Sugar Beach a Viceroy Resort

We visited the sugar beach resort for our 6th anniversary - and dines at the Bonte restaurant. From the moment we arrived we were made very welcome. Directed where to park and a shuttle arranged to take us to the beach. bonte was great the service was amazing and the food very good - we recommend the lobster nachos .. A special shout out to our lovely server Sherma who must have overheard us talking and presented us with an anniversary cake at the end of our meal .. stunning service. This is a must visit.

We went with two other couples for our friends 40th birthday and it was truly a bucket list trip! The resort is incredible and I think whether you’re going with friends, a spouse, or family it is an amazing choice. It is pricey but well worth the money !!! The food is incredible at every restaurant and drinks were delicious as well. The service was great all around and everything was beautifully decorated and super clean. I’m gonna end with my favorite part of the whole stay and that was the views!!! You cannot get a better location on all of St. Lucia- nestled in between the Pitons. It’s simply breathtaking and you have to see it to truly appreciate it. Book this report !!!

We had an amazing stay at this hotel, it was only short and we wish we could have stayed longer but it was very memorable! We had originally booked a room in the main hotel (Sugar Mill) but were upgraded to a luxury villa and it surpassed all our expectations. It was such a luxury to have our own plunge pool and the furniture/decor and whole experience were beautiful. It was immaculately clean and well kept and the staff were lovely. It looks exactly like the pictures. The location of the resort was stunning and not too busy, though it may have reflected the time of year that we stayed (end of Oct). Snorkelling off the northern beach was incredible, some of the best we've ever seen and we often book holidays based on snorkelling reports! The only down side was the confusion about where we were "allowed" to snorkel. It seems that the access to the marine reserve area is restricted but it was unclear as to who restricted this or whether hotel guests had to pay. It would be nice if the hotel could make this clearer to guests as we were approached several times by 3rd party sellers on the beach. We enjoyed the snorkelling where it was less busy (slightly to the left of the marine reserve, straight off the beach) and this area was not restricted.

Where do I begin. Let's start with the concierge arranged drive from the airport to the resort. I asked the concierge service to arrange for an SUV service. I knew the roads from long ago and asked for SUV for safety and space, Edward picked us up in a Cadillac SUV. Edward is a former head of a local high school. The stories of the history of St. Lucia were an incredible start to our week. Long story short, we requested him for our trip back to the airport. Now, the resort. Unbelievable beauty, I literally can't describe how incredible this resort is. Location? You're on a beach where yachts worth millions of dollars park just to enjoy the beauty of Sugar Beach. Service? I have heard Michelin star reviewers will drop forks to see how long it takes staff to pick it up and replace it. I saw a couple leave a dip on the beach, only to have it replaced and placed under a towel. The client was amazed there was a replacement at their seat when they came back. At the Cane Bar, I personally made a game of reaching to fill my water glass before my waiter (my man Jimminy) could do so. I lost every time. Location 10/10 Service 10/10 Value 10/10 (but not cheap) As far as money goes, this place isn't cheap. They cater to a specific clientele. They know what they are and that's ok. Just know the room rate is just part of your overall bill. Between the 10% tax and service charges (another 10% that is split between all staff), and tips, your bill will grow quickly. There is an all-inclusive option, but I personally didn't think it was worth it at $660 USD per couple per night). I had the breakfast buffet ($50 USD per person), skipped lunch and had dinner (that I would estimate at $150 per person per night across the different restaurants and room service). Drinks are ridiculously expensive. Still (tap) water at the table? That's $5 USD for a plastic bottle of water. That was slightly grating. I don't believe still (tap) water should come at a charge. A local beer (Piton - good beer) in the room fridge is $5 USD, but it's much smaller than a regular beer in the U.S. An even smaller Heineken is $9. That's the price of paradise I suppose. Just stock up at the duty free is my best advice. All in all, you get what you pay for a stay at Sugar Beach. If you are considering staying at the property, ignore all the reviews that talk about visiting the beach. That is an apples-to-oranges comparison.

We went to Sugar Beach for our honeymoon and every aspect of our trip was incredible!! It is absolutely peak luxury from start to finish. The rooms are gorgeous, the view is truly breathtaking, the food and drinks are incredible, and the amenities are top notch. Plus every staff member was so friendly and welcoming, they made us feel like such valued guests. They remembered our names and certain details about us, and those little moments just made the trip even more memorable. I can’t recommend Sugar Beach enough! We went during their rainy season but it was still beautiful; it rained for maybe 30 minutes a day but it was a welcome, refreshing break from the heat and passed quickly. The only word of warning is for those who have motion sickness - the drive from the airport is really challenging, but I knew this going in, took the medication I needed and was fine.
