Beach was sandy and quite wide but be warned very rocky need beach shoes to enter water.

Provision of another beach which hotel provides comp shuttle too four times a week.

We have just spent a wonderful week at the Savannah Beach hotel, and enjoyed everything about it. It isn't an overly big hotel so it has the intimate feel of a family run hotel rather than a corporate chain. I enjoyed it much more than Sandals in Jamaica where we went last year. The multi-level grounds are beautifully landscaped with trees and palms, encouraging birdlife, look out for the little Yellow Breast birds. There's a free form pool with swim up bar and a river-like pool that snakes round the grounds with little bridges to walk over (pool towels are provided in the room).

Our spacious room had a huge king sized bed, plenty of drawers and hanging space for your clothes, aircon and ceiling fan (it was less fierce to just have the fan on and turn the aircon off at night) wall mounted flat screen tv and large bathroom. I always wonder what is and isn't provided for packing purposes so here goes:- mini hair shampoo and body moisturiser is provided and a body wash dispenser on the wall above the bath. Other extras such as tissues and shower cap were also provided. There was a plug-in hair-drier in the bedroom as well as a fixed wall mounted hair-drier in the bathroom. Our room (351) didn't just have a balcony, it had a huge verandah with cane sofa and footstool.

The beach is just at the end of the garden through a white picket fence. Natural shade is provided from the trees, we actually saw a monkey in the tree canopy one day. The sea at this point does have quite a lot of stones which does make it a little uncomfortable underfoot, but didn't stop us going in to cool off. I agree with a previous reviewer that the hotel could invest in building breakwaters to enable a better area for swimming (unless its not geologically possible) . All the beaches are public on Barbados and either side of the hotel you can walk for miles along near-deserted beaches. You can walk one way for about a mile along a newly built boardwalk. We also walked to the beach on Carlisle Bay which has perfect fine sand and calm waters to swim in.To get there it took us about 20 minutes walk along the beach then a shortcut through the grounds of the Hilton Hotel which is the next hotel along the beach (approx half a mile away). The Savannah Beach offers a free courtesy bus 4 days a week which also takes you to Carlisle Bay, this gives you the use of the Copacabana beach bar with sunbeds, parasols and your all-inclusive drinks! We got the hotel to provide packed lunches (no extra charge) on our days out to Carlisle Bay. This area of Carlisle Bay does get a little busy when the cruise ships are in port. We also walked back to the hotel from the Copacobana which took about 40 minutes but you have to wade in the sea under the Yacht Club Pier, which was fun! Another day we took the public bus to Bridgetown, each way just US$1 or Barbados $2.

Three hotel restaurants to take your pick. Drifters situated almost on the beach provided Bajan style dishes on the buffet. It was like attending an upmarket bbq. There was always an exciting chicken, meat and fish dish as well as assorted salads and huge trifles. (They also do burgers, hotdogs and chips if that's really what you want). The cocktails were excellent here too, and handy to grab a drink for the beach. We ate twice in Rachels (reservation required) where they had waiter service, a great a la carte menu (everything was all inclusive except one item which carried a supplement). The food was beautifully presented. Our last night was spent at Chopstix the contemporary sushi restaurant, serving noodle dishes and katsu chicken as well as sushi. Breakfast is also served at Rachels, a great choice of hot and cold foods and a chef making cook to order omelettes and eggs as you like them. Look out for the naughty blackbirds that fly into the breakfast room and if you're not careful will steal from the milk jug, we found them quite entertaining!

In the evening they had really good quality singers, no crappy animation team at this hotel! The sound carried to the room at night as they're not sound-proofed. We had quite early nights because of the time difference but the music didn't go on too late so we weren't troubled by it.

The staff were fantastic. On arrival I had trouble setting the safe in my room, a security guy appeared within minutes of my call to reception and immediately rectified the problem. All the staff were cheerful and attentive. And the Virgin rep Donna is a lovely lady with a visible presence on most days if you needed her.

We only had one week in Barbados and next time I'd consider getting a hire car to explore more of the island. I've tried to think of everything in this review - you will just have to go there yourself to appreciate it! If you are looking on here because you are considering a hotel on Barbados, unless you have mobility issues (as there are a lot of steps) I think most people would love the Savannah Beach.

This was our third visit to the island but our first stay at the Savannah. As usual hereabouts we loved the warm friendly staff above all, and the food in Rachels was well presented and good quality. The beach was quiet and sun beds easy to get. In our view this place is well on its way to becoming a popular resort and is certainly very good value on an expensive island. Donna, the Virgin Holidays rep is really lovely and we rented a car for two days through her. Plenty to see in Barbados so three days would have been better. The bathsheba area on the east coast is a must if you want to see unspoilt Caribbean beauty.

We stayed at this hotel for ten days in October, booking it at a days notice following the loss of a long planned trip of a lifetime elsewhere that fell through. The staff in this hotel are excellent and so attentive. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they show you what a wonderful safe and frieindly country this is.The bus to the beach is convenient, but it would be even more perfect if they could just make the beach here swimmable, as other hotels along the coast have. We spent three days with a hire car exploring the island, following the staff recomendations and met the real friednly Bajans at Oistins for the fish fry. So many people and so much fun. We spent several days diving with Rogers Dive Shack just along from the hotel. They were great fun and so helpful- best dive experiences for a long time. Again, great staff and nothing too much trouble. In short, Barbados is a great place to visit and the people do their country proud on all counts. Well done Savannah and Rogers and hope to see you all again soon
