"Perfect Family Resort"

Sugar Beach is the perfect stay for your family. Our son loved the game room and pool. We especially liked our room with the beach side patio. Breakfast being delivered to your room is a nice treat as well no wrangling kids to get dressed and go down for breakfast. Overall a great place to stay!
