Sugar Beach is a beautiful resort that is really meant for relaxation. The views of The Pitons is unbelievably spectacular and everyone on staff is incredibly nice and helpful. Our trip was a Tuesday - Saturday in June 2024. We booked our stay sort of last minute and thought we were going to have to switch to another hotel on the north side of the island halfway through (which would have ruined all of our plans with our friends who were also staying at Sugar Beach) but we ended up staying in 3 different rooms during our stay to make it work, the staff worked with us and were thankfully able to accommodate us (Shout out to out beachfront butler, Makayla!). Our first two nights were in a Deluxe Cottage, the cottage was beautiful, clean, and relaxing. We slept so good and we enjoyed the nightly turn down service. The butlers Toyan (sp) and Gary were wonderful. Out of all of the rooms, we actually enjoyed this one the most because while smaller than the others and seemingly less luxurious, it was furthest away from the sea which in hindsight meant less mosquitoes which is a plus! Our third night we stayed in a Two Bedroom Ocean View Residence. Beautiful residence and there was a mango tree planted by Nelson Mandela right outside the residence! It included a full kitchen and two bathrooms, there were only two of us, but it would be an excellent space to stay in with kids or extended family. We loved swimming and relaxing in the pool. Again, the butler Charles was wonderful. Finally, our last night we stayed in a Beachfront Bungalow. The view right outside facing the beach was spectacular. We loved being able to sit and doze off in the hammock and being able to walk right out of our room and in a few steps be in the water. The property like most of St. Lucia is very hilly so there is not much walking around unless you want to get in a bit of exercise, but the shuttle service around the resort is great. We enjoyed all of our meals, the gym is well equipped and never felt crowded. We just really enjoyed our stay and we are definitely glad that this is were we stayed on our first visit to St. Lucia!

Our beachfront bungalow was perfect and our butler’s were wonderful and helpful. Love the resort! Expensive but worth the experience. All the staff was so friendly. Restaurants were hard to get into so reserve in advance. Bonte was my favorite.
