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.

Just returned from a wonderful 8 nights at Mango Bay. Couldn't recommend this hotel highly enough. Authentic Bajan charm. Staff were all amazing. Room was fabulous (we did upgrade to superior pool / garden room). Snorkeling was exceptional. We never go back to same place twice but we may well do here.

We have recently returned from a 9 day stay at Mango Bay hotel and we absolutely loved it from start to finish. The Hotel is located on a great location in Holetown within easy reach of bars, restaurants, supermarkets and shops. The pool area is great and you can always get a sunbed, the beach is amazing and you can get a sunbed but some guests put their towels down early which makes others follow so you don’t miss out on the good spots on the beach. The restaurant is great we found the food to be of a good standard and there was plenty of choice, also the menu changes from a la carte to buffet and they also have a grill on most days along with snacks etc. we stayed in condo 5 which was amazing for me, my wife and daughter, the condo had 2 big rooms along with a beautiful outdoor space with a table and 4 chairs, we also had loads of storage and a decent size bathroom. The staff at Mango Bay are amazing and I mean all staff, they all work extremely hard from the amazing front of house staff, restaurant staff, housekeeping and the bar staff are also amazing, the Bajan people are so friendly and make you feel extremely welcome. I want to give a special mention to Dale and Naomi who really went the extra mile to accommodate us on our special day and for providing me and my family with a special gazebo meal which was amazing, me and wife booked Mango Bay to renew our wedding vows after 10 years and our chosen gazebo location unfortunately had to have a few running repairs and was not available on the day but Dale and Naomi sorted the other other gazebo and they made our special day extra special, thank you 🙏. We also did the complimentary caterman which again was great, it stopped at the beach right in front of the Loan Star Restaurant Which had crystal clear waters and fine white sand, we also ate at the Loan star on the night of our wedding vows and it was fantastic, anyway back to Mango Bay Hotel, I can’t fault it at all, yes there is a hotel been built close by but you hardly notice the noise but it’s outside of Mango Bays control. I can’t name all to staff but I want to give a massive shout out to both Rayden and Damien who are constantly working extremely hard to serve drinks both at the bar and taking drinks orders by the pool and and beach, we had a lot of interaction with both and they are first class lads and who make you laugh and smile everyday, Damien you are crazy in the best possible way 😂 and Rayden you are a gentleman. I wouldn’t hesitate in going back to Mango Bay, thank you again to all the staff 😀 Read less

Just back after a week at Mango Bay and would probably rate a 3.5 but that option not available . Great location , spotless rooms and lovely staff in the dining/drinks area . Let down by the food , entertainment and shocking customer service from the water sports team which is a shame as most people spend the majority of their holiday on the beach.

Beautiful location & amazing staff! We had an amazing 14 nights here, hotel very clean & tidy. We stayed in one of the ocean view rooms, loads of space, storage and lovely comfy bed, decor and bathroom a little tired, but didn’t ruin our stay one bit. We had read reviews before coming regarding food quality and the building works, but absolutely no worries at all. Firstly the food, we never had the same meal twice, all the food was lovely! We took the opportunity to eat from the a la cart menus, and not only was the food delicious it was perfect portion sizes. The days that the meals were buffet style, again the food was delicious and there was plenty of choice. If you’re looking for massive buffet style then this is not the place for you. Secondly the building works, whilst we were here they completed 1 floor and were forming the second floor (think it was around 4 floors when we left) to be honest we didn’t really notice too much noise and not enough to ruin our holiday (not as noisy as the whistling frogs 😂) you tended to hear more when removing scaffolding or pouring the concrete. We had some brilliant trips out, can’t recommend Daren enough! He collected us from the airport and then was kind enough to take us out for the day exploring this beautiful island. Tre took us to St Nicholas Abbey and gave us a mini tour of the way too. And finally, what can I say about ‘Mark the Shark’ absolutely amazing, our swimming with turtles was a massive tick off our bucket list! Can’t thank him enough. Lastly, we found ALL of the staff to be friendly, helpful and blooming lovely, a special shout out to Isabelle who goes out of her way to check in with you, Ronald (guest services), Damien, Rayden, Anderson, Faith, Cl-Ann, Maxine, Annetta P & Donnell. Without you all our holiday wouldn’t have been the same 🩵🩷 Read less

Second time here and it did not disappoint. Rooms are a little dated but clean and lovely big comfortable bed. The staff are absolutely lovely! The only reason I can think of if people complain about them is that they don't treat them with the respect they deserve and they obviously react accordingly. The food was gorgeous! A la carte most nights or buffet, same for lunch. Again can't think why people complain unless they are after piling their plates high with everything they can only to waste it. It's not that sort of dining. The beach is beautiful, very clear, shallow water with plenty of sun beds and lovely walks both ways. Rayden and Damien are always on hand to bring drinks from the bar. We didn't use the pool but it looked ok. We hired a car for a couple of days to get around the island which was lovely. Can't wait to return! Read less
