Sugar Beach (FKA Jalousie) is big resort with around 100 villas scattered over a large area of forested hill side overlooking the pitons and a beautiful bay. The rooms mostly have private plunge pools and sun decks, and are situated thoughtfully to provide privacy. Although some are high up the hill, the hotel runs a constant shuttle service between the rooms, beaches and restaurants, which you can call via a dedicated mobile phone to your butler who will arrange collection as well as sorting out restaurant and taxi bookings and anything else you need to arrange. The views are spectacular, the sea is crystal clear, the coral reef right by the beach is a marine reserve with beautiful fish. Food is generally vet good - breakfast on the terrace overlooking the bay, lunch at beach bars or the bayside restaurant, and a more formal ???Great House??? restaurant open in the evenings. All this comes at a corresponding price tag even after you have paid for the room - ($175 for a pair of beach shorts?!) the beach BBQ for example is $90 per head - but was far better than others I have had in the Caribbean. The other thing to mention is that given the mountainous terrain it is impractical to walk anywhere from the resort, you will need tiger taxis, so apart from specific trips we mostly stayed at either of the two beaches or by our pool. The views from all these were truly stunning.

We had a wonderful vacation at Sugar Beach during Christmas week, it is a picture perfect setting for relaxation. The facilities were fantastic and service was friendly. The water is so beautiful and calm, our kids loved jumping off the rafts and participating in the on-site water sports. The hotel also organized some great excursions for us, they were extremely helpful. Our only ???negative??? feedback was that we grew bored of the food about halfway into the week ??? mixing up the options would be great ??? and that service at the beach was hit or miss. But these are honestly only small blips in an otherwise perfect family vacation and we look forward to returning.

Before we visited SL, I read a lot of views on visiting Sugar Beach, but in the end we decided to pay the $50 per person and give it a try. Here???s some thoughts.....I was very hesitant to pay, big believer that access should be free to all beaches. However was prepared to write it off as ???pre-paying??? for lunch. ( our favorite beach was Anse Chastenet which was free, but we also paid $100 for lunch there one day so you could argue same same )
Firstly - the walk, it is really far, no really far. And really steep. We simply parked up at 2nd gate and the shuttle had us on the beach in 5 minutes. The return shuttle process was just as smooth. So glad we didn???t walk. Lunch and drinks were good, great setting, lovely staff.
The beach itself is lovely but the tiny area for non residents to use free loungers looked pretty grim - we took ourselves to the residents side and just laid out there, nobody bothered us or made us feel unwelcome. You can rent paddle boards / hobie cats at very reasonable rates and the setting is obviously stunning. Personally the beach was more enjoyable later ( after 2pm ) once the water taxi / group trips had died down. Overall I???m glad we went and had a very positive experience.

My wife and I originally reserved a one night stay at Stonefield state Resort. Upon arrival, we learned the only available cottage had an insurmountable amount of stairs with no hand rails to climb. This was unacceptable for us. So, the staff at their reservations desk found us a cottage at Sugar Beach Resort. After a very long day of travel, we were happy to be greeted so warmly at Sugar Beach.
