Most frequent positive reviews about Savannah Beach Hotel

• The Staff are exceptional.  They are extremely helpful and work very hard to make sure you have all you require.
• The Food is very good, of a high standard, and something for every taste.  There are three restaurants to chose from:  Rachel’s,  serving  a la carte, Chopstix Noodle Bar,   serving Asian cuisine, and,  the Drifters Beach Bar,  having buffet options.  You may even get to experience the dancing Chef,  Zac.
• The Rooms are spacious and clean.  The beds are very comfortable.
• Entertainment is enjoyable.
• The Kids Club is good.  There is a lot for the young ones to do.
• It is a nice walk along the beach and onto the boardwalk.
• The grounds are well maintained.
•  Central Location.  There is a bus stop right out side of the hotel.  The buses are frequent and cheap,  making it easy to travel.
• It is right across from the local Horse Racing Track,  which is great fun.
• Overall good value for the money.

Most frequent negative reviews about Savannah Beach Hotel

• The Beach is small.  Swimming shoes is a must due to coral on the ocean floor.  Walk either left,  or  right,  and,  you will find an easier access for swimming.
• Seaweed can be a problem which creates a foul smell.
• The pool area is small,  the depth of the pool is 3′ 6″.   It can get a little cramped if the hotel is fully occupied.  Sun beds become limited.
• The pool tiles and surrounding  area can get very slippery when wet.
• Some of the guest rooms,  including the bathrooms,  are a bit tired.   They could use a makeover.
• There are a lot of stairs around the hotel,  probably not great for people with mobility difficulties.
• Not truly all inclusive, (mini bar not stocked, no sodas or water in frig.), etc.,  unless you pay extra to upgrade to a Club Members Package.
• Gym is small and old.  Installations are not great.

Other considerations

• Some plantation rooms face or are near a busy and noisy road.
• The location is somewhat isolated, it is not walking distance to any restaurants or nightlife.
• The Club Members Package is highly recommended by many guests.
• A destination wedding can be planned at the Savannah Beach Hotel.  A wedding coordinator can plan every  detail.
• The Honeymoon Suite is 2 floors and worth the upgrade for many guests.
• Sargassum seaweed is a natural phenomena affecting the entire island and the Eastern Caribbean. Barbados in particular has been experiencing it the last 3 years.  This year has proven to be the worst on record.  The staff work diligently,  even using mechanical labor,  to remove it.  Some days are worse than others.
• The staff will run you up to a different beach free of charge.
• The Savannah Beach Hotel is one of the oldest on the island.  It is described by many guests as small, quant, and charming.  Many guests think by being small,  it is easy to meet other guests,  which adds to your holiday experience.
• Honeymoon suite is 2 floors and worth the upgrade for many guests.
