“"Great stay at Sugar Ridge"”

The staff at Sugar Ridge is friendly and helpful, and offer a number of services to their guests such as a ride on a golf like cart to your room, which can be a relief with the hilly terrain of the hotel. Although we rented a vehicle and did not make use of the service, they had a shuttle to take guests to the beach, shopping, etc. The grounds are a beautiful and lush garden, with an infinity pool perched at the top of a bluff offering spectacular views. We did not eat at the restaurant, located here too, but heard good things from other guests. The food at the Sugar Club, the other place was very tasty. Our room had a balcony with a fine sea view and a plunge pool, which was nice to come home to after a hot day at the beach. Our room was very clean and comfortable with beautiful dark wood furniture and a modern, tasteful bathroom with a large shower. The only minor issues were that the maid service did not replace lotions and shampoos which we used up, and did not replace sheets until we took them off the bed. This could be their policy though. The location was outstanding for us in that there were several very pretty beaches only minutes away as are some great on the beach eating establishments. Overall the beaches on Antigua have got to be some of the most scenic in the world!! Overall we had a wonderful stay, although you would not choose this hotel if you wanted to stay right on the beach.

“Away from the fray”

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The management was trying hard to make guests comfortable and respond to any concerns. The layout is clean and modern and the room was very comfortable, with plenty of privacy and a nice view. The two restaurants were both excellent dinner choices (we skipped lunch or ate out.) The breakfast is a worthwhile addition to the reservation, not just a boring buffet but a full selection from menu. We were there over Christmas and the management did a nice job on Christmas eve, although the Christmas dinner itself was a bit of a disappointment (not as good as the standard menu, but pricier.) There was plenty to see and do for the five day stay - we do recommend going on some tours such as Adventure Eco Tour or Paddles as part of your visit. We pitied other tourists at loud, run down hotels we saw along the shore. Locals all said, oh, good choice! when we said where we were staying.

“A bit of Paradise on the Caribbean Islands”

Relax, Enjoy and Refresh yourself in Antigua. Beautiful waters in Antigua. Sugar Ridge Hotel is in a safe neighborhood and has an attentive staff that will take you to the neighborhood beaches and local hot spots where you can dip yourself in the smooth sand and the crystal waters of the Caribbean. Sip your beer slowly and squeeze a lime on your partner just for kicks while basking in the sun.

“Great resort”

I did have a slight problem with ants or other small insects. But nothing unexpected for the Caribbean. Overall, it was a great stay. The staff was excellent, and I will stay again.

“Great hotel”

We stayed in Sugar Ridge for 1 night in transit to Dominica from the UK. The Hotel staff were very friendly, the room was great (large and very comfortable with high standard fittings) with good views towards the sea. Dinner in the restaurant was of a very high standard - overall thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and would use the hotel again. To note: The hotel does not have direct access to the beach - but there are regular shuttle services from the hotel to the beach, and the hotel built on a very steep hill - golf carts are available to transport guests around the grounds and to the restaurant (which is on the top of the hill)

“Sugar Ridge Comfort”

We were impressed by all the staff we met; without exception they all put themselves out to make us welcome and ensure we we looked after. The hotel is small enough at 60 rooms to feel personal. Special mention should be of Clayton who when serving meals had an engaging knack of remembering who we were, our room number and our preferences, and it wasn't just us. We couldn't find fault with anything; it all worked just as it said it would and the location, for us, at least, was ideal. Not on a beach, but for us that's a positive factor. We would recommend unhesitatingly and if we return to Antigua we will not even consider staying anywhere else.

“Great Vacation”

our overall experience was phenomenal from the spectacular views from carmachiels to the excellent customer service provided by the staff, everyone was always making sure our needs were met. Our room was overlooking the carribean sea and we got to experience the sunset everyday from the comfort of our bed. The food at the resort was delicious and we even had the opportunity to experience some of the local dishes and restaurants because we did not go with the all inclusive package, which we would recommend so as to get a complete antigua experience.

“Wonderful Vacation at Sugar Ridge”

This resort is was a great hotel in the perfect location. Views from our unit were breathtaking. Nestled on a lush hillside and overlooks the bay and the ocean. No beachfront/oceanfront units but beaches very nearby...less than a 5 minute drive. Daily breakfast was delicious and hearty. Great service. On-site restaurants were very good. The only amenity that we had a slight issue with was that our shower pressure was not that great and the water temperature would fluctuate during our shower time. But it wasn't too bothersome. Our balcony was huge and we highly enjoyed its view of the island. All in all, we really enjoyed staying at Sugar Ridge!

“Great time at Sugar Ridge”

My boyfriend and I stayed at Sugar Ridge from June 7-June 13 2010. We had a great time! The room was beautiful with an amazing view to wake up to every morning. We had a room with a pool on the balcony and it was great to dip in after a day at the beach. There is a great little couch/bed outside for naps. We did not stay All-inclusive and it worked out well for us, but if you drink a lot than do it. The breakfast was GREAT, a wide variety of choices and delicious, so filling that we skipped lunch most days grabbing a snack at around 4pm after a day at the beach. The one thing we were worried about was that the resort was not located on its own beach. Vaughn is the hotels driver who has a safari like truck and will take you to most beaches and resturants you would like to go. We loved Turners beach and Fryes and Vaughn set us up with chairs and umbrellas at no charge (we tipped well). If you want to go to St. Johns or FAR beaches, rent a car, we wasted a good deal of money on taxi's those 2 days. St. Johns was OK many cruise ship passengers and expensive shopping. On the opposite side of the island a 100$ cab ride was Half Moon Bay an amazing beach with waves it was absolutely beautiful!! The hotel was new and clean and the food was great at Sugar Club we didn't enjoy Charmichael's as much. The service was great but still needed help in some areas like bringing ice to the room (this was impossible). We had a great time overall and would refer to any friends or family!

“Exotic Bliss!”

Locals were extremely friendly. The beaches were heavenly. Taxi service was exceptional--Thanks Gus and John!
