Sugar Cane Club Hotel and Spa

My family did not stay at the hotel, but recently enjoyed a wonderful Mother’s Day lunch at one of the restaurants. The food was delicious, well-prepared and authentically Bajan. Everything we had was delicious, especially the Bajan soup. Yum! What really made the day extraordinary was the staff. I’ll start with the chef, Yvette, who not only prepared an exceptional buffet, but also took the time to answer questions about her preparations. Shout out also to Tracie, the pastry chef, for her mouth-watering desserts. Special thanks to the hostess, Norene and our server Shanicia (sp) who made us feel very welcomed. Thanks also to the two young men, Redazzo and Wendell, for assisting our mom who was using a walker. I wish I had gotten everyone’s name, but kudos to the entire staff working that day. Everyone went above and beyond to make our day special. Job well done!! One suggestion: It would be nice to have this authentically Bajan buffet offered monthly - at least- and not just for special occasions.

Room - it felt like a small apartment. I loved it. When I go to hotel rooms I usually wipe down surfaces and things im going to use. The room was surprisingly very clean to the point where we could walk around bare foot. Housekeeping comes to clean and mop everyday. They were very friendly and did a great job. However, I wish there was dish soap to wash dishes myself. I also wished the TV was in the bedroom instead of the living room. Additionally, I had a problem with the shower. To get to hotel water, you have to turn the knob all the way around. However, the more you turn, the harder the water comes out and the faster it builds on the floor. You have stop showering every 20 seconds to let the water drain if you are using the hot water. Service - Service was great. No issues. The staff answered my questions and was accommodating. Location - It is far from everything else but I loved that. It wasn't noisy and there wasn't a bunch of people crowding the pool. It was so peaceful and relaxing. There was so much room to walk around. I did laps around the hotel to walk off the food since I got full. My partner has a bigger appetite and did not get full from dinner but enjoyed that there was room to walk around. I'm 25 but I would live / retired here if i could afford it.

3/5 Overall experience We're in our 30s and was too quiet of a place to enjoy. While walking from room to reception, it often felt "too quiet" as if there weren't people around but there were. Im guessing this is a place for you if you’re quiet and enjoy time around retired folk as most activities were catered to that age group. Pool was kinda small and as I said felt wrong to laugh aloud and have some fun.

Stay here prior to a Caribbean cruise the room was a good size and had views of the sea, evening meals were a little disappointing at the buffet by the pool and in the garden where they appeared to run out of food. Located in the north of the island. It was fine for a few days.

Sugar Cane Review – Sept 25, 14 nights, All Inclusive Group: 8 persons in 4 garden bungalows Overall: We had a really lovely stay. The welcome drinks and cold towels were a thoughtful touch after a long journey. Food The food was excellent. Guests can enjoy à la carte dining three nights a week, with the other evenings reserved for themed nights such as Caribbean Night, BBQ, Fish Fry, and International Buffet. Breakfast started out as table service but switched to buffet style after two days. The buffet service was a little shaky at first, but it was clear the team was making an effort to get it right. Once it settled, it actually worked better than the menu breakfasts. Restaurants are rotated depending on the theme—sometimes in the Chattel Bar (lower down on the complex) and sometimes poolside—keeping things fresh and interesting. Most drinks are included all day, with only imported brands (like Guinness or champagne) at an extra cost. Rooms Rooms were comfortable and clean, with well-functioning air conditioning. Any maintenance issues were dealt with promptly. Staff The staff are excellent—friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. Special thanks to Rohan, the bartender, and Tameshka, waitress/bartender, who went above and beyond in friendliness and service. Extras Lots of activities are included—just ask at reception. Options include: Glass-bottom boat tour Guided gully walk Salsa dancing (we didn’t try this one) Cocktail demonstrations Cooking demonstrations Free shuttle into Speightstown or to the beach On themed nights there’s live music, with some performers taking requests and encouraging dancing and singalongs, which made for fun evenings. Laundry: Available at an extra cost of 8 BBD per token. Downsides Arrival: One of our rooms wasn’t ready, resulting in a long wait in the heat after a long flight. Drinks were offered, but it would have been better if staff had suggested waiting in the air-conditioned Green Monkey Lounge by the pool. Not knowing it was there made the wait uncomfortable. Location: The hotel is farther from the beach than many others. If you’re aware of this, it’s fine, but hiring a car is recommended if you want to explore. In compensation, the hotel offers plenty of included outings. Food variety: The à la carte menu stays the same throughout, so unless you vary your choices it can feel repetitive. Desserts are also always the same, which became a running joke in our group. At the Chattel Bar, dessert options are more limited since ice cream isn’t available (they said it’s too far from the kitchen). Lunches were generous portions, and most days we didn’t have room for dessert anyway. On the two poolside nights, there was more variety, and after a few days the team also made an effort to add some gluten-free options. One missed step was that food intolerances and allergies weren’t asked about on arrival. For example, when the gluten-free guest in our party found out the chicken was breaded (though not listed on the menu), staff asked them to complete a form—something that should have been done from the start. Music: On Fish Fry nights at the Chattel Bar, the music was too loud for the small space, making conversation difficult. Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi password changed midway through our stay, but no notice was left in the rooms. We only found out by word of mouth from other guests. The connection itself was patchy, especially in the mornings and evenings. Highlights Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, especially Rohan and Tameshka. A quieter atmosphere (thanks to visiting off-season), meaning lots of space and peace. Great variety of themed nights and entertainment.
