My husband and I stayed at Sugar Ridge on the Aveda Reward Program. Cons - Very few. We arrived on Saturday and were advised that the owner was being married that day, thus Carmichael's was closed, but we were invited to the reception. Carmichaels is also closed on Sundays. We ate dinner at the Sugar Club. We enjoyed the music... More

This is a beautiful hotel with amazing service. We got moved to a room with a view instead of the room with a plunge pool, which was a blessing. The plunge pools were not even close to the photos on the website and were really tiny. I wasn't sure if I would like staying away from the beach, but I... More

Great food and a lovely spot but I wonder if Sugar Ridge is finding times tough? Perhaps there were just too few staff to offer a great service or maybe we were unlucky and our trip coincided with a lavish wedding for the owner of the resort but we were left feeling less than special for our anniversary trip.

Just stayed at Sugar Ridge last week - what a wonderful week! First - one downer: The website's photos of the rooms ARE just a BIT misleading - the rooms with the plunge pool are VERY small and the pool itself is quite small, and we barely used it anyway. I would say to spring for a room without one.... More

This is a beautifully run, wonderfully relaxing boutique hotel/resort. Although it does not seem suitable for couples with children. The staff is fantastic and could not be more helpful. The beaches are a short jitney ride away, the food is terrific (especially at Carmichael's, the big restaurant at the top of the ridge) and the rooms are appealing. All of... More

My husband and I decided to renew our vows in Antigua. We contacted Sugar Ridge less than 14 days before our event. We spoke with Jolie Watkins who turned out to be Wedding Planner Extraordinaire!! Ms. Watkins was always pleasant, she responded to our numerous emails immediately, took every phone call and treated us like our event was the only... More

Just returned from a lovely week's break at Sugar Ridge. It's important to stress that this is a boutique hotel NOT a resort. It's not a place you could spend the whole holiday just hanging out and definitely not for children. It's well positioned for exploring the island, being close to Jolly Harbour, St Johns, some gorgeous beaches and decent... More

We were of delighted to read that overall you very much enjoyed holiday.

What a stunning 10 day honeymoon, would highly recommend. All rooms have a fabulous sea view of the turquoise waters, great for sunsets too. Carmichaels resturant, as well as the excellent menu and superb food, is also an excellent spot to watch the sun go down, cocktail in hand. The view from there is one you'd certainly never tire of!... More

We recently arrived back from a week's stay here and really enjoyed it. We chose the hotel due to the positive comments here and certainly agree with those.

We stayed on the all-inclusive plan over Easter weekend and loved the hotel.
