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.

Sugar Bay is an awesome all inclusive resort property. We loved superb location right on the ocean with a beautiful view as well as top notch service. Food as excellent! Our ocean front deluxe room was very spacious, clean & AC worked great! Dining and bar areas are all open air with great views.

This visit was our fourth visit and will are already looking to book visit number five. We absolutely love Sugar Bay Resort. There is absolutely nothing not to like about it! Morgan (owner) is renovating the resort to keep it is absolutely pristine condition. The rooms are very comfortable. Drinks station, fridge, robes and slippers, hair and skin products, etc. The resort is a boutique resort so everything is in proportion to its number of guests - no huge queues at meal times, plenty of loungers on a very nice, protected beach. The beach staff take very good care of the residents. There is plenty of choice for food. Breakfast (and lunch and dinner) in the reef - fresh cooked eggs just the way you like them from the central island, hot breakfast, fruit and yoghurt, smoked salmon (personal favourite of mine), various bread including gluten free (Paul and his team do an amazing job). We really like Colin's down by the beach. Always a different type of fish and local dish every day plus the usual burgers and hot dogs. Nice bar down there too. There is also Umi (Japanese) which I can only describe the food as being exquisite as well as authentic (Japanese chef). Sizzles (steak) restaurant. We have been there each time we have stayed at SB. Love it. The steaks are to die for - this trip was no exception. The bar - half on the beach and half facing the pool and restaurant. What a brilliant idea. Soft sofas the beach side to just relax and chill out. Hive of activity throughout the day and evening. In the even there is live entertainment - singers are great. SB's biggest asset is its staff. They are can do in their approach to everything they do. And always done with a smile. They are truly amazing and so hard working. They will always find the time to say hi and have a quick chat with you and if there is anything you need or something needs fixing, it gets done. I am absolutely hopeless with name but a special mention to Emerald who looked after our room. Absolute sweetheart. Thank you so much. The staff work tirelessly all day every day to make your stay perfect. The ambience that Morgan and his team have created is unique. Look forward to seeing you again in 2025. Read less

My boyfriend and I stayed at Sugar Bay from the end of Oct to early Nov and we had a week in total paradise! Whilst the hotel is beautiful, food is amazing, and beach is breathtaking - the staff make this hotel very special. Everyone is incredibly friendly and they are so accommodating, nothing is too much for them. I’ve never experienced such an amazing team. Concierge were so helpful in helping us book taxis, and trips out of the hotel (Oistins on a Friday night is a MUST!). If you’re considering staying here - this is your sign! I am counting down the days until we are lucky enough to revisit. Read less

Fabulous hotel with excellent staff. We spent 7 days here and loved every minute. The food was great with good variety and quality. One day we had a tropical storm and the staff went above and beyond to help all their guests. We were in the UMI restaurant at the time and although the girls in the restaurant were soaked to the skin, fielding falling glasses, chopsticks and napkins, they continued to be professional, kind and had a sense of humour. Well done to them. Read less
