The hotel itself creates a romantic setting with it's idyllic beaches and gourmet dining, but if you do have the kids in tow, the Sun Kids Club has daily itineraries to ensure they have their own adventure; giving you time to relax at the chic Buddha Beach Bar with a cocktail in hand.

We absolutely loved our stay at Sugar Beach. It was jaw dropping beauty from the minute we arrived. Beautifully maintained buildings with impeccable green lawns, endless palm trees and the best live music and DJ for Sundowner’s. The staff were incredibly friendly. We loved our garden room and the pillows and linen were heaven. There were a few slight disappointments- one being that there are not enough waiters by the pool. The one day there was only one waiter (Luca), who had to serve the entire poolside himself so waiting on drinks and food was at times very delayed. The curio shops clothing and bikinis were very expensive for South African markets (about R7000 Rupees a piece), and we found it quiet annoying that we had to book at the restaurants in advance as from day one most of the restaurants we wanted to eat at were full for dinner and we preferred to eat by the sea and not at a buffet/patio however the buddah bar did make provisions for us most nights but do feel their kids menu needs improvement as at times it feels alot of the guests at the buddah bar aren’t hotel guests and that’s why they were always full and the hotel guests should take preference. Other than that- we loved it so very much. Big thank you to Luca, Fazeel, Jimmie (La Pirogue) for their great service. Read less
