Well stocked kitchen. The place was as advertised and the views were even better. You can see Haleakala completely and you have a generous view of the ocean too. Great spot. I'll be back.
We extended our stay by a few days and were very happy with the accommodations! The bed was so comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities! The location was central to all the sites and activities we had planned.
Overall great stay. Location is great. Condo was stocked for our arrival. Lots of spices for cooking, great beach chairs as well. The bed was super comfortable after long days on the beach or walks and hikes. Condo is a bit dated, but who goes to Maui to stay in a condo. Communication with host was great. Would definitely stay at this resort again.
Well kept property in a quiet area. You could walk a long time on the beach and not run into lots of people. If you want lots of beach and sun, this is the place!
The condo had everything we needed for a nice beach vacation. Chairs, umbrellas, cooler, etc. Communication with the owner was great and she was very flexible on check in and check out timing. The only thing we were disappointed in was that the beach wasn't great for swimming, it's on a stretch of mud flats.
Sugar Beach exceeded our expectations! Our room was impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable. The room provided everything we needed for both beach days and relaxing poolside. We cherished our morning walks along the beach and were captivated by the breathtaking sunsets enjoyed during our evening meals. Our entire family had a truly memorable experience and we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to return someday."
Everything was easy. The swimming pool is a very nice hangout area. The small cafe/bar had very bartenders and yummy drinks. We definitely would stay again. Kay
We love the location of sugar beach resort. We have stayed at this resort 2 times and have always been happy with our decision. This particular condo has road noise, but we expected it based on its location within the resort. I won’t say this resort is “fancy” but it has all the qualities (beachfront, pool, hot tub) for a great vacation. Bonus, is Dina’s sandwich shop, amazing Rueben sandwich!
Love Sugar Beach Resort. Condo was well appointed and comfortable. A little road noise but we knew it’s proximity to the road when we booked. Overall great experience.
We LOVED this prooperty. We previously stayed in penthouse 14 in the other building, but this one felt way more cozy and "family friendly". We had a slight issue with the code working and the owner andered immediately to get it fixed for us. They have EVERYTHING you could need in the unit (extra sheets, blankets, laundry products, cleaning products, spices and oils and ALL kitchen supplies you could need) we only had to spend about 400 at walmart to last us 10 days of meals cooking there. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for the perfect relaxing spot.
Great place, nice beach access, the facility and pool were very accessible. Unfortunately the wind tunnel effect of the sugar beach resort made it very difficult to enjoy in the afternoon. Blowing hats, books and flip flops away while trying to enjoy the pool. Thats the only reason we wouldn’t stay there again
Everything was very nice. We really enjoyed sitting on the lanai at night and looking at the ocean. You could even see Molokini and views of Haleakala in the morning colors were beautiful above the other building. Early morning walks on the beach were a great way to start the day. We had so much fun we never made it to the pool. We would definitely stay here again.
