This hotel is the nicest hotel ever made and yes the people who have complained must be idiots and did not see the fun side of Barbados I have just came off holiday from there and Donna the rep was very lovely and we are planning to come back soon I only had 1 bad meal but the rest was brill! We went on the boat and swam with the turtles it was the time off my life loved it lots thank you bar staff cleaners could right more but lie stop, thanks Donna xxxx love the mccue's xoxo

what can we say !!!!!! the first holiday my wife and i have had on our own for 21 years ...............where do i start food was lovely all the staff very nice nothing too much trouble , the people staying on our 10 night trip where all very nice which helps ! room was great we had a meal at chopstix which was great ! we didnt go on any trips we just chilled for 10 nights the only decision every day was wether to go to the beach or the pool and what to have to drink ! we see a lovely couple get married on the beach which was nice , my only negative was we didnt stay for longer . A fantastic holiday fantastic staff .

We came down out of the great white north to experience the outstanding Barbados climate. Our group chose this as our all inclusive for this trip. Nice sprawling complex from the roadway all the way down to the beach. Our room was in the lower part of the complex allowing us quick acces to the beach and drifters. Others in our group were in the main area above the lobby. These were older rooms but still ok. The buffet at drifters was great we enjoyed it more than the sit down at Rachels. I am not sure about chop stir it appeared that no one was there. The bar staff along with all the other staff was very helpful and pleasant. The pool on the other hand needs some work filtration seems to be an issue. They need to make the winding pool into a lazy river with its beautiful vegetation. There really is only one bar most of the day located at Drifters. The clientele sure like it quiet. If you are looking for rocking nightlife or even music at the bar area this isn't the place but if you are looking for quiet and relaxing this is it.

My partner and I spent 10 days at the Savannah Beach from 8th of January. We stayed in The Plantation house and just adored it, high ceilings, shuttered windows, wood floors and wonderfullly light and airy, full of charm and history ( this is the oldest hotel on the Island ). We had a look at the other rooms in the newer building and they were lovely too but more executive/modern style. The staff are all friendly, helpful and courteous and we thought the food was amazing both at Rachels restaurant and buffet style at drifters, compliments to the chef and all the kitchen staff. I loved the birds flying around as I was having breakfast.. How could you not?
There isn't a bad beach in Barbados if one isn't to your liking then just walk five minutes either direction they are all public, just the beds belong to the hotels not the sea and the sand!
Oistins on Friday night is fun but busy for tables to eat so get there early ( we had to wait about 1 hour to be served )
We loved the virgin ahoy catamaran trip once again great staff and food aboard and we swam with turtles and snorkelled. We booked this with Donna the rep who was efficient and available and friendly.
We took a walk to the race track and the staff were welcoming at the trainers stables and allowed us to walk around the yard and meet the race horses, goats, sheep and kittens.
We can recommend the Barbados museum by the race track and the garrison area in general as it's a unesco world heritage site.
We travelled every where by bus or foot, the buses are frequent and only 1 US dollar each and play great music.
We also went horse riding at Ocean echo stables and had a wonderful time even though my partner has never riden a horse before, the horses were well cared for and obviously loved.
All in all we had the perfect holiday and I would definitely go back to the Savannah beach as I felt it was a home from home. All the staff should be congratulated a big hug to the adorable Susan and hopefully we will see you again. Many thanks Ruth and Nick
