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.

What can I say, a wonderful relaxing holiday. Never been to Barbados before, but from the moment the reception staff meet you with rum punch, the experience was stunning. The front desk team sorted transport without a fuss. With the Beach right on your doorstep, the water is never too rough due to the natural reefs just offshore. Start with the room, clean and good cool air-conditioning, great house-keeping staff. The variety and quality of food in the buffet restaurant is outstanding. The restaurant staff were great, especially Akiel, who remembered our drinks order and Nickolai and Natalie. Never a queue to have table in the buffet, Cherese sorted that - even when the rain came!. The speciality restaurants, Umi & Sizzle were superb - book early. The bar staff were tremendous, Seth & Antonio. Also the watersports guys on the beach, Jason & Rogik, amazing for umbrellas, tables and drinks orders. The gym is well stocked with free weights & machines - also very clean. The evening Entertainment was fun and appeals to a wide audience, especially Virgo. The whole place just makes you feel relaxed, nothing is too much bother. Will definitely be back, hopefully next year. Read less

A different theme every day and evening. Great choices but not too much so it's not overwhelming. You are totally looked after in every way. The beach is well maintained especially as they have had the challenge of hurricane Beryl. We wouldn't go anywhere else. Read less

An amazing hotel in a fantastic location. It was our first time in Barbados and we will definitely be returning. All of the staff were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was spotlessly clean, food great and the afternoon tea was an added bonus. Can't wait to return!
