What the reviews tell us
Water and soft drinks are charged to guests despite half-board plan inclusion, violating plan terms
Beverage prices are significantly inflated (e.g., 330ml beer at 400 Rs, house wine at 1500 Rs for two glasses)
Water charges are consistently flagged as high, affecting multiple guests across different visits
Pattern is consistent across recent 2026 reviews from Middle Eastern and European guests, indicating systemic practice
Sugar Beach has a clear pattern of unexpected and unreasonable food and beverage charges. Multiple recent reviewers (from diverse countries including Saudi Arabia, UAE, and France) report being charged for water and soft drinks despite being on half-board (HB) basis plans that should include these items. Beyond compliance issues, the hotel's drink pricing is notably inflated—a 330ml draft beer costs 400 Mauritian Rupees and house wine runs 1500 Rs for two glasses, which reviewers characterize as prohibitively expensive. Water pricing in particular emerges as a recurring frustration point. These charges and prices appear to affect guests across different booking plans and nationalities, suggesting a systematic approach rather than isolated incidents.
