Fodor's Expert Review Dreams Sugar Bay St. Thomas
6500 Estate Smith Bay, Estate Smith Bay, Saint Thomas, 00802, U.S. Virgin Islands
This family-friendly, all-inclusive resort is unmistakable for its terra-cotta high-rise accommodations surrounded by palm trees and lush greenery. However, you get the feeling you’re at a generic resort when in the walkways between rooms. That said, the sixth and seventh levels in building D have spectacular ocean views. The rooms are furnished in a light bright tropical style with white tile floors and marble-tile bathrooms. The beach is small, although the nearby pool is replete with waterfalls and colorful cabanas housing hair braiders and henna tattoo artists that make a day of lounging here idyllic. It's a 99-step hike from guest rooms, however. Health buffs enjoy the full-service spa and health club, as well as the outdoor fitness trail. If you're feeling lucky, head to the Ocean Club Gaming Center, where there are 95 video slot machines.
