Jan 20, 2025Simply the best
This hotel is next level. Absolutely beautiful. Fantastic staff, Helen, Joan, Antonio, Pedro to name a few but everyone was amazing I just didn’t get all the names. 20 minutes from the airport. Every restaurant was fantastic. All areas spotlessly clean. The room was huge and very comfortable. We will be back same time next year

Jan 19, 2025Awesome beach and most staff, just too many irritants
Our fourth visit to Sugar Bay in 8 years... and I think our last. Its the same awesome well kept beach, location and most of the staff, and the food mostly has improved too, aside from breakfast that can be low on quality healthy options. But just too many irritants that could be so easily be done better, come on guys! I appreciate that the corridors are narrow around the hotel and options may be limited, but I've never stayed anywhere where the room cleaners stack up bin bags, laundry and mop buckets outside every other room, through the whole day. Especially when this is a resort hotel, where most guests are on site all day every day. Since our first visit, every morning is a bun fight for a beach umbrella, having to go before breakfast and request a hole to be dug in the beach to install one, or risk not getting one. There is also still a one in one out rationing of beach towels, so needlessly awkward. Its an all inclusive hotel, but without a mechanism to pay bring guests in. Nobody can join you for dinner from outside or even for a drink on the beach, pretty short sighted and easy to implement. We just got told firmly 'no'. The rooms and bathrooms haven't received any update in the 8 years that we've been visiting, and many of them are starting to look decidedly tired. My biggest gripe from this trip though was the bar service and the constantly being pressurised to drink alcohol. Ask for a coke or water in the evening and being ridiculed is really not cool, and forced shots and drinking games? This isn't an 18-30. Thanks for the amazing staff though! Especially Kay, what a legend.

Jan 18, 2025Great place !
Staff superb and very helpful ! Room excellent . Clean and comfortable. Lovely bathroom. Buffet good too but Umi and Sizzle Steak restaurants very good - you get both included in a weeks stay . Beach great and lots of sunbeds . Pool looked good but we didn’t actually use it . Location very good - close to the Garrison historical area if you like to do more than lying on sunbeds ! Also bus stop outside the hotel - frequent ‘Reggae’ minibuses to Bridgetown and Oistins ( loud music and usually packed but fun !) Also local buses ( yellow and blue ) going to Holetown and Speightstown q regularly . Horse racing track just up the road and can watch the races when on . We really enjoyed and would recommend this lovely hotel !

Only book this hotel if you want the most relaxing holiday of your life.
This has got to be the best hotel on the island. The staff are incredible, always smiling, going that extra mile to make your stay the best. The food is amazing with lots of variety on the buffet. The two restaurants are fabulous and Collins makes a change for lunch. Lots to do for both adults and children. The bar is a very friendly area where friendships are made that last for years. The entertainment of an evening varies with some incredible singers. It’s well worth a visit to the spa, so many treatments to choose from. This was our fifth visit and it won’t be our last, most of the guests are returnees or future returnees. You relax the moment you arrive and don’t want to leave. I love Sugar Bay and so will you.
