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.

For our 25th wedding anniversary, we decided to shoot big, and get out of our comfort zone and leave the US. Our stay was outstanding! As soon as we arrived we were greeted with smiles, rum punch and the sweetest people. The buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner never disappointed. With a different theme everyday there's something for everyone and plentyyy to choose from. And for those people who complain about it, I'm convinced they're the people who nothing will make them happy and complain just for the sake of it. One of our servers, Breanna was such a sweetheart, i know shes going to do great things! Keep that smile girl🥰, it works well on you! The rooms were clean, comfortable and air conditioned. Shamara, Germaine, and Kimberly were always around keeping things spotless, with smiles on their faces everyday, they were so pleasant and welcoming, and Kimberly is the cutest ball of fun! The staff were amazing and the bartenders were on point. Joan, Helen and Lee are super sweet, fun to talk to and whip up some banging drinks, anything you can possibly think of and a few you'd never think of! Try Joan's Bounty 😉. But we have to give extra extra props to Akiel. Not only was he on point, friendly, out going, would show up on the beach with our favorite drinks without even asking, AND also makes some amazing drinks, but he went ABOVE and BEYOND for us on multiple!!!! occasions!!!! on his days off none the less. We cant even express our extreeme gratitude. Sugarbay is lucky to have him! We're looking forward and cant wait to go back! Read less

Spent a week earlier in October at the Sugar Bay with partner on an all-inclusive basis. The hotel is quite compact, not a sprawling affair and everything happens around a central reception area. The buildings are set back from the main road and there is no intrusive noise from the surroundings. Our double room was clean and comfortable with maid service regular in the morning although replacement of bathroom towels could take place at any time later in the day. There is plenty of choice at breakfast, lunch and dinner with consideration of dietary requirements, however waiter service for drinks and table clearing could be a bit better. The bars are well staffed and offer plenty of choice. Families and children are accommodated well. Anyone who has been to an all-inclusive hotel in the Caribbean will recognise what is on offer here, perfectly satisfactory but not a stand out either. Read less

Just had a fabulous 10 nights at Sugar Bay. The food is great. Who doesn't appreciate eating whilst overlooking the ocean. They catered extremely well for hubby who is coeliac. The drinks are incredible, you have to try the mud slides ( it's a drink not an activity) Spend time at the pool bar making new friends. The pool area is cleaned daily,… Read more
Just had a fabulous 10 nights at Sugar Bay. The food is great. Who doesn't appreciate eating whilst overlooking the ocean. They catered extremely well for hubby who is coeliac. The drinks are incredible, you have to try the mud slides ( it's a drink not an activity) Spend time at the pool bar making new friends. The pool area is cleaned daily, and there's a nice touch of pool towels on sunbeds. Towels are also provided for the beach and can be changed daily. What makes this place stand out is the staff. Nothing is too much trouble and are all friendly. Read less

My husband and I had a great time here last week. Great location, everyone was so friendly, delicious food - we would definitely come back! We’ve been to many all inclusive resorts across the Caribbean and this one ranks at the top. Pros - I have a gluten intolerance (not celiac) and had no problem with the food here. There was always gluten free bread, muffins, and dessert in a separate section. In the buffet the chefs were so helpful pointing out what was safe, they clearly communicated they use cornstarch instead of flour wherever possible. - There are 2 restaurant on site (steakhouse and Japanese) and because we were there for 6 nights got to eat at each of them once. - We never had problems getting a seat or umbrella at the beach of pool. Could have helped that we were there off peak! Loved that the beach water was calm because it was protected by the reef. We snorkeled directly off the shore and there were lots of fish to see. - We also got a lovely room upgrade with a beach view and separate living room area from the bed. - Service was great, everyone was so friendly. Our room was always kept clean. A few small cons were that the bed was too firm, the pool was a bit small, and the bedding was a bit rough. But other then that no complaints! I would definitely return Read less

Just returned from our first visit to Barbados and Sugar Bay I cannot rate the hotel Highly enough Staff were amazing So helpful and friendly Nothing was too much trouble Our room was in Block 3 - was clean and spacious. My 1 negative is the lack of plug points but it didn’t spoil anything The guys who clean the pool were out every morning and a few times we saw them also using the net later on to clean off leaves etc Beach - I normally don’t spend a lot of time on a beach but I couldn’t resist this one Some mornings I was down early and it felt like my own private beach and so peaceful Water sports guys happy to set up umbrellas also plenty tables which was great Tip - take water shoes ! Food was fantastic at the buffet and we had 2 visits to Sizzle and 1 to Umi Overall a fantastic experience and would certainly return Read less
