The Sugar Beach Resort was fantastic. We spent our honeymoon at the resort and we felt as if we were the only ones there. The staff and management did a great job of making us feel special the entire time. We will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting St. Lucia!

Wow. We had the MOST amazing time at Sugar Beach. To the point that it was almost surreal - I???m still blown away and feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have been able to visit the island of St. Lucia (a literal paradise).
First of all, the transition from the airport to sugar beach was seamless - they had a desk for the hotel ready to shuttle people with luxury taxis to the resort. When we showed up we didn???t even have to go to the front desk- they dropped us off at our room. And here???s where the magic begins - Sugar Beach began our trip by telling us they upgraded us to a room with a private plunge pool and butler!! We couldn???t believe it, and kept walking around our cottage stunned. It was gorgeous, beautiful comfy king sized bed, big bathroom and complimentary water/sodas/nespresso/tea AND mini bottle of rum waiting for us with all the fixings to make the famous St Lucian rum punch. Still giddy thinking about how immediately we were swept up into vacation mode.
Dilan was our butler and he was so lovely, helpful, kind- I feel like we couldn???t thank him enough. He explained everything for us and was always a phone call away!
Which brings me to getting around - the resort is spread around a hillside nestled within the Pitons (amazing views!!!). To get down to breakfast, the beach, anywhere we simply dialed the butler service on a little cellphone they provided and they showed up no more than 2 minutes later in a comfy van. A quick minute drive down the mountain and we were at our destination! Getting back was always a breeze too- we would sit down at a beach outside Bayside (the more casual dining location right on the beach) and without fail a van would come around 2 minutes later, without having called or told anyone. Terry was our driver a couple of times and he always was so friendly, asking how our stay was going and if the needed anything. Thank you Terry!!
The room: Gorgeous, clean white furniture and bed coverings with dark wood, comfy bed and pillows, spacious and had a large terrace with 3 different sitting areas! I almost fell asleep out there in the warm sea breeze one night. We spent every morning in our robes on the terrace sipping espresso and expecting to wake up from this dream at any moment. Plunge pool was gorgeous, warm, clean. There were both US outlets and St Lucian outlets.
The beach: Unbelievably gorgeous. Super easy to get lounge chairs right in the first row under massive natural cabanas/umbrellas. Spread out. Peaceful, warm without being sweltering. Sand was soft and white. They come around and take drink orders and we ate lunch right on the beach. Thank you to Simeon- he was so kind and always so diligent to everyone???s needs, smile on his face!
COVID: My boyfriend and I are both fully vaccinated but obviously still were concerned about everyone being safe and wearing masks/social distancing as the pandemic still is dangerous. Sugar Beach was extremely professional and safe - everyone in masks except while eating/on the beach (altho even in those scenarios staff is still masked) and you???re essentially always outside except when you???re not in your private room - plenty of space, fresh air! They would spray our hands with hand sanitizer whenever we entered a vehicle and there were hand sanitizing stations located throughout. I felt extremely comfortable the whole time and was appreciative of everyone (including other guests) being safe.
Excursions: Honestly we weren???t planning on doing any (why would you leave this oasis?) but Dilan made the sunset cruise sound so enticing I couldn???t help but book it! It was gorgeous - thank you to the entire Mystic boat cruise, they were so much fun and kept us well-hydrated with rum punches and pitons :) The beach has a dive shop right on it and it???s free for guests to use the snorkeling equipment and check out the beautiful tropical fish in the reefs right off the beach!
The food: we had breakfast on the terrace of the great house every morning and usually ate so much we weren???t hungry again till 3! Breakfast was excellent (I got blueberry French toast my last day and wish I had had it every day!). We ate dinner at Bayside right on the beach which had amazing views- one night they did a bbq buffet with live music (the band was so fun!!) and thank you to Verna for making a delicious banana flamb?? over Nutella crepe!
Lastly, I just really want to thank everyone on the Sugar Beach staff for sharing your home island with us. You all are so kind, so friendly and really made this already exceptionally beautiful place feel like home. They were always ensuring we were having the best possible time- Tracy came around and was checking on people on the beach, eliciting feedback or if there is anything they could do to improve - there???s NOTHING! I didn???t get the chance to write down the names of all the wonderful people we interacted with - so if I missed you I???m sorry - but again thank you for such a wonderful 4 days.
Can???t wait to come back!
