Wonderful Stay!

We loved this hotel and the convenience of not having to travel to the beach. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Bonus points for having Starbuck's coffee in the room. The boxed breakfasts were nice, although it would be nice to substitute some items. We will definitely come back again.
Susan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was lovely & view amazing. The bed looked so inviting & comfy. All staff were wonderful & the beach was kept clean, neat & beautiful. Was so pleased with how quiet the grounds were- even when the beach filled up. Loved the convenience of TC water sports right on the premises too. Thank you. Rate of room per night was a bit pricey.

Comfortable, clean, and beautiful views!

We had a great time at Sugar Beach Resort! It's very clean, you constantly see staff picking up garbage, straightening chairs, and cleaning up around the beach. The boxed breakfasts aren't anything exciting but it was convenient and punctual. We enjoyed beautiful sunset views, a comfortable room, and friendly service. We would certainly return!

Friendly Staff and Very clean

Staff are so friendly and helpful and check in via text to make sure you are satisfied. The room is spacious and all areas are very clean. Coffee is available in the lobby 24/7 which is great for an early riser. Bed was too firm for my back but all else was very good. Continental Breakfast is delivered to room for everyone at your chosen time.
