We have stayed before and love the Sugar Cane Club but there are some issues that will make us think twice about visiting again. Most of our concerns were echoed by other guests. 1. Whilst some staff are lovely ( especially Karene in reception, Christian in Maintenance , Taimeishia in the bar, Laval in the gardens) some were very grumpy, and at times outright rude - especially in the restaurant. 2. The chain smokers at the pool. From morning to sunset- they sat between the 2 shaded sunbed areas and we had a faceful of smoke every time we tried to get some shade by the pool. We found other guests were also avoiding that area for the same reason. They even brought out their restaurant meals and continued to smoke through lunch so no reprieve. Sugar Cane Club PLEASE join other more thoughtful hotels and ban smoking in all public areas used by other guests. 3. Many other all inclusive guests said the food was just OK and repetitive. We noticed it was significantly more expensive if paying for food than other local restaurants and not as good if eating out. Lots of people complained about slow service even when several staff present. They looked really unhappy. On a positive note we loved the spacious rooms. Tremaine was very helpful when taking us to the beach each day. And we met some lovely people in the hotel and town. Read less

Not your usual all inclusive. More like full board with drinks. 2 restaurants with table service which was invariably very slow. We found some of the restaurant staff to be surly and occasionally downright rude. Food was generally very nice with bbq by the pool on some days, buffet dinner on others. Good choice to choose from and menus were alternated. Breakfast was another story. Cheap ingredients and a tatty, sparse set up. Old heated serving equipment and a bread warmer with a door hanging off and a flickering light inside it. There seemed to be a shortage of butter one morning. Afternoon tea was a bit of a joke with a paltry offering of sandwiches and a piece of cake. Probably our main issue was with the bar service. The pool bar was staffed by the most miserable young woman who barely cracked a smile. Would ask How can I help? and then sigh that she had to get drinks. That bar was disorganised with no iced water ready, no beer and no gin one morning. 2 of the other bars both ran out of brandy. We found it extremely difficult to get hold of an ashtray and only did so despite multiple requests to numerous members of staff, by making a bit of a fuss. Seemed that there was a staff shortage with staff multi tasking. Did not give the impression of a happy ship. On the positive side, the gardens and staff are beautiful and pleasant, especially Leval Corbin. All groundsmen were super polite, pleasant , smiley and enjoyed talking about what they did. There are no children so quiet on that front. The atmosphere is super relaxing and peaceful….until you go to try and get a drink! The hotel and rooms are very clean and the bed we had was really comfortable. There are plenty of sun beds and towels for outside are replaced frequently. The wild life is wonderful including bats, geckos, monkeys, birds and frogs. It’s very tropical. It is a 50 min drive to the airport which we were aware of but was a bit too far for us and I think we’ll do beach front next time round. Clientele are mainly 65 + or were with few exceptions when we stayed. Many were return visitors but without fail commented that standards had slipped. Lots of people coming and going to and from cruise ships. Remember insect repellent! Sorry Sugar Cane, but we won’t be returning. Read less

We stayed for 6 nights at Sugar Cane Club and whilst the rooms were lovely and the reception area and bar were also lovely, the hotel is not one we would come back to. We booked through Expedia on room only as we wanted to explore Speightstown rather than stay all inclusive and that’s where our issues with the hotel lie. The hotel advertises 3 bars and 2 restaurants but does not say they are on rotation so in the evening there is only ever 1 bar and 1 restaurant open ( if you are not all inclusive then the food is very expensive and not nearly as nice as the restaurants in Speightstown), the pool bar closes at 6 as does the pool so it felt very regimented. When we booked the hotel also advertised that thereu was a beach club that guests had use of, but we were told that they no longer offer that when we arrived, no notification before we arrived so that washing a big disappointment for us. The staff are all very polite and friendly and the housekeeping staff do a great job, we enjoyed our stay it’s just not one for a return visit for us. Read less

A last-minute booking a week before travelling to this resort. It was our 6th visit here and 12th to Barbados. It's not for everyone, but we enjoy the peaceful adult vibe. Booking late, we had a virgin super saver room, which we love the layout as the telly is in the bedroom but won't use again as our room was 406 right above the store cupboard and a fan that vibrates into the room. They did turn it off after a second night and offer us a different room, but once we unpacked, i hate, having to move. Most wouldn't be bothered by the noise, but im the worst sleeper. Grounds are immaculate, and there's no shortage of sunbeds, unlike some hotels in barbados. Everything else was great. Food is above average. Occasionally, we had to wait a little longer than normal, and once our order was missed completely but ryan saved the day and sorted it quickly, even delivering our desert to our room. The staff are all great, if you're friendly they are aswell. The glass bottom boat trip is free and great. The bus runs regularly down to the beach. heywoods beach is a must to spend a couple of hours. We also took the trip to the market and really enjoyed a stroll round there. Will be back but will be asking for the quietest room they have. See you in the next year or two sugar cane. Read less
