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.

Spent 9 nights at Mango Bay all-inclusive hotel at well over £300 a night. Food was average at best, but uninspired and uninspiring. Sometimes it was poor - especially desserts and pastries. Buffets lacked variety with a token salad bar. Service was haphazard - sometimes good, sometimes absent. Facilities OK - not 4 or 5 star - but there's no seafront free from motor boats and jetskis. Overall, not good value for money. Read less
