Sugar Bay Barbados

Barbados, Caribbean

Star rating

The hotel

This all-inclusive, beachfront gem is perfectly placed on the island’s sought-after south coast, just minutes from Bridgetown, pairing postcard-worthy ocean views with one of the best locations in Barbados. Rooms are bright and breezy with garden, pool or sea views, and there’s space for everyone, from romantic escapes to laid-back family holidays. Days drift by between turquoise swims, two sparkling pools and indulgent moments at the spa. Dining is where Sugar Bay really shines. Four restaurants are included, but it’s the award-winning Asian fusion spot, Umi, that steals the show. Boho-chic style, unbeatable views, a prime south coast setting and a loyal following of returning guests - Sugar Bay Barbados is the kind of place you’ll want to come back to, too.

My husband and myself stayed at this hotel on 12 March for 2 weeks, the room we were allocated was very basic and not the one that we should have had there was no sink in the very small shower room, sink was placed around the corner of the room and opposite the wardrobes couldn’t use the shelf underneath because the toilet rolls and towels were kept there no room in n the shower room , we had to sit sideways on the toilet because our legs were touching the wall had we sat the normal way, had to bring shower door inwards there was very little room to push door , the booking form stated we would have a pool or garden view we had a jungle view from balcony,it’s a beautiful place and did not expect such a basic room, I went to reception to say that I had asked for a ground floor as he has had a heart attack in the past and was told no other rooms were available, try not n the morning , went to see tui rep following morning and she wrote it all down and never heard anymore , with no sink in shower it was not hygieneic after using the loo, I was quite shocked this place had such basic room,we were in 203 right at the end of the building.

We had heard many great things about this resort before arriving but it truly exceeded all our expectations. The hotel itself is beautiful and our Ocean View Room (3 floor left side) was excellent but what really made our holiday so special was the outstanding team of staff. Every member of staff we encountered was professional, friendly and genuinely welcoming. We were especially impressed by how attentive everyone was — always taking the time to speak with guests and ensure everyone felt valued and well looked after. The team are a real credit to the resort. The high standards throughout were very noticeable particularly in the presentation of the staff. Uniforms were always immaculate and everyone looked incredibly smart, which added to the overall feeling of quality and care. The food was excellent with a wide variety of choice and beautifully presented dishes. We would also like to mention the two young gentlemen on the beach who worked tirelessly setting up umbrellas and assisting guests — their hard work and positive attitude really stood out. Housekeeping also did a fantastic job, keeping everything spotless and maintaining such a high standard of cleanliness throughout the resort. We would have no hesitation in recommending this resort to others and will definitely be sharing our positive experience to encourage others to visit. We very much hope to return again in the future.
