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.

Impeccable staff, who are welcoming warm and ooze a love for hospitality and their customers. Too many to name as they’re all fantastic!!! The hotel is on the older side, but unlike the negative comments below, let’s call it traditional, loved and lived in! It’s also immaculately clean and cool. The location is truly fabulous, walking distance to bars, restaurants ( from beach shacks to 5 star cuisine) The beautiful beach is kept well, with comfortable sun loungers - all with parasols and the buoys keep you safe in the water if you just want to swim. The drinks are all labelled top shelf brands, the cocktails are not drowned in sugar syrup, and are mixed whilst you wait. The food is great - à la carte dining (so make sure you pack collared tops for men, as this is the rule in low season. High season, is long short/trousers) We left leaving a bit of our hearts behind…ignore the critics, just go, you’ll love it ❤️ Read less

Hats off to them! Honestly rate them all so highly. Head chef, that man does some amazing food à la carte nights do not disappoint. The ladies and gents that get pulled in for the evening entertainment circuit are great. It’s just generally a great place to unwind, drink, eat and on a Sunday night party! See you guys soon!

The fact that this hotel only has 67 rooms is very much part of its charm. From the day of arrival to the day of departure, all of the staff were friendly and we felt very relaxed. We had a superior room on the ground floor with an undercover terrace. The room was spacious with ample hanging space and drawers, and a lovely shower room. It was cleaned every day and even if you had a siesta, the bed (which was very comfortable) was made up again before you returned to your room in the evening. Little extras such as a hairdryer and a torch were also provided. The dining room consisted of two parts - open air or inside; the food was either buffet or a la carte and whilst the menu was not extensive there was enough choice, usually a fish dish, meat and vegetarian (both traditional food and the usual western fayre was available and not a chip in sight). At lunch time you could also order from a small snack menu which included fries. Branded drinks, if you wanted them, were part of the all-inclusive package. The pool was cleaned every day and whilst not large it was big enough in relation to the size of hotel, and the beautiful white sand and clear Caribbean sea was only a few yards away. There were also plenty of loungers around the pool, in front of the hotel overlooking the sea, or on the beach itself. There are activities throughout the day (such as quizzes and rum tasting) and evening entertainment outside each night (usually solo artists or duets). Mango Bay is close to both First and Second Street where there are a lot of bars, restaurants and clubs. Other reviews had commented on the music and noise from these premises but to be honest we were not bothered by it at all, not even on a Friday or Saturday night. A lot of the guests were repeaters, some had been staying there for 25 - 30 years, and it's easy to see why they return year after year. If you want a big blingy hotel with over the top luxury, then this is not for you, but if you want a charming traditional Bajan hotel with great staff then that's what you'll get. Read less
