On my way to celebrate my moms birthday, I was locked in a silly conversation with the gate man, why?? Because he didn???t see my sisters name or my moms name in his book!! Ok I proceeded to explain ???sir my sisters inside about to have dinner with my mom and family??? he proceeded to explain ???she???s not on the list and I can???t let you in??? again I expressed to the gentleman my family is in the and I???m going to spend money at the restaurant do I really need a reservation? He said I don???t see them on the list sir, ok how about you call the restaurant ???!! After doing that they themselves said they don???t see her nor have her name in the book!! Ok again sir I???m going to have dinner so may I enter and have a night with my family to celebrate my moms birthday???! Sir I need to have confirmation as it???s procedure! Ok I proceeded to call my sister and allowed her to ask the restaurant to call the guard guy and confirm my sister and family along with my mom is inside, so after 12 mins to 15 waiting finally it was confirmed and I was allowed to enter and not pleased by this encounter and it left me quiet perturbed. I did enjoy my night regardless with my family and my mom in the restaurant Umi and would recommend to anyone.

Had a fantastic 10 day stay here for our honeymoon. The people of Barbados are so nice including all the staff at Sugar Bay they made the stay 10/10, incredibly polite and fun they make sure you are well looked after. The food at Sugar Bay is the best food we have ever eaten, every day for breakfast/lunch/tea we were impressed with every meal. If you are looking for somewhere to relax this is the place. The beach is fantastic with a sports/activities hut where you can use snorkels, paddle boards and kayak???s, the guys that work in the hut and look after the beach are so helpful and fun, they make you feel so welcome and relaxed and deserve a lot of credit, as do all the staff at Sugar Bay. The hotel is not self service for drinks you are served during meals by staff and can also visit a bar to order drinks - they will make you any cocktail you like. We will be revisiting in the future no doubt, a place we will not forget.

My husband and I have just returned from Sugar Bay where we chose to stay in a Deluxe Ocean View Room which was a good choice. The room was just as expected and the hotel is in a stunning location. However, the resort is badly let down by the poor attitude of many of the staff members. Many of the reception staff are very surly and could do with some customer service training. We stayed for seven nights, on three separate days we did not have any hot water (we were told yesterday that there is a known problem with the hot water system); on two separate days we returned to our room to find it had not been serviced at all (once at 1.00p.m. and the next time at 4.00p.m.) When we reported it we were asked if we had left our "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door which we did not.Our bed linen was not changed at all during our stay, despite the information folder stating that it would be changed every three days. The service in the restaurant and bar by some members of staff was very second rate - on many occasions we had to ask repeatedly for our drinks order.
As I said at the start of my review, the hotel is beautiful but our experience over the last seven days was extremely disappointing. It is an expensive resort but the level of service offered does not come anywhere near the service we have received at other all-inclusive Caribbean resorts.

We stayed for a week end of October beginning of November. Our arrival was greeted with friendly reception staff a rum punch and towel. Perfect
I was slightly disappointed with our room (402) which was difficult for us and the porter to reach with our luggage, and the corridor leading up to it was dark and slightly damp smelling The room was very clean and comfortable but I wished I'd booked an ocean room and a bigger room for the kids, once the sofa bed and rollaway bed were out there wasn't much space for them and little storage space for their clothes. That said, we spent little time there, sleeping and showering.
The thing that make this hotel stand out from other all inclusive hotels I have visited is the quality of the food and staff. The small but plentiful buffet was different every day with gorgeous flavours, there was plenty of choice for everyone and it was great to see. Colins lunch time bar also great, really friendly staff and god food. Andrea on the egg station made my breakfast most mornings with a cheery smile.
All of the bar staff were lovely and accommodating, my kids loved the fruit punch, racking up about 100 between them over the week! Personally I preferred the lovely sparkling wine!
The pool was good, we visited at half term and my kids made friends easily. The beach is beautiful, plenty of loungers not crowded and good service.
Highlights included rescuing baby turtles who hatched and the sunsets, Halloween party & a movie on the beach

Our family was there for 1 week to attend a wedding on 10/16/2019.....What can I say about this place that has not been said already?........The bar and staff are the best.......Kay became our best friend and so did the bar boys at Colin's Bar / Grill....the food is amazing and the service is the best.....we had unlimited drinks coming to us on the beach all day and every day......The pool was not too busy but again ...drinks unlimited with Helen.....We had a great time and the wedding was beautiful with a nice sunset that day.....The water there is like bath water, but even better......We all had a great time meeting new friends from Canada and taking lots of photos.........This hotel has great nightly entertainment but is not a place to meet younger singles.....found that it is mostly for young families and couples....or maybe it was just that time of year....Any how, still had a great holiday!
