We stayed for a short one night staycation and had no complaints. We received a complimentary upgrade for our anniversary and a cake and bubbly. It was a nice touch. Thank you!
Upon check in we were greeted by friendly staff and offered a rum punch to sip on whilst we checked in. The process was smooth and quick. Our suite was spacious and clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was overall fairly clean, but could do with more detailed cleaning and ideally an upgrade.
There was a buffet for dinner which was ok: the food was average, not bad, not great and the live music was good.
It was a peaceful setting and yes the location is slightly more away from the coast, but that's what we were looking for.
I am rating our stay 5 stars based on experience rather than facilities, as we only experienced the dining and bedroom facilities.

A couples retreat.

A good few days stay following a week's cruise for my husband and I. Check-in was friendly but pretty slow. We were told to go for lunch whilst waiting, but the staff did not explain how the alacate all-inclusive worked, and as a result, a number of couples were charged for items they ordered. All the dishes were well cooked, delicious and plentiful.
We decided to go for a walk in the grounds and gully on our first day but was later informed that we should not have gone without a guide. However, this could have been resolved if there was better communication at check-in. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, with the added bonus of monkeys and tropical birds.
Staff were friendly and helpful (apart from the older gentleman waiter), and we enjoyed talking and laughing with them .
The rooms, although somewhat dated, were large and adequate for our stay. Our room overlooked the gully, and we had the pleasure of sitting and watching the monkeys in the morning and evening.
The hotel is situated in a rather remote area and lacks entertainment and things to do throughout the day. if we didn't end up hiring a car, we would have been bored.
All in all, we had a good stay.

Mixed Feelings at Sugar Cane Club Hotel & Spa
After hearing glowing reviews from my cousin and his wife, who’ve stayed here several times over the past 12 years, we arrived at the Sugar Cane Club with high hopes. On many fronts, it didn’t disappoint—especially thanks to standout staff like Rohan the barman, whose energy during the cocktail-making class was infectious, and Gregory and Sharon in the restaurant, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.
The garden view room was set in a tranquil and beautifully kept location that reflects the charm of Barbados. However, the hotel itself is clearly in need of some renovations, which we understand are scheduled to begin next month. That said, a few aspects of the stay left us feeling let down.
Certain managers were unfortunately quite rude, and we encountered several issues with the all-inclusive package. When we asked for local Barbados rum, we were told it was no longer served because it was considered a premium product—despite the all-inclusive price we had already paid. Although the staff did eventually bring some in, it ran out after four days and was not restocked, leaving us with only Trinidad rum for the remainder of our stay.
We also heard from Liza that the all inclusive model will cease due to financial strain, which is understandable given global conditions. Still, when guests pay for all-inclusive, they expect menu items to be consistently available. Breakfast, for example, was often cold and lacking variety—though to the hotel's credit, they implemented an à la carte option toward the end of our 11-day stay, which was a welcome improvement.
On a brighter note, Shane took us on a great outing, and we had an unforgettable experience snorkeling with turtles on the complimentary glass bottom boat.
There’s real potential here—friendly staff, beautiful grounds, and a peaceful atmosphere—but the overall experience fell short of expectations. With a few thoughtful changes, this hotel could be exceptional again. For now, though, I wouldn’t return.

First time to Barbados staying at the Sugar Cane Club which we choose because it was adults only. On arrival we were greeted with a drink and cold towel, much appreciated after a long journey. We had a garden view suite which overlooked the gully, which was adequately furnished with a very comfortable bed. The shower was big but took ages to warm up.
The cleaners do an excellent job and are very pleasant. We were aware that the resort was not on the beach and that a shuttle service was in place, although we would have liked it to be more frequent, it was what it was. On researching Tripadvisor before our visit I had read that picnic lunches and drinks were available as part of AI if you were going to the beach for the day, but when requested we were told that only drinks were available and if you did want a picnic lunch it would be ten dollars.
The food was a la carte and highly seasoned, when we requested no seasoning it made no difference and still arrived seasoned, one of us often left feeling hungry as a result of this. The same two menus were alternated and became a bit monotonous. The service was poor, or slow, any deviations from the menu requested, ie no gravy, were not followed, these instances happened regularly and not just one off as this happened almost daily it became quite annoying. Requests for drinks, coffee, beer were taken, often by several waiting staff and never materialised. Staff generally were a bit unpredictable, sometimes happy and welcoming other times quite surly and definitely had favourites.
Recommendations - Gully walk, Sand Street Bistro walk to Heywoods/Almond beach, also Holetown beach and if you are adventurous take a ride on the Reggae Bus
In conclusion - We did enjoy Barbados - Sugar Cane Club is a beautiful resort, seeing a Father Christmas when its 28 degrees was different!
