A great hotel in a great location

T4346ABchrisr on Jan 12, 2025

I stayed at the Savannah in Nov 24 with 18 other family members, including a 91 year old, who has limited mobility. I was quite worried for her because after I had booked (and my fault entirely), i found out about the numerous steps around the building, and there were plenty. However, too late to cancel, i spoke at length with my Virgin advisor and also directly with the hotel, and everything turned out fine. We arranged to have a wheelchair made available to us, which, although it wasn't in the best condition, did the job we wanted. Now, down to the hotel. It was amazing and worthy of its 4*. The location couldn't be better, a 20-25 min walk into Bridgetown, which we did twice and about 5 -10 mins to walk down to see the horses from the garrison site, bathing in the sea Some of the staff could be a bit surly and unhelpful, but most were pleasant and accommodating. The only thing I wasn't too keen on was the food. It was the same every night, and everything tasted the same no matter what meat or fish it was and all too spicy for me. We only found out about the a la carte menu on our last night, but even that wasn't that brilliant, to be honest. But overall, I would give it the thumbs up and highly recommend it as your hotel of choice xxx

Wonderful Christmas and new year away

Caroline C on Jan 09, 2025

Was a little bit anxious about staying at this hotel having read some fairly mixed reviews before leaving the UK. This trip was a family trip with myself sister Mum and Dad and our families. This was to celebrate my mum and dad‘s 70th birthday. There were five children with us. This hotel is by no means perfect. Yes, some of the features are a little bit dated. Id probably say traditional to be honest as they’re not shabby just a bit old-fashioned. Island life is a slower pace and sometimes the service is reflected in this. The beach is rocky but there’s plenty of beach within walking distance if you want to swim. The little bit of beach owned by the hotel is perfect for sunsets, relaxing on and soaking in the beautiful Caribbean atmosphere. Though not perfect in every way, this was absolutely ideal for us. The staff are incredible, especially with the children. The food, I thought, was excellent. The cocktails were great. The pool is lovely and great for children. There were lots of special nights like beach barbecues with fire eaters. We were there for Christmas and New Year and both were celebrated really nicely with great events that made it really special. If you want a shiny immaculate hotel, then I suspect Barbados isn’t for you unless you have a lot of money. This is not going to be the standard of a five star in Turkey for the same price. It is however, a charming little family friendly joyful hotel which is small enough that you feel special but large enough that you feel entertained. I would definitely recommend it but suggest people that set their expectations for a more rustic stay that is perhaps a bit more traditional and has a bit more soul. Massive thanks to Kerri in kids club and Samantha in the restaurant and bar who both went the extra mile.

Best kids club ever!

Neil H on Jan 06, 2025

My son Joey (aged 9) and I stayed here for 10 nights Shortly after Christmas and had a fantastic holiday. We saw in 2025 at the hotel and all the staff and management made a huge effort for NYE. The room and hotel was very clean, the food was a mixture of dine in (al a carte) table service and buffet with a good selection of food to cater for all! The food regularly changed so each day/evening was different! The stand out part of the hotel was the kids club, we have been to Barbados 3 times and this is the best kids club for sure, in fact the best kids club we have ever used globally! my boy is normally sceptical about going in but I couldn’t keep him away, playing pool, table tennis, air hockey,hide and seek, also some arts and crafts! Kerri was amazing and Joey took to her straight away along with the other staff. Such an amazing team! A credit to the hotel! There were some great characters working at the hotel bar (drifters beach bar) , lots of banter and laughter and never a dull moment, in particular (Analis) the main man who gave the place a positive energy/vibe. One day we’ll be back!

8 stay at Savannah

Paul C (Stockport, United Kingdom) on Jan 06, 2025

We have now stayed at Savannah 8 times and have made many friends amongst the staff, the hotel is situated in a great location for getting around the island and seeing some amazing sights. The hotel has undergone some renovation since we were there in 2033 and belive more is planned in the coming months. As returning guests the hotel put a welcome back pack in our room which again is a nice touch after a long journey, Tha staff are so welcoming from reception to Beverly, Analis, Terence, Aquila,Jeleesa, Omari, Sheena and all the staff who's names I have forgotten, Thanks tonyou all. The Christmas decorations were great once again . The food was also very good (thanks Jeleesa) especially Thursday with all the seafood we loved it. Once again thank you all and see you in March 2025. Best Regards Paul and Caroline Carolan

A gem in paradise

Tracy M (Hertfordshire, United Kingdom) on Jan 06, 2025

We are staying at the Savannah Beach until 12th January and having read the review from Kizzy1976202 I felt I had to say something. This little gem of a hotel has been lovely, the staff are amazing and can’t do enough for you. No you can’t get food all day but you can eat as much as you like at breakfast which goes on until 10am and there is plenty to choose from then lunch starts at 12.30!!! I have stayed in hotels all over the world good and bad but this hotel has been lovely and I will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff here for making this a great holiday!
