Apr 15, 2025A fantastic hotel!
This hotel is absolutely fantastic! The staff are incredible and make it great. The food is amazing, the rooms clean and comfortable, the beach is lovely and the evening entertainment fabulous. Best steaks at Sizzle too. It’s not a large resort but it’s perfect and I hope we’ll return.

Surprisingly wonderful all-inclusive to someone who never stays at any!!
The location on the beach was exceptional. The staff are top notch! Shout out to David at ❤️the bar!!! He has the BEST personality and makes incredible drinks. Natalie at the front desk, professional, warm and friendly. The beach staff, too many to mention, were amazing! There’s nothing they wouldn’t do for us! The food!!!! The best all-inclusive food I’ve ever had, and I’m NOT a fan of all-inclusive. The menu was different every day. Food was fresh, plenty of options for all dietary needs, you won’t go hungry or thirsty. The only thing they could improve upon to make it stellar would be a complete facelift of the buildings. They are very dated and unappealing to look at because once you are inside it’s a completely different place. Even fresh paint would spruce it up. Couple of housekeeping snafoos like leaving only ONE towel when there are TWO guests in the room? That’s a head scratcher. But all in all, bravo SugarBay!!!!! We had a WONDERFUL time!

Sugar Bay in Paradise
I have been lucky enough to have been to Sugar Bay twice and I would not hesitate to go again. The Staff are wonderful people, the rooms are gorgeous, the food to die for and the resort is paradise. We first went in May 2023 just myself and my husband with another couple we are friends with. When it came to choose a destination in 2024, there was only one place we wanted to go…Sugarbay. This time with 2 of our sons and we were not disappointed, if anything it had improved even. In September we had turtles laying eggs on the beach and hatching babies nightly, in May we had monkeys outside our room daily. The island is beautiful, vibrant and so chill. I’ve never had a more relaxing holiday and 14 days felt like 14 days on island time. I can’t recommend this beautiful place enough. We had Katamarran trips, Submarine trips, stunning cave trips. So much to do, or not as you wish. Sugarbay and Barbados have a big piece of my heart and I will certainly go back again for sure xxx

Barbadian hospitality
Just about to leave after 14 glorious days. On arriving initially I wasn’t blown away (had to wait 2 hours for room to be ready and view wasn’t the best - 238). Once we’d unpacked and got our bearings, started to like it a lot better. The room turned out to be a blessing as it was always cool. Hotel is very clean, staff constantly brushing/mopping all communal areas. Found food in the reef restaurant good (felt lunchtime was better). Lots of salad choices but not so much in the evening. Bit hit and miss with finding plates, bowls but once asked the staff bring them ight away. Special shout out to Kyra who looked after us wonderfully. Sizzle and Umi restaurants very good. Afternoon tea was also lovely. Beach guys did a great job cleaning the beach and setting up the umbrellas each morning for you. Entertainment was good, best being steel music on a Sunday afternoon and then Virgo in the evening. All the staff are amazing, can’t do enough for you. Never stayed anywhere were you get a hug from the lady cleaning reception area (sorry I couldn’t remember her name). We were celebrating our silver wedding anniversary and ate at The Tides and Champs - hotel arranged taxis for us. There were quite a lot of children of all ages.

Happy friendly staff
We wasn't happy with our allocated room as it had a very small balcony, had very small hanging area and no chest of draw for clothes, also it was right above reception. After finally agreeing to pay for an upgrade on day 3 we eventually got to unpack and enjoy our holiday. The staff at Sugar Bay are amazing and I know its been mentioned in other reviews but they really do make you feel so welcome and can't do enough for you. Kelly-Ann is definitely the hostess with the mostest and goes that extra mile (thanks for our special dessert and birthday bubbly) While in the restaurant Kathy-Ann also deserves a mention along with Justin who has to be the best waiter there. The Reef buffet is small compared to other hotels we've stayed at. However, there was a good variety of food, the shrimp, fish, bbq chicken was really nice, the lamb ribs where amazing and was the best I've ever tasted. The salad bar was good and coleslaw sweet and yummy. I had read that breakfast was repetitive, not sure how you change that to be honest. You had the normal choices, cooked ie bacon, sausages etc, eggs anyway you wanted them, toast, pancakes & waffles, cold meats & cheese, fresh fruit, yogurt, cakes etc...We never used the other two restaurants as we were happy with the buffet but heard they were very good. The beach & sea had a lot of seaweed the first week but none on the second week, it's a problem throughout the Caribbean and the staff do their best to keep the beach clean. Other reviews always mention that the sunbeds are stained, this is true around the pool but they do put extra towels out on them for you. However, we spent most of the time on the beach and those were fine and the guys are quick to come and put a parasol and we never had a problem getting a sunbed even after 10.30. So the question is, would we recommend or go back and the simple answer is yes!! But we would booked a seaview room.
