This quaint little guest house is the ideal place to rest your weary bones in Lethem, Guyana. Lethem is now the gateway into Brazil from Guyana and is rapidly growing to be a little town with lots of duty free shopping and facilities. A night in the Savannah Inn will be a cozy and comfortable experience. The room is quaint and everything you need will be there - a comfortable bed with mosquito net, nice shower and bathroom, air-conditioning and satellite TV, a mini-fridge etc. The staff are polite and helpful and the owners Alfredo and his wife, who have a nice and well-stocked general store next door, are a delightful and well-travelled couple. I strongly recommend you to try this affordable little home from home!

Lethem is a town of just 2,500 deep in the wilds of Guyana. The Savannah Inn offers decent comfort in a difficult place. Highlights were definitely the meals, cooked by Shawn and his crew. And that the Savannah Inn is the destination for any VIPs who pass through Lethem. We had breakfast one morning with the president's men, which was intriguing.

The lowlight for me was that the room, particularly the shower, didn't seem clean. Still, it had A/C, which is rare in this neck of the woods. Internet wasn't working, which was disappointing in the extreme. We had to walk down the street to Takatu Inn, where we had to pay an hourly fee. Shawn also had an affection for music, which he liked to blast from a large amplifier to "entertain the guests," which was less than entertaining for me when I was trying to nap mid-afternoon after a sleepless 3-day journey to get there.

Still, I would say the Savannah Inn is the best you're going to do in Lethem (Takatu Inn looked decent as well), and owners Alfred and Linda are extremely nice, as is Shawn and his crew.
