Sugar Beach a Viceroy Resort

Great view ...Great food..Great staff Especially the saltwood restaurant team.. They pay attention to details giving you that wow service.

A delightful hotel with a perfect location between the two pitons. It is a paradise to stay in and has plenty of activities with some of the best scuba diving we have ever done, whilst the climb up gros piton was quite exceptional, as was the visit to the sulphur springs. The customer service is faultless throughout and special thanks to Elijah, Mervin and Vitos at the dive centre who are amongst the best dive instructors we have scuba dived with, particularly helping both kids get their diving certificates. Our butler Ned was super helpful too. The only downside about this resort is the catering/F&B prices, they need to look more closely at the price point as the only location that is vaguely acceptable on price is at the Jetty Burgers site. We are quite keen on buffet, but the buffet offering we were quoted was $135 per head for a theme buffet, which seems out of touch with reality given we are just likely to consume a mixed plate of main course and something for dessert- there was a small discount for kids, but since they are unlikely to eat more than a burger and fries the price is exorbitant.

After going back and forth between possible resorts, I am thrilled I settled on Sugar Beach. It is truly a prize in the middle of an oasis. I opted to stay in a beachfront bungalow, which was worth every cent. Vacation is about walking out of your beachfront room to enjoy the views and napping in your hammock. I considered Ladera, but the three-wall concept was not for me. I did opt to have dinner at Ladera during sunset, and the views are amazing, but as soon as the sun went down, the crickets and the mosquitoes made me happy that I chose Sugar Beach. I want to thank Felicia and Michaela, who ensured we were happy and celebrated my birthday. Special thanks to Maurcia at Terrace Restaurant for making me feel like family. Thanks to the morning groundkeepers who always passed by while I was sitting in the outdoor lounge chair to check in on my husband and me Thanks to Blaze on the beach for caring for us and making St Lucia feel like home. I am forever grateful, and I will be back.

We stayed at Sugar Beach for 12 days in July and truly enjoyed every minute of our trip. If you’re contemplating staying at Sugar Beach — just do it! This resort offers the best beach, unbeatable views of the iconic Pitons, luxurious lodging, and an incredible staff that goes above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable. From the moment we arrived we were taken care of with a warm welcome at the resort. The July weather was mostly perfect, with only two brief rainy days that brought stunning rainbows. Our remodeled deluxe cottage in the 600s offered a lush jungle view, a distant ocean view, and a private plunge pool (which we didn’t use much — the beach and main pool were just too good to pass up!). The location was convenient for walking, but shuttles were always available, and the butlers were incredibly helpful and attentive. We loved the thoughtful daily touches, like spa skincare products left by housekeeping. Each morning we began the day with a gorgeous walk to the beach and then to the generous buffet breakfast with panoramic views of the Pitons. The food easily kept us going most of the day. The rainforest spa was a highlight, and we also booked fantastic boat tours right from the beach with Solomon’s. Don’t miss the Friday Night Gros Islet Street Party — it was one of our favorite experiences. Be sure to go off property and explore the Soufriere area. We used Golden Ticket for private transportation and created our own off-property adventures, eating local food, and visiting less touristy local attractions. Yes, food and drinks at the resort are pricey, but many activities are complimentary: snorkeling, kayaking, gym access, relaxing poolside or on the beach, and scenic walks on the beach and around the property. We were given 2 Sugar Beach water bottles which we used to fill up in hydration stations around the resort. The resort also offers a free Sunset Happy Hour on Wednesdays — a beautiful way to wind down the day. Everywhere you turn, there are breathtaking views, friendly staff members, and a sense of relaxation and luxury that’s hard to beat. We can’t recommend Sugar Beach Viceroy enough!

After much research, my wife and I decided to go to Sugar Beach about ten years ago. They gave never given us a reason to even consider another resort We've gone back several times and we don't consider other alternatives because the resort itself is gorgeous, the villas (each with a small pool) are beautiful, the food is varied and excellent, and most importantly, this resort has the best staff anywhere. Everyone is SO friendly and accommodating and you're always met with a smile and a nice comment. The food is varied - from the beach restaurant (Bonte) to the high end Saltwood. And the service and menu on the beach are fantastic. I really just can't say enough about this place!
