Perfect for couples, friends and families, Sugar Bay oozes boho-chic style and radiates a serene atmosphere allowing you to completely unwind in paradise. Guest rooms suit all types of holidaymakers with spacious family suites ideal for larger groups, all of which have great views of the ocean, the pool or the lush, green gardens. Being just a few metres from the calmest seas of the south coast, water sports are very much the order of the day with plenty available. Aside from taking a swim in the cool Caribbean Sea, there are also two swimming pools to laze by and a fitness centre for enthusiasts. Otherwise, head to Karma Spa for a spot of well-deserved pampering. Whilst the adults are at play, the kids have their very own children’s club, offering beach games, competitions and opportunities for exploring. Teens aren’t left out; they can hang together in the clubhouse, an adult no-go area! Dining is a joy, as Sugar Bay Barbados boasts more dining options than most hotels in Barbados!

Just returned home after an amazing holiday at Sugar Bay Barbados.
The hotel and rooms are fabulous, as is the food in the buffet and the two restaurants. The entertainment is excellent on an evening and there's a fabulous steel band on certain lunch times. The staff all go above and beyond, nothing is too much trouble and they are all so courteous, genuinely friendly and eager to help. There are too many to mention but a special thanks to the following, in no particular order ! Lucas, Samantha ( for my room), Joan, Helen, Aliyah S, Nicolai, Justin, Akiel and Deeannera you all made it a very special holiday for me. Will be back next year and cannot wait to see you all again.
Highly recommended and for solo travellers, incredibly safe and welcoming.

Well I've read some negative reviews and I don't think some of them are on the same island. This place is clean, well run, and in the best location on the island, we were in 352, at the back of the resort, with a very private balcony, away from the pool and bar, with entertainment also at acceptable levels. Food for us was absolutely great, plenty of choice, the main reason for booking this resort was it's intimate size, as apposed to the, hilton, raddison, and the like along the coast, bring beach shoes as it's a bit rocky in some places in the lagoon, this was our second time in Barbados and was better than expected, and as mentioned in other reviews, the Staff, amazing, helpful in all aspects of the resort, so much so we've booked again this November, can't wait, you'll not be disappointed here 😀.
