Synes godt om: Rengøring
Good overall value - but can't totally recommend to friends and family
Overall good. The pluses here are the low density of the development, it's mellow - assuming you want that. Very quiet in the ocean front units. The back units get more road noise.
I knocked one star off cleanliness as the place just has an overall musty scent to it. (more on that later).
The biggest downside to this place, and generally Sugar Beach now is the unpredictable beach and water conditions. Sugar beach can be very beautiful, but particularly in the rainy season it can get very muddy. There is a big drainage that comes into the bay here from upcountry. For the past few years when they get heavy rains that drainage ditch gets totally overwhelmed. It floods into the bay, all kinds of gross stuff. It makes the beach area pretty much useless. All kinds of stuff washes up on the beach, and the water turns brown and it's essentially not swimmable. So that makes for a buzz kill for your beachfront vacation. My understanding is this only happens in rainy season. So the rest of the time is likely fine.
They have two pools. But I don't think they are heated at all, so if you like a warm pool to swim in - you won't get that here. Also for me it's a drawback that there's no Hot Tub. But if you don't care about such things it's obviously NBD there. Here you really trade off the "resort pool" scene for less crowds and very mellow.
Finally - when they do get flooding here in the rainy season they now have a big flood gate they install..
