Clapham Vacation Packages

Staff are absolutely great, yes this is an older property but it has great sea views a beautiful beach a few steps away and a team that go over and above to make you enjoy yourself.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Sugar Bay Barbados, thanks largely to its fantastic location, great food, and excellent staff, though there are a few areas that could be improved. The location is brilliant, with a beautiful beachfront setting, and the watersports were great, adding real value to the stay. Drinks across the hotel were very good, and the buffet food was superb, offering excellent quality and variety. A special mention goes to the staff in the Reef restaurant, who were amazing, along with most of the bar staff—friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout. However, several issues detracted from the experience. The WiFi around the pool was weak, and bar opening times were rarely adhered to, which was frustrating for an all-inclusive resort. Pool bed service was rarely visible and never reached the upper terrace. The TV channel selection was very limited, and the steakhouse restaurant was disappointing, with poor food quality. The all-inclusive offering also felt restrictive, as guests are only allowed to visit the à la carte restaurants twice per week and menus are restricted in terms of what you can order. Overall, Sugar Bay has many strengths, but improvements in service consistency, dining flexibility, and amenities would significantly enhance the guest experience.

They did not honor my availability to upgrade me since I’m A gold VIP member , I was extremely disappointed …the place looked so empty ,but overall it was well maintained with beautiful location and if you not there before 4pm there’ll be nobody there to greet you or to assist, so get there early lol

We have just returned from our first stay at Cobblers Cove, and our first visit to Barbados. The staff are a true credit to the hotel and we heartily thank them for one of our most magical vacations ever. In particular, we appreciated the hospitality and warmth shown to us by Juanne, Alea, Kennedy, and Gregory. We are already plotting our return! The property is stunning. Walk along the shore and hunt for sea glass. The breakwater allows for easy swimming in the gorgeous Caribbean Sea. We saw hummingbirds, the island's iconic monkeys, and sea turtles just off the shore. Don't miss the boat ride with Roger and the garden tour with Kennedy, both complimentary! The sunbeds were over-the-top comfortable. Pool attendants circulated with ice water, cool towels, and sorbet throughout the afternoon. The interiors throughout are beautifully curated. Our room was lovingly cleaned each day and we were spoiled by the turndown service. If we were being really picky, we felt the pool could have been skimmed more often. Breakfast each morning (as well as Afternoon Tea) are included in your stay. We enjoyed both! We did note that the dinners are lacking for the cost, but find that typical of most resorts, even high-quality ones. We'd probably skip the Tuesday evening BBQ and take dinner at one of the nearby restaurants instead (Fishpot is excellent!) if we were to do it over. That said, the entertainment in the evenings was delightful, including steel drum musicians and a jazz singer.
