The food I can only explain as Wetherspoons on a bad day with short kitchen staff??bar closes at 20.30 bedtime if you are on holiday. If you want a 2nd drink from the bar be sure to turn up with your glass as you won’t get a clean one. Do yourself a favour and pay a little bit more for a proper 4 star hotel where customers are valued.

beach location full of rocks ,rubbish.food not up to much low quality,small menu.the young femail are a pain in the neck.the swiming poolis just a large paddling pool tips give this hotel a mis dont wast your money on it

Although nicely located right by a Sandy Beech, the amount of steps you have to take is a bit ridiculous after a few days going up and down. The restaurants are mainly self service and in our estimation wern’t that good. I got the impression that the food is prepared many many hours in advance and for instance the chicken was unbelievably dry. Most of the other food served on cold plates was cold so as a culinary experience it’s not somewhere I’d come back to.

This hotel is situated by the beach and has lovely views when dining. Palm trees provide the shade as there are no sun shades on the beach but plenty of sunbeds. The sea is rocky by the hotel and while we were there the sea was rough. A nearby beach is cleaner and calmer. The hotel has three restaurants all of which have to be booked, even the buffet. We only ate at Drifters, the buffet, we couldn’t get into Rachel’s when we tried and Chopsticks the Asian restaurant was very small and didn’t look appealing. The buffet food both at breakfast, lunch and in the evening was very poor. There was a lovely lady whose name was Anne, she cooked at breakfast and at lunch time. She cooked eggs, omlettes, pancakes etc at breakfast and burgers, hot dogs and pizzas and chips at lunch time, these were always good and she was always happy and smiling. The staff all worked hard, but some were not friendly and we found the two ladies who ran Drifters and Rachel’s to be very unfriendly and a smile sometimes might have been good. There was entertainment quite a few times and this was good. We would not return to this hotel, the buffet was the worst I have ever experienced and I have stayed at many hotels. The whole hotel needs renovating, in the rooms and outside, it is old, has lots of cracked tiles, it is not not in my opinion a four star hotel, and we will not be returning.

This was our second family holiday to Savannah Beach. It has gone down in quality since our last stay and being that this is the first time we had ever returned to a hotel, we had high expectations. We adore Barbados and took recent reviews with a pinch of salt- knowing that Savannah Beach hit the spot for our family. The hotel is beautiful looking - perfect location for walking out and catching buses and our large family room was great. I think Communal areas and bathrooms could do with a bit of a refresh. Our room was plagued by insects and the bathroom window didn’t shut. Breakfast in Rachel’s was always excellent and they had refurbished the buffet area up there which was refreshing. Downsides for us this time - some staff were off hand, others fabulous. The worst part was I guess with our summer being low season for Barbados was that all alternative eating venues were shut. If you wanted to dine at Rachel’s in the evening, you had to book in advance and were seated in the normal beachside buffet. Same for chopsticks. This was not ok! You had to specify times for eating for every meal and pre order anything for children. The saddest part and something we had enjoyed previously was no evening entertainment apart from one singer one night. Last time we enjoyed fire eaters and beach side Caribbean nights. Lunch BBQ was replaced by a grill hut and queues for this were crazy - it took a few days to work it all out. Drinks were great - ingredients were a bit haphazard ie, no mojitos or milkshakes for a few days but that’s a first world problem! Sundowners looking over the ocean cannot be beaten - the beach situation never bothered us as we like to go and explore and you can’t get better than Carlisle Bay for a near perfect beach day! Savannah Beach holds a special part in our hearts and we enjoyed our time back in beautiful Barbados but I’m not sure we’d return to this hotel. Our AI finished at lunchtime on checkout - and didn’t begin until a certain time on arrival so just be aware of that. Overall, a lovely holiday and good value for money.
