The hotel

The All Inclusive Sugar Bay Barbados offers a delightful holiday base with an array of activities, four fantastic restaurants, tranquil Caribbean waters in a protected lagoon, and with Bridgetown only a 10-minute drive away, you will be spoilt for choice with things to do and see! Perfect for couples, friends and families, Sugar Bay oozes boho-chic style and radiates a serene atmosphere allowing you to completely unwind in paradise. Guest rooms suit all types of holidaymakers with spacious family suites ideal for larger groups, all of which have great views of the ocean, the pool or the lush, green gardens. Being just a few metres from the calmest seas of the south coast, water sports are very much the order of the day with plenty available. Aside from taking a swim in the cool Caribbean Sea, there are also two swimming pools to laze by and a fitness centre for enthusiasts. Otherwise, head to Karma Spa for a spot of well-deserved pampering. Whilst the adults are at play, the kids have their very own children’s club, offering beach games, competitions and opportunities for exploring. Teens aren’t left out; they can hang together in the clubhouse, an adult no-go area! Dining is a joy, as Sugar Bay Barbados boasts more dining options than most hotels in Barbados! There is a tantalising selection of restaurants to choose from, each utilising the freshest produce from land and sea.

Very Clean. Rooms are exactly like the pictures. Bedding is comfortable which is always a risk! The Food was excellent especially considering it is all inclusive. The two specialty restaurants are also included and top notch. The Sizzle restaurant is a must! The drinks are incredible with all Top Shelf alcohol! Bar tenders are all great at mixing. They’re all great and attentive. And some have their own touches which make you keep returning! Make sure you have Helen or Joan make you a drink in the morning and early afternoon! A Pina Colada from Joan and a Mojita from Helen. Tell them you saw their names in a review and they’ll smile and know what special touch you’re looking for!! Helen made me a special morning drink each day! She found out what fruits I couldn’t have and concocted a special drink just for me! Food and Beverage Manager was always visible which ensured everything was in order. Grounds are beautiful. Security is excellent. Their beach front is beautiful. We went to the famous Carlisle Bay one day and had one drink. We walked the beach. There are lots of boats in the harbor blocking a beautiful view. After 20 minutes we decided to go back to Sugar Bay because the beach experience, comfort and cleanliness of loungers and the drinks far surpassed anything on the street. We loved our stay. Read less

The best part of our stay was the courteous, friendly & helpful staff & locals. Resort was beautiful, upon arrival we were greeted immediately & given a rum punch to enjoy while checking in. Checking in was easy & we were shown to our room by a staff member. Room was on the first floor, this made it convenient when having to head back to room from pool, restaurant etc. Nice clean room, not huge but plenty of room. Pool was good, never over crowded. Mostly middle age adults. Pool bar was very convenient & they do not skimp on liquor. Food was amazing, different types of meat was wonderful & plentiful. Shout out to Ramaria & Nicholas on their friendliness & helpfulness. Unfortunately beach was covered with seaweed, could not swim or sit on beach due to smell. But you can get a bus to any beach cheaply. Read less
Image of the Tripadvisor rating The hotel is ok, staff are nice and the food was good overall. Never again though, definitely not for us

It stunk of rotting seaweed for 8 days. No tropical paradise and no real effort made to clear it until it was knee deep. Other hotels had issues and provided a minibus and beach service to a clean beach down the road. Could have done better than they did!

A disappointing stay at what we had hoped would be a fabulous resort. I know some things are out of control so the bad weather can’t be blamed on the hotel, but a lack of places to be in this weather didn’t help. The Beach was covered in seaweed, again not the hotels fault but it did seem others had made an attempt to clean the space. A leaking… Read more
A disappointing stay at what we had hoped would be a fabulous resort. I know some things are out of control so the bad weather can’t be blamed on the hotel, but a lack of places to be in this weather didn’t help. The Beach was covered in seaweed, again not the hotels fault but it did seem others had made an attempt to clean the space. A leaking roof over our veranda left everything wetter than when it was put out to dry. Not my favourite place on my favourite island. The only ray of sunshine the Umi restaurant and Kay our waitress made the stay a little less painful. Not a destination for the discerning traveller. Read less

The staff are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet (especially Kimberly, Ache and Tiffiny) and they are very good at what they do. We found the food to be above average and had great variety. The pool was very nice with a swim-up bar. Our room was a bit small (others were a bit larger) but was cleaned well each day.

The staff are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet (especially Kimberly, Ache and Tiffiny) and they are very good at what they do. We found the food to be above average and had great variety. The pool was very nice with a swim-up bar. Our room was a bit small (others were a bit larger) but was cleaned well each day. Unfortunately they were experiencing issues with seaweed on the beach and in the water. Certainly not their fault as most Carribean islands have the same issue but it definitely took away from the experience. Read less
