Really beautiful views
We just returned last week from an 11 night stay in Sugar Bay. First time in the Caribbean and apart from the jet lag we had a lovely time. The food is very good at all times especially the Sizzle if you get a chance to visit. All the staff are really friendly especially the guys on the beach. Must say the check in process felt really stressful as you expected to fill out a bunch of forms, pay a security deposit and we were also asked to email our holiday confirmation all in the space of few minutes whilst also asked to absorb the info they are telling you... I think it be better if they could just check you in and all the other stuff could be done later especially when people are tired after the long travelling. The bar staff and cocktails are really good but could do with proper menus as often when you are asked what would you like to drink you don't know what to choose from. The entertainment is good but repeated weekly so when you are there longer than a week can be boring. Rotating them bi weekly would solve this. We did a few trips and most of these can be booked in the hotel which is recommended as you get a shuttle service with them saving on taxi or bus with no extra charge. The best trip I recommend is the jeep safari for 5.5 hours as you get to see quite a lot of the island and the guides are hilarious but informative, very good fun! We upgraded to a sea view room and to be honest the views well worth the effort. Don't quite get having the sink outside the bathroom? but not a major issue. Shower was the only thing letting the room down. Apart from that spacious comfortable room with air con and the mosquito repellent was a good touch. We had no issues with seaweed up until our last day but even that was cleaned up efficiently. Couple of annoyances there are a number of of birds which in itself isn't an issue but around the pool area this sometimes creates a mess so walking around barefoot not the nicest also there is no footwash before stepping in the pool. The pool isn't very deep and have multiple steps inside which can be annoying. These are all little issues that can be easily improved to make it feel like an all star holiday. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend. I have seen some of the other hotels that I've considered booking and I'm really glad we picked Sugar Bay.

First holiday in Barbados
Bristol, United Kingdom
For an all inclusive Hotel the Sugar Bay was very good. Our room, although small and a little in need of a lick of paint it was overlooking the ocean and comfortable. Plenty of hanging space and shelving with tea making equipment and fridge. A safe for valuables. Little touches like an insect repellant machine, iron/ ironing board and hairdryer made it more comfortable. The food was excellent and both the restaurants that you have to book into were first class. The steak we had at Sizzles was one the best we have had. Entertainment every evening made the stay more pleasurable. All the staff in the restaurant and the bars especially those on the beach were really friendly and helpful. Some of the reception area staff need to be a little more friendly(for instance our welcome whist efficient was somewhat cool and not the warm and friendly first impression we would of liked.) The gentleman handing out the rum punch was a marked contrast being very friendly. Plenty of beach towels available and can change any time. The beach was lovely although the sea was a bit rocky underfoot but did not deter a swim in the warm lagoon. Another nice touch on the beach was a very helpful umbrella staff and waiters from the bars offering drinks and then handing out cold flannels in the afternoon. Overall we had a great holiday, felt very safe with all the security staff and we will hopefully return one day soon. We highly recommend it.

Outstanding and Fabulous !!
Mansfield, United Kingdom
My husband and I went for 2 weeks on the 30th April. I emailed the hotel ahead of our holiday to request a pool view room and we were allocated this on the 2nd floor.
Check in was swift and we were welcomed with a Rum Punch which was well received by us on arrival. We were shown to our room which was exceptionally spacious with a large bathroom. The kingsize bed was so comfy and the aircon worked very well indeed. Plenty of wardrobe space for all our clothes and an inroom safe. The bathroom did have a hairdryer aswell which wasn't one of the rubbish ones that are attached to the wall. It was just like you have at home. I only used this on the day we flew home, it was just too hot to be bothered about making my hair look fab at night. I just washed and went !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as did most women......
The restaurants were great, not a large buffet selection in the main Reef restaurant but ample and this was great. There was a roast meat on every night.
There are two speciality restaurants, Sizzle which is a steak house and Umi which is Japanese. If you are on holiday for 2 weeks you can visit each twice, you book with concierge. We didn't like Umi but that's just us. We loved Sizzle, the steaks were amazing and the restaurant lovely too.
Colin's is a beach shack at the end of the beach serving snacks at lunch time. I had the grilled Tuna more than once, this was amazing.......as was the bbq lamb chops....
Waiter service takes place on the beach all day. The guys work so hard making sure we enjoy ourselves. They also bring you a frozen jelly shot late afternoon and a cold flannel which are a lovely touch.
There aren't any fixed parasols on the beach, you just put your sunlounger where you want it and the watersports buys come and bring you a parasol which they insert in the sand for you. A big shout out to Taurean, such a lovely guy and made our days on the beach great !!!
All the staff are so attentive, they always say hello with a smile, they are a true credit to Sugar Bay. A lot of people we spoke to were of the same opinion and most have visited this hotel more than once purely for this reason. The staff go along way to making this hotel what it is and I certainly feel they made our holiday.
I would 100% recommend this hotel and we plan to return in 2021 (only because we already have our 2020 holiday booked !)

Great hotel with super friendly staff
Montreux, Switzerland
This is a great hotel with super friendly staff ! It’s not too big so you get a nice personal feel but with all the amenities. There are really nice pool and beach areas with lots of space to relax and there were always loungers available. The all inclusive is excellent with a great buffet and 2 high quality speciality restaurants (a steakhouse and a Japanese). The surf and turf was well worth the small supplement with a great filet steak and a lobster tail ! There are also multiple bars serving all the drinks you need. I loved lunch and a beer at Colin’s beach bar. Location is also great with lots of sights nearby and only a 30 min walk into Bridgetown - I highly recommend Sugar Bay !
