Josiah's Bay Tours and Activities

Trip was amazing. This is a small resort that has incredible rooms, restaurants, and a private beach. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. The manager, Andrea, was very helpful and always was ready to do whatever we needed to make our stay great. The main restaurant had amazing food and outstanding service. The beachfront restaurant was a little more casual but food and service was great as well. Eating breakfast on the beach was relaxing. Carlos at the bar was friendly and good with the drinks. The resort is remote and not in a busy area, while this is wonderfully relaxing it does mean that there is very little within walking distance. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance, if you need to go to the store or to another restaurant you'll need a taxi. The hotel is always glad to help you book one and the cab drivers were all fun and happy to talk about the island. If you're looking for a relaxing trip to the beach, with beautiful views, amazing staff, away from crowds, and top tier food you won't go wrong with the Sugar Mill.

Great staff and facilities

Beautiful view and lovely tastefully designed room which was cleaned well for us. The only wardrobe was ludicrous Too short to hang men’s shirts let alone women’s dresses. There was no magnifying shaving mirror and the hairdryer was a cheap and nasty Conair model. The picture window in shower room was stunning as it could be switched from clear to opaque. The pool area was across the road and spartan with insufficient parasols. Sunbeds were soaking wet after it rained as they were not waterproof There was no pool attendant and just one barman for the whole area. Reception is a minuscule beach hut with no cover from the weather and very disorganised with a wait of one and a half hours to check in. There is no-where to shelter for guests and their baggage when it rains. Although the style is bohemian ‘chi-chi’ it is most impractical. We only had breakfast once as the staff were offhand and idle. The fried eggs were rock hard, bacon cold and when we asked to change them we got a filthy look and no apology. The beach is beautiful. Despite being charged an extra $25 a day per person for our 5 day stay for their amenities there is no beach attendant and the beds get soaking wet and grubby as they are not waterproof and blow around in the strong wind where they are left. Most of the other single slatted beds were broken in two and lying around dangerously. An eyesore. Overall our experience of our 5 day stay was that this resort is very overrated and poor value for money.
