Great vibe

Gordon R (Carlisle, United Kingdom) on Feb 16, 2025

Very friendly staff. Great variety of food and dining experiences. Rooms and resort very clean. Well placed for local visits to Garrison UNESCO World Heritage Site and to see the swimming horses at Pebbles Beach. Just a great vibe and feel to the resort.

Best buffet food ever!!

Suzi T on Feb 15, 2025

The best buffet food ever and we have been to many destinations. Also the hotel rooms all of a very good standard. We did get flooded due to heavy rain but were moved by the hotel twice, but we ended up on a first floor sea facing room. Entertainment also excellent, brilliant female group amongst them. Staff also felt comfortable to dance at their stations when service was quiet which was lovely to see. Easy access from and to the airport, just get a cab $35 each way. From the airport when you land has taxis just outside. Just ask the price and they take you straight to your hotel. There was a oriental and steak house themed restaurants that were also good, but I thought the buffet was better in my opinion. Sorry the small pub open to 1am was naff with a large screen TV with loud music. and in need of updating. You can walk to Browns beach and horse racing from the hotel or just pop on the local buses (little vans) to get to other parts of the island, they cram people in so be prepared and for loud music but you are very safe in Barbados. Lovely people everyone so polite and all say hello and welcome to their island when out and about. I recommend staying at this very friendly hotel. I would definitely go back.

Beautiful resort with wonderful service

609montew (Rock Valley, Iowa) on Feb 12, 2025

We had a wonderful week at Sugar Bay. The staff was superb, very friendly and will honor any requests! Beautiful property and beach. Just a little rocky, nothing you can’t step around. Staff brought out umbrellas so you don’t bake in the sun! The Reef buffet had plenty of options and a different theme nightly. Also went to the Collin’s snack shack for lunch. Had burgers and hotdogs and fries for a change. Ate at Sizzle steakhouse one night and the steaks were delicious!! Loved the nightly entertainment, super singers and 2 nights had dancers and fire eaters! All around wonderful vacation would definitely recommend!!!!

A great place to stay in Barbados

Michael B on Feb 11, 2025

We spent a few days at the Sugar Bay resort prior to a cruise and we were not disappointed. The rooms were great, the food was quite good, and the pool was very enjoyable. The employees were very friendly and they always had a smile and always said "Hello". I also like the fact that is was a relatively small and quaint property. I recommend this property highly!!

Sugar Bay Hotel is fantastic!

anothersteve (Windsor,England) on Feb 10, 2025

Our group of 6 fiends have just returned from Barbados after a fantastic stay at Sugar Bay Hotel. I have personally stayed in quite a few places in my many visits to this beautiful island but I think Sugar Bay is probably the best experience I have ever had there. Everything about the place is just so good….from the welcome by the wonderful Reception staff & porters to the room & its facilities. The whole team working at the hotel are so friendly including all the restaurant staff….bar staff…water sports staff….housekeeping staff & those who you didn’t see much behind the scene. The food in the Reef Restaurant was very good as was the speciality restaurants Ume & Sizzle which was a welcome extra for a different experience. 4 of our group were on their 1st visit to Barbados & their experience at Sugar Bay has left a lasting impression wanting them to return again. The whole experience for all us was so good & I would like to congratulate & thank everyone there for such great Customer Service. I also congratulate the Managers & owners for creating such a wonderful hotel employing the right type of staff who looked after us so well! We will all be back!
