If your idea of the perfect Caribbean vacation includes panoramic views, exquisite beaches and a world-class spa at an eco-friendly resort, then pack up your bamboo-soled flip-flops and head to Sugar Bay Resort and Spa. Perched on a mountainside, this all inclusive resort offers incredible views of St. John and the British Virgin Islands from almost every window.

"If you are used to the all inclusives with all the activities and entertainment this will fall short of that. I expected a bit more for the price however it was a nice stay. Fantastic views" – OCCaribTraveler

Disappointed return customer
My husband and I had visited Wyndham Sugar Bay two years ago and had a great experience. We did not realize when we decided to return this year that Sugar Bay is no longer a Wyndham resort. We were very disappointed and could tell that the standards of Wyndham no longer applied. Many corners are being cut. Dirty restrooms in lobby, hotel staff not as accommodating, rooms are getting worn and run down looking, etc. We do not plan to return to Sugar Bay after this trip.
We arrived at Sugar Bay on New Years Day (the morning after I proposed to my beautiful fiance) to find they had no A/C in the entire resort and a few amenities were not available due to maintenance. The staff at the resort and Cheapcaribbean.com were both very apologetic and made sure that despite the issues we had that we were made happy. The pools and beach were amazing and spotlessly clean. The views are unbelievable and very calming. We were slightly disappointed in the selection and cost of food, but you'll find that at any resort you visit. We decided not to get the all-inclusive plan since neither my fiance or I drink and my fiance is on a Gluten free diet. We however realized all-inclusive is the way to go no matter what. Cabs we're convenient and quickly arrived when requested. Being located near Coki beach and the ferry (very affordable and worth the trip) made it easy to take a couple day trips and not break the bank. The snorkeling on the resort was just as nice as the world famous Coki beach and much less crowded. Kayaking was nice, but you had to stay within the view of the attendant so you can't really tour the coast line like we were hoping. We received a couple's massage at the spa and were blown away by the atmosphere and customer service. Also the gym there was far greater than most resorts so you can actually get in a decent workout if you're into that kind of thing on vacation.
All in all we enjoyed our stay despite a few issues,which were made up for by the great staff at the resort and CheapCaribbean.com...

Sugar Bay has pros and cons
Pros: Nice friendly staff that went the extra mile like upgrading our room because a king bed was not available and a housekeeper put flowers from an event in our room. Good views, large rooms, and close proximity to Red Hook and the ferry. Rum punch on arrival was a nice touch. Breakfast at the Manor House was pretty good.
Cons: Rooms were not spotless and at times it felt like the staff didn't know what was going on. It was the little things they didn't get right like there was no answer when we called for a wake up call, the putt putt was closed, small roaches were in the bathroom. Entertainment was amateurous and seemingly unorganized. Hotel is far from the airport. Food at one restaurant was just bad.
had a great time very nice view! we did not do the all inclusive and didnt have a lot of options for food . food was expensive. suggest doing all inclusive

Best off shore snorkeling?8 answers
I'm looking for some ideas of the best destination and corresponding hotels that offer off shore snorkeling. And the destination must have direct flights from the NYC area hotels.

Some great destinations for snorkeling with non-stop flights from the New York are Grand Cayman, Barbados, and St. Lucia. Most hotels include non-motorized water sports with your reservation but you'll want to double check under the resort's amenities.

St Thomas has multiple options for snorkeling.

Small beach/reef but the snorkel gear is included

The Sugar bay Resort in St. Thomas is your answer to off shore snorkling. St. John is only a 15 minute ferry ride and the ferry is close to the resort so be sure to get over to St. John and experience some great off shore snorkling there as well.

There was snorkking off the hotel beach if you don't want to go far and folks seemed leased with the variety there. There scuba training there too.

Pay the extra money and stay at the Ritz Carlton...really close too the Sugar Bay resort. Take a ferry too St.John(20 minutes across the way) the best snorkling is off this island!
Valentino
St Thomas/Sugar Bay has snorkeling equipment on-site. Sugar Bay has a man-made beach that is very small, rocky and unimpressive. There are many boat trip options, including excurion to St John for the day that offers fabulous snorkeling.
YankeeFan1
Sugar Bay resort had a great off shore sailing option for $120/pp which is an all day trip that includes breakfast, lunch and drinks. Also Coki beach is just a $5 cab ride away. Jet Blue now had direct flights to St Thomas

Hotel Description
Sugar Bay Resort and Spa: USVI Family- Friendly Fun and a Fabulous Spa
If your idea of the perfect Caribbean vacation includes panoramic views, exquisite beaches and a world-class spa at an eco-friendly resort, then pack up your bamboo-soled flip-flops and head to Sugar Bay Resort and Spa. Perched on a mountainside, this resort offers incredible views of St. John and the British Virgin Islands from almost every window.
Sugar Bay Resort offers activities for every interest and energy level. Guests can stretch out on the pure white sands of the secluded beach, and the kids are going to love the three interconnecting freshwater pools (complete with waterfall and grotto), but why not challenge them with a little snorkeling or an afternoon kayaking. If you want to indulge in a little pampering, spring for a couples' massage at the award-winning Journeys Spa. The Kids Klub offers a terrific option for the youngsters during their sessions. If you time it right, they can see the daily iguana feedings!
After a busy afternoon, relax pool side with a glass of wine and a fresh fruit skewer while you decide whether you want to sample the jerk chicken at Pimentos or if it's going to be an elegant dinner at Ristorante Baci for Nouvelle Italian. Just remember to pack your resort elegant clothes! For a more casual night, head to the sports bar for a taste of home as you catch the lates sports.
If you've always dreamed of a tropic wedding, this is the resort for you. The resort's wedding department helps arrange intimate beach ceremonies and more formal events on the spectacular St. John's Terrace, a rooftop gazebo with amazing views of nearby islands and endless sky. Invite the world to your nuptials, since this is a family-friendly resort. After the festivities, Sugar Bay is ready to make your honeymoon equally memorable.
After all a full day, you'll be pleased to retreat to the comfort of an elegant, 475-sq-ft Ocean View Room with its panoramic view and upscale perks. Families appreciate the two bed option and love the Balinese-style furnishings.
Three restaurants and three lounges cater to a variety of tastes, from traditional Caribbean fare to casual bistro dining. For golf enthusiasts, nearby Mahogany Run Golf Course offers 18 of the most beautiful holes in the Caribbean, while younger guests enjoy the resort's Kids Club offering a wide range of supervised activities. Other diversions include eco-tours, day trips to neighboring islands and renowned shopping in Charlotte Amalie.
