Amazing for the price.
This was a wonderful place to stay. When you can see that a place is older, you wonder if the pictures will match reality and they absolutely did. I still can’t believe that I was able to get a room with a beach walkout at such an affordable price. The pool was heated and well maintained and there was plenty of room for a relaxing walk on the beach. We certainly hope to stay here again.

Soul renewal
Our stay in October could not have been any better. It was just what we needed to rejuvenate our spirit after a near fatal accident 2 months prior. The staff was so friendly and helpful and accommodating by giving us a room that was beach walk up and a walk in shower because steps and stairs are challenging due to my husbands injuries. The staff was amazing. The room was clean and comfortable and spacious. The kitchenette was perfectly equipped for cooking for two. Parking was a breeze, we parked in front of our room every time. We love this place, and the price didn't break the bank. A super value . We will come back here every time. The location was perfect, it was quiet and relaxing and the view was great with beautiful sunsets. Serenity at its best. The only down side to our stay is that it wasn't long enough.

All good things come to an end eventually!
We have stayed at sugar sands several times. When we stayed there in 2011 for our honeymoon it was wonderful. We stayed several times after for family vacation. We stopped staying there the past few years because the price became very expensive. This time was our 13 year anniversary and it was off season and very reasonably priced so we tried it again. Not what we expected. 1St off our room wasn't ready when we got there at 4:30 pm. We didn't get to check in until 6:30 pm. They informed us that they are short staffed... understandable. Upon entering the room we were greeted with the stench of alcohol. Lightbulbs missing. The only switch for lights for the whole place was in the hall bunk bed area.. weird. 2 dim lights in the bedroom with a switch on the bedside table. We used our 📲 to find them. There was a 3 ft bubble on the ceiling where I guess there was a leak above. The ceiling above the bunk beds was black/grey and flaking all over the top bunk. We weren't using it anyways. The ceiling in the bathroom was black and moldy above the shower, but the rest of the bathroom was new. The equipped kitchen had very little accessories. It used to be very accommodating. Once bought out and ran by new owners/ resort the condition is deteriorating quickly. We stayed and made the best of the situation. The beach there is quite and beautiful. Probably won't go back again .

Lovely Stay
Great stay!! But first off, this isn’t a fancy, brand new hotel. It’s been around a minute and probably weathered a ton of storms, BUT it was clean and right on the beach. It has a kitchenette which was SUPER handy. I could listen to the ocean waves and also the pool was right outside my door. ALSO, just Steps to the beach. The girls in the office were super sweet and very helpful. The only complaint I have is the beds weren’t the most comfortable but I’ve seen worse. I would still and probably definitely will stay here again! We’ll be back for sure. Easy peesy for just me and my hubby.

2/10 Poor

Beautiful ocean view, that said I wouldn’t stay here again! We booked a big beautiful room for us to stay with our son & his girl. We got there to check in & nothing but problems. The man there said I didn’t book that suite, then he said there weren’t any left, come to find out this happened to six other people!!! No manager on duty he shakes his phone at me & says she’s not responding to him! What a joke!! Overpriced for place that’s run down & needs serious upgrades!! Bottom line if you can, stay somewhere else & if you can’t bring extra toilet paper because they only give you 1 roll!!

The hotel is economical but surpassed expectations. The room was spacious and well-equipped. The check-in was easy, professional, and welcoming. Eduardo has great customer service and its a great when it comes comes to multitasking the hotel is away from the bigger croweded hotels there the beach was quite and not crowded. Sugars also is the front beach and the supper easy access to the beach
