My husband and I spent two nights of our honeymoon at Sugar Beach (combined with three nights at a different resort). The location, rooms, amenities, services and food at Sugar Beach can't be beat! It is true paradise, situated in a valley between the two Piton mountains. Even though it's a family resort, it was perfect for a honeymoon. Very romantic and perfect in every way!

We celebrated a milestone birthday at Sugar Beach and couldn't have been more pleased with the entire experience. This was a splurge trip - we brought our three teenaged children - so were a bit concerned reading some of the not-so-positive reviews, but can report that our experience was nothing but positive.
Highlights included hiking Gros Piton, snorkeling in the cove, and a private dinner at our villa featuring local dishes. My husband was able to meet privately with sommelier Alessandro to discuss the wine and with Chef Hezemiah to plan the menu. Chef Kelvin prepared the delicious food right in our kitchen, and our butler Charles brought dish after dish of delicious food. Charles did an excellent job during the week, answering our questions, arranging our activities, and making reservations when needed.
The setting is breathtaking and we spent each afternoon out on our patio, in between the Pitons, watching the sun set. The scents of the flowers, the sounds of the birds and tree frogs at night, the cool breeze. There is nothing like it for getting you to slow down and forget everything that is waiting back home.
Most of all, we enjoyed how friendly the staff were. Everyone we encountered said hello, asked how we were doing and wished us a blessed day. We walked back and forth from our villa to the beach and restaurants and everyone we encountered - van drivers, housekeeping staff, grounds keepers - had smiles and waves and greetings for us. Ingrid at breakfast knew exactly what we wanted before we sat down. Cejay kept our pool spotless and his insights about the importance of rain to the St. Lucians had us thinking about the afternoon sun showers very differently. We enjoyed asking about St. Lucia and talking with the staff about their island and we learned so much from those conversations.
Yes, the prices are high. We did all of our research before hand (you can find all the services and fees on the resort website) and there were no surprises. We found it to be the perfect spot for our celebration and the memories of our week there are among the best of any trip we've taken.

Third trip travelling with our two children ages 5 and 8.
We enjoy sugar beach more on each visit so can???t wait for the next one. Beautiful villa with amazing views. Fabulous food and impeccable service.
Staff here are just wonderful throughout the resort.
All inclusive offerings remain badly set up but we???ve got used to it now and it???s only annoying for wine and cocktails. Please fix it!!
We used the kids club less on this trip as the kids had outgrown it a touch and preferred to play with friends at the beach and pool but when they did go in they had a great time.
It remains our favourite beach holiday spot

Our luxury villa was perfect for our 7 night stay at Sugar Beach for our Honeymoon. The beaches and pool were never crowded. Our plunge pool made for perfect late afternoons to catch some last minute sun and sip on a beer or cocktail in the privacy of our own villa. Our meals were incredible. We never needed to leave the resort, but we did have dinner one evening at Ladera and dessert and a drink at Hotel Chocol??t (both excellent). We were so well taken care of by the resort staff. They were willing to do just about anything to make our stay more enjoyable. Definitely recommend taking advantage of the spa. We hiked the Gros Piton and took a Sunset Sail. The memories we made here will last a lifetime... or until we can make another trip down to St. Lucia!

We stayed at Sugar Beach as part of our honeymoon. Overall, we had a great time. Our villa was gorgeous and private and we loved having our own pool. The rooms are stunning, the beds are super comfy. Room Service and nightly turn down service was great, they always left you little goodies on the end table. The resort itself is stunning! Everything from the views, to the rooms, to all the little details are all gorgeous. However, with all of that being said - EVERYTHING on the resort is ridiculously over priced and left us feeling annoyed and taken advantage of. I should preface this by saying we are from New York City & are no stranger to expensive food/drinks and we have no problem paying good money for high quality meals with great service. However, this was not the case here- this was just a case of price gauging. we constantly felt we were being ripped off which really put a damper on the mood. For example, we went to order room service 1 day for lunch - for ONE burger it was 52$!!! This type of thing was constant.... They charge you 14$ at restaurants for water even when you just ask for tap water and i probably took 2 sips. another day we were bored so we decided to do a nature walk which i had researched and found, we asked our butler if he could get us a taxi... he did and we went to a nice 45 min nature trail walk, when we got our bill at the end of our stay, the hotel charged us 168$ for a ???excursion??? for the nature walk - it was not an excursion through the hotel, it was a nature walk we did on our own, all the hotel did was call us a taxi. RIDICULOUS !!! we simply asked our butler for a taxi, if i had known they would charge us 168$ for it I would have called a taxi on my own. The food at the restaurants was good but not worth the high price tags and small portions. One night we went to Ladera for drinks and prices there are about half the price then Sugar Beach.... literally my drink was 10$ less there then it was at Sugar Beach. Luckily for us breakfast was included and it was delicious, however, service often lacked at breakfast and it was often a struggle just to get water. This should NOT be occurring at a resort with such high prices. If you want to charge extraordinarily high prices then you NEED to deliver in service and quality and the resort unfortunately did not. Even though the resort was stunning, I can honestly say I do not think I could recommend staying here simply because of the ridiculous prices on EVERYTHING.
