My wife and I had the opportunity to celebrate our anniversary at this hotel. Upon our arrival, everything was wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience, which led us to extend our stay. However, the only available options were upgraded units, which unfortunately turned out to be worse than our previous room. The room had visible cracks and was infested with ants. After moving to the new room, we also sensed a change in the attitude of the staff, who appeared to be displeased with us for requesting assistance from a different location. We had a fantastic experience in Room 306 and feel it’s unfair to have paid more for a downgraded room with no view or privacy. This was meant to be a special week for my wife and me. The one aspect we consistently enjoyed was the food.

Sugar Beach is ‘heaven of earth’. Beyond achieving its luxury status on all accounts what makes Sugar Beach stand out to me was its astonishingly beautiful location and beach nestled between the Pitons, and without any exceptions, the most welcoming, professional and attentive staff, led from the front by the senior management team who were all ever present to ensure the most exceptional customer service. We are rebooking for next year already.

Exceptional location and property. Photos do not do it justice. The beach is beautiful and perfect for swimming and snorkelling, it gets deep quickly so may not be the best for families or people who can’t swim. Staff were all lovely and attentive. We stayed in a beach bungalow which exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend this hotel.

There was absolutely nothing my husband and I didn’t love above about Sugar Beach. The entire staff not only anticipated our needs but fulfilled all our wants and desires. Dining options and the exquisite, delicious and decadent foods made it impossible to "stick to the diet." Everything is freshly prepared and always with a smile. We were there to celebrate our 10th Wedding anniversary and staff made sure it was memorable and special. Shia, Richanna, Winnie, Lawrencia, Clotee, Ames, Damius, Liam, Danny, Kandy, Moses, Yan and so many other enployees, staff and workers were absolute rockstar professionals to us who love their work at the resort. We will only stay at Sugar Beach when in St. Lucia! This highly trained staff know exactly how to make you feel like a VIP. It's a 10-star review and resort.

The surrounding areas are beautiful since hotel is located between the two mountains, beach is Cristal clear and beautiful color, the breakfast buffet is very nice and the Cane bar restaurant is delicious and excellent services. Staff is ok not the most courteous/friendly one but adécuate (except for Derby at the Bonte restaurant and all staff at Cane Bar, súper friendly and nice). I was expecting more from this hotel, I’m not disappointed but neither I’m impressed. I will stay here again just for the breathtaking views and the amazing beach.

We came here on our honeymoon. The quality of service here is unlike any other place we have experienced in the Caribbean. The grounds and the nature is so nice and lush, just like out of a fairytale. The staff here are attentive and take the time to learn your names and get to know you. They took care of our needs and went above and beyond in every aspect, from calling us shuttles, to helping us get the jelly out of the coconuts, to telling us about the lovely island. The beach is gorgeous and all the facilities are very tasteful. I cannot recommend this place enough.
