Sugar Bay Barbados

My husband and I have just returned from a weeks stay at Sugar Bay following a weeks Cruise. This hotel is superb. From the moment i entered the hotel i knew we were going to have a wonderful time. Welcome drinks (strong!!) and a smooth check in. Allocated a gorgeous pool view room on the ground floor - 133. Reef restaurant is wonderful - the food is superb with such a variety of choice. We were able to visit 'Tumi' and 'Sizzle' once during our stay as part of the AI - The food is fabulous. 'Colin's' for lunch and drinks is great too. We had the best week at the hotel and are booking to return next year. The cocktails are incredible, the beach beautiful, the pool relaxing. Entertainment is relaxing/classy and suits the hotel. The team of hotel staff are incredible - good conversations/kind and helpful. We had such a perfect week - it has been incredibly hard to adapt back to the London weather and work..!!!

This is our 11th visit to Sugar Bay since it opened just over 10 years ago. I think that shows how much we love the laid back vibes of this hotel. Everything about it is just perfect for us. Top of this list are the staff who are so friendly and attentive. The food is excellent. The rooms, amazing beach and hotel location ticks all our boxes. We’re already looking at dates for our next visit.

Just back from the hotel after another visit this time with friends. Stayed this time in a ground level poolside room. The room itself is perfect with a/c, enough storage for us both, a good sized bed and perfectly adequate bathroom. Good hairdryer with all the attachments. The rooms are cleaned daily with plenty of fresh towels and toiletries ||Check in was smooth with the usual rum punch to kickstart the tastebuds. The reception area as usual is constantly swept and washed clean. ||We tried all the dining options and have to report we found them to be the best standard to date. Some folk will want an endless choice but SB concentrate on quality. An improved salad bar has certainly helped. ||I have to mention the pool, surroundings and beds. Firstly the pool this year has greatly improved with especially Cody and Maurice cleaning the pool and loungers on a daily basis. Excellent work lads. There was a concern voiced on social media re guests reserving loungers. Does this happen…yes but towels were removed by the staff on at least 1 occasion. ||Finally we would like to acknowledge the staff at SB. Unbelievably friendly and helpful. The bar staff work tirelessly as do the beach team. Cherese, Kimberly Akeem, Nicholas, Kay and Javan are outstanding team members ||To the management please keep up the ever improving standards . Well done all

First and foremost, I want to sing the praises of the staff at Sugar Bay; such wonderful people. My wife and I loved our time at Sugar Bay. Overall I thought the food was great; kudos to the kitchen staff. The buffet at The Reef was fresh with great flavors and ever changing options during our time. We enjoyed lunches at Colin’s Bar/Grill with some local inspired daily specials. We also enjoyed Valentines seafood dinner at Sizzle Steakhouse; lobster and blackened snapper. Most nights there was talented musical entertainment. One night had fire dancers. Resort had plenty of beach lounge chairs and the ocean was a refreshing temperature in February. The sports/beach team would bring out an umbrella on request. And one morning I walked down to see the racehorses swimming at Pebbles Beach; just a ~15minute walk.

Im giving 2 stars because me and my husband were treated unfair 2 out of the 5 nights that we were here. I was told that I could not enter in for lunch with my coverup,although I had the same cover up on for breakfast and it was not a problem. I am a colored girl that may be a lottle more voluptuous than others if that make sense, but that is unfair for them to tell me to cover up "a little more" when everyone else can walk around in a bikini with a cover up. The food and majority of the staff workers were great. In fact me and my husband tipped over $100 in USD for meals on the resort prior to these events occurring . That wasnt even taking into consideration. There was barely any music played near the pool, no real entertainment otjer than the night time shows. As a family 4/5 star resort, there should be entertainmemt throughout the resort and in the pool and beach area. We have been all over the Caribbean and this has been the worst by far.Our flight changed for later in tje evening and wr asked for a late checkout, which is only 1 hour later than the regular checkout amd that was denied. They cater to the senior citizen community. The 2 stars were given for the food. The food was better than the local food and we tipped 20% based on that because that's what we would have done in the U.S.

We loved sugar bay. One of the “ smaller” big hotels. No issue to get sun lounger nor queues at the buffet. I was not a fan of a buffet but sugar bay has changed my mind. Great food, lot’s of variety & high quality ingredients. We enjoyed the Sizzler but less so Umi. With hindsight, I should have had 2 starters as the mains were fairly bland. Alcohol was plentiful & although not top of the range, definitely mid so no complaints. Beach is gorgeous with protection from the breakwater. I was a little concerned that we were Atlantic side but sea definitely felt Caribbean. We would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic 10 night stay at Sugar Bay in August\September 2025. The weather was great and the entertainment was superb. The rum punch was deadly but in a good way. It was a very relaxing time, just what we needed as this was our first beach holiday in many years. The food was great with a eclectic mix of local and international cuisines. Great choices for everyone no matter how adventurous a palate you may have. We would like to especially thank the staff at Sugar Bay for making our stay special in particular Sophia, Samantha E., Cherese, Andre, Kimberly and Justin. Thank you so much!!! We can't wait to go back there again!

We just returned from a week at Sugar Bay. I have nothing negative to say about this resort. My first and foremost criteria is the beach and SB does not disappoint. The beach crew run around tirelessly all day placing umbrellas where you wish! No need to rush out at 6 am to get a chair. We didn't spend much time at the pool but there is a swim up bar there which seemed popular. No cheesy shows at night, but live entertainment which we love. Our room was ocean view and had some modern upgrades, two balconies and a comfortable bed. The Reef Restaurant had a wide variety of items each day to suit the most picky eaters - evenings always included fish, seafood or shellfish, plus a carving station. For my birthday, we went to Sizzle Steakhouse which had great service and food. The restaurant provided a bottle of champagne and sweets for the occasion. The staff are soooo friendly! I will try to name a few - Re-Shawn, Shawntee, Aykeem, Keshawna, Kaydean, Andrea, Tremaine, Chloe. I have been watching this resort for a few years and finally got to go! I will definitely be back. Thanks for a wonderful birthday visit.
