Paradise
Been home 3 weeks and not got round to review so here goes. It was our first time to barbados and REALLY didn't disappoint! We did a package with ba and they were brilliant, great food good seats (we had the twins at the back going over and premium coming back). Sugar bay was all i could ask for from check in to room and beach and most of all the staff they are a credit to sugar bay. We were able to have a walk to some bars along the beach which were lovely in the day and lively by night. I liked the fact it wasn't a bigger place like we have done before which meant we got to know some great friends and saw them a lot. We are not someone that revisit a place usually but would def break that rule for sugar bay.

Paradise Again
Just returned from our 2nd family trip to Sugar Bay and it did not disappoint. My wife and I went again with our two girls, 17 and 19 and it was just as enjoyable if not better. We had room number 327 which had a lovely balcony that overlooked the beach, it was cleaned everyday and always felt fresh whenever we came back from the beach. Staff were wonderful and it was great to see familiar faces, and to top it all off the food and drinks at all the restaurants were perfect for us. We’ll be back for sure

Fabulous Hotel
Third time at Sugar Bay and the hotel just keeps getting better. The hotel is fabulous and the staff are all outstanding. We stayed in room 134 (again - thanks for accommodating this request) and was excellent, recently renovated and absolutely no issues at all. As soon as we arrived we were offered a nice cold drink and swiftly shown to our room. We stayed for 7 nights and could book 2 visits to the speciality restaurants “Sumi” and “Sizzle both were excellent - you could pay a small charge to upgrade your meal. The beach is superb, soft white sand and you can walk along the boardwalk. The sea is shallow, warm and protected from the waves - i do think the beach staff could possibly rake the beach area first thing in the morning to make it that bit more perfect. The entertainment was very good - starting 7.30 until 10pm. The “Reef” buffet restaurant was excellent both at lunch time and evening meal. The lazy mongoose pub opened at around 9pm and there’s a pool table, dart board and a large TV - you do need to get in early if you want a seat though. The Beach bar was also very good and the staff worked tirelessly to provide a very good service. Colin’s bar and restaurant was also great for lunch and a nice cold beer. The pool is not very deep and not really big enough for dedicated swimmers wanting to do lengths - however very nice for a cooling dip and the sun loungers are very comfy and relaxing. There is also large library by the concierge desk. Afternoon tea and sandwiches were available at 3pm at the “Driftwood Cafe”. There is a fridge in the room but you only get 2 bottles of water - water can be collected at reception. Don’t hesitate to book this hotel you won’t be disappointed. Already booked for 11 nights next year.

Dec 20, 2025Sheltered sea area with good snorkelling
Enjoyed our stay and staff very attentive. Impressed with the food and pleased that the buffet is protected from outdoors with automatic doors. Room design was not the best but it was clean, think we were just unlucky with the one given as others were fine. Favourite aspect of this hotel was the sheltered sea area to allow calm bathing in shallow warm waters. Reservation happening but always able to obtain a bed. Didn’t use the pool, it looked nice with comfy sunbeds & lots of toy floats for children. Very grateful for the complimentary late check out room. Although shared there is privacy for shower / changing. Use of hair dryer. Spa treatment was excellent and very professional. On site shop but sadly overpriced. Easy to arrange a reliable taxi with staff. Very tasteful decor throughout the hotel. Beautiful Christmas decorations !
