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.

Best family vacation to date - we travelled with our two young daughters (1 & 3 years old) the 1st week of June. Beach: 10/10 - the water is beautiful and has a shallow entrance which was a great spot for my daughters to swim and play in. Due to the man made rocks, it helped break down the waves, so we had no issues hanging out and playing with sand toys at the shore line. It was always easy to find beach chairs, and the men from the sports hut easily set up umbrellas for us. Food: 10/10 - this is the best all inclusive food we've had. The Reef buffet is small however that was the beauty of it - no need to walk around and be indecisive with what to eat. All the food they had (esp. the local Bajan good ) was sooooo good. We all still think about the food. We also enjoyed Collin's for lunch - once again great options/specials daily. Room - 10/10: We stayed in the family ocean suite and it was spacious and accommodated our family of 4. They also provided a wonderful crib, toddler bath tub, diaper pails. Kids Club - Kaiya and Keisha were amazing - our little ones still recall their names and wonder how they're doing. My 3 year old was able to make bracelets (which she loves to wear), do arts and crafts, play in their outdoor park. Overall it was a nice change in our day to visit the Kids Club in the evening time before dinner. Staff - 10/10, everyone we encountered were friendly and welcoming. Happy to always help us and say hello to our daughters. We will definitely be coming back here again - I hope this helps for other families as I relied on other guests' reviews and it really helped plan my trip. See you again Sugar Bay! Read less

We had a great time at Sugar Bay for 9 nights. Food really is excellent at all times, we really enjoyed the variety also. Rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious with good air conditioning. The grounds were really nice, pleasant atmosphere, lovely views and friendly helpful staff. We particularly loved the beach and pool bars and variety of cocktails to relax with. Hired a car for a couple of days to explore the island which the concierge sorted for us with ease. A lovely stay and highly recommended Read less
