the same restaurant. The people were lovely and always so helpful. We would like to recognise some hotel colleagues who provided an excellent service; Ramon the hotel rep, Samantha and Roger in the restaurants and Richard and Tiffany in the bars. Thank you, you really helped to make our holiday; always amazing with our daughter Sofia and the friends she made there.
