We travelled to Barbados as a group of 3 friends to celebrate a special birthday. From the moment we arrived at Sugar Bay we were made to feel welcome and were very well looked after. This is a lovely beach front hotel that has a relaxed atmosphere and non-pretentious. The hotel is in a good location to explore the island - within easy reach of Oistins (fish fry on a Friday is a must try - hotel can arrange transport for you), the museum etc. it is very easy to arrange trips via the concierge. The negatives of the hotel are that it is a little dated and tired in places (inefficient and noisy air conditioner in the room, some missing tiles and grout issues) and in places it could do with a deep clean - mainly the tiling. However I am still giving 5 star because the positives far outweigh the negatives. The food at this hotel is absolutely lovely, plentiful and full of flavour, different choices every day. Hats off to the chefs. The main star of the show at Sugar Bar are the staff. We found all staff to be very helpful, friendly and willing to have a chat and a laugh. They made the whole experience very enjoyable. The Bajan people are very warm and really know how to show you a good time. I have travelled extensively and would say they are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. The bar staff in particular were brilliant, a big should out to Nicholas, Jesus and Helen. Would recommend this hotel, don’t hesitate to book you will have the best time.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Sugar Bay with our 8-month-old daughter. Overall, we had a fantastic holiday and would happily return. The highlight has to be the food. It was honestly some of the best we've ever had on holiday, with so much variety and consistently excellent quality. A huge credit to the Food & Beverage Manager, who was incredibly friendly throughout our stay and even gifted our daughter a teddy in a Sugar Bay T-shirt, which was such a thoughtful touch. The service was excellent. Staff remembered our drinks orders, often had our usual table ready in the buffet, and our daughter's highchair would appear without us even asking. Special thanks to Helen, Joan and Jesus, as well as all of the wonderful waiters and waitresses who looked after us so well. The Crèche was another standout. It was spotless and so well run. A special thank you to Kaya, who made us feel completely at ease leaving our daughter, who absolutely adored her. It really allowed us to relax. The beach and pool are beautiful, Umi was outstanding, and our massages with Nakisha at Karma Spa was genuinely one of the best we've ever had. We'd also recommend the excursions organised through the hotel, particularly Pebbles Beach to see the racehorses being bathed (just remember to bring cash if you'd like photos or to interact with the horses). There were a few disappointments. We'd requested a ground-floor room several months before travelling due to having a baby and pram, but this wasn't accommodated, and we were told we'd need to pay for an upgrade. Carrying our sleeping daughter and pram upstairs each evening wasn't ideal and did affect our evenings. Checkout day was also difficult. Our transfer wasn't until late afternoon, but beyond a complimentary one-hour extension, there was little flexibility unless we paid an additional US$150. We understand policies have to be applied fairly, but a little discretion for families with young babies would have been appreciated. Getting a sunbed by the pool could also be challenging, and slightly longer buffet opening hours would make life easier for families with babies. Despite these points, the warmth of the staff, exceptional food, fantastic childcare and beautiful setting made this a holiday we'll remember very fondly. Thank you to everyone who made our first long-haul holiday with our daughter so special - we hope to return.

A family run hotel with a Team of staff always exceed your expectations. A perfect setting, beautiful rooms and great value for money. This little Paradise has been created with love and care

Where do I start! We were met with warmth and hospitality from the moment we checked in. There was a really friendly armosphere from the moment we arrived. Within two minutes, we were asked if we would like a drink, which we gladly accepted after a long flight. Check-in was seamless. You are issued with a lightweight sensor band, which is worn as part of your all-inclusive package, but it is also used to open the door to your room. Our room was an Ocean Front Family Suite, which was perfect as we have two teenagers who did not want to share a bed. It comprised a separate bedroom and, in the living area, a pull-out sofa bed and another single bed. The suite was very clean and spacious. I suffer with back pain and, although the beds were very comfortable and would not be an issue for the majority of people, I needed mine to be a little softer. When I enquired whether it would be possible to have a mattress topper, I was told, "No problem," and a super-padded topper was on my bed within an hour. Thank you! The view from our room was wonderful, and we all loved sitting on the balcony in the evenings before bed. We enjoyed snorkelling, paddle boarding and kayaking most days and hired a car to see the sights, including Harrison's Cave, which is a must-visit! If you hire a car, this is very easy to arrange through the hotel and is very reasonably priced too. We ate at the Reef Restaurant most mornings and evenings. I have to say, the buffet selection was brilliant—there was something for everyone and plenty of choice. I can't recall the name of the lady who makes the eggs at breakfast, but they were the best poached eggs I have ever had in my life! Tip: Lose a few pounds before you go to Sugar Bay! Colin's was also a great place to have lunch, and it served the best ice cream. I used the on-site Karma Spa twice—once for a facial and once for a body massage. Both treatments were amazing and reasonably priced, in my opinion. They're well worth treating yourself to! The pool, although shallow, is lovely and has a swim-up bar, but we personally preferred the beach. There were plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to have a toilet closer to the pool, as the nearest one requires you to walk back through the reception area. The sea is beautiful but does have quite a lot of coral in places, so I would recommend bringing swim shoes with you, especially if you plan to snorkel. For every three nights you stay, you can dine at one of the two speciality restaurants, Umi or Sizzle Steakhouse. We tried both during our ten-day stay. Tip: Try the chicken cashew dish at Umi—it's absolutely delicious! They also have an amazing Japanese chef. The arcade and games room were great for the teenagers, and my son enjoyed spending time there with the friends he made during our stay. The entertainmemt was good-some superb singers and dancers. It did not go on too late-which suited us. Finally, I have to mention some members of staff who really made our holiday extra special. Zakobi and Kyle, who work at the watersports centre, are simply wonderful and go out of their way to make sure you have a fantastic time. We miss them already! Thank you also to Jesus, Deangelo, Akiell, and the lovely Nicole, who works in the Sugar Bay gift shop (also well worth a visit). Pedro-one of the managers clearly appreciates his staff. It was lovely to meet him at the manager's cocktail evening. They are all a complete credit to Sugar Bay and should absolutely be recognised by management for their commitment, professionalism, and outstanding customer service. Thank you Sugar Bay-we will be back!

Our medical transplant team stayed at the hotel while working locally and couldn't have asked for a better stay. The staff were superb. They were so attentive and caring, and the rooms and facilites are just lovely. Thank you so much for making everyone so welcome
