We had a wonderful stay. We couldn’t fault the apartment, we had everything to make our stay comfortable - cooking / cleaning etc. and felt completely at home. Access to the fairmont was a great addition, we will definitely be returning.
We had another wonderful stay at this terrific property. The location is ideal and the hosts are truly super. This was a return visit for us and we plan to book again. Thank you Gail and Chris for sharing your home away from home with us!
Overall, a wonderful experience. The host was nothing short of perfect in all respects. Gail was able to address all of our needs, which really were none due to the superb condition and great information that was provided for our stay. We could not have asked for a better host and place. Thank you for making this one of our best trips yet.
Gail is a wonderful host and we really enjoyed our stay.

Although the indoor space was a bit snugger than expected, the two levels of outdoor space were magnificent. The unit was very well appointed and provisioned, and the owner was a pleasure to work with.

Thank you for your great review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and Sugar Hill. We are happy that you enjoyed the outside areas, we specifically purchased the apartment for the wonderful outside spaces it gives us. The downstairs dining terrace and comfortable reading chairs with fans to keep cool. in the evening we always go up to the upper terrace to enjoy some sundowners whilst watching the sunsets, or even star gaze with our binoculars for fab stargazing.
you are welcome back anytime. kindest regards', Gail and Chris.
We had a wonderful stay at Sugar Hill. The apartment is everything you need and more.If you have any questions just ask as from the point of booking all the way to the end of your stay you are kept informed and updated by the hosts. This includes the obligatory checking in process but also tips on the area, restaurants, shopping where to, how to and what to. The beach club membership is an added advantageWe will be returning to Barbados as soon as we are able and will have no hesitation in staying here again.

Had a wonderful time and very much enjoyed the Sugar Hill apartment. The Deck restaurant on location and both pools are even better than the pictures. Meals outside on the balcony are a plus. The location and how close it is to the beach and Holetown are ideal. After a long day of exploring we always looked forward to getting back to relax and enjoy the facility.

Thank you so much for a great review. We are so pleased you enjoyed our apartment and indeed Sugar Hill. The estate is wonderful and kept in pristine condition. The grounds and pools are glorious to come back too after a hard day exploring. 'The Deck' restaurant is a superb setting over looking the West coast, with a great viewing point for those sunsets. It also has a great menu and happy hours twice weekly. We are glad you enjoyed it all.
You are welcome back anytime. Kindest regards, Gail and Chris.
Wonderful, clean, quiet space and nicely decorated. Lovely grounds and outstanding amenities. Going back again soon.

From the moment we stepped into the villa, we knew we made a great decision. The view overlooking the pool was beautiful. The furnishings are very comfortable and the villa is well stocked. The owners have thought of everything including some welcoming supplies in the refrigerator. The communication was excellent before, during and after our trip! We look forward to returning.

Thank you so much for a great review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us and Sugar Hill. All the beaches are fab on the Island and we have 2 sand chairs in addition to the beach mats etc so that you can discover some more remote beaches which are stunning and worth exploring. Look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Kindest Regards, Gail and Chris
My husband & I stayed here for 10 days in February 2023 for my birthday break. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is gorgeous with everything you need. The location is very convenient & we used the beach club most days. We hired a car for the whole stay so that we could drive round the island.
I can not recommend the apartment enough.
Thank you Gail, again for a truly memorable stay.

We love the beach club and those comfy sun loungers so easy to drift away …… and then have a sundowner at Ju Jus bar just perfect!
Hope to welcome you both back soon.
Very best wishes,
Gail and Chris.
We had a wonderful trip to Barbados and enjoyed our stay at this condo in Sugar Hill. Gail went above and beyond to provide us with information and tips for a great vacation. The groceries in the refrigerator when we arrived was really a nice extra. The unit is well maintained and was spotless. We loved the two outdoor balconies and spent much of our time at the condo on them. The owners provide so many extras such as beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach towels, cooler bags, etc. We had a rental car and drove to different beaches and sites around the island. I recommend this unit for any couple planning to visit Barbados.

Thank you for your wonderful review and kind words about our apartment. We are so glad that you had a great stay and enjoyed discovering the Island. The beach club is great, but there are so many wonderful beach spots around the Island, some with no one on them, and the beach chairs etc are great for those discovery days. We love our outside areas and we too spend a lot of time on them., Watching the birds/monkeys and listening to the tree frogs come the evening with a great view of the sunsets. perfect chillax spot.
You are both welcome to stay anytime. kindest regards, Gail and Chris
First time in Barbados and this is the perfect apartment for a holiday. It overlooks the pool in Sugar Hill development and is warm comfortable and has everything you could think of . Most importantly, the owners Gail and Chris were so helpful pre visit in terms of car rental, where to go, where to shop, restaurants and of course the beaches. Their manager Alicia was also on hand for any query. This was our first time to Barbados and will definitely come back due to the warmth of the people , their humour and of course the island.

We hope to see you in the future.

The apartment is lovely. Very well-equipped and well located. Just a short walk from the pool and sunbeds, the gym and reception. The top floor is perfect for peaceful sunbathing. Gail, the owner, was excellent at communication before and during our stay. The Fairmont Beach Club pass was an added bonus. Sugar Hill is only a few minutes drive from Holetown, so plenty of restaurant choice. Overall, the apartment and Sugar Hill is hard to fault.

Our one-week stay at this stunning penthouse in the exclusive Sugar Hill Estate was pure magic - the most exquisite holiday rental experience we've ever had. It felt like a five-star resort offering complete privacy and comfort.The apartment is luxurious and flawlessly equipped. The kitchen has everything you need, the living space has brand new AC, and the renovated bathroom felt like a spa. Thoughtful touches like beach towels and a cooler made days out seamless.The private outdoor space is the true highlight. The lower terrace overlooks a peaceful pool, perfect for dining, but the rooftop terrace is a sanctuary. With sumptuous furniture and incredible sea views, watching the spectacular West Coast sunsets from up there was a memory we will cherish forever.The complimentary Beach Club Membership at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion was a game-changer, granting access to premium sun beds on the breathtaking beach nearby.Finally, the hosts' communication was exceptional—prompt, friendly, and full of great local recommendations. We highly recommend this apartment. It’s not just a rental; it's a slice of Barbadian paradise. We're already planning our return! 10/10 - Unforgettable!
A lovely well equipped property set in beautiful gardens with access to the facilities of Sugar Hill. Well located to visit Barbados . A car is recommended but we managed well with taxis and walking (even uphill on the way back) to the beach club at stunning Alleynes Bay - membership really enhances the holiday. Local buses to Holetown are fun to ride too.The hosts were very informative and responsive. Rarely return to the same place but we have already booked to come back. Highly recommended.

About the host
Hosted by Chris and Gail O’Toole
We have been coming to the Island for over 20+ years and always dreamt of one day owning our own property. We love the Island, it’s culture and the people are what makes it so special. The beaches are amazing and each coastline is different. You can do as much or as little as you want to to relax here. In October 2019 this dream became a reality and now we have our own piece of this wonderful paradise to call our second home.
Why they chose this property
Sugar Hill is an amazing private estate, with beautiful gardens and fab facilities. It has a community feel and set within a tranquil environment yet so close to Holetown and the West coast beaches. Best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
Our private and secluded roof terrace , recently refurbished in October 2020/June 2021 with new porcelain tiles, with sea views set between the majestic swaying palm trees. Sumptuous outdoor furniture makes this a relaxing area for sunbathing or with a drink watching the amazing West coast sunsets. Or star gazing with the back drop of a few twinkling candles and listening to the birds and tree frogs. It simply doesn’t get any better than this!
Premier Host
They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
