The indoor pool was very nice.

Location is everything had a room beach side, the view was awesome. Room was clean and bed was just okay. Could use a new topper.

We stayed at Sugar Beach 8-9 years ago and the overall site seems to have gone down hill a bit, but overall was still acceptable and we have no complaints. One surprise was that their included breakfast offering was not a typical buffet, but a selection of pre-boxed breakfasts.

Neat, clean, and friendly staff!!!

Great view, clean and spacious rooms, comfortable beds, nice pool and hot tub

Property was recently renovated, but the chairs had several stains on them.

Nice view of the water - pool area was nice as well. Very convenient to TC.

Tricky use of the term "breakfast included." Probably using the excuse of "Covid" to get away with very meager offerings of breakfast. They give 5 choices to be delivered to the door outside your room. None of which is appetizing nor filling.

It was just ok. Door keys didn’t work all the time. It said it had breakfast, but it was awful, few items to choose from and delivered to your room. All package food I could of got from a convenient store, not what I expected for breakfast included for the price. No smoking area at all, had to stand on the sidewalk at the street. Will not stay there again.

The hotel was right on the beach and the lake is very pretty with clear clean water. The rooms were spacious and clean. The only suggestion would be a restaurant or snack shack on site.

Beautiful and clean property right on the water. Staff was very accomodating with all our requests. Highly recomend if in the area.

Great view of the bay. Family friendly atmosphere.

I could tell that the bed sheets and towels were clean and the room had a wonderful view of the bay. However, the room and beach area had a “rode hard and put up wet” vibe. This is definitely a two, maybe three star (if being generous) Hotel. It has potential to be a four star hotel, but needs serious care, updating and to stop serving “gas station-esq” breakfast.

This hotel is very nice, I could not get over how huge the rooms were! We had gotten the room with the king bed and sofa bed. Absolutely loved the room. Two TVs in it. The hotel sits right on their own private beach. The breakfast was just okay, but you filled out a card and they brought it to your room at a specific time. That was nice we didn't have to leave the room early in the morning. Wasn't too happy about the limited choices though. The staff communicate with you via text and it was nice to be able to have them so attentively available. The pool is very nice and large and it has a hot tub. We loved the families of ducks and baby ducklings that would just wander on the beach and they even came up and were nibbling my toes. The beach itself was quite shallow so that was wonderful with having two young kids. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Location is great

Very outdated, needs a lot of cosmetic changes (needs new paint, new doors, update the bathrooms, update the furniture, new floors needed). Way overpriced. Not the most cleanly place. Dirty showers, didn't even have hand soap in bathroom. Had to ask for it 3 different times to be able to get soap to wash our hands. Not impressed, definitely not worth the price. Will look for better options in the future.
