I had a wonderful stay at Sugar Bay, where the staff truly made an impact with their warm and funny personalities. The beach is stunning, and the food at the buffet and specialty restaurants was mostly delicious, although Sizzle fell short for me. My room was spacious but needed a little TLC. Overall, it was a great holiday, although some facilities could use improvements, and I'm not sure if I'd return as there are other areas of Barbados to explore.
