Mango Bay

Barbados, Caribbean

Star rating

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.

I had a fairly low opinion of all inclusive holidays but Mango any has changed all that for me. The food drinks and service were outstanding and as good as I’ve had anywhere on the island at 5 star resorts Shinaya the chef is amazing

Just home from a wonderful 12 day stay in Mango Bay. Our first stay in Barbados and what a way to do it. Lovely friendly hotel. The room we were given was nice and spacious for my wife, I and our daughter. The beach is gorgeous, we visited a few different ones around the island and thought we were definitely spoilt with the location of the Hotel. Beautiful sandy beach, clear calm waters. Plenty of food options in the restaurant which was regularly al le carte for lunch and dinner, which we liked. Made meal times feel more of an occasion. Food was always varied of a good quality and well cooked. Easy bar food was available too for those who wanted to stay by the pool. The bar too was well stocked with named brands with a good cocktail list that the bar staff would happily pour liberally to order. We visited with our daughter and from the moment we arrived the staff were incredible with her, made her feel like a celebrity. Whilst all staff were fab particularly loved Shemar, Damien, Rayden and Ronald around the bar and Donnel, Sabrina and Cly-ann in the restaurant. Celebrated my birthday during our stay and again all staff on the day went the extra mile to make it special. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Read less

Just home from our second visit to mango bay. We loved it last year so decided to return. This year was even better Great welcome in reception with a rum punch and quickly checked in. We had a fab room by the pool the same one as the year before. Our room was always cleaned well and we even had a bottle of bubbly and card waiting for us. We were well looked after by all the fantastic staff. There are too many to mention but big thank you to Damien Rayden Anderson and Ronald at the bar and the lovely girls at the restaurant particularly Maxine who always made us smile. The water sports boys were fab and looked after us too thank you Sham!! Breakfast buffet is good and they make a fab fresh omelette! We enjoy the a la carte menu at lunch and dinner always delicious and the choice is good. There did seem to be more buffets this year than last year which we were not so keen on as food would run out sometimes if you were a later booking. We would prefer less of these. The lunch menu from the bar is also very good to have between 12-4 Drinks were great so much choice and every cocktail you can think of. Water sports included and there were trips you could take with the hotel and a few activities during the day. Evening entertainment was varied with singers etc which were pretty good. Some nights were quiet. The addition of the pool table in the games room was a big hit with the teens this year!! We met friends from last year and made many new ones. Overall a perfect holiday. Will we be back? Oh yes can’t wait to return. Read less

We have had a wonderful relaxing 10 days at Mango Bay and are already wanting a return visit. Before arriving we were a little concerned about some of the negative reviews but can confirm there is nothing negative! The staff are simply amazing, all welcoming and make the stay a fun and relaxed one. A special call out to Rayden, Damien, Andersen kept us fuelled with the most amazing cocktails and drinks - always with a smile and laugh. The food is a wonderful mix of buffet and Al la carte plus the relaxed beach menu. There are snacks and afternoon tea on offer so we were never hungry. Yes we visited a few local restaurants which were amazing. So a nice mix. Calma Bay and Zacchios are great to visit and a nice walk away. The beach is stunning, offering great water activities and chill time and some truly beautiful sunsets. The evening entertainment was mostly chilled singes who were all very good. Our teenage boys - 13 and 20 have loved every movement and we all feel it has been one of our best holidays ever! Yes there is a hotel been built next door - never bothered us at all and to be honest you soon forget about it! So ignore all the negative comments and visit Mango Bay - it’s a really wonderful place!! Read less
