The hotel

Mango Bay is in a great location on a beautiful beach on the west coast. We love it because it's a small, friendly hotel that exudes bajan charm. From outside dining under the stars to traditional English afternoon tea, this hotel is ideal if you are looking for a relaxing getaway. The restaurants, bars and boutiques of fashionable Holetown St. James, along with the Limegrove Lifestyle complex, are just footsteps away - and the complimentary catamaran cruise allows you to explore even more that the island has to offer.

Check in was a comfortable experience with a very warm welcome. Exactly what we remember and expected having previously visited this fantastic hotel. What wasn't expected was that they remembered our previous visit. We were allocated the same room that we were in previously which was a nice touch. We also received a nice hand written welcome back card and bottle in our room. The room was spotless and kept that way, with all the facilities you would expect. Location is spot on right on the beach. All staff were incredible happy polite and helpful. Food was amazing with a varied choice and real quality. This whole week was just what we needed as we were so relaxed and just spent time around the pool and on the beach. Nothing negative to say. From start to finish it really was perfect, thank you so much Mango Bay we really would like to return again. Read less

Beautiful Mango Bay! This was our first time in Barbados and from the moment we got to the hotel and were checked in by such a lovely friendly member of staff and shown to our prestige room which was located on the 2nd floor overlooking the pool we knew we had chosen a great hotel. Our room was spacious with a huge double bed. The air conditioning was a god send and worked perfectly. A short walk down the stairs you are by the bar / restaurant / pool and beach just perfect. The pool is perfect with lovely sun loungers and the beach is a stroll away for a dip in the sea. The cocktails are amazing (my favourite was the Pina Colada) but the bar staff are so lovely they will get you anything you would like. The food in the restaurant is very good with a lovely choice or you can have a snack at lunchtime at the bar. Evenings were lovely sitting out under the stars listening to musicians and singers chatting to other holidaymakers. We could not fault this hotel or staff and will be back in Sept 2024! Read less

From the greeting at the door by Julian, to the service and antics of beach server Damian, the staff were welcoming and accommodating. This especially applied to the restaurant service and cooks who not only provided my wife’s necessary gluten free dishes in abundance on the menu, but made G.F. toast and crackers so she didn’t miss out on any food choices. The room, an Oceanfront, was clean, well equipped with a bright bathroom hot beautiful shower and snack stocked refrigerator. Evening entertainment was nice and varied. The sound right below our room was not overwhelming and was enjoyable. Plenty of loungers and beach umbrellas provided shade from the burning hot sun and a nice sandy beach made getting into the ocean easy although the built up sand made getting out harder (my thanks to the kind gentleman who gave me a hand). As a believer in continuous improvement, a few suggestions: We were not able to use or sit by the pool, not enough loungers and virtually no shade when they were available. The containers on the restaurant tables had a wide range of teas but at each meal we had to request sugar as there was insufficient. One of the other staples of Barbados was also missing as I was told by a bartender the rum used was from another island. These minor items in no way distract from a wonderful resort, my wife and I thank you and wish you well. Read less

After reading some of the reviews my sister and I were apprehensive about staying at Mango Bay. However, we need not have worried as I can't speak highly enough about the hotel.

After reading some of the reviews my sister and I were apprehensive about staying at Mango Bay. However, we need not have worried as I can't speak highly enough about the hotel. We stayed in a deluxe room which had a lovely view of the ocean and pool. Every area of the hotel was spotlessly clean (our main priority) and all staff were friendly, helpful and kind and the service was amazing. The food was excellent with a lot of choice. The beach is in the middle of a lovely bay, so we enjoyed lots of walks along the shoreline where you could see stingrays a few feet from the shore. There were a lot of complementary water sports and although we didn't take part in them it was lovely watching people water skiing and kayaking etc. It was lovely swimming in the crystal clear water, however, there is a dip a few feet in, but you do get used to that. Coming out is a bit tricky if you aren't stable on your feet. To sum up we had a lovely holiday and will definitely return. Thank you Mango Bay. Read less
