Great experience. Pretty much everything has been said already. Best thing about the place was the food. It was great!!! It's a bit more expensive than other restaurants in the area, but was well worth it.

Stayed in #29 upstairs on the ocean. Hotel and restaurant staff went above and beyond. Restaurant food was exceptional although not cheap, but worth the price. Clean and very quiet. The location is quite remote...take the beach shortcut (over the rocks, at low tide) if you want to save yourself at least 20 minutes to get to the nearest grocery... More

After booking a room for a family of 4, I had questions and Gabriela promply emailed back replies. We did not rent a car, so taxi in and out. Ingrid and Sujeily found us the desired tours that would pick up at the hotel. All 3 of these ladies are incredible! The food is fantastic and the wait staff as... More

After an initial small room mix-up (needed 2 beds but got 1 at first), we were shown to a lovely room with fantastic deck - more like an outdoor living room - right on the ocean. And from then on, the stay was quiet and restful and recommended. Sugar Beach is a fairly isolated private beach in a spot that... More

This place is fantastic! The rooms were very nice and comfortable, the service was great, and the food was amazing. The staff was very accommodating, and able to work around allergies and food preferences. I have celiac disease, and although much of their food is naturally gluten free, they prepared many of my dishes on separate equipment to avoid cross... More

I recently stayed at Sugar Beach Hotel and I can't say enough about the property and its staff. Upon our arrival we were greeted by friendly, welcoming staff that guided us to our villa even at 11pm. The room was beyond impressive. Stylish and private with a stunning view and huge wrap around balcony. The staff at the restaurant were... More

We stayed here for 4-5 days in mid March, 2013. I wish we had found the place earlier and we would have stayed longer. The location is awesome, on its own white sand beach, with rather calm waves you can actually play in safely. the rooms are large and very clean, modern and well-equipped with a small refridgerator, coffee maker,...

We had several dinners at this restaurant. We did not live in the hotel, but we loved the location. The restaurant patio is overlooking the ocean and the park ; we were there at sunset, and the image of diving pelicans with the background of the violet red sky is unforgettable. The chef will greet us every time and give... More
