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.

This was our 3rd stay at Mango Bay, as per previous stays we were not disappointed. The staff are friendly and accommodating, facilities are clean and easily accessible and the beach is a slice of heaven. Whilst the decor is somewhat dated it does not detract from the enjoyment of the stay. The rooms are a good size and beds are spacious and comfortable. Amenities such as iron and hairdryer are provided. The food has always been well cooked and presented, we had no issue in finding something for our son to eat which can be a challenge. Booking time slots is a streamlined process and saves unnecessary waiting. Safe to say we will remain repeat visitors and are returning in April 26. Read less
