I don't think there is anything that hasn't been said before about this super hotel. We arrived back in September and from the moment we checked in to the moment we said goodbye we could not have wished for anything more. We loved every second of our stay (except the pigeons :) ). Check in / out: Seamless. The boys and girls on reception were super helpful and couldn't do enough to help / guide and advise. The room: The room was an ocean front room and it was wonderful. Spacious, massive bed and a great bathroom. Great air con too. The patio area was comfortable and 5 strides from the glorious beach. Kimberly kept our room spotless and was the friendliest person I have ever met. The food: Wonderful. Unlike any AI I have been to before. Not a million things to pile on your plate but instead, quality products that were perfectly cooked and not a chip in sight! Breath of fresh air! Everything was fresh and high quality. The guys and girls looking after you in there are second to none, all smiles and very attentive without been "in your face". Both specialist restaurants were also just fabulous. Umi - big portions, wonderfully cooked and beautifully presented. Sizzle - the BEST steak I think I have every had. Cooked to absolute perfection, no fat / veins running through it, just perfect served with a lovely salad . Warm in the restaurant but didn't detract from the food. So full without a starter or a pud :) We went to this one twice, no reflection on Umi just a timing thing. For clarity as I have seen a lot of people asking on the Facebook group - 10 nights = 3 restaurant "tickets" The pool: Be prepared to melt, with it been well away from the beach the breeze was none existent - perfect for me but if you are not a sun worshiper go to the beach :) Small pool but perfect just for a quick cool off. Sun loungers round the pool are super comfortable too - so if you are a sunbed snoozer don't forget your sun cream :) The Beach - just glorious. Where I spent most of my days. Nice breeze, quiet, sea like stepping into a hot tub. Perfect and only a quick walk to the bar - bonus!! The main bar: The guys and girls on the bar were mostly all smiles and did cocktails that were fabulous. Mudslide was my favourite. Collins - we only went once as we camped out at the other end of the beach - didn't eat just a beer. Preferred the main bar. Gym: machines outdated but for a quick "damage limitation" session (see mudslide comment above :):):) it did the job. Overall a friendly, welcoming place where you were in the most greeted with a smile and a wave. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend SB. Thank you team Sugar Bay for an experience we will never forget

Paradise and so much more.
Just a few days back home and already longing for the magic of Sugar Bay. From the moment we arrived, every smile, every gesture, every moment made our stay unforgettable. The entire team is a credit to the resort and to the Island, too many incredible people to name, each one leaving a lasting impression and elevating the experience beyond expectation. Still, a few stars 🌟 shone especially bright: David, Lee, Nicolas, Helen, Andre, Andrea (Omlettes) and Latina, your energy, kindness, and dedication made all the difference. 🙏🏼 Thank you for the memories. Until next time… 🌴✨

Amazing 25th wedding anniversary 10/10❤️🥰🇯🇲
For our 25th wedding anniversary, we decided to shoot big, and get out of our comfort zone and leave the US. Our stay was outstanding! As soon as we arrived we were greeted with smiles, rum punch and the sweetest people. The buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner never disappointed. With a different theme everyday there's something for everyone and plentyyy to choose from. And for those people who complain about it, I'm convinced they're the people who nothing will make them happy and complain just for the sake of it. One of our servers, Breanna was such a sweetheart, i know shes going to do great things! Keep that smile girl🥰, it works well on you! The rooms were clean, comfortable and air conditioned. Shamara, Germaine, and Kimberly were always around keeping things spotless, with smiles on their faces everyday, they were so pleasant and welcoming, and Kimberly is the cutest ball of fun! The staff were amazing and the bartenders were on point. Joan, Helen and Lee are super sweet, fun to talk to and whip up some banging drinks, anything you can possibly think of and a few you'd never think of! Try Joan's Bounty 😉. But we have to give extra extra props to Akiel. Not only was he on point, friendly, out going, would show up on the beach with our favorite drinks without even asking, AND also makes some amazing drinks, but he went ABOVE and BEYOND for us on multiple!!!! occasions!!!! on his days off none the less. We cant even express our extreeme gratitude. Sugarbay is lucky to have him! We're looking forward and cant wait to go back!

Oct 19, 2025Very good
Spent a week earlier in October at the Sugar Bay with partner on an all-inclusive basis. The hotel is quite compact, not a sprawling affair and everything happens around a central reception area. The buildings are set back from the main road and there is no intrusive noise from the surroundings. Our double room was clean and comfortable with maid service regular in the morning although replacement of bathroom towels could take place at any time later in the day. There is plenty of choice at breakfast, lunch and dinner with consideration of dietary requirements, however waiter service for drinks and table clearing could be a bit better. The bars are well staffed and offer plenty of choice. Families and children are accommodated well. Anyone who has been to an all-inclusive hotel in the Caribbean will recognise what is on offer here, perfectly satisfactory but not a stand out either.

If you're coeliac, gluten free. Great place
Just had a fabulous 10 nights at Sugar Bay. The food is great. Who doesn't appreciate eating whilst overlooking the ocean. They catered extremely well for hubby who is coeliac. The drinks are incredible, you have to try the mud slides ( it's a drink not an activity) Spend time at the pool bar making new friends. The pool area is cleaned daily, and there's a nice touch of pool towels on sunbeds. Towels are also provided for the beach and can be changed daily. What makes this place stand out is the staff. Nothing is too much trouble and are all friendly.
