I have heard so many negative reviews about Sugar Beach. We stayed there March 17-26, 2011 at Condo #103. We highly recommend this condo! Everything was spotless and very well stocked. Everything worked perfectly. Very roomy for 4 adults. 2 bedrooms, 2 baths. This is a condo from a private owner. The only problem we had was the beach not being cleaned everyday. They cleaned it only 2 days out of the 10 we were there. Complained to the office and they said there are more important up keep to do other than the beach. Seriously? They did however clean up the beach after complaining, but again only 2 days out of the 10. Pool was wonderful! Going back next year to condo #103.

I got there at 10pm, but had confirmed the late arrival by phone earlier in the day. The security guard took me to the room, where the key didn't work. He had to call the property manager who arrived by 10:25. Although on property to give the guard the correct keys, the manager never once came to apologize for the inconvenience. The unit (106) was lovely, spacious and felt very safe. The sound of the waves and ocean breezes from right off the patio were really nice. Unfortunately, there was no hot water in the shower and the showers and bathroom floors had lots of hair....like from 5-6 different people. GROSS. When I complained at the desk, the man writing down the issues never once looked at me or apologized. He said he'd make a note of it and that's about all he did because neither issue was ever addressed. The bathroom floors and showers stayed hairy through the entire stay and there was never hot water. I like to feel the sand between my toes at the beach....not constant flip flops because the bathroom floor is gross!

St. Croix has the nicest people of anywhere we have travelled. Downtown Christiansted was a pleasure to shop and visit. The hotel at Sugar Beach was affordable, but nothing outstanding. Plywood under the matresses for support. Hundreds of baby roaches circling in the kitchen. Air conditioning that didn't work. Cable TV with 2 channels. Our family is used to traveling to places with bugs, but this could be ugly if you are not used to insects. The hotel is next to the power plant, so you can't kayak too far up the beach. The beach is unusable for swimming, with all the sea grass. My son is allergic to it. The community pool is nice, and has many local children sneaking in to use it.

I love St. Croix, and this area of town is affordable, but comes at a cost with a great shell hunting, but not swimming beach, and not any worthy restaraunts close. You need a car to get to the local grocery that has anything one needs. Of course, cooking those groceries in the kitchen with cockroaches is pretty challenging.

In reality, we wanted to leave early, but all the flights were full, so we were stuck to the end of our stay. To end on a positive note, the island is gorgeous, snorkling at cane bay is unbelievable, and Buck island we had to do twice!

We stayed at "Theatre on the Beach" for a week with our 3 young children (the oldest was 6). The unit was really spacious and well-equipped. We got a great rate and did most of our cooking at the condo making our vacation very affordable. The beach was safe for the kids, the constant breeze was very pleasant, the large TV and movie selection made evenings relaxing, the pool was beautiful and clean - and we usually had it to ourselves. The shower with 2 heads was fantastic for showering off the kids after the beach. (Lots of toys in the closet.) We took low-key outings to tour the forts and botanical gardens. Couldn't have asked for a more refreshing and relaxing vacation - looking forward to visiting again. FYI: the theatre on the beach unit does not walk straight out to the beach - you have to walk out the parking lot door then around the side of the building to get there. It does look straight out from the patio and the walk is easy and very quick. You may want to wear water shoes b/c my son got a sea urchin spike in his foot.
