When my flight was delayed for nearly two hours and I missed my connection, I decided to book another night. I was once again helped by “Razor” Ramon, who showed incredible professionalism and kindness — even while his own family back home in Jamaica was affected by Hurricane Melissa. His positive spirit really stood out. Thank you to the entire Sugar Beach Resort team for always taking great care of me and my son. Stay Strong, Jamaica! 🇯🇲

I enjoyed our room, which was very clean and quiet. But most of all, a balcony overlooking the water, put the perfect touch to the room. The staff was helpful, friendly, and there always was coffee. :-)

The room was lovely & view amazing. The bed looked so inviting & comfy. All staff were wonderful & the beach was kept clean, neat & beautiful. Was so pleased with how quiet the grounds were- even when the beach filled up. Loved the convenience of TC water sports right on the premises too. Thank you. Rate of room per night was a bit pricey.
