Favorite hotel in TC

Sugar Beach is our favorite place to stay in TC. Very clean rooms and common areas; private well-maintained beach with chairs, lounges and umbrellas; close to lots of restaurants and other activities. Highly recommend!
Dawn, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable, clean, and beautiful views!

We had a great time at Sugar Beach Resort! It's very clean, you constantly see staff picking up garbage, straightening chairs, and cleaning up around the beach. The boxed breakfasts aren't anything exciting but it was convenient and punctual. We enjoyed beautiful sunset views, a comfortable room, and friendly service. We would certainly return!

Friendly Staff and Very clean

Staff are so friendly and helpful and check in via text to make sure you are satisfied. The room is spacious and all areas are very clean. Coffee is available in the lobby 24/7 which is great for an early riser. Bed was too firm for my back but all else was very good. Continental Breakfast is delivered to room for everyone at your chosen time.
