Customer service was excellent, rooms were great, very kid friendly hotel. My only criticism is the old, outdated, dirty rugs everywhere. It makes no sense to have carpet on a beach front property, it’s unhygienic.

Sugar Beach has really gone downhill. Someone was banging on our door and other doors at 1:30am and the police had to be called. We checked out early the next morning. No one from the hotel has made contact apologizing. Also, no hot breakfast buffet like other hotels and the room was not clean and felt dated.

Great location, wonderful beach and easy access, hotel staff was friendly, hotel was clean but interior room decor is very outdated (bed sheets did not fit bed properly so always fighting with the sheet to stay on the mattress). Breakfast boxes are a great idea but the offerings didn't seem to be fresh. But overall we enjoyed our stay.
